The acne body wash by Curology is a dermatologist-designed body wash that treats and helps prevent acne—plus cleanses your pores of regular dirt and grime.

How does the acne body wash work?

Our dermatologists formulated the acne body wash to treat body acne for people of all skin types. The key ingredient is salicylic acid, which cleanses pores of acne-causing gunk, from old skin cells to dirt and oil. Our perfectly calibrated 2% formula does the job without tending to irritate healthy skin. It goes on smooth and leaves skin feeling clean and soft!


What type of skin does this work for?

The acne body wash has a gentle 2% salicylic acid formula that was designed for all skin types! 


What are the key ingredients in the acne body wash?

Our key ingredient is salicylic acid (aka BHA, or beta hydroxy acid), which is great at dislodging the dead skin cells that accumulate in your pores, encouraging exfoliation and preventing the buildup of sebum and debris that can trigger acne breakouts. Our perfectly calibrated 2% formula does the job without tending to irritate healthy skin. Another benefit of salicylic acid is that it also helps decrease inflammation! You can read more about BHAs in our guide.
