deols: Antiseptic soaps are not the best. In fact, if you don't have a medical condition nor exposed to germs, you should not use one.


I use dove cream wash because of its moisturising action plus it is found everywhere.

@Segun and majority of educated Nigerians who has fallen to the allure of bathing with medicated soap in recent years, pls if you care for good advise - which I believe is one of the benefits in a public forum like this, kindly stop using it.
Medicated soap is a drug; a prescription drug for that matter. Self medication worldwide is permissible for OTC - over the counter drugs, eg panadol because they don't have side effect unlike prescription drugs.
What medicated soap does is to fight and kill germs and skin infections. The human body has a natural defense system that attack foreign bodies and protect the entire skin effectively, e.g. if boil appears on your skin, puss may develop as a result of an attack of the infection by the white blood cells. In event of the use of medicated soap regularly, the natural immune system of the skin is weakened as the human body now get accustomed to relying on the antiseptic power of the soap & the bacterias, fungus, etc on the skin will over a period of time learn to tolerate to the attack pattern of the soap and this is how drug resistance is developed to drugs by germs. There will be no observationof a problem until in event of a serious skin sickness or infection that requires doctor's attention. The doctor will prescribe drugs or medicated cream or soap - which will be ineffective because of drug resistance on the skin defense system already.
Summary : one is actually doing more medical harm than good by using prescription drugs (medicated soaps inclusive ) as it results in breeding drug resistance to treatment of diseases whenever an occasion that actually requires the deployment of medicated soap arises. It supposed to be used and withdrawn.
Advise: please revert to TOILET SOAP - there are a 1001 choices to pick from and use Medicated soap or powder for treatment purposes - especially when recommended by a physician. The Tv & radio advert of medicated soap is misleading. A good ordinary soap serves it purpose very well.
@OP
Personally I use Harmony Fruit Soap - I so much love the assorted fragrance of different fruits it has.

Sadusky: I am using Imperial leather . . . And some of friends keep asking me what soap do i use . . . wink
Imperial leather still exists? Nothing comes close to Imperial Leather as far as scent is concerned. It has a very unique and nice scent.

@Topic; For bar/solid soaps, my to go product is Dove beauty bar. For body washes, definitely St Ives. I've been using these two line of products religiously for more than 5 years and they've been doing the job of cleaning and moisturizing my skin. I can't ask for anything more than that.
