Hibiclens antimicrobial antiseptic skin cleanser 946 ml — 4% CHG, residual protection for hand and body

Hibiclens is a 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) antiseptic skin cleanser that kills germs on contact and leaves a residual protective layer after rinsing.

Designed for both clinical and everyday use, Hibiclens blends a powerful antimicrobial ingredient with a formulation gentle enough for routine hand and skin cleansing. For over four decades it has been used in hospitals and by healthcare professionals for pre-operative bathing and general skin antisepsis. Packaging may vary, but each 32 oz bottle delivers the same active 4% CHG formula trusted in many care settings.

How quickly does this cleanser work to reduce microbes on skin?

Hibiclens begins killing a broad range of bacteria and other microbes on contact. The CHG molecule binds to skin proteins, maintaining activity after rinsing to reduce recontamination during routine daily activities.

• Used in pre-operative patient bathing in clinical settings
