The skin on your trunk (chest, shoulders, and back) is thicker and has different sebaceous gland distribution than your face, making body acne notoriously stubborn. While face washes can help, treating body acne effectively usually requires a specialized retinoid that can penetrate thicker skin without bleaching your clothes (like Benzoyl Peroxide might). We recommend speaking to a dermatologist about Aklief, which contains Trifarotene—a next-generation prescription retinoid uniquely studied and approved to target stubborn acne on both the face and the trunk.
