I got body acne from my sweaty job – my 3-step routine knocked it out in a month
SUMMER is here and the hot weather means people are sweating up a storm.
A woman shared their shower routine that knocks out body acne from sweat in just a matter of months.
Redditor Orangeypeach shared the beauty routine in a post.
She explained that she struggled with excessive sweating in a reply.
“I had the same problem so I did a ton of research and started using the PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash (10% Benzoyl Peroxide Maximum Strength) every time I shower,” she said.
The $10 body wash, she said, helped immensely in conjunction with two other products.
She revealed that after a fresh shower, she moisturized with Cerave’s $14 SA Lotion for Rough and Bumpy Skin.
Once the moisturizer has properly sunk into the skin, she layered Neutrogena’s $14 Stubborn Body Ace Treatment Spray over it.
Although it may seem excessive, she explained that the routine worked quickly to eliminate body acne.
‘It took around a month for my chest and bacne to almost completely go away, I swear to god!” she said.
Amazon reviewers raved about the efficiency of the PanOxyl body wash, which they said smoothed their skin.
“This is one of my must-have products; if it were ever discontinued, I’d be heartbroken,” said one reviewer.
“First of all, it smells incredibly clean. It’s like washing myself in a soft, gentle, fresh bleach—sounds strange, but it makes me feel so clean and refreshed.
“I especially love using it on my armpits because it helps with any unwanted smells. It’s amazing.
“Whenever I’ve run out of this stuff, I end up with a bunch of zits on my nose, so I know it helps keep things at bay,” they added.
“The fresh, clean scent is addictive. There’s zero perfume smell and no weird fragrances that bother me. It just smells great.
“However, it does dry out my daughter’s skin. Her skin is more dry and sensitive than mine. Mine tends to be on the oily side, so I can really marinate in it.
“If she stops using it though her face breaks out so we limit her to only using it only a few times a week and she uses a deep thick moisturizer.”
Others shared similar great results with the product.
“I bought this wash specifically to use in my armpits to reduce overall odor,” wrote another.
“I am very pleased with how well it works for that. I use it on my face every here and there as it is quite strong and tends to dry my face skin out.
“Works awesome for reducing pimple scarring over time. My only qualm is that if you don’t rinse it off REALLY well, you will bleach your towel when you go to dry your skin.”
