I have struggled with back acne since I was 12. It’s been embarrassing and demoralizing. As a teenager, I made it my mission to simply cover it up–lots of layers and no backless tops, even when it was 90 degrees out. In my 20s, I finally started seeing a dermatologist, and it took sleeping with a benzoyl peroxide topical antibiotic ointment on my back each night to finally clear the blemishes. This also necessitated me sleeping on a towel, since the peroxide would bleach anything it came in contact with. I’m not kidding when I say this was the only thing that worked. I had tried pretty much every OTC product out there, but it was the anitbiotic that made the difference.
Yada, yada, yada, the dream of a clear back ended when my insurance changed and I was forced to pay for the medication out of pocket–$200-$400 every two months. Well, that was not financially feasible, so I was back to looking at OTC products. I did not have much confidence that this stuff would work, because I’ve had little success with salicylic acid in the past, but this product my just have the right conbination. So far, I’ve been using it twice a day, in addition to using Panoxyl 10% scrub once a day. It’s a little drying, and I will probably back it down to once a day once I get a better handle on the blemishes. I’m about a week and a half in, and the multitude of marks on my back that had accumulated over the last few months have subsided. They’re in various stages of healing. But the best news is that I have had no new breakouts so far! My skin feels smooth, and I can feel that the inflammation has subsided. I feel like I’m inching closer to once again wearing tank tops, and just in time for the summer heat.
The only downsides to this product is that is can be drying, it burns upon application and can cause some redness, and the fumes when you spray it can be intense. I’m more than willing to overlook all of that if it keeps working! I’ll post a follow-up with any changes.

I’ve always had problems with acne on my back. I’ve tried wearing only cotton (because it “breathes” better than synthetic fabrics); I’ve tried changing my eating habits; I’ve tried several cleansing products such as Neutrogena salicylic acid treatment for in-shower use. I had yet to find something to really clear things up, and was getting really frustrated. My very light, sensitive skin is now becoming dotted with scars from previous spots as well as new spots cropping up every few days. I hate the way it looks and it affects what I wear, because I feel so self-conscious of my skin on my upper and even lower back.
Recently, I became desperate for a fix to this problem, as I will be in two weddings this summer and both bridesmaids dresses show a lot of the back. I’d seen Glytone advertised before, but it seemed pricey to me. At this point, I was desperate and just wanted to find something – anything to help- and thought, what the heck – it’s worth a try! I’ve been using it 2X a day for 4 days and WOW — major changes already. The blemishes I had are healing/drying up quickly and for the first time in years I don’t notice any new spots forming.
This is huge. I have never had this kind of success with a product for non-facial acne. I was skeptical about the “upside-down” spray function and whether it would really work. It definitely does. It’s easy and quick and really does work. I’ve been using probably more often than I should just to get things cleared up quickly, and then once things clear up, I’ll probably use it a couple times a week to maintain it. Used 2-3 times a week, this bottle should last a few months.
The ONLY complaint I have is the smell. If I forget to hold my breathe or walk out of the bathroom immediately after using it, the vapors irritate my throat and lungs. To be fair, the directions say to spray it in a well-ventilated area. The smell is slightly off-putting (chemical smell) but goes away as soon as it dries. Overall, these slight unpleasant aspects are definitely worth the results.

Im a 26 year old female and ive had bacne since my early teens. Its been literrally a decade long battle with it. Ive been in nirvana ever since i discovered Glytone and DDF products. I try to stay away from DDF products because of animal testing, theyre owned by proctor and gamble, enough said. Glytone, to the extent of my knowledge (google research, correct me if im wrong, please) do not do animal testing, so thats a plus. Ive experimented with alot of products and havent had much success except with glycolic acid based products, my skin since then has done a complete 180. Pity i didnt discover it sooner.
Ok so, i got this a few weeks ago and have been using it daily. Its Salycic acid content is high compared to that of the Murad bacne spray which did absolutely nothing for me.
This spray hasnt done much in the way of CONTROLLING my bacne but its done wonders in drying up the blemishes. My back stays oil-free (ive got very oily skin) and it has started flaking (the marks). It stings initially, for about 2-3 seconds. To be on the safe side, i suggest anyone new to these acids should do a patch test on their skin first. I havent had any reaction, i guess i have very tough skin (face included).
It stinks! It stinks, and it stinks! Beware! Use this spray in an open area so you wont suffocate, put on a mask, or hold ur breath. I just hold my breath for a few seconds 🙂 .
Also, this spray is very easy to apply, u can flip the bottle upside down to reach places u otherwise wouldnt be able to reach urself. But what i have noticed is that when i turn the bottle upside down to spray it sort of leaks through the spray hole and gets on my hand. I just take that excess and apply it to my chest (ive got blemishes there, im hopeless- *sigh*). Ive also started usng the glytone bodywash for faster results, will update if it works. For faster results u can use it twice a day if u have oily skin like i do, im just lazy to spray twice, ottherwise i would. Some people might experience a very dry back so dont go overboard, start off with once a day and increase gradually.
So, go for it if you’re looking for something that works and youve been struggling with acne as i have. Highly recommended!
ETA 9/26/13: I stopped using product and recently started using this product again a few months ago. my bacne has cleared up and it keeps the pimples at bay BUT they sort of return if u stop using it for an extended period. i stopped inbtween for about 2 weeks and the pimples started surfacing. but its not crazy acne, just a few pimples here and there.
