Back acne

[pa187]

I’ve been using my facial cleanser Cerave gentle cleanser on my back and it has not helped clear up my back acne. Please help I’m 14

to add i do not have acne on my face

I have bacne too and the First Aid Beauty KP AHA Scrub helped a lot. Try a benzoyl peroxide gel (under $10 on Target or Amazon) too but not while using the scrub because you might get irritation

@pa187  Does your CeraVe cleanser contain salicylic acid (BHA)? CeraVe makes a couple BHA cleaners: Renewing SA Cleanser, which I’m guessing has around 0.5% salicylic acid; and Acne Control Cleanser, which has 2% salicylic acid. Try using one of those on your back. The Renewing SA Cleanser will be gentler than the Acne Control Cleanser. 

Also, if you wash your hair in the shower, do that before you wash your back. That way, your shampoo/conditioner/etc. (running down your back when you rinse it out of your hair) won’t worsen your back acne.
