Hibiclens Liquid Antimicrobial Antiseptic Skin Cleanser

Hibiclens antiseptic skin cleanser is strong enough to kill germs that live on the skin but gentle enough for routine family hand washing. Hibiclens begins killing germs on contact2.

Hibiclens is the #1 pharmacist-recommended antibacterial soap.

Unlike regular soaps, Hibiclens not only begins killing germs immediately, it bonds with the skin and keeps on killing germs that live on the skin, even after washing. Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) provides extended protection against a wide range of bacteria.

Who needs Hibiclens?
Families – The average person comes in contact with 300 surfaces every 30 minutes, exposing them to 840,000 germs4 – but using Hibiclens as a hand wash on a regular basis can help protect you and your family!

Caregivers – Protect yourself and your patient with an antiseptic that begins killing germs on contact2 but is gentle enough for daily use.1

Pre/post-operative – Many hospitals and care centers recommend the use of Hibiclens prior to procedures and once back home again to protect against surgical site infections (SSIs).

How Hibiclens works
The active ingredient in Hibiclens is 4% CHG, which helps reduce bacteria that can potentially cause disease. Proven to be gentle enough for daily use,1 Hibiclens leaves a layer of protection without any sticky residue after it is rinsed off.
