There are many body acne treatments out there that are proven to work, so that’s some good news! But each case of body acne is unique so what works for one person might not work for you..

There are two different groups which require different treatments; Light to Moderate cases and Moderate to Severe cases.

For lighter cases, gently wash the skin, and let it air dry; then apply a 10% alpha hydroxy acid to get rid of body acne.

To get the area ready for the hydroxy acid, you’ll want to gently cleanse the skin to remove all the oils on the surface. Use a facial cleanser to do this.

10% Alpha Hydroxy acid with licochalcone is the best body acne treatment. The hydroxy acid will exfoliate and bring new skin cells to the surface, while the licochalcone soothes your skin. This combo will usually clear up body acne pretty quickly!

For severe cases; Gently wash the skin, Apply 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. Then apply the 10% alpha hydroxy acid. This will bring most moderate to severe cases of body acne under control.

Again with more severe body acne cases, a gentle facial cleanser is best to first remove surface oils from your skin. This helps keep irritation to a minimum! This is very important!

Use as much 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide as needed, its best to use a lot. Benzoyl Peroxide will kill all the bacteria that cause body acne.

Next use the 10% alpha hydroxy acid to gently exfoliate your skin. If you can find a 10% alpha hydroxy acid with licochalcone, this is better but will work either way. Licochalcone is a liquorice extract that is especially good for calming acne-prone skin.

For severe and uncontrollable cases, the acne body treatment, Accutane, might be needed. Visit my site to find out which body acne treatments are working for others.
