IF STRUGGLING W ACNE ANYWHERE, just use 4% chg

[princeof316]

Chlorohexidine Gluconate (CHG [2-4%] ) is an anti septic, anti microbial compound used to prep people for surgery.

It kills ALL bacteria and INHIBITS comedones and “clogged” pores, some studies even saying early use of this can prevent acne all together ( you can also pair this together with other topicals like retinoids and some calmer acids)

I have personally tested this and have insane results within 3 days (on day 5/6 now), Long term effects use IF used right is minimal and the only side effects that are unique to it is deafness and blindness if u get it in your eyes and ears (just don’t be fucking retarded) and even if you do, surfactants in most soaps/ cleanser cancel out the chg and will save you.

It’s also extremely cheap as you only need a minimal layer to cover your face, a $13 bottle of it from cvs will last around 3-4 months.


There are a couple Studies online about it and a fuck ton of mindless redditors who have used it too, but you’ll have to search for it under the name hibiclens (the most popular form of chg) this shit is a genuine holy grail.

I would recommend using this along side an anti aging compound like tret or taz i’ll also update this at my 1 month mark with pictures for comparison.

Routine to use (Short contact for less irritation):

Optional: Wash face off with lukewarm water

S1 : one pump of chg into your hands, lather a bit then apply to face.

S2 Apply to every area excluding near eyes mouth, inside nose.

S3: let sit for 1-5 minutes and then wash off with lukewarm water.

S4 wait another 5 minutes then apply a moisturizer if you want.

Repeat in evening if acne is more severe, if needed this also works/ is used on every other body part excluding genitals.

just prep yourself for surgery 24/7
there's a reason it isn't well-known in the skincare industry. It's garbage, if you use a new product the first few days your skin ALWAYS reacts heavenly until it realises it can't handle the product.
u really think an extremely harsh anti-microbial product will be good for your skin? Since when are microbes bad? since when are oils bad? since when are pores bad?

ur skin is a reflection of your diet and genes. only like 10% of ppl who struggle with acne have a rare case in which even diet won't fix it.

I use it (2% spray) as antiseptic for microneedling as it doesn't dry skin or change hair color. But I'm not sure if it's okay to nuke your skin microbiome all the time.

I’m not completely sure either but once my acne is fully clear i’ll wane off it and just do a maintenance of once a week. I know a lot of islanders and african use bathe in this shit daily as it’s cheap and effective so i don’t think there’s any insane side effects.

retard reply you said a whole bunch of hypothetical questions with no studies to back up anything or references that this can cause any problems. If you can pull a study or example showing daily chg use is detrimental to your skin health or body’s resistance I would agree with you.
