Promising review: "Wow! I bought this for body acne. The day I got it, I put it on about 10 minutes after my shower, and sure enough, my body acne was 90% gone the next morning. I’m not exaggerating. I even put it on what I thought was an acne scar that I’ve had for about a year now, and that went away too!" —Emily

Promising reviews: "Been using these products for about three years. Amazing! This is by far the number one. It got rid of my body acne and dark spots all over my body. This is an amazing product. I am obsessed." —Zaida Cruz

"I use this once a week on my entire body, and it has improved my dark spots, acne, and overall tone of my skin! Glowing and I love it!!" —Hannah

Promising review: "First photo is the before [above]. The second photo is one week after using the spray about once or twice a day. I have struggled with back acne for years. Buying all kinds of back scrubbers, exfoliating scrubs, acne wash, and creams. Nothing helped my hormonal acne except this. Didn’t make my skin worse before it gets better, as some acne products do. It cleared up in one week. The smell does stink, but I couldn't care less 'cause the product is that AMAZING. 🤩  Definitely buying more. Also works for chicken skin and ingrown hairs! I have super-sensitive skin and suffer from keratosis pilaris. I also have always suffered from horrible, itchy ingrown hairs after shaving on my bikini line and upper legs. I’ve been at war with my skin for most of my life. Buying so many products. Now I only have to buy THIS ONE PRODUCT!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I will always keep this product stocked in my home." —Christinaamber

Promising review: "My skin is sensitive, and it doesn’t break out from this body wash. I get fungal acne and can’t use any coconut-derived ingredients, really. Definitely fragrance-free, which is the best for sensitive skin. If you know, you know. A little can go a long way, so don’t pour a lot on your towel. Also, pair this with an antibacterial soap or exfoliant since this is such a simple body wash." —Kamiko

Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in scented and fragrance-free).

Promising review: "I bought the unscented version and loved it! Skin feels luxuriously silky and squeaky clean! My body acne disappeared after just a few washes with this stuff, and I have sensitive skin! My only complaint is that it doesn’t suds up as much as I’d like, so I find that I use a lot of it per shower, and this stuff is pretty expensive to use like that. It really does completely eliminate body odor, though, without irritating my skin." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven options).

Promising review: "I use this for my back and shoulders, and it works just as a good salicylic acid product should! The little beads are perfect for scrubbing and exfoliating the skin, and the pink grapefruit scent smells wicked awesome. The bottle itself is made of high-quality material that doesn't break if you accidentally drop it in the shower, which is very nice, and the hole that the bodywash comes out of is very small, so you don't have to worry about squeezing too much out and wasting it. All around, it's a perfect body wash for acne, and the price makes it absolutely unbeatable!" —Austin B.

"I had really bad body acne on my arms, chest, shoulders, and back, and this cleared it right up. If I get a flare-up and I use it, after a day, it’s gone. I would definitely recommend it. It’s my third time repurchasing." —Dontevah Bennett

Promising reviews: "When I started using this after waxing, I had a lot of unwanted hair on my face due to PCOS. Everything I would wax or pluck would cause an acne breakout, which turned out to be ingrown hairs. This product has completely changed the game for me. No more breakouts from ingrown hairs after waxing." —Crystal Sotelo

"Let me start by saying my teenage daughter has the most sensitive skin. She constantly deals with razor burn or breakouts on her most intimate areas. We have tried everything: no-shave shaving creams, hair removers, razors; if it’s out there, we have tried it. But this product has been a blessing. After a few uses, you could begin to see the difference. Her skin no longer broke out after shaving, and if it did, it was very minimal compared to before. If you have a problem with razor burn, you want to try this." —Niki

These are even machine washable, so they will last several uses!

UJFQBH is a small business specializing in African net sponges.

Promising reviews: "I’ve been reading all about using an African net sponge. I have really bad back acne, and I’ve been using it for a week, and it’s really helping clear it up. I’m pairing it up with an acne foaming wash, but this really gets into all those spots that are really hard to reach. I just wish it were slightly longer, but besides that, I love it." —Rebecca Andrews

"My husband left for a few weeks for work. While he was gone, I used this a few times a week. When he returned, he couldn’t believe how soft my skin was! He couldn’t keep his hands off of me ;-). This also completely got rid of any ingrowns I used to get, as well as any acne on my back/butt. Also, I am starting to notice some of my dark marks fading, but of course, that is gonna take some time to be completely gone." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ for a set of three (available in 32 color combinations and sets of two, three, and four).

