All About Acne Body Wash

If you’re like me, you not only get acne on your face now and
then, but all over your body as
well. Although I normally only
get acne on my face and back,
I’ve had at least some amount
of acne on just about every area
of my skin at one point or other
in my life. My feet, legs, and
(ahem) genital area seems to be
the only places to escape it completely
so far. While there is a certain
relief to that fact, having acne
on my scalp, back, butt, chest,
stomach, and shoulders is not
exactly fun. For this reason I’ve
done plenty of experimenting with
acne body washes.
Oh, the joy of acne body washes
knows no bounds. They come in
different sizes, shapes, colors,
smells, and flavors. Well, okay,
I’m not sure about the flavor
part, but there certainly is a
wide array of acne body washes
to choose from. The search is
easily narrowed down when you
consider the active ingredients
involved. Most acne body washes
use only one of two different
active ingredients; salicylic
acid or benzyl peroxide. Everything
else in the wash is just for style
points.
Having used plenty of different
acne body washes, I consistently
come back to the ones that use
salicylic acid. This is somewhat
counterintuitive, because benzyl
peroxide seems to work best with
the acne face washes I’ve tried.
I’m not really sure why, but salicylic
acid just seems more effective
for body acne than anything else,
even though its only moderately
effective for facial acne. I prefer
the acne body wash that ‘Phisoderm’
makes.
So my acne prevention and treatment
routine is a benzyl peroxide acne
face wash, and a salicylic acid
acne body wash. So long as I use
these washes daily, I’m able to
reduce the acne I would be getting
by somewhere around 90%, which
is great. However, there is still
that 10% or so that gets by, and
I can’t really seem to do much
about it. The acne on my back
is especially hard to prevent;
no acne body wash gets rid of
it completely.
It seems to help a little if I
use lotions and other skin care
products in addition to an acne
body wash. I like using ones with
aloe vera and vitamin E. If I
apply lotions like these soon
after using an acne body wash,
it seems to boost the overall
anti-acne effect.
