[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It leaves your skin soft and smooth and the Salicylic Acid helps with the impurities in your skin causing breakouts. I like using Neutrogena Stubborn Body Acne Cleaner and exfoliator . The great thing as well is that it smells fantastic regardless it says it's fragrance-free. The PHA is what really makes this stuff stand out from other generic acne body washes if anyone were to ask me to be honest.

Husband used this for almost 2 months. His back acne hasn’t improved in the slightest. For how much it cost I was hoping for something.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is great. It is a flip top open which makes it easy for keeping in the shower. I’ve been using this product on my back which is where I seem to breakout the most often for a ‘body’ breakout. I’ve been rubbing it around with a loaf as it is a hard to reach area. I have noticed that my breakouts have become very minimal! Which is great with summer just around the corner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tend to get some acne on my back that gets worse with working out when I sweat and I felt that this bodywash helped reduce how bumpy/big the acne was.
Works but wish consistency was different

Hi Neutrogena, yall have been hitting it out of the park with the stubborn line. This product works really well and gets ride of body acne. My only gripe with this is the consistency of the product. It's too thick. So thick that if you don't use a finger to separate the product from the bottle, it sucks it back in. Once it's in your hands and you start to try and lather it, it slides off your hand, resulting in a good amount sliding down the drain. The consistency of your hydroboost cleansers would be better imo. Sticks to your hands a bit and is less slippery before lathering. Still a great cleanser and will continue to repurchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been suffering from back acne for a long time. For me, it takes time to get rid of it when it comes. I used Neutrogena Body Acne cleanser and it helped. I love that it doesn't smell and it cleans my oily skin so well. It just needs time and it’d different from one person to another. So give it trust and be consistent!

This body wash works well and is super gentle on your skin. There’s no irritation at all! You’d don’t have to use lots of the body wash to be effective so that is nice as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so impressed with this Neutrogena Stubborn Body Acne Cleanser and Exfoliator! As someone whose struggled with acne since my early teens, I'm always looking for the next best acne products and brands to try. This Neutrogena cleanser seriously blew me away with how well it performed. I've tried many brands of acne body cleansers and this worked way better than the other ones I've tried in the past! It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight and still cleanses while fighting acne, and now I found my new favorite body acne cleanser and I will continue to purchase again and again! I definitely recommend 100%!
Cleans You Well!
