I suggest you try mudflats then follow up with spritzing the tea tree toner. It sure helped me!

Are you taking any medication that can cause it? My husband has horrible bacne (to the point of boils) that are caused by his meds.

no meds, non-smoker, healthy eater, and drinker of lots of water.

there has been a lot of great suggestions and great thinking, thank you all!

Mud flats seems to get a lot of credit here and it sounds like a good thing to try.

It always seemed to make sense: controlling break-outs on the face and back should come from the same school. I wash, tone and moisturize my face everyday and do a mask a few times a week for a month- I should treat my back the same.

Again thank you all!

Beside Lush products...you sound like a candidate for Accutane.
I took it and it worked SO well, but apparently I got off it too soon because mine came back :(

I agree with accutane, but only as the LAST resort.
Low dose of antibiotics (specifically for acne) would probably be the next route to take. For me this cleared up all of my body acne, but not my face acne.

Is it possible that you have undiagnosed food allergies? If you're eating things your body can't digest, odds are it will try to excrete the perceived toxins through the skin. Ask me how I know. :/
