for specific products im not too sure..but im sure that the other ladies on the board can help you with that  but i definitely think you should exfoliate your back every time your in the shower..that will help the scars fade |

Yes, exfoliation is the way to go! And a product with AHAs can help fade the scars. MD Formulations Face & Body Scrub is good and has a high concentration of AHAs in it. Mind you, it's rather hard to use a scrub on your back I suppose... So you could try using a firm brush and getting an AHA shower gel or using one of the new spray AHA products for "hard to reach" places like your back. If you prefer the spray type then you could try the MD Formulations Body Clearing Complex Spray. From memory MDF, DDF and Peter Thomas Roth make AHA shower gels with decent AHA concentrations. Other brands may do as well but these are the ones I am aware of.

I've the same problem. So unhappy ar!
For cleansing, I use Ivory soap
For scrub, I DIY. Mix aloe vera gel, tea tree essential oil, salt, kaolin, green bean powder
After taking the shower, I apply 2% BHA liquid solution with cotton pad. The brand is Paula's Choice.
I've used up my first bottle, I will keep using it.
I've tried to use retin-A. But it makes me getting more acne and of course acne mark also. Although some parts of my body's acne marks are removed, retin-A makes me left more in other part. 
Don't try retin-A! |

| sometimes the shampoo/conditioner your using could be the result of body acne. Switch to another shampoo and see if the problem will go away....if not then go for a body cleanser. If your back acne is really bothering you and your a girl....some birth control really helps with this. I used to have bad back acne a few months ago ( i guess it was a hormonal thing) then i started taking Yasmin Birth control pills and washing myself with Tea tree oil cleanser and it has totally disappeared, i havent had one pimple on my back for over a month (knock on wood) So im not sure if it's the Birth control pill or tea tree cleanser or both. |
