    Unlike acne on your face, for which there are countless products and treatments for, body acne tends to be a little bit harder to find a solution. This is why we have rounded up the best products with superstar acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acids, to help you wave goodbye to back and chest (and bum) pimples for good.

    Paula’s Choice Clear Acne Body Spray

    Utilising 2% salicylic acid to penetrate clogged pores, this spray is perfect for reaching hard-to-get-to areas, such as the back. Plus, as it’s fast-drying and non-irritating it can be used on the go and will eliminate body bumps and spots in no time. Find it here.

    I have oily skin or are prone to hormonal changes, and stubborn little pimples and zits can appear on my body too. So I think using the best body wash for acne prone skin is just one of the ways I can prevent acne from head to toe.

    When I went backpacking last year, it was hot and I acquired pimples on my shoulders.
    Miramarmari 26 Mar 2020 2:45 PM
    So many different brands that are on offer for chest and back pimples.
    talk-a-lot 24 Feb 2020 5:05 PM
    I am thankful I don't get pimples on my back or chest, it is my chin that suffers.
    Floreview 10 Jan 2020 4:13 PM
    My solution for back-ne is to use a loofah and make sure I shower immediately after excessive sweating.
    GeeJ 21 Jul 2019 8:42 PM
    I'm glad I don't need to worry about body acne.

    I know a young teen who has acne all over her back. I'll let her know about his article.
    Kassalee 18 Jul 2019 7:10 AM
    Haven’t tried any of these but I’ll check out the CeraVe after hearing about it in the forums (thanks to Lucy) but this product isn’t listed on Bh.
    CLWoods 17 Jul 2019 9:37 PM
    I love ANYTHING Mario Badescu!!
    NellAdams 13 Jul 2019 7:17 PM
    Definitely an issue for me, definitely going to be trying some of these.
    abbeyleee12 11 Jul 2019 7:48 AM
    would love to try the Mario badescu, love there range!

    I only have check acne when I was very young, and when I use the wrong product.
    jatz 4 Jul 2019 8:36 PM
    I've never suffered from this happening but it's great that there are products out there for those that do. :-)
    Beauty Fan 69 4 Jul 2019 8:07 PM
    Thanks for the product suggestions, they look good.
    ThisIsMe 4 Jul 2019 2:05 PM
    Luckily I don't have this issue either but there are quite a few products to pick from for those that do have this problem.
    heatherrs 4 Jul 2019 7:49 AM
    I find that just a good old scrub with a cloth really does some wonders! and also making sure I properly wash off conditioner
    LadyLola 4 Jul 2019 7:17 AM
    I'm lucky and never had this problem, my 27 year old son however does and he swears by all asap products.
    MerryGoRound 8 Jul 2019 10:16 PM
    Good to know, thanks LL
    Hayley644 4 Jul 2019 6:57 AM
    Not an issue for me.
    HappyDailyBeauty 3 Jul 2019 11:08 PM
    I do have acne at my back especially during the summer and I used Thursday Plantation soap for my back. It does help.
    Shop A Everyday 3 Jul 2019 10:16 PM
    I wish my pimples on my face would be on my back
    Yohanna 3 Jul 2019 8:41 PM
    Just stop eating stuff that cause them and wash daily. Until they are gone, scrubby scrubby xD

    Oh, some hair conditioners/masks are super hard to rinse...so after rinsing hair very well, move hair forwards and rinse back well too! Have noticed that after washing my hair (that is up to the buttocks hehe) my back is slimy. Need uber rinse =D
    NellAdams 13 Jul 2019 7:19 PM
    Most acne isn't a hygiene issue... just a hurtful stereotype. I get horrible acne on my chest at certain times of the month. I am not incapable of showering daily and cleaning myself...
    nicsta 3 Jul 2019 7:34 PM
    i'll try anything. for some reason i have pimples appearing on my back. hate it!!
    Lucy16 3 Jul 2019 7:16 PM
    Paula's Choice for the delivery mode hands down!
    MerryGoRound 8 Jul 2019 10:20 PM
    I was thinking the same thing. 1. No touch is good. 2. Able to reach more difficult spots. Going to give this a go I think. My acne is horrible and hormonal, so I’m hoping this will work. Regular exfoliating and wash regime is useless.
    Lucy16 3 Jul 2019 7:15 PM
    Neutrogena SA range is generally good...
    CherryBlossom 3 Jul 2019 7:07 PM
    I don't get too many of these, only the odd pimple or tiny pimple in my back, somewhere I can touch it, but can't see it! And it just takes its time and goes away. But now, I wonder what caused it to come in the first place.
    Tee631 3 Jul 2019 6:57 PM
    I want to try Cervave
    Lucy16 3 Jul 2019 7:09 PM
    I’m a CeraVe evangelist.

    I used to import it before it launched in Australia.

    The SA wash is phenomenal.

    By contrast, the hydrating wash is amazing for your body but not for your face.

    If you want to try other things in their range not available here, try iHerb or VitaCost!

    clearcrystalwater 3 Jul 2019 6:47 PM
    These sound great for backs.
    the_girl_who_loves_cosmetics 3 Jul 2019 6:39 PM
    I was going to suggest The Body Shop Tea Tree Wash.
    Eskimo82 3 Jul 2019 5:32 PM
    I spot treat with Tea Tree Oil and it works well for me.
    Miss19 3 Jul 2019 5:01 PM
    A spray would make it much easier to apply!
    Lucy16 3 Jul 2019 7:15 PM
    Totally agree!!!
    IndieAna 3 Jul 2019 4:05 PM
    I don't have this issue, but I would assume a spray would be so convenient
    Beautybabe140194 3 Jul 2019 3:51 PM
    I love Paula's Choice. I don't have a problem with back pimples but I use Paula's Choice for my face.
    Lucy16 3 Jul 2019 7:12 PM
    I’m yet to try the range but have immense respect for Paula Begoun. ❤️
    MoonlightSak16 3 Jul 2019 2:40 PM
    Thankfully I don't get back and chest acne.
    Rhianna_little123 30 Jun 2019 10:41 PM
    salicylic acid works well
    Peach perfect 16 May 2019 3:44 PM
    A great product list here.
    Shop A Everyday 26 Apr 2019 9:07 PM
    A spray sounds really good
    Shop A Everyday 8 Mar 2019 10:57 PM
    I got a sample of the Body Shops Tea Oil for acne, I am hoping it works
    lipstickwhitch 3 Mar 2019 12:43 PM
    Has anyone tried any of these? I’m dying to but I can’t decide which one to try first
    Beauty Fan 69 19 Feb 2019 2:33 PM
    Really great products here, thanks bh!
    jillian206 18 Feb 2019 11:42 AM
    There are a few brands of body cream/lotions with glycolic acid in them as well which works beautifully.
    Alishes 15 Feb 2019 6:31 PM
    I have this issue, particularly in winter when I'm covered up and in heated environments. It's like my skin can't breathe and it reacts by breaking out. I definitely find that bha's and aha's help clear my skin and keep breakouts at bay.
    I've tried the Proactive body wash with little success. Paula's Choice has some great products that have become my go-to.
    ThisIsMe 15 Feb 2019 9:15 AM
    Luckily I don't get this either, maybe a pimpe once every so often on my upper back.
