Since it's mildly acidic, I can use it daily without drying out my skin. It's great that it also contains exfoliating ingredients. After showering, I feel refreshed and clean. I've even repurchased it - it's a product I'm really satisfied with!
ConsThere's not much I dislike about it. The scent? Well, it has a very slight dish soap smell, but I don't find it unpleasant at all.
TipFor those with blemish-prone skin, it's recommended to wash with lukewarm water without scrubbing too hard!

Determined to tackle this issue once and for all, I searched for a gentle, slightly acidic cleanser containing salicylic acid, and that's when I discovered this product. The verdict? It's absolutely fantastic! Not only has it helped control my back acne, but it's also left my back skin feeling incredibly smooth. Being mildly acidic, it's gentle on the skin and lathers up nicely. I've finally found my go-to body wash!
ConsAny downsides? Not really. If I had to nitpick, maybe the pump is a bit stiff? And the scent could be slightly better? It has a bit of a medicinal smell, but I'd take that over potentially harmful artificial fragrances any day.
TipUsing the body mist from the same line alongside this wash is a game-changer. These days, the skin on my back is in the best condition it's ever been - so soft and smooth. It's absolutely amazing!

Overall, I'm satisfied and currently using it! It lathers up nicely with rich foam and cleanses well. The best part is that it's less slippery than other pH-balanced body washes! I also liked that it didn't leave my skin feeling dry after use.
ConsWhile I'm satisfied with the product itself, the pump... I'm not sure if mine was faulty, but it was a bit inconvenient as it didn't pump well.
TipAfter using this body wash, I applied a soothing body mist for blemishes, and it quickly calmed my skin! I think it would be great to use them together.

I knew Acnes was famous for their acne cleansing foam, but trying their body wash this time was a pleasant surprise! As soon as I pumped it out, I could tell it was mildly acidic. To be honest, I hadn't paid much attention to pH levels in body washes before, preferring that squeaky-clean feeling. But with recent body blemishes, I've been reconsidering. The Hwahae Testers experience was perfect timing! This gel-type body wash is incredibly gentle and non-irritating due to its low pH. It has a subtle, pleasant scent - a common concern with body washes. Unlike some low pH cleansers that don't lather well, this one foams up beautifully. My blemishes have noticeably reduced, but what impressed me most was how incredibly gentle and soothing it felt. With beneficial silicic acid for acne and its ability to remove impurities without irritation, there's no reason not to use it. While I got to try it for free as part of The Hwahae Testers program, I'm so satisfied that I'll definitely purchase it with my own money in the future.
ConsThere wasn't a single thing I disliked about this product!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, let me describe my skin condition. I've struggled with body acne since my teenage years, so I haven't used perfumed body washes in a long time. I've mainly been using gentle, slightly acidic body washes. In that respect, this body wash was a great match for me! Currently, I only have some scarring left, with occasional blemishes popping up here and there. I've been using this for just under two weeks, so it's difficult to gauge its full effectiveness. Instead, I've been monitoring whether it causes more blemishes to appear, and I'm happy to report that it hasn't. For a mildly acidic formula, the finish isn't too slippery, and it leaves my skin feeling comfortably moisturized. I definitely plan to repurchase once I've finished this bottle!
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be the fragrance. It has a slight lemon-scented dish soap smell, but it's not overpowering. Still, I wonder if the fragrance was really necessary... I usually prefer fragrance-free body washes.
TipA little goes a long way with this product - one pump is enough to create a rich lather. I use a shower puff and find that even half a pump is sufficient, so this bottle should last quite a while!

