Neutrogena Body Clear Acne Body Scrub – 2% Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash, 8.5 fl oz, Oil-Free & Non-Comedogenic

Neutrogena Body Clear Acne Body Scrub is a two-in-one salicylic acid body wash and exfoliating scrub that helps treat and help prevent body acne on the back, chest, and shoulders.

This product combines 2% salicylic acid with gentle exfoliating beads to cleanse deep into pores while removing dead skin that can trap oil and bacteria. The oil-free, non-comedogenic formula rinses clean without leaving pore-clogging residue and includes skin-soothing aloe and chamomile. Designed for daily use, the Neutrogena Body Clear scrub aims to support a consistent body-care routine for acne-prone skin in an easy, single-step shower application.

How does this body scrub help reduce breakouts?

Salicylic acid penetrates pores to loosen buildup and reduce the factors that contribute to acne formation, while the physical exfoliating beads help sweep away dead skin cells that can trap oil and bacteria. Together they work to both treat active spots and help prevent new ones from forming.

• Contains 2% salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that exfoliates inside pores.
• Exfoliating beads remove surface dead skin that can block pores.
• Oil-free, non-comedogenic formula minimizes the risk of new clogs.

Can I use it every day and on which areas?

Yes—this formula is formulated for daily use on acne-prone body skin and is appropriate for the back, chest, and shoulders where body acne commonly appears. Rinse thoroughly and avoid over-scrubbing sensitive or broken skin.

• Safe for daily showers when used as directed.
• Recommended for torso and shoulder areas, not for delicate facial skin.
• Rinse well to leave no residue that could clog pores.

Is this product gentle enough and what additional ingredients help soothe skin?

While it delivers active exfoliation and acne treatment, the formula includes aloe and chamomile to help calm and refresh skin after cleansing. It’s fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, and leaves a foaming lather that rinses clean, but users with highly sensitive skin should introduce it gradually.

• Aloe and chamomile help soothe and refresh skin post-cleanse.
• Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested to reduce irritation risk.
• No plastic microbeads—exfoliates without leaving synthetic residue.

How does this fit into my overall skincare routine?

Use this body scrub in the shower as your primary acne-fighting body cleanser; follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic body moisturizer if needed. For persistent or severe breakouts, pair consistent use with advice from a dermatologist for a tailored plan.

• Use during showering as the daily acne body wash step.
• Follow with oil-free moisturizers and sun protection when skin is exposed.
• Consult a dermatologist for severe or persistent acne concerns.
