### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for body acne
*by O***E on February 1, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great

Great product to clear acne GOOD PRICE FAST SHIPPING

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for sensitive skin but seems to leave a film
*by G***7 on January 4, 2025*

This body wash is truly fragrance free, which is great for my sensitive skin. However, it leaves a very slick film that is impossible to wash off. I have to rinse my skin longer than other body washes. I assume the slickness is due to the moisturizers in the body wash. Overall I am happy with this body wash and I do think it’s very exfoliating. I mainly bought the body wash for its exfoliating effects rather than to fight body acne, and I think it does a good job. The slick film is a bit of a turn off though.
