AHA/BHA Body Wash

Body wash is a liquid cleanser designed specifically for cleaning the body, offering more than just basic cleansing. Our AHA/BHA Body Wash removes dirt and impurities and gently exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores and promotes smoother, clearer skin. It effectively addresses concerns like body acne, back acne, discoloration, strawberry skin (keratosis pilaris), and rough patches, making it an essential part of your daily skincare routine. With ingredients like lactic acid and salicylic acid, this body wash helps maintain your skin's natural moisture while providing deep cleansing for all skin types.

The primary difference between body wash and soap lies in their formulation and pH levels. Soaps are typically solid bars with a higher, more alkaline pH, which can disrupt the skin's natural barrier and lead to dryness. In contrast, body washes like our AHA/BHA Body Wash are liquid cleansers with a pH balanced closer to that of human skin, making them gentler and more hydrating. Body washes also often contain additional ingredients, such as exfoliants and moisturizers, to target specific skin concerns, providing a more comprehensive skincare solution compared to traditional soap.

Using a body wash, especially one formulated with AHA/BHA like ours, offers multiple benefits. It provides gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, unclogs pores to prevent body acne and back acne, and helps even out skin tone and texture. Additionally, body washes are generally more hydrating than traditional soaps, thanks to ingredients like glycerin that help retain moisture. Our AHA/BHA Body Wash is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, making it an ideal choice for maintaining smooth, clear, and healthy skin.

For best results, our AHA/BHA Body Wash should be used daily as part of your shower routine. Consistent use helps in the regular removal of dead skin cells, prevents acne, and keeps your skin smooth and healthy. After cleansing, it's recommended to follow up with a body lotion, such as our Niacinamide Body Lotion, to lock in moisture and further enhance skin health.

To get rid of back acne, use a gentle body wash with salicylic acid daily. This helps unclog pores, reduce oil buildup, and prevent breakouts. Avoid scrubbing, as it can worsen inflammation. Wear clean, breathable clothing and shower after sweating. Always follow with a non-comedogenic, lightweight moisturizer to maintain skin barrier health. Consistency is key — visible improvement can take 4–6 weeks with the right products.

Back acne (also called bacne) is caused by clogged pores due to excess oil, dead skin cells, sweat, and friction from clothing or backpacks. Hormonal changes, high humidity, and using pore-clogging body products can also contribute. The upper back has more oil glands, making it more prone to breakouts — especially if proper cleansing and exfoliation are neglected.

Strawberry legs are caused by clogged pores, ingrown hairs, or keratosis pilaris. To treat them, use a body wash with chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid and lactic acid daily. These ingredients help dissolve buildup, reduce bumps, and smooth the skin. Avoid harsh scrubbing and dry shaving. Instead, moisturize daily with a niacinamide-rich body lotion to support skin texture and prevent further clogging.
