Geologie Acne Control Body Wash — Fresh Eucalyptus, 2% Salicylic + 1.5% Glycolic, 8.4 oz, Clears & Prevents Body Breakouts

Geologie Acne Control Body Wash is an exfoliating shower gel that combines 2% salicylic acid and 1.5% glycolic acid to help clear and prevent body breakouts while leaving skin feeling refreshed with a eucalyptus scent.

Designed for acne on the back, chest and other body zones, this formula blends a BHA (salicylic acid) and an AHA (glycolic acid) to target clogged pores, reduce excess oil and smooth skin texture. The lightweight, non-drying base is free of benzoyl peroxide, sulfates and other common irritants, and comes in a convenient twist-top bottle for easy dispensing in the shower.

How does this body wash treat and reduce breakouts?

The two-acid combination works on different parts of the acne process: salicylic acid penetrates pores to help clear blockages, while glycolic acid exfoliates surface dead skin that can trap oil. Used consistently, this helps reduce existing blemishes and lowers the chance of new ones forming.

• 2% salicylic acid to penetrate and help clear clogged pores
• 1.5% glycolic acid for surface exfoliation and smoother texture
• Non-drying base helps maintain skin moisture during treatment

Will it irritate sensitive or easily inflamed skin?

This product is formulated to be effective yet gentle, avoiding harsh sulfates, parabens and benzoyl peroxide that commonly cause irritation. Those with sensitive skin should still patch-test and introduce the wash gradually to monitor tolerance, especially when first using acids.

• Free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates and benzoyl peroxide
• Dermatologist-tested ingredients for balanced exfoliation
• Start with 2–3 uses per week, increase as tolerated

How do I use it for best results in my shower routine?

Apply a small amount to wet skin, lather over affected areas, leave on briefly if tolerated, then rinse thoroughly. Consistent use—paired with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer—helps maintain clear skin and prevent future outbreaks.

• Use on wet skin; lather and leave 30–60 seconds if your skin tolerates it
• Rinse fully and follow with a moisturizing lotion to prevent dryness
• Use regularly—several times weekly—for visible improvement over time

What makes this formula different from a regular body cleanser?

Unlike ordinary soaps, this wash contains targeted exfoliating acids at active concentrations intended to address acne-related causes rather than just surface dirt. The eucalyptus scent gives a refreshing finish, while the short ingredient list avoids common irritants, offering a focused skincare approach for body acne.

• Active AHA + BHA combination tuned for body acne management
• Cleansing and exfoliating without harsh SLS surfactants
• Modern, low-waste twist-top bottle for easy, measured dispensing

Who is this for: Geologie Acne Control Body Wash suits adults seeking a targeted shower treatment for back, chest or shoulder breakouts who prefer acid-based exfoliation over benzoyl peroxide. It's appropriate for people who want clinical-strength actives in a gentle formulation, anyone wanting a eucalyptus-scented cleanser, and those avoiding sulfates and common irritants. If you have very sensitive skin or are using other prescription acne treatments, check with your dermatologist before adding another active product.
