pHisohex Anti-Bacterial Face Wash

This product I sampled and shared with my friends thanks to Soup.
pHisohex created a 6 week challenge and I was asked to test this product, washing my face 3 times a day, then drying my face with a special suede-microfiber towel, (which was supplied with a couple of bottles of pHisohex to share with my friends). I was also asked to use the hashtag #pHeelgood, to try and promote the brand.

My first thought when looking at the packaging and smelling the liquid was that this product seemed to be something more clinical, like something a Doctor would prescribe. The smell was quite different, but it is something you could get used to.
I follow the face washing regime exactly as set out for me in my instruction pack written by pHisohex, washing 3 times a day then using the supplied towel to 'pat dry' my face after washing.
Within the first 3 days I noticed that my skin was starting to become extremely oily. Thinking nothing of it i continued to use the product as directed, and within one week I was starting to develop pimples all over my face. I was horrified at what was happening to my skin; I was getting more pimples in new places on my face than I had ever had as a teen, my skin was now so oily that anything that touched my face, be it clothes, sunglasses, or tissues came away with a visible film of oil.
I immediately stopped using the product and gave my skin a break for about 3 weeks.

Willing to put good faith in this product that stated it was especially good for sensitive skin types, I was willing to give pHisohex another go. This time I started using it once a day only, thinking to wean my skin into using it again, and not wanting to overwhelm my skin into breaking out or becoming super oily again. Sadly, after another week of using pHisohex the same problem started happening again. So on the advice of my Doctor I have permanently discontinued use.

Part of this trial required that I also give bottles of pHisohex to two of my friends; they both had the same reaction as i did. #pHeelbad was a much more appropriate hashtag for our experience of this product.

The Verdict:
This product is deffinitely not for all people or skin types, and i would not reccomend it to anybody who has even slightly oily skin. I also would not reccomend this product to people with a busy lifestyle, as washing your face 3 times a day can be a hard routine to maintain.
Not worth the money.
