Differin Body Scrub
When it comes to tackling body acne – we’re talking “bacne” here – Differin Body Scrub with Salicylic Acid comes along and really delivers as a game-changer for the tough-to-tackle skin on your back, shoulders and chest. Most facial cleansers just aren’t tough enough to handle body breakouts, but this formula gets the balance spot on – it’s the perfect mix of chemical exfoliation and physical resurfacing.
The real star of the show is 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA), which is basically the gold standard acid when it comes to clearing out pores. It gets deep down into those pores and breaks down the sebum and dead skin cells that give you clogged pores in the first place. Then there’s the biodegradable wax beads in the scrub, which do a gentle polishing job of getting rid of dead skin cells without being too harsh and scratching you up like some of those other nut-shell scrubs do.
What really sets this product apart, though, is that it doesn’t just stop at clearing up pimples. It’s also got Vitamin E and Glycerin in there to keep your skin nice and hydrated, so that even when you are using it to clear up acne, you don’t end up with a dry, flaky mess. That means say goodbye to “rebound oiliness” which is basically what happens when you’re using something that’s too drying to clear up your skin. You’ll notice right away that your skin feels smoother, and that the little bumps (like those pesky KP bumps) and post-acne marks start to fade away, giving your skin a lovely even tone.
It’s also fragrance-free, paraben-free and dermatologist-tested, so even if you’ve got sensitive skin and need something that’s going to knock out those tough breakouts, this Differin scrub is a good bet. The best way to use it is to get it on your skin when it’s damp, massage it around a bit focusing on the areas that are prone to breakouts, and then just leave it on for a minute or so so the salicylic acid can get to work before rinsing off. If you’ve been beating yourself up over uneven skin texture and pesky blemishes, then this scrub really is a pro-grade solution for getting clear, radiant skin from head to toe.
