Body Wash, Acne Relief Body Wash with 2% Salicylic Acid to Eliminate Breakouts, Gently Exfoliates and Provides 24Hr Dryness Relief, 20 oz

This is the best body wash for me that I have found after trying so many. It gently exfoliates because of the salicylic acid but isn’t drying which is huge since I have mature skin and I live in the desert. Most SA washes either have too little SA or are too drying. This prevents clogged pores as well as reduces body odor. The only issue is you have to get past the fact that it doesn’t foam. It cleans better than most foaming body washes and does way more so I adjusted my expectations. I hope they never stop making it.

Context: I’m very active and workout hard 3-4 days of the week. I’ve been using this body wash consistently for the last year. Pros: Skin feels clean, soft, and the soap works especially well for areas where I’m prone to breakouts or where I have KP. I rarely suffer from breakouts now, and if I do, it’s a problem blemish and never a full breakout. I never smell like BO during workouts, even without deodorant (when I’ve forgotten to put it on). Additionally, my KP is significantly less than before my use. Cons: The smell is a little clinical - not bad, but not pleasant. I can smell it a bit during workouts but I much prefer that over BO. The soap also does not lather at all, so there’s a learning curve in using this cleanser over other soaps. Due to the bottle design, the last bit of soap usually needs to be forced out of the bottle by removing the pump which can be annoying. The bottle lasts me about one month (1-2 showers a day, 5-7 pumps per shower) which is actually pretty reasonable, but a bottle that lathers more may have better longevity. Overall value for me has been very good. I can’t find this product locally so it’s nice that it’s usually about $9-$10/bottle per month. If you suffer from KP, body acne, or persistent BO, this is a great option to try.

Dislike: does not lather. Greasy feeling and does not rinse off easily. Like: fragrance free, and leaves your skin feeling soft. This will function as a face wash for me because it has drawn a lot of dirt out of my pores. It is a large bottle but I feel like I have to use a bunch in order to wash my whole body. This cleanser is great for dry skin, but will not wash oil off well. In fact, it is super greasy and difficult to rinse off completely. (possibly by design) It does not lather at all. I understand some are sensitive to sls, but there are other natural lathering agents that don't irritate sensitive skin. Overall it's a good cleanser. It's just not a body wash for me.

I hated this product at first. It doesn't lather. The description is misleading in calling it a body wash. For its intended use, it kinda sucks. However, this is the lowest cost/oz for a 2% salicylic acid (SA) product that I've come across, so I tried to think of other ways of using it. Turns out... 1) Makes a GREAT 1st step in a double cleanse for makeup removal. Provides gentle short-contact SA exfoliation. (It can sting around eyes so use caution). 2) Makes an AMAZING leg shave cream. Same idea with gentle short-contact SA exfoliation. 3) Makes a TERRIFIC foot mask. Same idea. For how well this product works for these unintended uses, at such a low price point for 2% SA, I give it 5 stars.

I have been dealing with my warm weather shoulder/chest/back acne and bought this because I hate having this issue. Is it working? Not really, it’s been two weeks and has hardly changed the acne that’s there. May have slowed progression of new acne SOME. Does it foam? Absolutely not. It’s like rubbing lotion on your body. Hard to use a net rag because it doesn’t spread via rag well due to lack of foam. Does it smell? It’s fragrance free.

This cleanser is for sensitive, acne prone skin; fragrances and "lathery" chemicals can cause irritation and breakouts, which is why this cleanser doesn't have any. If it's smells medicinal, that's because it literally is(for acne), lol, but I'll take that over the grapefruit scents that smell like sour mop water. It's medicated to fight acne while still being gentle on the skin, but I don't smell much of anything with this. If you can tolerate essential oils, a couple drops of lavender and tea tree oil in this cleanser smell wonderful and they also have antibacterial properties so they can also help fight acne as well. As for the lather(or lack of), I like that it feels like a lotion instead and I mostly use this as an in-shower/bath mask for my face and body. Just slather it on(doesn't take a lot either), let sit for a couple minutes and rinse off. I then wash from the neck down with my favorite Dove Go body wash(lavender and chamomile). Then after the shower/bath, I use a thin layer of a peroxide cream on affected areas and my skin is looking and feeling great. For $10 this is a great value. If I need a moisturizer for face and body, CeraVe Lightweight lotion works great for that. Edit about a month or two later: My skin is looking great, much better than it did before I found this!

