Phisohex

My sister used to use this for her acne as a teenager – haven’t thought of it for such a long time.

The primary ingredient in phisohex triclosan has been banned on Europe and USA. I wonder if it will het banned here. I used phiohex too for years. It was great but I am aware fda in many countries banned it.

Just looked it up and saw the directions say to use it 3 times daily I have never had a product say that and I don’t have time for that but if it works it works and you can’t argue with what makes your skin look good.

My doctor recommended this for folliculitis on my butt (the joy of sharing!),

Thanks for this post Yvonne. Will tell my grand daughter about it.

I used Phixohex as a teen, too. It’s available at Priceline & Chemist Warehouse.

Reminds me of this French face wash that my cousin gifted me that I cannot recall the name of. She said it was very popular in France but it was like a boric acid wash and I could not understand what it did even after I used up the whole bottle.

I’ve never heard of it, it sounds like a ‘gold mine’ if it is as good for other people as it is has been for your skin @Yvonne626 , I wonder why it has’nt become well known – do you need a prescription?.

I think as a teen I tried something like this but now that I am older TBH I would not purchase this type of product and would tackle it using a combination of AHA/BHA/PHA acids. Kinda sceptical about a product that you only have on your face for a few minutes as opposed to something that penetrates the dermis for longer.

I am also extremely wary of products that work and then when you stop using it, you suddenly have the original issue resurface.
