Hibiclens – Antimicrobial and Antiseptic Soap and Skin Cleanser – 8 oz with Foaming Pump – for Home and Hospital – 4% CHG

I have HS, and this cleanser helps manage odor and infection with a clean, fresh scent that is gentle and non-irritating. I love how my skin feels after using it. My skin tolerates this cleanser really well, which is crucial for HS management, and since I’m also prone to episodes of some pretty severe allergic dermatitis that seems to come out of nowhere. I use it on some areas daily, other areas less than weekly, and just as needed. I’ve been using this for only a few months, wish I would have tried it years ago, and find that its effective as a cleanser and not as cost-prohibitive as the bleach wash I also occasionally use with flares. It does not prevent odor, nothing will with HS; but it makes it more manageable. I have purchased this many times and have not had issues with leaking. A little does go a long way, and a bottle this size has lasted me several months.

I purchased this to prepare for my knee surgery. I was nervous about what to get but my surgeon said this was a perfect brand. I liked how it came out as a foam, making the use very easy in the shower with an injury. There was no weird smell or staining of any kind. I was worried it would really dry out my skin, but I was pleasantly surprised that it did not.

Standard anti microbial wash that comes out from the easy to use pump. Allows me to wash stubborn areas that struggle with bacterial overgrowth that can cause smells. Did not dry my skin out while still dealing with killing the bacteria. Also got rid of stubborn body odors due to killing the bacteria. I keep it around my shower area that way if I’m struggling stubborn areas I can use this soap to effectively stop the issues in its tracts quickly.

Hibiclens is a product I like to keep on hand because it works really well as an antiseptic cleanser. It has a gentle lather and cleans the skin thoroughly without feeling overly harsh. Even though it’s a strong antimicrobial wash, it still feels fairly mild on the skin when used as directed. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts quite a while. It’s easy to use and rinses off clean without leaving any residue. I also like that it’s commonly recommended in medical settings, which gives a little extra confidence in the product. Overall, it’s a reliable antiseptic cleanser that’s good to have available when you need a more thorough clean than a regular soap.

Got for pre and post surgery as instructed and washed before and after and did not get an infection so it did its job. The scent is very clinical but that’s ok, at least you know it’s working. Didn’t have any negative skin effects either.
