Does anyone have any recommendations for a body wash for my DC who is struggling with spots? Thank you

Q&A salicylic acid body wash is worth a try, it will do as much as a body wash can I expect, but chest/back acne is often hormonal so body wash probably won’t stop the spots, will just help them heal quicker and prevent scarring. Spoken from experience - I still suffer in my 40s!

Tea tree oil is very good. Or products containing it.

I’ve heard that hibiscrub is good

I've also got a salycylic spray that I can use on my back after the shower - think it is nip & fab

Cerave blemish control face wash, it’s fine on chest and back as well. That and la Roche Posay serozinc spray. ( currently on offer on Escentual website if you want to try)

If it's "bacne" (i.e. acne all over their back), I'd advise seeing a GP over going through the entire body wash section of Boots first. From experience, they're likely to suggest hibiscrub first, and a longer-term course of antibiotics next. For me, the antibiotics solved it, and I haven't had a horrendously spotty back since.

My son uses the clearasil pads to clean anywhere he gets spotty. It works really well for him.

Another vote for hibiwash. It’s also worth checking that your DC is making sure they rinse conditioner off their back if they use it on their hair.
