I used to struggle with body acne when I was younger, so I bought the Oatmeal Spot Buster Body Spray. I was still just beginning to figure out my skin type, so I thought spraying this all over my back and chest would help clear up the acne I had in those areas. Instead of clearing the spots, it seemed to cause a flare-up on my skin and everything became worse. I ended up doing plenty of research, and it turns out that my skin may have been too dry/sensitive for me to apply this all over. I started applying the formula directly to the spots (and the spots only) with a cotton bud. This definitely helped clear them up, but I just found the formula to be too drying to spray directly onto large areas of my skin. If your skin isn't sensitive or dry, this might work for you.
