Salicylic acid penetrates to eliminate bumps, pimples, and blackheads while soothing and calming reddened skin. There are no harsh ingredients that can cause more problems for your skin. It dries quickly and is gentle, non-irritating, and alcohol-free, which means skin won’t feel dry or tight. It is even suitable for skin prone to cystic acne.

Spray CLEAR Acne Body Spray evenly over affected areas. Spray on and rub in with hands or applicator for hard-to-reach areas. Allow to dry, then follow with moisturizer if desired. Do not spray directly onto face.

If you have a salicylate allergy, check with your physician before using any products that contain salicylic acid.

Both options are great for bumpy skin and even suitable for skin prone to keratosis pilaris because they contain 2% BHA, an ingredient that can visibly reduce bumps and clogged pores.

What’s the difference between CLEAR Acne Body Spray and 2% BHA Liquid?

Both products have identical concentrations of salicylic acid. However, the body spray contains additional soothing ingredients designed to help reduce redness and sensitivity — two issues that are often more prominent when acne occurs from the neck down. Many people prefer the spray, as its water-light formula is better for larger areas where breakouts or bumps are a concern.

Can I use CLEAR Acne Body Spray on my face?

Yes, the ingredients in CLEAR Acne Body Spray are fine for facial use. We don't advise spraying it directly onto your face — instead, spray it into your palms first then lightly smooth over your face, avoiding the eye and mouth area.

Will this product bleach or stain my clothing?

When applied as directed, this product should not stain clothing or bed linens since it does not contain bleaching agents. Using this with a benzoyl peroxide product can have a bleaching effect on fabrics. In this case, we recommend waiting approximately 15 minutes for products to dry before dressing or bed linen contact.
