Salicylic Acid Body Cleanser That Targets Back & Body Breakouts
Murad Acne Body Wash (8.5 fl oz) is a daily, acne-fighting body cleanser formulated to help clear existing blemishes and prevent new ones. It pairs 1.0% salicylic acid with polishing physical exfoliants to unclog pores and smooth rough, bump-prone areas on the back, chest, and shoulders. Glycolic acid and date seed powder lift pore-clogging oil and dead skin cells, while a fresh lather rinses clean without heavy residue. A calming blend, including green tea and licorice root extracts, helps comfort skin so it feels clean—not stripped. Use it in the shower to keep body acne in check and skin texture refined.
Designed for balanced, oily, and combination skin types dealing with “bacne” and body congestion, this cleanser supports a clearer-looking complexion below the neck. The formula combines chemical exfoliation (salicylic and glycolic acids) with gentle physical buffing from date seed powder to help keep pores clear of debris. Antioxidant-rich green tea plus soothing licorice root extracts temper visible redness and irritation associated with breakouts. With consistent use, the look of clogged pores and surface roughness diminishes, and skin appears smoother and more even.
- Who it’s best for: Balanced, oily, or combination skin with body breakouts on back, chest, and shoulders
- What makes it different: Triple-action approach—1% salicylic acid + glycolic acid + date seed powder—to treat, prevent, and visibly smooth body acne in one step
Due to manufacturer updates, packaging may vary from the image shown. Please note the product formulation remains the same.

How To Use Murad Acne Body Wash
- In the shower, massage a small amount over damp skin on areas prone to breakouts (back, chest, shoulders).
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Use daily, morning and/or evening; follow with your Murad Step 2 treatment and body moisturizer as needed.
Pro Tip (from estheticians): Let the lather sit on breakout-prone areas for 60–90 seconds before rinsing to give salicylic and glycolic acids extra contact time, then rinse well.
