Reddit reviews Phisoderm Anti-Blemish Body Wash, 10-Ounce

You can absolutely use facial products on your back. Have you tried using a body cleanser with salicylic acid? Phisoderm makes one - link here - that I've tried myself and also tried out on my husband. It keeps acne at bay and heals up whiteheads as well.

I have used CoxRx AHA once or twice when I got unfortunate pimples on my chest from sweating while working out in the yard. Cleared it right up.

Also, to the comment about washing hair. I'd recommend washing and conditioning your hair and then washing your back. Some hair products, especially the conditioner, can clog your pores if left on your skin.

I'd suggest an acne fighting body wash like this one:

and possibly a lotion with some bha like this:

Hey, I am looking to start a skin care regime but i have little to no knowledge on pretty much everything. so i have a lot of questions, i apologize if this isnt the right place but hopefully im not breaking any rules. as some background I am a 23 year old guy, tend to have pretty oily skin, and i have some issues with acne and back acne. I was hoping for some feedback about what i plan on starting.

first off I am thinking of using a combination of these things:
facial cleanser and body cleanser while showering,

than i would also suppliment with:

a facial cleanser, exfoliator, and moisturizer at night.
I got most of these items from beginner guide on this sub, but what i was wondering is if any of these products are redundant or unneeded if my goal is for a simple and relatively cheap routine? Additionally i was wondering if anyone could roughly predict how long these volumes would last?
Any help would be really appreciated!! Thank you!!

Hey man! I used Phisoderm's Anti-Blemish Body Wash, about two bottles' worth until I figured that the back acne seemed to be largely under control. I declared it a safe zone and switched back to normal body washes. I also used Clearasil's Ultra Acne Pads to clean up my back acne, mostly around my shoulder blades, every night before I went to bed.

It also helps that I never wear the same shirt twice without washing it first. If I'd worn a shirt all day, I take it off and change it for a new one before bedtime. Wash or change your bath towel and pillowcases every time you do laundry, which for me was about once a week. And don't forget to change your bedsheets every so often.

This helped me a lot! I still have some acne on my face and one or two on my back, but I have it under control now. Just my advice. Good luck!

I have cystic acne all over my face and shoulders and chest (fyi I'm female, is that ok?)

I have to take a pill that balances my hormones but that's a pretty big move for me. Salcylic Acid (aka old school aspirin) is what helps me clear and dry out pimples/ones starting to come up. I use this for my face Phisoderm That's for my face.

Now for my body, I use the poof thingies with this: Body Wash This helps.

And yes, water like all get out, less processed food if possible, and see if a doctor could prescribe you clindamycin phosphate topical gel. You spread that over your face/shoulders/whatever (thinly) and it gets absorbed in the skin. It's an antibiotic. What's even better is that this one stays in the skin, so it's not just kill the stuff on the top, it's kill stuff on the top and if things below it are starting, well, there you go.
But that's prescribed only. Go see your doctor.

Change sheets often but PILLOWCASES DAILY. If you're having a horrid nasty-ass huge breakout, try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC9ladgGHto . Don't do it more than once a month - you will dry your skin out like heck.
Let us know!
