Pros -clears body acne
-smells good
-soft skin
-doesn't dry out skin
Cons -if stopped use it comes back worse
Bottom line Im a teenage girl and I have acne on my upper back and I tried this and within a week my acne was gone I used it for about a month everyday then stopped and it came back worse then ever! And it's harder to get rid of the second time I've been using it for about 3 weeks straight now and it's not even half gone. So as long as you keep it up and don't stop it's a good product doesn't dry out your skin and works. So if you get this my adviece to you is don't stop and your skin will look great!

Pros None
Cons Gave me horrible painful zits that were impossible to pop.
Bottom line I have light acne on my back so decided to try this product. After using it 3 times, I noticed I was getting those horrible big red painful lumpy zits on my back, which I had never had before. My skin looked awful and they were extremely painful.
Whenever I have used anything with Salicylic acid, this happens. Guess my skin just doesn't respond well to it. I found using hydrogen peroxide on my back worked much better and was way cheaper.
Price paid $10.00

Pros -Has a very clean scent
-Scrubby (optional scrubby bead things)
-Compared to other medicated OTC treatments, it's not *that* expensive.
-They recently changed the cap design so it's easier to get out of the bottle.
-GREAT spot treatment for neck/jawline!
Cons -It only seemed to work for about the first week then acne came right back. (my back acne is extremely persistent though)
-Not exactly inexpensive, but could be far worse.
-Was only effective on shoulders (or on neck/jaw as a leave-on spot treatment)
-Was not effective on lower back, 'bum cheeks' at all (results may vary)
Bottom line At first I ran back to the store ASAP and bought 3 more bottles (as other people on here have said) but eventually it stopped controlling my back/body acne.

Stopped using it but it seems to be a great, very safe treatment to try if you're having body acne issues. Didn't seem to damage my skin at all.

Pros • Clears acne away
• Controlled acne
• Skin feels smooth
Cons • Kind of expensive
• Takes 1-3 weeks to see full results

It worked for a good period of time but recently my acne has started to come back. I don't know what's wrong, can your body adapt to salicylic acid? But yeah, depressed now.
Bottom line I'm gonna give it a couple more weeks to see if acne will go away again. But hey, at least it DID work!
