Default Body acne- what are you using?

Along with this lovely acne on my face these days- my neck and chest have also been breaking out!! Anyone have any products that have worked well for them?
Thanks cysters!

I have been using this Clay mask by Clinque for my chest, works great. My BF has been giving me back massages with alcohol which clears up my back.

For my chest and back, I use the Saint Ives Apricot Scrub. They have it in gentle, too. Exfoliates and gets all the gunk out.

I have the same problem... will try some of these things... I used to use a strong anti-acne facewash on my chest and shoulders when in the shower... I think most products are similar whether specifically labled for body or not...

I use straight rubbing alchol on my chest, neck and back. May not be the most healthy thing for your skin, but it seems to help.

Hi,
Had a terrible break out on my chest over the summer(unusual for me,its usually my face) wouldn't clear no matter what I tried. My doctor prescribed Zineryt lotion. Cleared it up really well.

I use Oxy pimple cream, I put it on at night and does a pretty good job of clearing it up.

My roommate has a problem with this too and she uses Oxy shower gel and said it has really helped prevent more breakouts.

You should also be able to use Spectro or Cetaphil, the bottles say you can use it for the entire body.

I use tea tree oil on my face pimples. I pop them if they need to be and then put it on, or just put it on over it. They are usually gone the next morning, or extremely shrunk!!!

i'm lucky and havent really suffered with acne on my body, but i have used seaweed masks for my facial acne and apparently they're supposed to be good for clearing body acne as well, go to : www.aalgo.com - it might be worth a try?! they also do a money back guarantee if it doesn't work! but i was happy with the improvements i had with my facial acne.
good luck

I use Proactiv for my body acne and it works wonders. Especially since my skin is REALLY REALLY oily. I haven't had any body acne since starting Proactiv which got rid of all of them in like 2 days. Hope that helps!
