Cleared my stubborn back acne

i don’t usually write reviews for products but this body wash is the best for stubborn back acne!!! i just finished my first bottle and repurchased a new one because after years of trying new products and still seeing no results this wash has had my skin the clearest it’s been in years. Of course everyone’s skin is different but for the price it’s worth a shot!!!
Where has this been?!

I have repurchased this body wash several times since last summer. It’s been my go to body wash but yesterday I took a shower and I noticed my body wash had a pink red tint to it. When I opened it, I was horrified to see what looked like blood in the pump. The scent had turned a little sour too. I have never had this happened with this body wash before. Usually I purchase it much sooner but I have been using less and going back and forth between another body wash. Not sure if it went bad/expired because I didn’t finish it sooner. It’s a great acne body wash but I was little horrified when it turned blood red.
THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!

This is the first product that has cleared my acne on my body and also makes my skin feel super soft and hydrated without breaking me out! Love this product so much and will definitely be repurchasing!

I’ve been purchasing the Dove acne body wash ever since they first released the product. I’ve had some mild body acne and the wash has always helped calm my skin plus it has a nice soft smell and is also moisturizing. All that said, this is the first time I’ve EVER had this happen! I bought 2 bottles from Target on January 26, 2025. I opened one of the brand new bottles sometime in early February after the one I was using at that time ran out. It’s only been about a month of use and tonight I noticed some red “stuff” coming out of the bottle top. I opened the cap and the pump tube is dark red, it almost looks like blood! I’ve never seen this before! I did a quick Google search and the AI answer says it possibly spoiled and should be thrown away immediately. I’m writing this review to share my experience with anyone who might encounter this or has experienced this and I can validate your claim. I’ve included photos of both the “spoiled” bottle and my other UNOPENED bottle that I bought the same day. I’m giving this review 3 stars because I still want to like the product, but now I’m a bit uneasy about it..

I didn't see much of a difference. I have been using this body wash since December. I use it with a silicon body scrubber. It does lather nicely, and the scent is okay. As for the acne on my body, it didn't get worse or better.

I like this it’s gentle on the skin especially preteens/teens who are starting to get the occasional acne. My oldest uses it for body and face and it has helped her a lot with the minor breakouts she was starting to get.

The packaging is great. I didn’t find it to make a significant difference in my body acne unfortunately. I bought this because I had been using the Naturium wash but I wanted something with a stronger percentage of salicylic acid because I thought it would be more effective. I found this one to be less effective than the Naturium. I also find the smell very off putting. I was hoping it would be the classic Dove Cucumber scent but it smells very chemically. I’m using it up because it’s better than nothing but I won’t be repurchasing.

This definitely helps with acne prone skin. I wish it was a little stronger but I like the amount you get for the price. It also doesn't seem to dry out my skin so that is a plus. The scent isn't too strong either which I appreciate. I buy this item regularly.
AMAZING RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Using a product for more than 6 months with zero results and just seeing a difference after only ONE month….yep, I’m done using other products on my face!! Thank you Dove🕊️!!!!! 🥰🥰

I’ve seen a significant change in my back and shoulder acne. I had a break out from another body wash and tried this one out. I love the scent and it took about a week with daily use to show results. Pleasantly surprised as I honestly, don’t really buy Dove soap/body products. But this one caught my eye. A new staple in my daily routine!
Not effective and odd smell

Really wasn’t impressed with this body wash. My husband and I both struggle with body acne and haven’t noticed any difference after using for about 2 months. The smell is pretty unpleasant and the bottle is very odd—it shoots out the bottle top making it hard to get onto a wash cloth or loofa.

Used this for about 1 month. I started seeing red bumps around my left eyelid but just brushed it off and thought my eye was just irritated from my contacts. In the next 2 weeks my condition progressed into eyelid dermatitis, and it had become very bad. After some research I found out that salicylic acid can cause this, and I am disappointed that this body wash has caused me so much pain and suffering. My eye took 3 months to heal completely after i discounted the use of this wash.

I’m in my late 30s and suddenly had back acne that I couldn’t get rid of. I would change shampoos and body washes, but no luck. Tried this and could see improvement after just a few days and now my back is clear! The scent is pleasant and light. It doesn’t linger after the shower. It lathers easily with just your hands. I love my other specialty body washes so I only use this product on my back/shoulders where I’d have issues. Very pleased.
