The Hibiclens® difference
All Hibiclens® products feature chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) as the active ingredient. CHG is different than soaps because it safely binds to the skin to form a protective layer, without any sticky residue. It begins killing germs on contact2 and keeps killing them even after rinsing.
Hibiclens® has historically been recommended to use prior to and after surgery to help reduce the risk of surgical site and hospital acquired infections that can be caused by germs that live on the skin. It’s also been dermatologically tested as non-irritating and gentle for daily use3 while tough on germs! So you can use it for routine hand-washing to protect yourself and others from germs encountered every day..
