I have struggled with back acne since I was 12. It's been embarrassing and demoralizing. As a teenager, I made it my mission to simply cover it up--lots of layers and no backless tops, even when it was 90 degrees out. In my 20s, I finally started seeing a dermatologist, and it took sleeping with a benzoyl peroxide topical antibiotic ointment on my back each night to finally clear the blemishes. This also necessitated me sleeping on a towel, since the peroxide would bleach anything it came in contact with. I'm not kidding when I say this was the only thing that worked. I had tried pretty much every OTC product out there, but it was the anitbiotic that made the difference.
Yada, yada, yada, the dream of a clear back ended when my insurance changed and I was forced to pay for the medication out of pocket--$200-$400 every two months. Well, that was not financially feasible, so I was back to looking at OTC products. I did not have much confidence that this stuff would work, because I've had little success with salicylic acid in the past, but this product my just have the right conbination. So far, I've been using it twice a day, in addition to using Panoxyl 10% scrub once a day. It's a little drying, and I will probably back it down to once a day once I get a better handle on the blemishes. I'm about a week and a half in, and the multitude of marks on my back that had accumulated over the last few months have subsided. They're in various stages of healing. But the best news is that I have had no new breakouts so far! My skin feels smooth, and I can feel that the inflammation has subsided. I feel like I'm inching closer to once again wearing tank tops, and just in time for the summer heat.
The only downsides to this product is that is can be drying, it burns upon application and can cause some redness, and the fumes when you spray it can be intense. I'm more than willing to overlook all of that if it keeps working! I'll post a follow-up with any changes.

This stuff really works
Wow, I am truly impressed. I've had trouble with my back for the last four years. I tried over the counter remedies, went to my regular doctor for perscriptions and even saw a dermatologist. I tried all different kinds of lotions (which my partner had to apply, yuck) and even changed my eating habits. Nothing worked for me, until I came across this spray. I saw a noticable difference within 3 days, it was amazing! The smell is a little off putting, it kind of burns if you breathe it in while applying, but for me that's a small price to pay. I just hold my breath for a few seconds. The smell dissipates very quickly. I have been using the Glytone spray for 2 weeks now and my back has completely cleared up. It is easy to use, sprays upside down as promised and even though I use it twice a day the bottle is still 2/3 full. I'm comfortable wearing a backless dress for my wedding tomorrow, how about that? I am so excited and wish I would have come across this spray years ago. It would have saved me so much agony and frustration.
