Bacne product recco

My husband has been getting some acne on his back. We’re not quite sure what’s the trigger but maybe because the weather has been hot recently. I help to put some benzoyl peroxide cream but I hate that it bleaches fabric and then he needs to wear a shirt to sleep or else the bedsheets and blankets are affected. I’m thinking of buying an acne body wash maybe it can help? Like the medicube one (pic attached) But it’s quite expensive I don’t want to buy if it doesn’t work.

Some of the acne come and go and there’s a lot of greyish hyperpigmentation as well. Doesn’t really bother him or me but if there’s a way to lighten them that’ll be nice too.

Looking forward to answers x

    For back acne (bacne), an acne body wash could be a good solution, especially if it contains ingredients that target acne effectively. Here are some options and general tips:

    1. Acne-Fighting Body Washes:

    • Salicylic Acid Body Wash: Salicylic acid is a great option for mild to moderate acne. It helps exfoliate the skin and clear out pores, reducing breakouts. Popular options include Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash and CeraVe SA Body Wash. These are generally more affordable and effective.
    • Glycolic Acid Body Wash: Glycolic acid can help exfoliate the skin and fade hyperpigmentation. Look for products like Mario Badescu AHA Botanical Body Soap or Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash.
    • Tea Tree Oil Body Wash: Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic with antibacterial properties. Products like The Body Shop Tea Tree Body Wash might help with breakouts.

    2. Benzoyl Peroxide Alternatives:

    • If you want to avoid the bleaching effects of benzoyl peroxide, adapalene gel (Differin) is a good topical alternative that doesn’t bleach fabrics. It helps with acne and hyperpigmentation, though it can take a few weeks to see results.

    3. Additional Tips:

    • Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation (once or twice a week) with a gentle scrub can help prevent clogged pores. Be cautious not to overdo it, as it can irritate the skin.
    • Moisturizing: Look for non-comedogenic moisturizers that won’t clog pores. Keeping the skin hydrated can aid in healing and reduce hyperpigmentation.

    4. Hyperpigmentation:

    • Niacinamide: This ingredient can help with inflammation and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
    • Azelaic Acid: It’s effective for both acne and fading hyperpigmentation.

    Before purchasing a more expensive product like the Medicube body wash, it might be worth trying more affordable options like the salicylic acid body washes. If his skin doesn’t respond, you could consult a dermatologist for more targeted treatment.