My skin feels hydrated even after showering. I had high hopes for this product, remembering how Acnes foam cleanser helped with my teenage acne. While it doesn't produce an abundance of lather due to its low pH, using a shower puff creates sufficient foam. The scent is neutral and mild, so it's unlikely to be polarizing.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the moisturizing effect leaves a slightly slippery feeling when rinsing after showering. It feels a bit unsettling to go from a thorough cleanse to a moisturized finish, but I think I'll get used to it with continued use.
TipUse a shower puff that lathers well for best results.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Acnes body wash feels gentler compared to my usual thick, moisturizing, and strongly scented body wash. Looking at the ingredients, it's genuinely mild! It's my first time using a low pH body wash, which might be why it feels this way. On my typically non-dry skin, it doesn't feel slippery but strikes a balance between moisturizing and cleansing - perhaps leaning slightly more towards moisturizing. I think it's perfect for summer when we tend to shower more frequently, as it doesn't leave the skin feeling overly stripped.
ConsThe lather and fragrance are a bit disappointing. The foam is light and disperses easily rather than being rich and creamy. However, it works fine when used with a shower puff. This might not be ideal for those seeking a strongly scented body wash. There's a faint citrus scent, but it's barely noticeable after rinsing. Given how subtle the fragrance is, they might as well have made it fragrance-free, though it does contain some fragrance ingredients. Personally, I don't prioritize scent in body washes, so it was fine for me.
TipThis product seems more suitable for use with a shower puff or loofah rather than just your hands - it lathers better and cleanses more effectively that way. Just remember to dry your shower accessories well and replace them regularly, especially in summer when bathrooms tend to be more humid.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsTrue to its low pH nature, this product suits sensitive skin well. However, caution is needed with high concentrations, so use just a small amount. (A little goes a long way in creating ample lather.) Among the acne-targeted & low pH products I've used so far, this one seems to be the most drying. (Though it's not severe.) I suspect it's because it's so effective at removing dead skin cells. While I can see some soothing effects, I think I need more time to really feel the blemish-improving benefits. I'll update after using it a bit longer. When I've tried low pH or acne-friendly products before, there's always been this peculiar slippery feeling afterwards. This product has less of that, which I like. It's not completely devoid of hydration either, so overall I'm satisfied.
ConsAmong the 20 ingredients to be cautious of, fragrance is listed... Personally, I'm not a fan of scents. Moreover, the fragrance is somewhat odd... It's hard to tell if it's there or not. I can't help but think it might have been better unscented. For a product that's not just a regular body wash but specifically for acne and low pH, an unscented version might have been more appropriate.
TipThere's no need to use a lot of this product. Just a small squeeze creates a rich lather. Since I personally felt some dryness, make sure to follow up with a good moisturizer!

I tend to have quite a bit of acne on my face and back due to excessive sebum production. I occasionally get one or two pimples on my chest, but it's not severe. 1. Texture It has a transparent and thin consistency. You can think of it as a typical body wash with some viscosity. 2. Lather Being mildly acidic, it doesn't lather as much as other body washes. Using a shower puff, it produces a lighter foam rather than a dense, firm lather. (Of course, using more product will create a denser lather, but it takes much longer and is harder to rinse off.) 3. Residue This was my first time using a mildly acidic body wash, and I noticed it feels a bit slippery when rinsing compared to regular body washes. However, the slipperiness is much less than facial foam cleansers. 4. Effect on Back Acne After about a week of use, I saw significant improvement in my back acne. Before using this, I could always feel bumpy sebum and scabs when touching my back, as well as raised pimples. Now, only visible marks remain. While I need to use it longer to be sure, it's amazing to see such noticeable results in just a week! I couldn't assess its effect on chest acne as I didn't have any before using the product. 5. Hydration As someone who never expected hydration from body washes, this feels more moisturizing than typical ones. Perhaps due to its mildly acidic formula, it leaves the skin feeling slightly more hydrated than my previous body wash. (However, I'm using this during the hot summer, so I'll need to wait for dry autumn or winter to truly evaluate its hydrating effects.) For reference, my previous body washes were just common brands you can find anywhere, like Hap*bo*.
Cons1. Residue The residue is an important factor for a body wash used all over. This product leaves a slightly slippery feeling after rinsing, which could be a significant drawback if you dislike any residue. 2. Scent The fragrance isn't as pleasant as other body washes. When you smell it, you'll think, 'Ah, this is definitely an acne product.' It's a scent that might divide opinions. Don't expect a lovely fragrance from this product. 3. Ingredients (I thought it was unscented due to the smell, but looking at the ingredients, there is fragrance included...) It also contains some ingredients to watch out for, like salicylic acid, for its acne-fighting properties. Those with sensitive skin might want to look for alternative products.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI really appreciate the gentle ingredients in this product, except for the fragrance. For areas prone to acne or back acne, it's crucial to manage dead skin cells and sebum production. This cleanser strikes a nice balance - it's less slippery than other low pH cleansers I've tried (like Illiyoon), which I consider a plus! The inclusion of salicylic acid, known for its effectiveness against blemishes, makes this a promising option for acne care. I've only been using it for a week, and my skin isn't particularly troubled right now, so I haven't seen dramatic results. However, I haven't experienced any irritation or redness, which is encouraging. I plan to continue using it to see long-term effects. One thing I love is how well it lathers. Some low pH cleansers can feel too slippery, but this one foams up nicely. Good lather usually means less residue after rinsing, and I'm satisfied with how clean my skin feels. While visible foam isn't always necessary, I find that it helps reduce skin irritation during cleansing.
ConsThe inclusion of artificial fragrance is disappointing, especially since I'm trying to avoid it while preparing for pregnancy. While the scent itself isn't overpowering, I'm concerned about potential endocrine disruptors in fragrances and prefer to steer clear of them.
TipFor those dealing with acne or back acne, it's important to cleanse thoroughly but gently. Consider using tools like a soft brush or shower puff to help cleanse these areas effectively. Just as you'd pay extra attention to facial acne, treating body acne with the same care can lead to noticeable improvements.
