What the gurus are saying
A fragranced salicylic acid body wash stands out because most in the category are unscented and smell unpleasant, while this one carries a watermelon scent that earned genuine praise. One reviewer loves the 1% salicylic acid as gentle yet effective for breakout-prone skin, but the other finds it underpowered and prefers 10% benzoyl peroxide. It's inexpensive at around £8, making it worth trying if fragrance is part of your routine.
