Hibiclens : Antimicrobial and Antiseptic Skin Cleanser

I needed a quick fix for my sudden t-zone acne that sprouted up with the coming of winter. I went off my hormone meds for two weeks which was a stupid mistake. I started breaking out on my forehead, nose, and inner cheek area. The Hibiclens, when used twice a day, has cleared all of this up within 3 days. No joke! It is really powerful stuff as evidenced by the dry skin I am having to deal with now, but that will subside. I would recommend cleansing and leaving this on your face for up to 5 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly and leave it at that! I know it might be tempting to put on moisturizer right afterwards, but that will cause the cleanser to lose its effectiveness. By the way, Walgreens has a generic product just like this with the same ingredients and is about 4 dollars cheaper.

If you have not had any luck with acne medicines (with sal. acid etc.), give Hibiclens a try. (Read the directions.) Good luck.

Try this product! I have only been using it for a week and have noticed dramatic results. My brother had a staph infection and used hibiclens. I saw the bottle sitting on his bathroom counter and thought hey, I bet you could use this for acne too! After I found the rave reviews, I tried it and am so glad I did! Nothing else has worked as well or as fast for me!

Got it at Walgreens for 12 bucks and it has helped clear me up to about 97% clear along with my regimen. Highly recommended if used correctly...remember to moisturize!

I am 67 and have suffered from adult acne since my teens. (I had the worst case the doctors had seen when a teenager.) I used Phisohex for years (you used to be able to buy it OTC for about $25/gal.) When it became unavailable by prescription a few years back, my family physician recommended Hibiclens. My facial skin is very oily, so a daily cleanse helps even now. I'm a scientist and I don't see potential for serious harm in using it. As with any medication, be alert for reactions or unusual changes in complexion.

THIS WILL NOT CAUSE BLINDNESS IF YOU GET IT IN YOUR EYES!!!! This is used for surgical scrub for patients and caregivers hands sometimes. That is why this warning is on here, not to be used in or near eyes during surgical procedures where it can pool for long periods. If you get it in your eyes: RINSE WELL. THAT IS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

use it with the regimen, put it on problem areas with a cotton swap and wash it off before you put on dans BP and then continue the regimen as directed

At 27 years old, after 13 years of severe cystic acne, my skin is finally clear. I began using Hibiclens about three weeks ago and have not had a single pimple since. Normally, my chin is covered with painful, inflamed cystic acne. I use the product by wiping it on my skin with a cotton ball. I let it sit on my skin for 5-10 minutes and then wash off. While it is on my skin it does feel drying but as soon as I wash it off my skin feels amazing.

I actually discovered this by accident after my bf left his bottle of it by the sink and I washed m face with it because we had no other soap. Literally the next day my skin was less oily and many of the sore acne spots and cysts had either gone completely or were much less red and irritated. After a week I looked as if I never had acne in my life and I have had it for 20 long terrible years! I tried everything throughout my life to keep it in check, but absolutely nothing worked ever except this! I could cry right now because I am so thankful for this product! I also use it when I shave an area of m body because I always got terrible painful shaving rashes and ugly ingrown hairs in embarrassing places- I just use this after I shave and- No more bumps!! Try this product! I see in the reviews it does not work for everyone, but it's cheap and really worth a try!!

I had very nice skin 7 months ago...I didn't even have to wear much foundation at all, but I was taking topamax to prevent stress-related migraines and unfortunately, had an adverse reaction that didn't show up until several months after I was on the medication. I started getting sores/cystic acne on my forehead, cheeks, and a bit under my neck. I had a lot of scars and redness. I am allergic to so many medications that the dermatologist basically told me that I had to take accutane or else he couldn't help me. I said no to accutane, so he tried to give me other antibiotics, but failed to recognize that I could not take them because they were in the same family as things I am allergic to. I gave up on the dermatologist and decided to take things into my own hands. I was doing research online and found this website, so I joined and started to read the reviews of different products. This one had a high rating, so I picked some up and only after a couple of days of using it, it started to smooth out my skin. I still have red spots and scars, but as for the actual acne itself, this stuff helps! It is less painful and I believe it has taken the infection out of my face. I have still got a long way to go because my acne was really bad, but there has been a definite improvement due to tapering off the medication and adding hibiclens to my regimen. It did kind of dry my skin out the first few times I used it, but I just put some lotion on at the end of my skin cleansing regimen and that solved the problem. Now it does not dry it out because my skin has adjusted to it. I took other peoples advice and got some of those cotton pads and that is what I rub on my face after I have let the hibiclens sit on it for a minute or two and that helps to exfoliate dead skin and also it will take the pus out of the middle of whiteheads without having to pick at them. Do not follow with a salicylic acid cleanser like neutrogena because it will make your skin burn!!!
