Is it better in the winter than summer? Do you shower 2x a day? None of those things gave any improvement? How about switching to a sulfate-free shampoo or try head and shoulders? And make sure you wash your body after you wash your hair. If that's an area you sweat the most then you could try applying a powder during the day to absorb oil/sweat. Could also try a sulfur soap. I really wouldn't take accutane for mild bacne, yes it's annoying to you but not worth the side effects of accutane.

Hey, thanks for your response.

It makes no difference between summer or winter - I live in the UK so we don't get much sun! (

Shower in the evening unless I exercise in the morning & already use H&S

None of the products I've used has given any noticeable improvement - it's certainly mild but very stubborn and persistent.

I'll certainly look into the soap & powder - thanks for the advice

I know youve tried panoxyl wash but its worth trying a leave-on BP product, I got my back acne clear using Quinoderm (its too strong for my face but my back can take it). And I had pretty severe back acne. Takes a couple of months to work but it made such a difference for me.

Also, dont use hair conditioner - even if you try really hard not to its nearly impossible not to get a trace amount on your body.

Thanks XXYY - are you using the Quinoderm face wash on your back? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quinoderm-2808384-Face-Wash-150ml/dp/B000KHPG7K/
