Naturium The Perfector Salicylic Acid Body Wash 16 ingredients
Gentle and effective formula. Helped get rid me of my folliculitis flare up in just a few days along with the spray. It isn’t as drying as other formulas.
Getting rid of body acne? Works great. KP? So-so, I think the glycolic acid one works better. It is also slightly drying so make sure to really moisturize after.

Been using this for about 2 years and every time I’ve tried something new I always go back to it. Helped clear my scars/blemishes and combats dullness. The key for me is letting it sit on my skin for about 45seconds!
