Alba Botanica ACNEdote Face & Body Scrub Details

A foaming acne-fighting scrub with maximum strength 2% salicylic acid, naturally derived from willow bark. Tough enough for back acne, gentle enough for daily facial cleansing. 227g.

2% is the ceiling for an over-the-counter salicylic acid product, so this is as strong as a non-prescription acne wash gets. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid, which means it is oil-soluble — it penetrates into the pore rather than working only on the surface, which is exactly why it suits blocked pores where a water-soluble acid would not reach.

Alba's formulation keeps working after you rinse, and adds finely ground walnut shell for physical exfoliation alongside the chemical action.

Face and body is the useful part. Most acne washes are sized and priced for the face alone, which makes treating back and shoulders expensive. At 227g this is built for both.

Oil free and non-comedogenic, so it will not block the pores it is meant to clear. No animal testing.

Who Alba Botanica ACNEdote Face & Body Scrub Is For

This is for anyone dealing with breakouts below the neckline as well as on the face — back, shoulders, chest. It suits daily use on the face or a few times a week as a deeper clean.

It contains walnut shell powder. That is the physical exfoliant, and it matters if you have a tree nut allergy. The scrub is also genuinely abrasive by design, so it is not the right choice over active inflamed cysts.

  • No Animal Testing — 227g, made in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

➕ What is Alba Botanica ACNEdote Face & Body Scrub?
A foaming acne scrub with maximum strength 2% salicylic acid from willow bark, for face, back and other acne-prone areas. 227g.
➕ How strong is 2% salicylic acid?
It is the maximum permitted in an over-the-counter acne product, so this is as strong as a non-prescription wash gets.
➕ Can I use it on my back?
Yes - that is what the size is for. Most acne washes are face-sized, which makes treating back and shoulders expensive.
➕ How often should I use it?
Every time you wash, or several times a week for a deeper clean.

Benefits of Ingredients

➕ Why salicylic acid rather than another acid?
It is oil-soluble, so it penetrates into the pore rather than working only on the surface. Water-soluble acids cannot reach a blocked pore the same way.
➕ What is the walnut shell for?
Finely ground walnut shell provides physical exfoliation alongside the chemical action of the salicylic acid. It is a tree nut ingredient.
➕ What does non-comedogenic mean?
It is formulated not to block pores, which matters on a product whose job is clearing them.

Usage and Storage

➕ How do I use it?
Use to cleanse face, back and other acne-prone areas. Scrub gently and rinse thoroughly.
➕ Is it too harsh for daily use?
Alba position it as gentle enough for daily facial cleansing, though a physical scrub is not the right choice over inflamed, active cysts.
➕ How should I store it?
At room temperature with the cap closed.

Use to cleanse face, back and other acne-prone areas every time you wash, or several times a week for a deep clean. Scrub gently. Rinse thoroughly.