Promising review: "I get back acne, but it's also extremely dry, itchy, and my skin is very sensitive. This cream is amazing! It has reduced my back acne significantly while also being incredibly moisturizing. It also makes my skin so soft! Five stars!" —RosaRoe

Promising review: "This was a HUGE surprise I wasn't sure how this would work but it really did I had little rolled up skin bits as soon as I started using it in the shower after washing and before shaving my skin has never been softer and it helped my arm acne and back acne because it got rid of so much dead skin, I was looking for a good exfoliation for pre-self-tanning and this did the job and it also gets leftover tan off. It's scratchy but doesn't hurt and leaves me so dang soft." —Shane Herring

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This is my second bottle, but the progress is amazing. One of my arms has pretty much lost all its KP. I also use this for my upper back for previous acne scarring, and it works wonders to smooth out my skin! Really recommend trying!" —Tory

Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three sizes).

Promising reviews: "I always struggled with acne on my back and sometimes on my chest. After I found this body wash, my skin changed for GOOD!!! It's acne-free and very soft. I don't need to use any other exfoliant. Note: In winter, I used extra lotion after this body wash (CeraVe as well) because my skin tends to dry a lot." —Noe8890

Promising review: "Not posting pics because that would be odd, and also, I don’t normally write reviews, but I went on here needing people to know this stuff works! I don’t even use it like directed 'cause I’m too busy, but my butt has gone from ‘mehhh’ to ‘damnnn’ with this cream within three weeks! I’ve struggled legit all my life, and I have found the miracle cream! 😘🍑" —Abigail

Promising review: "This stuff works like magic. I’m 33, and I’ve dealt with bad back acne since I was a teenager. After one week of using this, my back is night and day different. Just remember to not wash it off immediately. Let it sit on your skin for about two minutes for it to work. —Filburt_Turtle

Get it from Amazon for $10.67 (available in two sizes). 

Promising reviews: "I was skeptical about this, butt it really works!! My tushy was firmer and softer after using these for 10 mins! Highly recommend to anyone who wants a juicy booty!" —Suz

"I haven’t had a product work this well so quickly in a long time. Ya girl has acne. Everywhere. It’s terrible, very traumatizing. I used this butt sheet mask yesterday. Today? My ass looks GREAT. I’m buying four more." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in four types).

Promising review: "I'm a fan of this toner pad! I have been using this product to help clear up the skin on my back. On nights that I don't shower, I quickly cleanse my back with these pads and then use a lightweight moisturizer after. I like them so much I am buying some for my bestie!" —Sydney Marts

Promising review: "I have struggled with butt acne for as long as I can remember. It’s something that has made me feel so insecure for so long. I decided to give this product a shot since nothing else was working for my acne. Immediately after the first application, I noticed how soft it made my skin feel. In combination with proper exfoliation and a gentle soap, this product has cleared up my acne! I still get an occasional bump now and then, but the irritating breakouts I used to suffer with are finally gone. I am starting to feel more confident in myself. I personally feel that it is worth every penny. I was skeptical of this product at first, as I’m sure most are, but I’m so thankful I took the step to purchase it." —Anonymous

Promising review: "I’m a late 30s male, prone to bacne when I work out, and I’ve been doing TRT (testosterone shots) since March ‘24. Initially had more bacne as a result. Acne backwash only helped a little… seemed hopeless. Ordered this spray and it’s been down 95%, no joke, basically doesn’t exist. Definitely the cherry on top to use for successful results. Ordering more!" —Bill Baker

Promising reviews: "This has helped my back acne sooo much, like instantly, and somehow lightened my underarms. I have very sensitive skin and am prone to bacterial infections as well, and this has just been so nice. Amazing!" —Mnmtz

"I’ve been using the Byoma blemish body wash for just a few days, and I’m already seeing amazing results. My back acne has noticeably improved, with less inflammation and almost no itchiness. Such a gentle but effective formula —definitely a new staple in my routine!" —Kcr

