I got this to use before shoulder surgery, and it worked well! Much cheaper than the wipes too! Highly recommend!
I hadn’t heard of this until my dermatologist recommended it for my butt acne 😅, but it works as intended.
Meets my surgeon’s recommendations for an effective surgical scrub.
Great price, works well.
I bought this for my butt acne, and it cleared up almost all of it in a month, although some product leaked into the protective film.
I purchased this for surgery and noticed that scrapes from tree work thorns had almost disappeared by the next morning. The smell after rinsing is hard to describe—subtly clean but not artificially so. I love it and plan to get some for my mom, who easily gets wounds due to her diabetes. I’ll leave another review after she tries it.
I needed to use this product before my knee replacement surgery. It seems to work great (note – it doesn’t foam), and I’ve continued using it for 3 weeks. I just wish it came in a larger size.
