How to Use

Apply a small amount of Hexomedine directly to the affected area using a cotton pad or the bottle tip. Use on clean, dry skin up to two or three times daily, as needed. Suitable for minor cuts, scrapes, blemishes, and insect bites. The 45ml size is handy for travel and spot use; the 250ml is better for frequent or whole-area use. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.

Ingredients

  • Hexamidine diisethionate: the sole antiseptic active. It targets and disrupts the cell walls of bacteria and fungi sitting on your skin's surface. No steroids, no antibiotics, one focused ingredient French pharmacists have trusted for over 60 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hexomedine used for?

Hexomedine is a French pharmacy antiseptic solution available since 1963. Its active ingredient, hexamidine diisethionate, disinfects minor cuts, scrapes, and surface blemishes, and it can soothe insect bites. It is a long-standing first-aid staple in French homes and needs no prescription.

Can I use Hexomedine for acne?

Many people use the standard Hexomedine solution on surface pimples, since its antimicrobial action targets bacteria on the skin. For deep, painful spots or cystic breakouts, the stronger Hexomedine Transcutanee formula is the one most people reach for. Apply a small amount directly to the blemish and let it dry.

How do I use Hexomedine?

Apply a small amount directly to clean, dry skin using a cotton pad or the bottle tip, up to two or three times a day as needed. Use it on minor cuts, scrapes, blemishes, and insect bites. Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes. Ask a pharmacist before using it on young children.

Does Hexomedine need a prescription?

No. Hexomedine is an over-the-counter antiseptic in France and does not require a prescription. It is not stocked in standard US stores, so Paris Pharmacy ships authentic stock from Paris or California with tracked delivery.

I’ve tried so many products for cystic acne, and this is by far the most effective one! Whenever I notice a pimple starting to develop, I use a Q-tip to apply a small amount directly to the spot a couple of times throughout the day. Usually, it’s significantly reduced by the next morning and completely clears up within 24–48 hours. You only need a tiny bit each time, so a single bottle lasts forever. Definitely a must-have!
