Hibiclens Antiseptic Skin Cleanser

Hibiclens is the antiseptic skin cleanser used in hospitals and trusted by healthcare professionals for over 40 years, to help protect against germs and bacteria that live on skin. In fact, Hibiclens is the #1 pharmacist and dermatologist recommended antiseptic skin cleaner 1. Now it’s available in an easy to use, built-in foam pump, in the same trusted formula. Hibiclens trusted formula is gentle for routine family hand-washing, yet strong enough to kill tough hospital germs 2.
