Pros:

excellent compliment to the regimen, kills p. acnes bacteria completely

Cons:

Really only serves as an antiseptic, killing bacteria. exfoliation etc need to be done separately.

be sure to rinse off completely (i always use Dan's cleanser afterward). highly recommended as a part of Dan's regimen (just use it before his cleanser, and after any exfoliating cleanser if you use one).

Pros:

Best stuff I have ever used. Is clearing up my skin as well as antibiotics have in the past. I HIGHLY recommend you try this. Please buy the 16oz with the pump, it DOES foam very well w/ pump. 1 gallon on Ebay is much more affordable in the long run.

Cons:

Has Alcohol in it which is rough on your skin and many would advise against using that. Find a good moisturizer to use after you use the Hibiclens.

Buy the 16oz bottle ONCE ([link removed]) and refill it with the 1 gallon bottles on Ebay. Over the last 15 years every other product I have tried has failed me. This is the only one that so far seems to work. I use this about 3-4 times a day. DO NOT GET IN EYES or EARS. This is not hard, just be careful and flush your eyes out extremely well if you do.

Pros:

Kills bacteria about as good as anything I've ever used. Does not dry skin. Works fast (best my skin has looked in a long, long time). Overall its just great for clearing acne. Quite affordable Also.

Cons:

Must be careful to not get in eyes and ears when using, but thats not too hard

Adding this to my routine in just the last week has made truly an incredible difference. I've had moderate to severe acne mostly all on my face and although products like benzoil peroxide and salic. acid help to control it, I seam to never be able to get it under control. Although it is too early to know 100%, so far this has helped the deep pimples to go away and I've not had a breakout since using it. It seams that the Hibiclens removes all the bacteria and microbes on the face which allows the acne to heal as normal skin would. This is the first product that has worked well enough to the point where I thought I should review it for others to know about it. I don't know if it will get rid of all acne but I would certainly try it with your routine and see. I use it once every night as the last part of my routine. I just rub it into my skin leave it on for a few minutes then wash it off with water. Hope it helps some more people. God bless.

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.