this stuff is like body moisturizer cream vs actual body wash of any kind. actually had to check bottle few time sure had not made mistake be sure was not using moisturizer vs body wash. but nope it said on front in big print for acne relief body wash for acne prone skin. would say unless you super sensitive dry skin do not even consider this product. literally shea butter is second ingredient on list of ingredient - it wont even foam up , it near impossible rinse off , had actually use effaclar medicated facial cleanser with 2% salicylic acid just to get it off me. not sure what part of this is body wash even remotely close being cleanser but this stuff is worst thing you could do to your skin if you have acne. it may day #1 doctor recommended on it but by what doctor are they paid to say that would venture guess yes but hey maybe am wrong? but this could literally pass for moisturizer/ sunscreen if you didnt know was supposed be body wash. have combination skin that is made oily from testosterone treatment - honestly just plain old old spice body wash is better than this garbage. noticed cetaphil market to very certain customer - those who are either new to acne treatment trust the product packaging claim + people that have extremely sensitive skin that will dry out if just mention skin cleanser to them. this is not body wash - even if didnt have acne you most definitely would after using this product. unless you want use moisturizer to try wash with (which is not fun believe me) would just suggest trying another brand any other brand would be better. this was awful experience for me all way around. the only saving grace can think of was it was relatively cheap mistake make + guess will make ok shower curtain holder. definitely would not recommend this to anyone - honestly having tried other cetaphil product think their entire line is for people without acne just have dry sensitive skin - but even then could see this giving people acne who if just stuck normal body wash wouldnt have acne. not sure what good the 2% salicylic acid can possibly do with so many moisturizer at front of the ingredient list - shea butter being #2 on ingredient - for acne prone body wash just seem absurd to me. course can read for your self - just look at ingredient list see all moisturizer there. it was just awful atleast for me. maybe target audience is made for sensitive dry skin that need ton of moisturizer. maybe that who it supposed be for but if that is the case it should be labeled that way. otherwise anyone with normal to oily skin is going have major issues - truly think even if had super dry skin would have issue trying rinse it off + most likely would cause more issue with acne after using few time. buyer beware you have been warned.

As someone who's battled acne on my chest and back for years, I've tried countless body washes claiming to help, often with disappointing results or harsh side effects. This Cetaphil Body Wash has been a game-changer in my skincare routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results! First off, the generous bottle size is fantastic; you get a lot of product, which means it lasts a long while, making it an excellent value. But beyond the quantity, it's the quality. Within just a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed a significant reduction in breakouts on my chest and back. My skin started to look much clearer and felt noticeably smoother. What sets this body wash apart for me is its gentleness. Most acne treatments tend to be drying or irritating, especially on sensitive skin. Because this felt so mild on my body, I decided to take a chance and try it on my face, and I'm so glad I did! It didn't strip my skin or leave it feeling tight and dry at all. Instead, it helped calm existing breakouts and prevent new ones, resulting in a much clearer and healthier-looking complexion overall. No Residue: It rinses off cleanly, leaving no film or residue behind. Subtle Scent: The scent is light and fresh, barely noticeable, which is perfect if you're sensitive to strong fragrances. If you're struggling with body acne, facial breakouts, or simply looking for a reliable and gentle cleanser to maintain clear skin, I highly recommend trying this Cetaphil Body Wash. It's become a staple in my routine.

Hace bien su función, me gustó que no reseca, por lo regular los limpiadores con acido salicilico dejan la piel muy reseca y tirante y este no lo hace. Tiene buena textura y rinde muy bien, no me causó ninguna reacción desfavorable o alergia. Bueno para casos leves, o evitar brotes en la espalda (por sudor, gimnasio, productos de cabello, etc) para casos severos supongo no será el mismo efecto.

quantity is nice, i don’t have the problem that everyone is complaining about, it’s not hard to keep track where the product is on. make sure to keep it on for 5 minutes before washing. still relatively new to it only two weeks but still noticeable skin smoothness.

Excellent product
