Salicylic acid body wash + glycolic acid body lotion got rid of most of it for me! Still have very very tiny ones but they aren’t noticeably red or bumpy, which is a win in my book

make sure you put your hair up after you condition! Most of the time when you have back/shoulder acne it’s because your conditioned hair is sitting on your skin.

I don’t have a brand that I stick to as of now :-/ but if you want to play it safe stick to name brands first and focus on the active ingredients, skin care doesn’t have to be expensive for it to work!! I travel around enough that I tend to use soaps, so that’s also an option. Also, I would second the hair condition thing too, it def won’t hurt to do that!!!