Promising reviews: "I feel like I rarely write reviews, but I had to for this stuff. I work out, eat healthy, and do allllll of the things to try and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Nothing ever helps! Finally, I started dry brushing every day and using this, and it has made an INCREDIBLE difference in just a few days. My skin is so incredibly soft, and noticeably smoother — to the touch, and also the appearance. I’ve never used anything that actually seemed to work, but this stuff really does. It also smells SO good! I don’t even need any kind of perfume anymore, so that’s how I justify the cost. A little goes a long way! I honestly don’t think I can live without this stuff now. It’s a game changer!" —Kari N

"I absolutely love this stuff! I have very dry and sensitive skin, and I use it on my whole body. It moisturizes very well without leaving any weird sticky or greasy feeling, and doesn't make my skin react with breakouts like with most lotions. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and clean. No thick residue feeling. And the smell is heavenly! It's like a tropical vacation. The scent lasts on your skin without being overwhelming. The only thing I don't love about it is the packaging. It's high quality, cute, and compact, but I'd prefer a pump bottle over a tub personally. That's the only thing I could imagine to improve it. I definitely recommend this product!" —Cameo

Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in four sizes). 

Promising reviews: "I frequently have breakouts on my butt, and this is the magic soap I was looking for!!! Thank you for creating a wonderful product!" —Lisa Miller

"I have little bumps on the back of one of my thighs, and noticed a little bit of breakout happening on my chest after having an augmentation done. I’ve been using this soap for a little over a month, and I love it. It makes your skin feel really clean, and it’s super exfoliating. Will be buying again." —Marissa Tokanel

Promising review: "I used Frank for the first time 10 years ago, it helped my back acne, cellulitis on my thighs, and ingrown hairs. It softens my skin by 167%, hydrates, and smells good. 💕 Just really make sure you scrub and scrub, massage a lot without overdoing it! And you’ll see what I mean. 🫶🏻" —Tatiana

Promising review: "These work great for larger patches of acne. They go on well, stay on, and don't irritate the skin. Great for forehead, chest, or back acne." —Nicole Doerner

Promising reviews: "I have struggled with back acne and on my shoulders/chest. My friend recommended this to me, so I went ahead and ordered it. Best decision ever! Not only does it leave my skin super smooth and soft, but it has also already started to clear my acne and reduce the redness! I love the thickness of the lather, and it’s truly nonscented. I normally don’t leave reviews, however, I had to!" —Eva

"I've been using it consistently for a week, and I'm already noticing my body acne is going down. This stuff is it. Also, it's almost scentless and doesn't stink! Slay Naturium!" —Kim V.

Promising review: "I love this product. Don’t expect a massive change if you haven’t been using it very long! But it works!!! Just remember, consistency and time are key, and you will find it lightens dark areas of your body! Overall, I will likely be using this product for years to come." —KR

Promising review: "I love these bars, they feel good on the skin and cause no irritation at all. It does what it says it’s supposed to do: cleanses, moisturizes, and brightens. The lather is great, and as far as the smell, it is really subtle and makes using them feel like a spa experience. Overall, I’d easily buy these Faded bars again because my skin loves them. My skin was dry, and I often had breakouts of back acne, especially on my shoulders. It left hyperpigmentation spots on my brown melanin skin. These bars helped a lot. Using the bars nightly helped my skin return to a better state and feel smoother and more radiant." —Chance

Promising reviews: "I have pretty sensitive skin, and am prone to lots of bumps/body acne/etc, so I wanted something exfoliating but gentle. Those loofah scrubs are sometimes too rough (and gross me out a little), and washcloths have to be laundered too often. This seems to work really well so far! Doesn't get that mildewy/old water smell that an old washcloth or loofah gets, and exfoliates nicely but gently. It's easy to hold and creates a surprisingly nice lather!" —Nicole Cannon

"It was surprisingly amazing! I struggle with body acne, so I’ve been trying to find something to help me get a deep clean that's good for my skin. I must admit, the first couple of times I used it, it felt like it wasn’t getting me as clean as a loofa would, but it just took some practice to get used to it. I love it!" —Judith Mendoza
