pHisohex face wash

pHisohex is a well-known antiseptic wash used primarily for the treatment of acne and skin infections. Originally developed as a medical-grade skin cleanser containing hexachlorophene, the modern formulation marketed in Australia is an antibacterial face wash designed to remove oils and bacteria from the skin.

The brand has a long history in the pharmaceutical sector and is currently distributed and owned within the Australian market by Arrotex Pharmaceuticals. Arrotex was formed through the merger of Arrow Pharmaceuticals and Apotex Australia, making it the largest privately owned generic pharmaceutical company in Australia. While the brand was once part of larger global pharmaceutical portfolios, its presence in the Australian market is now managed by this major local player, which continues to produce and distribute the product domestically to pharmacies across the country.
