Paula's Choice CLEAR Exfoliating Back & Body Acne Spray 4 fl oz — 2% BHA Salicylic Acid, Alcohol- & Fragrance-Free

Paula's Choice CLEAR Exfoliating Back & Body Acne Spray is a 2% salicylic acid (BHA) spray that exfoliates skin, helps clear clogged pores and reduces body breakouts without added fragrance or alcohol.

This lightweight, spray-on treatment is formulated for acne on the back, chest and other hard-to-reach areas. The convenient nozzle works at any angle so you can target bumps, blackheads and uneven texture while a gentle base helps calm redness. It pairs well with a clear-skin routine and is designed for regular use on body skin prone to acne and congestion.

How does this spray treat body acne effectively?

The formula uses 2% salicylic acid (a beta-hydroxy acid) to penetrate pores, slough away dead skin cells and loosen oil and debris that trap bacteria and cause bumps. Its spray format allows even coverage over larger areas, promoting clearer-looking skin without heavy creams.

• 2% salicylic acid (BHA) for pore exfoliation and oil control
• Spray applicator reaches back, shoulders and chest easily
• Alcohol- and fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk

Will this irritate sensitive or redness-prone body skin?

Paula's Choice designed the product without fragrance and without irritating denaturants, which helps lower the chance of stinging for many users. Start with once-daily use on smaller areas to assess tolerance, then increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

• Fragrance-free formula minimizes sensitizing ingredients
• Alcohol-free base helps preserve moisture and comfort
• Gradual introduction advised for reactive skin types

How should I incorporate this into my skincare routine?

Use the spray after cleansing and before any moisturizing steps. For best results pair it with compatible Paula's Choice body or facial products—avoid layering other strong actives at the same spot until you know how your skin reacts.

• Apply to clean, dry skin—hold can at any angle for full coverage
• Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer if needed
• Complement with gentle cleansers and sunscreen on exposed areas

How quickly can I expect to see changes?

Visible improvement in texture and fewer breakouts can appear in a few weeks with consistent use, though individual results vary. Continued use helps keep pores clearer and reduces recurrence of clogged follicles.

• Regular use supports gradual reduction in blackheads and bumps
• Consistency matters—benefits build over several weeks
• Combine with a full CLEAR regimen for more comprehensive results
