• Caring for your unique skin needs
Searching for the best body wash for acne for your daily routine? We partnered with dermatologists and beauty experts to co-create an acne body wash which is specially formulated to give your unique skin the specialized care it needs.

• Reducing breakouts
When you lather up with our Acne Clear Body Wash, it’s not just bubbly with a refreshingly herbal scent – it’s a powerful cleanser that penetrates your pores and helps reduce acne breakouts. Dove is the #1 dermatologist recommended body wash brand for sensitive skin, so you know your skin is getting the expert care it deserves. 

• Giving your body what it’s been missing 
You’re probably already using active ingredients on your face – now your body wants in on the action. Our body wash for acne-prone skin is infused with the skin care ingredients you already know and love (hello, clearing salicylic acid), because we think beautiful, visibly healthy skin is a head-to-toe kind of thing.

Pump a generous amount of our body wash for acne prone skin  into your hands and massage all over, paying extra attention to areas where you’re prone to breakouts, like your shoulders and back. Enjoy that fresh, herbal scented lather and rinse to reveal instantly cleansed skin. Use every time you step into the shower.

Acne-prone skin needs moisturizing too, and what better time than straight after your shower? Damp, cleansed skin is even better at absorbing lotions and serums. Just step out of your shower, gently towel off any excess water and apply your fave Dove moisturizer.

To bring even more active levels of skin care serums to your shower routine, check out the rest of our Serum Shower Collection.

Cleared my stubborn back acne

5 days ago

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!!!

Eyelid Dermatitis. Don’t Buy.

8 months ago

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 got a lot of back acne when I was pregnant and couldn’t use salicylic acid. But got to try this body wash when I was postpartum. My back acne is almost gone! I really like it and would buy in the future. I like that it comes in a huge bottle that lasts awhile.
