GLYTONEChest & 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 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'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.

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.
