Is heat, humidity and deep conditioning turning your upper back into a field of unsightly blemishes? You're not alone. 'Tis the season for icky back acne. Even those of us who can boast about blemish-free facial skin in even the stickiest of weather seem to suffer from the curse of "bacne" come summer. Not one for multi-step treatments or strict regimen, I went in search of an simple solution to summer back acne and, surprisingly, came up with a winner.

If "bacne" is your curse, then Neutrogena Rapid Clear Treatment Pads are your salvation. These easy to use salicylic acid pads make quick work of bothersome back acne. To banish the "bacne" I used one pad on my upper back each morning, after combing out my long hair and smoothing on my daily sunscreen in order to sweep away any remaining lotion or conditioner that may have strayed onto my shoulders. Less than a quarter of the way into one 60-count tub my summer back acne was a thing of the past. I now maintain with one pad every other day. Less than 10 seconds a day to banish summer back acne? Fabulous.
