Hibiclens

Regular price $30.00 $0.00

Hibiclens is a hospital grade chlorhexidine wash that provides immediate antimicrobial activity and leaves a persistent reduction in bacterial load for hours after rinsing. Chlorhexidine binds to the stratum corneum, creating a stable antimicrobial film that is safe for daily use and effective against the organisms that drive folliculitis and recurrent skin infections. I use it in the shower as my daily body wash, especially on high friction or sweat prone areas, because it keeps the skin clean while maintaining reliable microbial control.


Key ingredients

Chlorhexidine gluconate 4 percent solution, antimicrobial

Full ingredients

Isopropyl alcohol, FD&C Red No. 40, Fragrance, Purified water


How to use

Use Hibiclens the same way you would use a liquid body wash, with a few important precautions. Wet the skin, apply only enough product to lightly cover the area, and wash gently before rinsing well. Keep it away from the eyes, ears, mouth, and genital area.

Allergens:

For external use only. This product can cause a severe allergic reaction that may present with wheezing, difficulty breathing, facial swelling, hives, rash, or shock. Stop use immediately and seek medical attention if any reaction occurs. Do not use if you have a known allergy to chlorhexidine gluconate or any ingredient in the formula, in contact with the meninges, or on the genital area. Avoid eyes, ears, and mouth. Chlorhexidine can cause permanent eye injury and can cause hearing loss if it enters the middle ear through a perforated eardrum. If contact occurs, rinse with cold water right away. Do not apply to deep or extensive wounds. Do not perform repeated cleansing of large body areas unless advised by a clinician. Stop use and consult a physician if you experience irritation, sensitization, or signs of an allergic reaction.



Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical help or contact Poison Control immediately.

Why Dr. Linkner loves it

I reach for Hibiclens because daily chlorhexidine use meaningfully reduces the bacterial load that drives body acne and folliculitis. It is one of the few washes that provides immediate antimicrobial action and keeps working for hours after rinsing. I use it in the shower on high friction and sweat prone areas because it keeps breakouts controlled and prevents recurrence.
