Lather. Wait thirty. Rinse.
A BHA wash only works if it sits. Thirty seconds of contact is the whole trick.
Lather on damp skin
Work over back, chest, shoulders, arms, thighs — anywhere congested.
Leave it on — count thirty
The salicylic needs contact time to get into the pore. Rinse your hair while it works.
Rinse, then moisturise
Rinse well. Follow with a non-active moisturiser. SPF on exposed skin the next day.

What 4 weeks actually looks like
The pack says clears body acne in 4 weeks — here is how that actually plays out on skin.
Skin feels cleaner
Less oil by evening, fewer new clogged pores forming. Existing bumps have not moved yet.
New breakouts slow down
The pore-clearing starts showing — fewer fresh spots, texture starts smoothing.
Existing congestion clears
Older bumps flatten and clear. Marks they leave fade slower — that is the niacinamide lane.

Straight answers.
1% vs 2% salicylic — which to pick?
1% is the daily-use gentle entry. 2% is for more stubborn bacne or strawberry-skin breakouts. Start at 1% if you’ve never used BHA on body.
Daily use?
Yes — 1% is calibrated for daily use; reduce if any tingling.
Wear SPF the next day?
Yes — salicylic increases sun sensitivity. Pair with Daily Dose SPF 50.
Who should skip this one?
If your skin is already dry, tight or actively irritated, a BHA wash will make that worse before it helps — treat the dryness first. If you've never used a body acid, this is the right place to start; if 1% has stopped doing anything after 6 weeks, you've outgrown it and should move to the 2%.
How long does one bottle last?
A 236ml bottle is roughly 45–50 showers when you use it on breakout zones rather than head-to-toe — about six to eight weeks of daily use. You need a coin-sized amount, not a handful.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Unopened and sealed, it's returnable within 14 days. Once opened we can't take personal-care products back for hygiene reasons — so start at the lowest frequency on the label and give it the full 4 weeks before you judge it. If it arrives damaged or wrong, photograph it within 48 hours and we replace it free. Our team will help you adjust frequency rather than leave you stuck with something that isn't working.
