This has been very helpful. I have been very successful doing just this. Hope this helps others.
Twice a week Dan's Reg (BP+AHA+moisturizer)
About 4 days a week, gold bond powder
Every other day I use head and shoulders on back in shower(every other day because more than that can irritate your back)
everyday Neutrogema body clear/body wash in shower
-------------------------
doing this I have went from moderate/severe bacne to minor/totally clear. I'm quite happy about this.
Oh ya and drink tons of water
Guys, the powder has talc in it. There has been a lot of talk about talc being a possible carcinogen, especially when inhaled.
Please take a look at the ingredients of what you use! Avoid anything that has BHA, BHT, talc and parabens (they clog pores).

I support this method 110%.
I used this when I was deployed to keep my skin from getting real bad. This WORKS!
Its working for me right now.
FYI, it doesnt have to be GOLD BOND. There are store brands that have the same ingredients as Gold Bond Medicated for half the price.

what stores carry it?
and does ANYONE have an idea about the menthol being an irritant?
cause i'm going to try to use it to help the folliculitis caused by sweat and irritation, and im imagining a nightmare where this causes much more horrible irritation, pain, and papules/postules
ugh, knock on wood
i hope that would happen
i don't think i could take that right about now

and it seems ridiculous that something sold as an antiirritant would have such an irritating ingredient in it
At first, I used this product while using h&s as a body wash. It did clear up a lot of my bacne, but I wanted something a little better because I wasn't achieving the amazing results that other people were. So I started washing my back with neutrogena stress control power cream body wash in addition (or something along those lines. its a long name.) and all I have to say is WOW. I don't even use h&s anymore. (I just found out that the first three ingredients are highly comedogenic, and I think it may have even been aggravating the condition.) I now have three active zits and basically all of my red marks are gone. I just got back from a summer vacation of backless dresses and tank tops. I am insanely happy.
I bought this a while ago and I love it! I also use the lotionoh! I apply the lotion to my face and it feels much better than Olay Complete.
the lotion heals up my scabs nicely too making my face real smooth and even ^^ <3 it <3 it!
which lotion do you use? Is it the extra strength triple action body lotion? I bought a bottle of that, but I'm not sure if I should use it because it is for the body. I checked for comedogenic ingredients and I didn't find any, but I was just wondering if you used this or something else.
hmm do you think it would work it i first put AHA on my back than the gold bond powder?
Can anybody answer this question? I'd like to try the Gold Bond body powder, however I also use AHA on my back. Could I put AHA on my back, let it dry, and the apply the Gold Bond powder?
which of this products do you recommend?
GOLD BOND MEDICATED BODY POWDER EXTRA STRENGTH
Gold Bond Medicated Body Powder
GOLD BOND ULTIMATE COMFORT BODY POWDER with ALOE
I just started Gold Bond Medicated body powder extra strength since i have really bad chest and back acne..on 2nd day..no results so far..hopefully i'll see results on this
I really wanna try this but I'm kind of apprehensive after some google searches pointed out that there's a possible link between talc powder and cancer?? It seems to be that the consumer brand of talc is as of now unknown in it's safety but there's a lot of doctors that disagree with using it damn it looked so good too...
