Glytone Chest & Back Acne Treatment Spray – 2% BHA Salicylic Acid with Gluconolactone – Body Acne Treatment for Bacne & Blackheads – Quick-Dry & Fragrance-Free Spray for Normal to Oily Skin – 8 fl oz

I've always had problems with acne on my back. I've tried wearing only cotton (because it "breathes" better than synthetic fabrics); I've tried changing my eating habits; I've tried several cleansing products such as Neutrogena salicylic acid treatment for in-shower use. I had yet to find something to really clear things up, and was getting really frustrated. My very light, sensitive skin is now becoming dotted with scars from previous spots as well as new spots cropping up every few days. I hate the way it looks and it affects what I wear, because I feel so self-conscious of my skin on my upper and even lower back. Recently, I became desperate for a fix to this problem, as I will be in two weddings this summer and both bridesmaids dresses show a lot of the back. I'd seen Glytone advertised before, but it seemed pricey to me. At this point, I was desperate and just wanted to find something - anything to help- and thought, what the heck - it's worth a try! I've been using it 2X a day for 4 days and WOW -- major changes already. The blemishes I had are healing/drying up quickly and for the first time in years I don't notice any new spots forming. This is huge. I have never had this kind of success with a product for non-facial acne. I was skeptical about the "upside-down" spray function and whether it would really work. It definitely does. It's easy and quick and really does work. I've been using probably more often than I should just to get things cleared up quickly, and then once things clear up, I'll probably use it a couple times a week to maintain it. Used 2-3 times a week, this bottle should last a few months. The ONLY complaint I have is the smell. If I forget to hold my breathe or walk out of the bathroom immediately after using it, the vapors irritate my throat and lungs. To be fair, the directions say to spray it in a well-ventilated area. The smell is slightly off-putting (chemical smell) but goes away as soon as it dries. Overall, these slight unpleasant aspects are definitely worth the results.

I have struggled with back acne since I was 12. It's been embarrassing and demoralizing. As a teenager, I made it my mission to simply cover it up--lots of layers and no backless tops, even when it was 90 degrees out. In my 20s, I finally started seeing a dermatologist, and it took sleeping with a benzoyl peroxide topical antibiotic ointment on my back each night to finally clear the blemishes. This also necessitated me sleeping on a towel, since the peroxide would bleach anything it came in contact with. I'm not kidding when I say this was the only thing that worked. I had tried pretty much every OTC product out there, but it was the anitbiotic that made the difference. Yada, yada, yada, the dream of a clear back ended when my insurance changed and I was forced to pay for the medication out of pocket--$200-$400 every two months. Well, that was not financially feasible, so I was back to looking at OTC products. I did not have much confidence that this stuff would work, because I've had little success with salicylic acid in the past, but this product my just have the right conbination. So far, I've been using it twice a day, in addition to using Panoxyl 10% scrub once a day. It's a little drying, and I will probably back it down to once a day once I get a better handle on the blemishes. I'm about a week and a half in, and the multitude of marks on my back that had accumulated over the last few months have subsided. They're in various stages of healing. But the best news is that I have had no new breakouts so far! My skin feels smooth, and I can feel that the inflammation has subsided. I feel like I'm inching closer to once again wearing tank tops, and just in time for the summer heat. The only downsides to this product is that is can be drying, it burns upon application and can cause some redness, and the fumes when you spray it can be intense. I'm more than willing to overlook all of that if it keeps working! I'll post a follow-up with any changes.

I loved this spray! I've dealt with bacne for a long time. It has always been very difficult to use the topical creams that are normally used to treat acne because I couldn't reach my back properly. Problem solved with this product! The spray is is convenient and super easy to use and gets majority of my back area. It works very good as well. Majority of the bacne cleared up fairly quickly. I continue to use the product religiously on a daily basis to avoid further breakouts. I still get bacne but, not as bad or often and the blemishes that do show up are gone in a short period of time. I deducted one star from this review because the product smells terrible and makes me cough and gag. However, I just learned to hold my breath and spray it in a different room and walk out quickly. Try it...I think you will be pleased!

