I have backne and chestne (pimples on back and chest) , I do competitive swimming and thanks to that I have a lot of pimples and scars. I was recommended this product and apparently it could be used as a body wash, I tried it and it was all soapy but when I rinsed it off and tried scrubbing nothing looked or felt any different. I've been using it for around 3-5 weeks and nothings changed, seriously disappointing

I’ve always had pimples. I’m 45. I got this for my son who is going through puberty. I tried it one day and the next day for the first time ever, not one new pimple! Unreal. I have combination tending to dry skin and this does not dry my skin at all.

I Struggled for 2 years using different products. Using this has cleared a lot of problems overnight in conjunction with the blackhead extractor tool. The sting is killing the bacteria.

Right after using I could tell that something wasn't right as my face had started stinging and heating up. It's been about 10 mins and even after I put moisturiser on my face is still bright red. I feel as if my face is on fire.

Would not recommend.

I just tried this product for the first time 25 minutes ago.. and my gawwwwd does it hurt like hell! Feels like a jellyfish stung me all over the face.

Phisohex really is a game changer. I had searched for so long for a facial wash that would clear my acne. the amount of money spent on so many different brands in order to clear my mind acne was getting ridiculous. I came across this and truth be told, within a day and a half of using it my inflamed pimples were noticeably disappearing, and have stayed away since. Only advice I would give for using this product is to moisturize after use even if you do have oily skin like myself. This may not work on everyone, but clearly my root cause of acne was bacteria so this was the perfect treatment.

I'm a teenager and suffer with severe acne and i did notice a bit of a difference at the beginning but after several months my acne got worse rather than better. This may be due to me being a teen but i do not recommend this for teens with severe acne.

it got rid of my acne two weeks after using it i would recommend this to all my friends its amazing my skin is so soft after using this product

I have used this product every summer for years when i sweat a lot and get bacteria causing out breaks. I only use it more than once a day when the temperatures get over 38C ( I live in Perth WA ) It is for oily skin so does its job very well.

been using this product for 30yrs its the best. cleans kills infections and it definalely works. makes your skin feel clean too. i would reckonmend this product for all ages. good for body infections too

Ever since I've started using phisohex, my skin has been clearing up amazingly! I have quite a lot of pimples on my forehead and it's been slowly getting better. My skin is at it's best since like 2 years! I don't have sensitive skin so phisohex didn't sting or burn it at all. It does dry out your skin so make sure you put moisturizer on afterward.
I've tried so many face washes and this has been absolutely the best! It has great value for money! I picked it up for only $10 at Priceline.
I would not recommend this to people who have sensitive and naturally dry skin.

This is the worst product I have ever used on my skin. My skin is SO dry and irritated after using this just twice. It is dry to the point where it is peeling and burning. I have applied so much moisturiser and it is doing nothing, that is how dry it is. I can't leave the house because I just have white peeling bits of skin everywhere, it's humiliating. I would not recommend this product at all.

This product does work. Clearly it dries out the pimples and reduces them if you have sensitive skin highly recommend you only use the wash where your skin is affected and use a good moisturiser that does not clog pores. Yes there are chances it stings if you have pimples its an anti bacterial and a cleanser if you are using it 3 times a day and your skin is very dry your either using it too often and need to resort to using it once a day or not moisturising enough. I have sensitive skin it stung alitlle especially on the really red sore to touch pimples but it dried them out and less painful and it did dry my skin so i resorted to only washing once a day and only putting it like spot treatment

It really is a good product and I have been using for a while. I get real bad pimples and blackhead etc... I have seen other reviews and I found a few reasons for why it stings etc.
1. the stinging is, you have open sores on the where you apply it, or its because its get into your pores and clean everything out (in other words, its just sinking in.
2. it dry's out your skin because its meant to dry the pimples and so on out so you can eventually just let them flake off I guess...

I got this yesterday in a local pharmacy and the pharmacist advised me to use this 3 times (one time per morning, afternoon & night). It has been 1 day and I’m already seeing a difference. It does sting a little bit after you apply it but it does turn into the normal pH that it is supposed to be in. I use Cetaphil Moisturiser after I put it on and I put a thin of 5% Benzoyl Peroxide on top of it. It definitely works and it’s very cheap!

I have used this product for about a week now and during the first few times it really seemed to work gradually. Only downside at the start was the stinging but I was fine to look past that if it helps my skin. Unfortunately the more I used it, the more my face started to dry up. Now I’ve stopped using it completely because it’s so dry that no amount of moisturiser helps and it’s so painful! Definitely not worth it!!

At first it seemed to be working slightly (I didn't really notice that many changes but there were some) but now it doesn't work at all. Not worth it in my opinion.

I bought this for my brother who has acne. The first time he used it, it stinged his skin about 30 seconds after applying onto the skin. Then, after further applications it didn't sting as much. He uses it to kill bacteria that might cause acne and also to wash off the oil and dirt on his face before applying Benzac AC 5%. This product also might dry out the skin and irritate the skin afterwards. We were quite surprised at how harsh it was, as we didn't expect it to sting. Luckily, I only bought the smaller size. I'm not sure if we will be purchasing this product again due to the harshness.
