I received this Salicylic acid body wash in a PR package along with Deconstruct Fluid Brightening sunscreen sometime in June. I started using the body wash in July and haven’t even able to finish half of it till now. I really like the exfoliating body wash and let’s check it’s review!

Packaging Texture and Fragrance
The product is packed in a transparent, plastic bottle with a flip top cap. I like the transparent packaging which makes see through easy to check for the quantity remaining. The texture is soft, gel and consistency is little thick. I like the thick consistency as it prevents accidental extra dispense. The product is free from fragrance and has green cellulose beads in it. The beads need to be crushed I think.
My experience with Deconstruct Salicylic Acid Body Wash
The body wash lathers pretty easy but due to thick consistency one needs to spread it well. It not only gets washed off easily but also hydrates and cleanses the skin very well. The consistency of the gel is pretty thick and you don’t need a lot, so one bottle is going to last you quite some time.
The body wash is formulated to exfoliate skin to prevent breakouts & reduce back acne. I do suffer from back acne and this has been helpful so far in reducing the occurrence of them. Whenever I give a break of one week while using the body wash, I end up getting one or two small zits on my upper back. However, they quickly subside when I again start using it. It has also reduced the underarm odour with regular use of two months. I usually alternate this body wash with Mom’s Co body wash.
Deconstruct body wash is the perfect solution if you are looking for gentle exfoliation to keep back acne and very mild Keratosis pilaris at bay. I experience mild Keratosis pilaris on my thighs and whenever I use the body wash, the next day I can see the exfoliated skin on the small bumps. Additionally, I have never experienced any itching, dryness while using this body wash. As a precaution, one must not use much hot water while using an exfoliating body wash.
Summing Up
Deconstruct Salicylic Acid body wash is a good, beginner friendly exfoliating body wash. It keeps back acne, body odour and mild Keratosis Pillaris at bay with regular and consistent use. It works well on cleansing the skin while being gentle and not drying out the skin Overall, I really like this body wash and would highly recommend you to check this one out. It’s totally worth the price.
