I have always had a

"I have always had a problem with bacne and never really did anything about it. This bacne spray is AMAZING. It took away my bacne and is cheap for a Dermologica product which I love! I dont normally review products in general, but felt this one deserved a review!"

— Marie S. (5/5)

The answer

"This will clear your bacne hands down. I wish I had started using it sooner. Even when I get a breakout now, it is almost clear with one or two uses. Don’t hesitate."

— Carrie (5/5)

Works great

"I recently started having hormonal breakouts possibly perimenopausal, and I’ve been using this after the shower and after I sweat for 2-3 weeks, and my back is either clear or healing at this point. I love the smell and how it reaches all the hard to reach areas. I was afraid it was more for young adults but im 38 and it’s definitely doing the trick. Recommend %100"

— Carrie (5/5)

Even over fifty need bacne relief!

Q&A

Can you use it after a workout (before showering): Hello Allison, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. Yes you may, and then apply again after showering to clean, dry skin! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Does it get rid of blemishes? That acne scar left behind: Hello Lea, The clarifying bacne spray does not specifically target acne scarring however it reduces and helps to prevent current breakouts, as well as subsides redness within the area. Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Can this be used on the front of the neck?: Hello Maddy, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. You are welcome to use the clarifying bacne spray on the chest as well, this would not be meant for use on the face however. To target acne on the neck, you can use all of the products that you use on the face, on the neck area as well to help target this concern! Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Does this product contain retinoids/ high concentrations of vitamin A?: Hello Adele, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. The clarifying bacne spray does not contain retinol Kind Regards Willow Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist
Hello! I'm currently using the Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash and Post Breakout Fix on my chest and back and it's been working really well. But I still have some acne that pops up from time to time. Am I able to use this spray after the Post Breakout Fix to get rid of the stubborn acne that pops up? Or how can I incorporate it into my routine?: Hello Kas, Thank you for your question. Here is a recommendation to use these products in addressing your acne concerns: Start with Clarifying Bacne Spray all over the breakout-prone area to keep skin clear. Once breakouts begin to resolve, apply Post-Breakout Fix only where needed on leftover dark spots. Be consistent, and always follow with SPF during the day if areas are exposed (even on the body!) to help prevent further pigmentation. I hope this information helps. Kindly, Sandra
