Three products. One complete system for clearer back and body skin.
Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Wash – £12 (250ml)
The in-shower exfoliating body wash formulated to tackle back acne, body breakouts, strawberry skin, KP and rough skin texture in a single step.
Key Ingredients:
- 5% Glycolic Acid — gold-standard AHA for body exfoliation. Dissolves dead skin cell buildup, clears pore-blocking congestion and improves the texture and tone of post-breakout skin. Its small molecular size allows efficient penetration through thicker body skin where other AHAs struggle.
- 5% Lactic Acid — amplifies Glycolic Acid’s exfoliation while conditioning. Leaves skin softer and smoother — not tight or dry — after every use.
- Built-in exfoliating brush head — delivers the formula evenly across the hardest-to-reach areas of the back. Circular motions boost ingredient distribution for consistent, all-over results.
How to Use:
Wet skin. Attach the brush head and apply to your back, chest, shoulders and arms. Work into a lather using circular motions for 30–60 seconds across all affected areas. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with the Salicylic Acid Cleanser for a full in-shower routine, or use alone on lower-intensity days. Moisturise post-shower. Apply SPF to exposed treated areas in the morning.
Use: 2–3 times per week. Can be used daily if skin tolerates well.

Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick – £15 (45g)
Allure Best of Beauty 2025 · As seen in Vogue, Glamour, SheerLuxe & Women’s Health
The targeted, leave-on treatment stick clinically proven to visibly reduce body breakouts in 7 days.* No rinsing. No mess. Direct application to where it’s needed most.
Key Ingredients:

Salicylic Acid Cleanser – £12 (150ml)
As seen in Glamour, Vogue, Grazia & Marie Claire · INKEY Bestseller
INKEY’s bestselling BHA cleanser – formulated for the face, and explicitly recommended for blemish-prone areas of the body including the back, chest and arms. Where AHAs exfoliate the surface, Salicylic Acid goes inside the pore.
Key Ingredients:
- 2% Salicylic Acid — the maximum OTC BHA concentration. Oil-soluble, so it dissolves into the sebum inside the pore and clears the blockage at its source. Also antibacterial and anti-inflammatory — addressing both the cause and the symptoms of active back breakouts.
- Zinc compound — regulates excess oil production without stripping or drying the skin.
- 0.5% Allantoin — soothes and calms to prevent irritation on daily use, making the formula suitable for consistent, regular application.
- pH 4.5–5.0 — optimised for maximum Salicylic Acid activity.
How to Use on the Back:
In the shower, apply a generous amount to damp back and chest skin after your body wash step. Massage in circular motions for 60 seconds – the active needs contact time to work. Rinse thoroughly. Can be used daily on the back and chest, or on alternate days alongside the Glycolic Acid Body Wash.
Clinical Results:
- 90% agree skin looks visibly clearer after just 3 days*
- 93% agree skin instantly looks less oily*
- 92% agree skin did not feel tight or stripped*
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding safe
