Effective, but can cause permanent eye damage.
I used Hibiclens while I had an active Staph (MRSA) skin infection. Hibiclens, in addition to 10 minute bleach baths, gave me peace of mind that I could sanitize myself and not risk transmiting the infection to others.<br /><br />Please read the directions very carefully!!! This product can cause PERMANENT eye damage if it enters the eyes and is not immediately flushed out.<br /><br />It is not meant for long term use over large areas of the body. After the infection responded to treatment (debridement, followed by oral antibiotics, Bactrim and Clyndamycin simultaneously) and stopped oozing, I switched from Hibiclens to regular antibaterial liquid handsoap from the grocery store. Those products contain benzalkonium  chloride, which has been shown to be effective against MRSA.<br /><br />Hibiclens is a highly effective product, but it contains powerful active ingredients, and must be used with caution.
