    What the gurus are saying

    This body wash pairs 1% salicylic acid with gluconolactone, a gentler exfoliator that hydrates while it works, to tackle acne and bumpy skin. Gurus praise it for sensitive and dry skin, and the fragrance-free formula matters for anyone allergic to fragrance. If using on your face, be cautious around the eyes, as some find their eyelids get dry.

    "This is a favorite body wash of mine, it is the Neutrogena Stubborn Body Acne Wash, this is a 1% salicylic acid body wash which is good not only for helping with breakouts but also good for exfoliating rough and bumpy skin. This also has polyhydroxy acid, again those are really hydrating ingredients that gently exfoliate, they're really good for sensitive skin. The polyhydroxy acid is gluconolactone. There is no fragrance in this, it has cocal purle betaine, a mild surfactant, so it's actually pretty gentle, great for acne-prone skin."

    "It's a 1% salicylic acid body wash free of fragrance. It also has gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid that is hydrating and gently exfoliates. I've been using this on my face as well. Be careful around your eyes because in my experience a lot of people will develop non-specific dry eyelids. The benefits of salicylic acid in a face wash are it can help unclog pores, it also can help just smooth out the skin surface, it's great for rough and bumpy skin, AKA keratosis pilaris on the cheeks, and it's also beneficial for seborrheic dermatitis as well as hyperpigmentation."
