Pros:

This has helped my acne immensely. Better than anything else, I believe.

Cons:

It does nothing for actual skin condition. So it doesn't help if your skin is oily, just in controlling the acne.

This stuff is great. But as I said, it doesn't improve your skin's condition. So, I have a great alpha cleanser that I use in the morning, which keeps me grease-free. Then I use Hibiclens at night. I'm also using other treatments, so it's hard to say if this alone is doing the trick, but it's certainly helping. ALSO, when breakouts seem to get a little bit worse, I sometimes apply a thin layer before bed and leave it like a mask. Clears it up overnight. I highly recommend.

Pros:

I have staph infection (never had before)tried hibiclens. I'm 39 years- my face was very oily growing up with bad breakouts and has continued to be oiler than most my age with mild breakouts. My skin looks beautiful in the wk I've used it. Wow!

Cons:

Expensive and you go through it quickly for using all over (which my doctor has recommended for the staph boils for one month). I am hoping my skin won't get used to it and stop responding. I have never had such nice skin since I was a child.

My skin looks porcelain now. The inflammation is gone. I also started taking 1 fish oil and 1 flax seed oil twice a day about a year ago, that really improved my skin also. I tried a sun lamp to dry it out when I was 14, my skin has freckle damage from getting 2nd degree burns (fell asleep, what a dummy). When I recall my worst breakouts, it was 9th grade, the year I at sweets all of the time and hardly any vegetables or protein. Chocolate does effect skin because too much can irritate and sugar is actual poisonous for us. All of those things that dry out the surface do NOOOOOO Good! Don't waste money, eat vegetables please kids! I know it sucked for me having oily skin and breakouts. Hibiclens gave me an unexpected bonus killing bacteria. To get off my makeup I used an olive oil and glycerine french soap for 4.99 at Trader Joes and then I use the hibiclens lightly. I am on my third bottle of hibiclens for all over body cleansing for staph in 1 1/2 weeks.

Pros:

Cheap! Easily accessible! Smells good!

Cons:

I don't have any cons.

Hiblicens works! I had a flare up of acne and used it just because I ran out of Neosporin ointment and had it handy. Could not believe the results. Skin was clear the next day and even clearer the day after. Cheap fix for a 20 year problem! Thank GOD! Finally.

Pros:

doesn't dry, no allergic reactions or sensitivity and my skin is usually VERY VERY sensitive!

Cons:

I've been using it for 3 days now...and the situation on my chin has gotten worse!!! the existing pimples/boils have dried up well though, but there are three-four more emerging! Does it get worse, before it gets better?

....time will tell!

Pros:

Works great on breakouts. Sometimes I cleanse my face with it but I can veen dab it on a pimple or red spot and it is gone the next morning!

Cons:

Warning about getting in eyes and ears

Why pay for that expensive stuff from the dermatologist that doesn't work nearly as well?

Pros:

This product works miracles on my acne; nothing else has worked, even prescriptions! We use this in the medical office where I work and that is how I found out about it. I think I may be the only one, but I LOVE the smell...you know you're clean!

Cons:

Liquid is too thin and you go through it quickly.

This product is definitely worth trying! It has worked better than anything else for me! I LOVE HIBICLENS!!
