It depends on what type of acne you have on your back and chest - do you have mostly noninflamed bumps or are they red and inflamed?

If they are noninflamed, try a strong exfoliant - use a scrub and strong AHA like glycolic or mandelic.

If they are inflamed use a strong benzoyl peroxide - leave it on all night (but wear a white t-shirt so you don't bleach your pj's or sheets!). Also, consider getting a benzoyl peroxide solution with some sulfur in it - it makes the bpo stronger and more anti-inflammatory. Do NOT use a scrub to cleanse your back if you have this kind of acne.

Check your body soap for pore-clogging ingredients and make sure your laundry soap is fragrance free and has no water-softeners in it. Avoid using fabric softener and/or dryer sheets because they can leave a waxy residue on your clothes and sheets that will exacerbate your acne.

Below is a list of pore-clogging ingredients you should avoid. Good luck!
