Hi bestie! Let’s get real for a moment — body acne can be so stubborn and frustrating.

I’ve struggled with it for years on my chest, back, and arms, and it always seemed to last forever (okay, maybe not forever, but definitely four to five long weeks!). Nothing seemed to work until I finally found a few products that made a huge difference. If you’ve been dealing with those painful, hard-to-get-rid-of breakouts, here’s what actually helped clear my body acne and fade the marks it left behind!

1. Nécessaire The Body Acne Wash

This wash is such a game changer! It works fast to dry out active pimples without making the skin feel stripped or irritated. I noticed a major difference in just a few days — the painful, inflamed spots started calming down and drying out much quicker than before. I use it regularly now, and it’s been amazing for keeping new breakouts under control.

2. Faded by Topicals

Even though it’s a small tube, this cream is incredibly effective for treating acne scars and inflammation. I apply it about once a week on my back and chest, and the results have been visible — scars have lightened, and any new pimples that pop up don’t get as large or painful. It really helps calm the skin while promoting a more even tone.

3. Slather by Topicals

This is another must-have for smooth, clear skin. It contains retinol, lactic acid, urea, and squalane — a powerful combo that gently exfoliates and renews your skin. I use it once a week (especially when I’m not using Faded) to avoid over-sensitivity, and it leaves my skin feeling softer and healthier each time. Once my skin adjusts, I plan to use it twice a week for even better results.

Dealing with body acne can take time and patience, but these products have truly helped me get my skin back under control. The key is to stay consistent, moisturize properly, and avoid over-exfoliating. Since using this routine, my breakouts heal faster, my scars fade quicker, and my skin feels much smoother overall. So bestie, if you’re struggling with body acne too, these might be exactly what you need to finally see real progress!