UPDATE: They have changed the formula. This is not at all the same product as it once was. The strong smell is mostly gone but so with it went the active ingredients that made this a powerhouse. I'm so disappointed. I hate when companies do this, ruin a perfectly good product... The clear bottle is the old formula, the opaque/white bottle is the changed formula. The new formula doesn't work at all, it's now waste of money. I don't recommend. __________________________ LOVE THIS STUFF!! I have pretty much always suffered from back acne, kept long hair to cover my back, felt self-conscious in backless or low back things.. This spray cleared my skin (after the old acne scars faded) I feel great wearing backless anything, aside from the occasional breakout. I wish I would have found this 20 years ago!. The Only issue is that the smell is STRONG!! Like make you gag/ throw-up strong. My trick is this: after the shower/dry off. Go into another room, hold my breath and spray then go quickly into a different room to breathe again, ha! AND that little inconvenience is ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY worth it for the freedom of having a clear, spot free back. * I never, ever would have worn the dress in the picture with hair UP, no less, before this spray.

Ive had problems with back acne since the seventh grade and now im going into junior year. My acne was always on the top of my back like near my shoulders. It was pretty mild acne and anything i used would never work and i would never see improvement. Ive been to so many dermatologist to only have my mom fish out money for products that never worked. I found glytone on amazon in like Feburary or March and read the reviews and i thought why not give it a try. So we ordered it. It took about a week to ship. My chest started breaking out for some reason about two weeks prior and when I got glytone within that week, within a week or two my chest completely cleared, but it dried out my chest so I would use just lotion from the dollar store and it was fine. I used it twice a day (morning and night) and within a week i saw very little improvement on my back but I still continued to use it. Now its July and my back is practically clear. I have acne scars but thats about it. For the past two months I havent really used the product faithfully, sometimes i wont use it for a week. But even with not using it faithfully I am so happy with my back now. I feel okay with actually wearing a bathing suit without a t-shirt and actually wear a racer back tank top. My back has improved definitely 90% maybe even 95% from where it started. It is kind of pricey but it so worth the money. I get the biggest bottle and with usuing it faithfully it lasts about a good month and half or two months for me.

I've tried all kinds of stuff and nothing ever seemed to make much of a dent in my bacne. BUT this has cleared everything up, by about.. 85%. It's not 100% but I'll take what I can get! The first week it didn't seem to do much. I was using 1xday and it seemed to stop any new breakouts from forming, but it was hard to tell that early. The second week I upped it to 2xday and noticed a much larger improvement. It's been about a month now and my back is much improved - there are still a few pumps, and some slight pinkness that you can see up close, but that's it. I bought the 2oz size as a tester amount since the regular size seemed kinda pricey. I'm about halfway through the 2oz bottle now. It does smell like rubbing alchohol, however. So what I do, is spray spray spray while holding my breath, then take a couple steps away before inhaling again. The smell dissipates really quickly, fortunately.

I bought this skeptically about 6 weeks ago and I am shocked at how well it has worked. I used to have pretty solid backnee pretty much from the lower back up to my shoulders with a few cystic spots. Since I started using this (2x/day after showering) my backnee has all but dissapeared. I am truly amazed it worked, and even better I haven't had any itchy/flaking/redness etc... The only drawback is the horrendous chemical smell and inability to breath after spraying it on as the salicylic acid lingers in the air. It's so overwhelming I hold my breath and then use my towel as a gas mask to breath as it dissipates. But despite my odd routine it's 100% worth it. Having a clear back that I can be confident about is well worth the weird towel ritual.

I’ve used Glytone as a full body exfoliate treatment for several years.. I find it helps with Keratosis pilaris, and skin buildup from a topic dermatitis/eczema it is not merely an acne treatment. The ability to reliably use the spray pump upside down makes Glytone indispensable.

Help my son with his back acne! He has it really bad but we need to get him on something more but this bottle helped clear some bad ones up. Just looking for something that will help him as he spends 2 hours a day working out

I definitely notice an improvement using this, but it doesn't work as well as some otherd I've tried. I do really like the mist spray it has. One squirt covers a large area and is easy to spray your back yourself. As other noted, this product is potent! I didn't read thr bottle before the first use. Do not inhale it says and with good reason. I had a major coughing fit. Even 10 minutes after spraying it hung in the air causing the coughing fit to resume. I now apply in the shower stall with the fan on while holding my breath.

This has totally cleared up my back. I've been using it continuously and it hasn't dried out my skin. Love it.

Amazing product! Helped so much with my back ance. I've been waiting years to find a product like this.
