The topic I
am about to talk about is neither pretty nor sexy but one I’m sure a good few
of us have all encountered from time to time! Yep I’m talking about backacne
aka acne of the back. Well if like I you suffer from blemishes from time to
time on your back you will appreciate the product I am about to review.
As
mentioned I often have a breakout of red painful blemishes on my back and
shoulder area which can result in me being rather self conscious and not
allowing myself to wear the tops that I really want to, well rather than
grumble I set to and researched to see if there was any products on the market
that helped with such problem and Avon came up trumps with their Clearskin Body
Wash which contains a small amount of Salicylic Acid which is a know blemish
busting ingredient.
Avon
Clearskin Body Wash has a light soft clean fragrance, is thick in consistency,
soaps and cleanses well but can be a little drying due to the Salicylic Acid so
I strongly recommend only using this on areas of the body that have blemishes
and using you regular body cleanser for other areas, fiddly I know but your
skin will thank you for it.
I have been
using this for just over a month and have found my back and shoulders to be
clearer and less prone to break outs. I find this works by drying up the
blemishes and aiding them in the speed of the healing process, it also helps to
calm the redness of said blemishes and make them less painful to touch. It is
not a miracle worker but overall it does help prevent future breakouts from
occurring and aids the recovery process of existing blemishes and is worth a
try if you too have the odd bout of backacne.
Have you
tried anything of this vain?
Omg this sounds like my dream product, I have acne on my back and I'm sick to death of it ruining my self esteem... Might sound like a silly question but how do you actually apply this because I find my back such a pain to get to

Tell me about it :( I just use it on a normal loofah and squeeze the foam over my shoulders :) you can also pop a little in a bath and soak to make things a little easier :)
DeleteI don't have this problem (at least for now) but my mother does and really self-conscious about it. I'll try to pick this one up for her.
ReplyDeleteooh thanks for reviewing this! I used to use a Lush soap when I got bacne years ago but they've discontinued that now and I've suddenly got a breakout :(
ReplyDeleteI've also tried a Clinique body spray but that's been disconned too!
got a friend that could use this! thanks for sharing.

This sounds like a brilliant product! Thanks for reviewing it!
ReplyDeleteThink i may have to try this :D sounds brill. Thanks for reviewing!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good product to try - my legs suffer so it can be awkward wearing skirts or shorts! Xo
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I get it on my face quite severely, sometimes my chest and when I was younger my back got it too - TZone do a spray that you spray onto your back, can be tricky to track down but worth a go :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds promising :) thank you!
DeleteI have the same problem, I get them on my shoulders. Need to buy some of this right away! Thanks for posting :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I am an Avon rep however, I have not ordered nor used this product. Thank you for your review.
