    Clean, refreshing, and a great pick for helping keep body breakouts under control

    I love Dove Acne Clear Serum Body Wash. it leaves my skin feeling clean without residue. Fewer breakouts after using consistently. Lather on and rinses off easily. Feels like my skin really absorbs it.

    Effective and Gentle Solution for Troubled Skin

    Gentle exfoliator for sensitive skin.This actually works. I’ve tried a lot of washes that say they moisturize but this one actually feels right. It stopped small breakouts on my hips and thighs from tight workout clothes. Foamy, smells good, good for sensitive skin, would recommend.I like this 1% SA body wash because it’s more gentle for daily use. I go to the gym almost everyday and I have acne prone skin. After I started this body wash about a year ago, I have less breakouts on the neck and back. I like the light scent. It is not a foamy wash, but that’s probably good because more foam usually equals dryer skin, and this doesn’t dry out my skin. Although I would still recommend putting a lotion or cream with ceramides after shower to give you smoother softer skin.

    Question

    Concerned, I have bought this product multiple times and today noticed a bright red color to it when I removed the cap. I have not seen this before with this product. Should I be concerned? Is this normal?

    Effectively Clears Skin

    This actually cleared the acne on my shoulders, neck, and back! The scent isn't unpleasant and it lathers well. I've been using this for maybe 6 months and it's helped alot! For me, I like to gently physically exfoliate with a glove or rag with this on it everyday.

    Worth it!!

    This acne wash is a life saver! During my second trimester of my pregnancy I developed back and shoulder acne and the wash helped get rid of my back acne and blackheads within 2 weeks of consistent use! Highly recommend, a little goes a long way. Now that my back acne is gone I only need it once a week to keep it smooth.

    I didn't notice much of a difference on my skin on the contrary my skin broke out more. I really wanted this to work because my acne was getting pretty bad during the summer but unfortunately it didn't..

    Top Shelf Product.

    I hope they never change this formula or discontinue. If I could give this body wash sixty stars, I would. Excellent, top shelf product. I have had extremely, extremely oily and acne prone skin since teenage years, and nothing has ever worked like this. One shower with this on an exfoliating wash cloth, every trace of excess oil is gone, the KP on my arms has been visibly reduced by at least 20% and my skin has never felt softer in my entire life. Just enough of a fragrance to be refreshing but not enough to irritate as my skin is slightly sensitive as well. I feel like a brand new person & cannot overstate it enough, this salicylic acid body wash is truly a miracle product.

    Horrible scent!!!

    I got this to use on my back, I'm not sure if it has been very effective but the scent is horrible. Like other dove products I have tried, it has a very strong scent. The scent smells masculine to me and it is not appealing at all as someone who typically doesn't mind more masculine smelling or gender neutral scents.

    Great Product to Assist with Body Acne

    Love using this product to assist with body acne. I find it's most helpful to use after using conditioner to assist with preventing back acne. Scent is not overpowering either.

    Third time buyer

    This is my third time buying this shower gel! Much like Dove’s newer line of products, this is so good! The smell is great and it’s even better that there are active ingredients in this product, without it being too much or too drying for the skin. If you’re a skincare girlie, this is it for an everyday shower gel! Dove is really killing the game right now

    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!!!
