Alternatives to Hero Body Brave (RIP)
As of now, this is the best thing I have found to replace the Hero Body Brave spray. This is good for both prevention and treatment of KP and body acne. Doesn't dry me out. Can spray upside down. It does have a scent but it isn't overpowering. I like that it has Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Lactic Acid, along with soothing ingredients. It is good but it still isn't AS GOOD or as soothing as the Hero spray :(
Good for both KP and body acne. It works but it takes longer to work because it is so gentle. I think this is a good option for prevention and then you may want to use something else for treatment.
Love the continuous mist on this and it is definitely effective at clearing up back acne, but I found it a little drying and left my back itchy. Love that it doesn't have any scent. Because it is drying I found it better for acne than KP (my KP does better when my skin is NOT dry)
Love the continuous 360 mist on this but I don't love that it has a strong tea tree oil scent. It also dried me out slightly. Worked well at clear up back acne though. Because it is drying I found it better for acne than KP (my KP does better when my skin is NOT dry)
Great option for Preventing back acne because the Naturium or Dermalogica was too drying for me to use it to both treat and then prevent.

I like that this has PHA along with Salicylic Acid, but the scent is so strong and it makes me sneeze and makes my eyes water whenever I use it. So it just isn't for me. (Note: you can spray this upside down which is nice)
I love the ingredients on this and I thought this was going to be the best replacement for the Hero body brave. However, the scent is what makes me not like it. To me it smells like urine that has dried up on fabric. Granted, scents are very subjective and if you don't smell that then this would be a great option for both KP and body acne.
