The Edyt Score

4.2 / 5.0

Key ingredients 4.3/5

A 2% salicylic acid body wash in a 16.9-ounce bottle. A real BHA dose for body breakouts.

Targets 4.2/5

For back and chest acne, or bumpy arms. Too strong as a face wash if you already use acids.

Formula standards 4.2/5

A big bottle that feels like a normal wash. It can dry you out. Lotion after.

The verdict

Worth it if body acne is the problem. Give it weeks, not three showers.
