I was prescribed PhisoHex by my dermatologist for some infected ingrown hairs. After using it I noticed my skin cleared up wonderfully. I now use it from time to time to clear up random pimples, etc and it has worked better than Clearasil or any over the counter acne medication. I think that the active ingredient is so effective at killing bacteria that I would recommend it for anyone who wants to clear up outbreaks. I wonder why this product is not over the counter though...
