I ordered this body cleanser for an acne on my back and shoulders. I learned that it could also help with my skin condition mentioned higher - and it did! Having the issue of "strawberries" on back of my upper arms and almost whole legs - which makes them looking reddish-purple :/ Using this cleanser + lukewarm water + massaging almond oil after the shower = my skin color on my legs finally coresponds with the rest of my body, the bumps are not higher than my skin - almost like nonexistent. Happy like never, plus one pump goes a long way - the bottle is pretty big and long-lastnig. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Thank you, SOMEBYMI!

Lab Muffin Beauty Science tested the pH and it was 9-10, which is high for skincare. Healthy skin is usually acidic, around 5.5. But she thinks this product is formulated well enough that this high basic pH doesn't have a negative effect. And for use on the back, the high pH might help wash off acne-causing residue from hair conditioner, since conditioner has a lower pH.

But a 9-10 pH might be less ideal for the face if you apply a vitamin C serum after, since vitamin C absorbs best below a pH of 4. In that case, maybe use a low-pH toner or serum first. I use a couple drops of The Ordinary's Mandelic Acid 10%, plus a couple drops of their Glycolic Acid 7% (both have a pH of 3.5-3.7). Mandelic is water-soluble, slightly oil-soluble, and very gentle. Glycolic is just water-soluble, with stronger exfoliation, and some anti-aging benefits. But I decant the glycolic into a dropper bottle so I can control the amount as just 1-3 drops at a time. Otherwise, the large drip bottle it comes in gushes out way too much for use as a leave-on product, which can cause irritation.

I use this on the face and body. It really keeps acne at bay, and you only need the tiniest amount. For my back, I apply it to a scrub brush, maybe a pea-sized amount or a little more. For my face, I use it as a second cleanser, and use an amount the size of a dried lentil, no joke. That's how little you need. More than that can be slightly irritating, but overall it's a great product. I also enjoy the refreshing, herbal, medicinal scent (kind of reminds me of a spa). I'm trying to switch to more plastic-free or low-waste products, so I'm going to try their cleansing bar next. But this is still lower-waste than most cleansers since it's a larger bottle.

I was getting bad acne on my upper back from trying to maintain the insanity of the curly girl method. This product took away 90% of the issue I was having and I don’t have to give anything up. This is a new must have for me.

Despite that it says it for the body, I use it as a face wash which helps to save money. I have oily skin and I noticed that gradually my acne and blemishes have started to calm down and clear away.

So I have been having acne problems on my back for a long time. Almost every night, I ask my husband to scratch my back because of the itchiness and the dryness of my acnes..So I gave this one a try, almost a month now, I don't remember having to ask my husband to scratch my back anymore..I also use this one on my face..I use a small face towel, I do one pump and rub the towel until it foams and I gently rub it on my face, but I rub the towel hard on my back...😅😅 this thing is legit..I hardly do a review but this one deserves some stars..👍🏻👍🏻 good job!

It has a nice mild scent and if you use more than one pump then it will lather a lot. It doesn't strip my skin and it leaves it nice and clean. I was struggling with a little bit of shoulder pimples that are now no longer an issue. Also, I believe it helps preventing the little bumps you might get after shaving the legs.

Will definitely repurchase after I empty this bottle!

i’ve struggled with chest and back acne for a while and nothing ever seems to work but this is working already and i haven’t even had it long yet! you receive so much in the bottle so it’s worth the price. if you have body acne i highly recommend!

I have acne on my shoulders and chest area, so I bought this product because of the promising reviews. So far, I can say I like how it feels on the skin and I don't feel like I have to use too much of the product, so hopefully it will last long. I will update this review once I have used it for a longer period of time. Hoping for great results!

I was so frustrated that no product was helping me to remove my acne marks on the back. But this is love 😍

I will never stop buying this. Amazing product.
Especially as we've hit summer full force now and you want to feel extra clean after a hot day. Works every time.

I've been having some problems with my shoulders. Since I went travelling and got sunburned alot I've been getting the odd spot. I saw this and thought id give it a go. I'm going to be a customer for life. Not even 30 days and its cleared up any spots or blemishes. Fantastic.

i use this in the shower every day. after a few days, i noticed that my chest and back acne were getting smaller and going away

this soap is completely odorless and I'm not used to showering without scented dobysoaps. that it doesn't smell should be good for achieving its goal, though. it seems that it is working but after more use I will update with more comments. with two pumps I wash my back, chest and arms (my critical points). does not dry out the skin.
