Works?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do feel like this works , it did remove my acne from my arms/ back! HOWEVER It does not remove the BO! I used this as a normal Body wash and I had an armpit smell for more than a day! I had to use my other body wash to remove my odor. it has a weird smell to it I am not a fan off it. it did not Lather like others... Will finish the bottle but would not buy.

Can cause itching
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the body wash, I have mild acne on my back and completely went away. The breakout diminished after a couple of weeks after using it daily. The ingredients are fragrance free, it’s not drying and two pumps worked.

Good for sensitive skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t use this product long enough to testify about the acne but I can assure you I will continue using it because I love that it leaves my skin soft. I love that for my sensitive skin it doesn’t have a fragrance and that a little bit of product goes a long way. I’m suggesting this product to anyone with low amounts of body acne.

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Cetaphil Acne Relief Body Wash for a few weeks and I’m really impressed. The 2% salicylic acid helps clear body breakouts without over-drying my skin. It gently exfoliates, reduces redness, and leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth. I also love that it’s fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin. With ingredients like glycerin and shea butter, my skin feels balanced, not tight. Great option for acne-prone body skin.

Cetaphil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this acne body wash complimentary to give my honest review. I have a little bit of acne on my body from when I work out, so this body wash has been a big help. I have notice ever since using this they have improved a lot and I have notice ever since been getting them so often. I would recommend to someone who also struggles with acne on their body, this helps out so much.

Fresh and clean
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this for about a week, I haven’t really noticed much of a difference in my skin, maybe I haven’t been using it long enough. But it is good for sensitive and it doesn’t have a scent. It lathers good and rinses off good. I feel clean after I use it. I wish it was a pump but it’s not that bag of a deal. I haven’t noticed a difference in breakouts, but I also don’t really have many.

If you have acne, buy this!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a total believer in Cetaphil products, and I know they're a very effective brand. I've used the moisturizing lotion, as well as face wash. The Acne Relief body wash is for all skins, and exfoliates the skin to help eliminate break outs while preventing dryness. As someone with super dry skin, especially during the winter I really like how exfoliating this body wash is. Although this is fragrance free product, it does have a medicated scent. Im not one to get acne, but this is a good product for someone who gets reoccurring breakouts. It contains shea butter, glyercin and 2% Salicylic Acid, which is an acne treatment. I would recommend this product to someone with acne problems and oily skin.

Effective and hydrating!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dermatologist literally just prescribed me a SA body wash so this is perfect! It’s gentle on my skin but has definitely made a difference in my acne. The shea butter is a perfect balance to moisturize you while still being effective.
