Medicated Lotion Soap with Chloroxylenol - 4 oz

I don't always write reviews, but I felt like I had to for this product just because it has worked so well for me! I got these two forward helix piercings as a birthday present to myself back in November and went all out with expensive/adorable jewelry. Totally in love. The healing process was going beautifully. Pain was gone in about two days, no swelling or bleeding, looked lovely, etc. Until one day I bumped my ear very, very hard, and my piercings immediately got swollen. Because of the heavy swelling, my saline fine mist spray was not getting into the piercing to clean it properly and I soon had a huge swollen ear, complete with bleeding, disgusting puss, and a lot of pain. As you can see in the picture on the right, my forward helix piercings were VERY angry/infected. (**Disclaimer: the picture on the right was actually taken about a month ago, because I didn't think to take a picture before I started using this soap, but I can assure you that it looked almost the same--worse actually.) I had literally tried EVERYTHING. Including popular piercing care products such as the "Piercing Care Healing Sea Salts & Botanicals" (which worked okay for me, but I didn't always have the time to soak my piercing for 5 minutes before leaving for work/school in the morning), as well as the H2Ocean spray that everyone raves about (also just okay, but did not produce strong results). Needless to say, I was in extreme discomfort and pain and I was heavily considering taking them out--which I really didn't want to do because I'm in love with the aesthetic, but it was becoming too much. Anyway, my last resort was this soap, and let me tell you... after DAY ONE I felt relief! Every day since then has only gotten better and better. Now after only ONE week of using this soap (day & night) the swollen/angry/bleeding/crusty piercings have FINALLY calmed down! I am so incredibly happy! I just can't believe how wonderfully it has worked for me. I am well aware that there is still a little redness around both piercings, but the results are unreal between the two photos. I am confident that after another week or so, they will look completely normal. **Important Note, if you decide to purchase this product you will not be mistaken, BUT for the first few days, I feel like it kind of fakes you out. For example, the pain significantly decreased after day one, but I felt that my piercings (particularly the top one) almost looked worse (more red, more swollen around the edges), but I believe that this is part of the healing process. I think that was the soap's doing--bringing everything out to the surface before it could leave my piercing. If this happens to you, please just keep using it, like I did. I promise it will get better! I think that someone else gave this product a poor rating for not continuing after the first wash (the same thing happened to them, piercing seemed to look worse), but please just do yourself a favor and keep going! I hope you found this review helpful! :-)

I love to use this soap in the shower to clean my piercings. I really feel it gets the job done it also helped get rid of a stubborn irritation bump I had on my nose piercing once. I Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend as it’s very easy and not time consuming to use.

Je me suis fait fait faire un conch à l’oreille. Après quelques jours, j’ai commencé à avoir de l’enflure malgré les soins rigoureux apportés. Je ne dormais pas sur cette oreille et effectuais les nettoyage 2 fois par jour. J’ai tendance à faire des infections malgré tout. J’ai commandé ce savon après avoir lu les commentaires et fait quelques recherches. L’enflure et le début d’infection est parti après 5 jours d’utilisation. Je l’utilise encore après 5 mois (avec la même petite bouteille). Vous n’avez pas besoin de mettre une grande quantité, simplement un peu sur le bout des doigts et mousser avant d’appliquer. Ce produit a facilité la guérison. En ce moment, je l’utilise deux fois par semaine. Les premières semaines, j’ai aussi utilisé avec ce produit de l’eau saline en spray de Neilmed. C’est le parfait combo !

This soap is the absolute best. I've never been able to find in stores, I've only ever received it directly from a tattoo/piercing parlor, or Amazon. It has carried me through many different body modifications as well as some injuries. I used the soap for my navel piercing, now six different tattoos, two ingrown toenail surgeries, and I am now using it for a nostril piercing and cartilage piercing. Just one bottle lasted me for a very long time as it suds up very well, and is thick and concentrated, but not too concentrated to the point of irritating the wound. The smell isn't as acrid as Dial soap would be, I actually find it pleasant. Overall this soap is a wonderful, gentle antibacterial cleansing soap that will not irritate wounds with dyes or perfumes or overly high concentrations as you might find in typical hand soaps. For piercings I would recommend filling a container with 3 parts water and 1 part soap and using that bottle for your entire healing process, as a consistent concentration helps your body balance. I like to shake the bottle, dip a q-tip in, and use that to clean the area (AFTER letting warm water run over the piercing for 5 minutes to soften the lymph). Update: I have developed very sensitive skin and am in the process of allergy patch testing and this soap has never once irritated my skin. Whenever I need my hands to be truly clean of all irritants i.e. so I can feel safe touching my eyes without causing an allergic reaction, this is what I use. I swear by this soap.

Effective but I'm not keen on such a clinical odour. Suppose that can't be helped.
