5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for armpit BO
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024
Even after washing my armpits in the shower well, sometimes I cannot get rid of the BO. This product is a sure way to take care of that. I pour a little in my hands, rub it in my armpits, and let it sit for a few minutes while I wash my hair. I rinse it off and have zero BO. It kills all the odor causing bacteria on my skin, just as it kills germs for surgeons who use this to wash their hands before surgery. It smells pleasant, has a watery consistency (a little thicker than water), and I have purchased many bottles. They last a really long time if you only use it like I do and is a good value for the money. I wish they made it in more of a gel formula so it was easier to apply, but that doesn't really affect me too much. I also wish this one came with a pump like others I have purchased, which would make it easier as well, but I can deal without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cleared my skin!
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024
I used this on some problem areas of my skin, and I noticed a significant difference after only a few weeks of use. It didn't fully clear my skin, but it definitely helped. I feel so clean after using this wash, and have started to use it as an underarm wash as well after reading some comments. It does help neutralize odor and I don't need as much deodorant or worry about body odor as often as I usually would.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big bottle, great product
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024
Was referred to add this to my bathing routine. I opted for the large bottle so I won’t have to purchase regularly. Product works great! Bottle is huge and I recommend putting it in smaller container with a pump.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonder product for aftercare for new piercings
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
This stuff is what saved my industrial piercing from having to be removed. It kept getting infected no matter which cleanser I used that the piercer recommended, and I was about to just take it out when I found this, it cleared it right up and kept the infection away for good. I've used it for other piercings I've gotten since and have never had problems again. One bottle, if you're only using it for piercings, will last you like 6 months even if you're using it daily to clean because a little is all you need. I could not recommend it enough, and am shocked piercers don't know/tell you about this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than bar soap
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024
Better for me than bar soap. Does not dry skin. Cleans and skin not feeling tight after use. Delicate smell. Hibiclens is pink but does not stain washcloth or skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must buy!
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2024
I stumbled across this for no apparent reason, I wasn’t even looking for any cure but it was one of those nights where I couldn’t sleep. LOL.

I read the reviews and decided to purchase it just because. I used a cotton swab to apply to my underarms and belly button.

It is summer here in L.A., so it’s getting very hot, hot to us is 90°, and it’s miserable. The heat does something to the body that is not cute.

I have never had body odor, but lately I’ve been detecting a very slight odor and it grossed me out. Bruh, when I say this eliminated all funky odor from my armpits and navel IMMEDIATELY, I am not lying. Absolutely no odor at all. None. I feel as fresh as a daisy and smell like one too.

I’ll be sure to use this stuff for the rest of my life!

Guess a sleepless night was a blessing in disguise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, unexpectedly worked well
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2024
Works GREAT for armpit smell (even after washing when it doesn't smell clean enough). Great for the sweaty-head kids, be mindful of eyes but let it "soak in skin" a few minutes and it works perfectly. It smells chemically at first but has no after-smell... I love washing with a different soap or lotioning afterward to imprint a scent. Makes lots of bubbles if used in a bath surprisingly. Kind of watery, so definitely use on a sponge or washcloth, not great on a plastic mesh "loofah" as they call them.
