I have personally struggled with body acne for most of my life - at least since I was 14 or so.  And I have been through every type of product imaginable.  I have figured out both on my own and through trial and error what body acne treatments work, and which ones don't.

For mild to moderate cases of body acne or body acne that is hormone related - ladies I know you know what I mean - there are two main ingredients that really work.  You can either get salicylic body acne products or you can get benzoyl peroxide based products.  They both work pretty well.

The product pictured below is by Murad (a leader in pimple treatments) and is a good example of a treatment with salicylic acid.   One of the reasons that I like this product is because it is in a spray form.  That makes it easy to use right after you shower, and I have found that using a salicylic treatment  is one of the most effective acne treatments out there.  This  to product has a 360 degree spray nozzle which makes it easy to apply to your back.  You can expect to see significant clearing from this product in about a week.

For daily treatment, I prefer salicylic products to benzoyl peroxide ones as they are gentle to your skin and more effective.

Is there any way to cure body acne?

One of the only body acne treatments that is effective permanantly is accutane.  If you decide to go this route it is a decision that you should not take lightly, as it has a lot of side effects.  Accutane is a prescription drug that is prescribed by a dermatologist.  It should only be used in the case of severe acne.   But with that being said nothing is as effective as this drug in treating very severe acne cases.   If you are interested in Accutane check with your dermatologist for details.

How to know what body acne treatments to use.

If you have severe acne make sure you check with your dermatologist.  Ask about Accutane and about other options.  For mild to moderate acne some of the best acne products are available over the counter.  Look for the active ingrediant sallicylic acid to know that you are getting a quality product.

What Body Acne Treatments Are Effective? is from End Body Acne

Did you know that 75% of people who have facial acne also have body acne & 95% of those are afraid to show their skin in public?

Are you one of those 95%? 

Guys do you cringe at the thought of taking your shirt off in public? 

Ladies do always wear a shirt over your swimsuit because you are embarrassed about your skin?

Do you hate the acne on your back, chest, and arms?

You are not alone. There is hope to cure body acne & to have the clear, beautiful, touchable skin you want.

Here are my 3 steps to cure body acne that really work.

1. Understand body acne.

Body acne happens when the pores on your body become clogged with infectious bacteria, causing an acne nodule to form. 

As I am sure you have noticed acne on your body can often be much deeper and cyst like than acne on your face.  The reason for this is because the pores on your body are much larger and more active than the ones on your face, and having them covered up all the time doesn't really help.

Because of this the products you use on your face don't really work to fix body acne.   You need a product specifically formulated to cure body acne.

2. Know what ingredients work.

There are three main ingredients that work to cure any type of acne, including body acne.   The first ingredient is Benzoyl Peroxide.  This is effective, but often leads to very dry skin for many people. Personally, I'd stay away from this one.

The second ingrediant is Salicylic Acid.  Salicylic Acid is a product that exfoliates and opens up your pores so that bacteria can't get into them.  It also has the added benefit of softening the skin.

The third indgrediant to look for is Citric Acid.  Citric Acid works a lot like Salicylic Acid, and when the two are combined they pack a powerful one two puch to really knock out acne, without killing your skin in the process.

3.  Decide on a product.

No matter how much you wish it would just disapear on it's own, your body acne is not too likely to just go away.  You need to use an effective product to cure body acne.

I have done a lot of research on this subject, and to tell you the truth there are very few products out there that are specific body acne treatments, and even fewer that I would feel comfortable recommend to my readers.  But I did find one.

To cure body acne I recommend Zenmed's Body Acne Combo, because it works.  It contains the ingredients that will clear your acne, in enough concentration to work on body acne. The other thing that I really like about Zenmed's Body Acne Combo is that it won't dry your skin out, in fact it just leaves it healthier than before.

And just so you know Zenmed's Body Acne Combo comes with a generous 60 day money back guarantee.  So you have nothing to lose but your acne.

I found this great article on body acne cures.  The info is really good.  I hope you enjoy it.

Are you suffering from Body acne? or Zits below the neckline? Don’t worry. You are not alone! Lot’s of teen get body acne. It is common in the winter months, when you are wearing piles of heavy clothing.

Sweat can clog skin pores and lead to breakouts all over. Other things that can cause body acne are tight fitting clothing ( It traps sweat against the skin, leading to clogged pores and blemishes) stress and hormones. Body acne commonly pops up on the chest and back.

To zap body acne and prevent it from coming back, you can wash your body daily with a salicylic acid based cleanser. Look for this ingredient on product labels.

For the best body acne cleanser click here.

Shower daily and be sure to shower as soon as possible anytime you have been sweating – such as after playing sports, working outside or just being in the sun. After your shower, you can follow up by a body moisturizer that contains Alfa Hydroxy acid. This will exfoliate skin and help prevent breakouts, without drying skin out.

At Nighttime you can treat body acne just like facial acne, by applying an acne zapping gel or cream at the effected parts.

If your body acne is particularly bad and wont respond to this treatment after about a month, you will probably need to see a dermatologist.

If you've been suffering with body acne here is a solution that has worked for many.  But it is only for people who are really serious about clearing their body acne once and for all
