Backne? Say Goodbye To Them With The Help Of These 12 Products

This article was first published on 23 February 2022. 

Acne disappearing after puberty is probably one of the biggest myths we discovered when we hit young adulthood. This is because acne is often a result of hormone fluctuation, which is normal as we age. There are also other factors like our diets, lifestyles, and general hygiene that contribute to how or why we get acne. And yes, they don’t just pop up on our faces but in other parts of our body, too.

While acne can’t be permanently cured, there are ways to lessen intense (and painful) breakouts and deal with post-acne marks. And while there are many face acne treatments in the market nowadays, finding products specifically for body acne can be challenging. Don’t worry, we got you! Below, body care products available in Singapore that’ll help you deal with back acne (and more) even at home.
