Back Acne: Clear Bacne and Chest Acne in 6 Weeks
Bacne is more stubborn than facial acne: thicker skin, larger follicles, constant sweat and friction from clothes. Because the skin is thicker you can use stronger actives – done right, six weeks shows a clearly cleaner back.

-14%Amazon❓ FAQ
Does back acne go away on its own?
Rarely. Untreated, it leaves dark marks and raised scars that heal more slowly than on the face.
Is my conditioner causing bacne?
For many people, yes: silicones and oils cling to the back. Wash and rinse hair first, tie it up, then wash your body.
Can I use my face acne cream on my back?
Yes, but it's expensive over a large area. Body washes and sprays are cheaper and stronger, which suits thicker back skin.
