20 Best Soaps To Clean Piercings (2023 Updated)

I love that I can take this in the plane with me when I travel ! I also love the fact that I don’t always have to wash it off and it can air dry ! This works so well for an irritated forward helix that I have !.

Helps heal piercings better than the spray. Used this foam to heal my tragus and had absolutely no issues. Also using this foam to heal my irritation bump on lobe and it is almost healed.

This is the only thing that cleared my nose infection up from the piercing jewelry!! The little bump is gone and there is no more pain! A MUST for piercings and super easy to use and keep on you!

I bought this on a whim when I replenished my hustle butter supply. Up until now, I’d only used water to clean new tattoos because I didn’t want the fragrance from my body wash to agitate it. This stuff is a game changer.

It’s a super gentle, lightweight foam cleanser that helps your new tattoo feel clean and refreshed, but not dry. The aloe leaf extract gives a soothing, cooling sensation that feels incredible on a raw, sore, fresh tattoo (think of the relief aloe gives to sunburn) and it doesn’t sting or irritate the skin at all.

I’ll definitely use it daily while my new tattoo is healing.

This goes perfectly with the Hustle Butter Deluxe. It cleans your skin with natural ingredients so the tattoo site isn’t aggravated but soothed. Came to my rescue during those itchy healing moments!!😅 I feel because if it’s ingredients, my tattoos didn’t peel as bad as they normally have in the past without using it.

Sensitive enough to even be used on my tatted brows. Zero scanning or peeling. Either I have great skin (Maury voice “that’s a lie”) or this combo is the key to perfect tattoo aftercare! Glad I came across these products.

Recommend 10000%!!.

I’ve used a couple different methods of washing my fresh tattoos and once I saw how convenient it was to go in store and purchase a tattoo care item at my ulta, I was THRILLED. I love the very light scent of this and even love the foam part of it! It feels amazing on a fresh tattoo and it’s so satisfying to watch the skin peel flakes come off with this.

This was out of stock for awhile and just bought 4 bottles since I was almost empty of the one I currently have.

This is a rather unique product. It’s basically a cotton swab but instead of a cardboard or plastic stick, it has a hollow stick that’s filled with a cleaning/disinfecting solution. To use it you snap the tube which allows the fluid to soak into the cotton tip.

Then use it like a swab. It’s quick and easy, and perfect for when you’re not at home. The amount of liquid allows for a good cleaning of a single piercing without any mess or dribbling. It doesn’t sting, and doesn’t have a medicinal scent to it.

The swabs (36) come in a sturdy plastic case with a good latch. The main con is cost, since it’s pretty expensive for just 36 cleaning swabs. But, convenience always costs, and these make for a tidy, non-obtrusive way to maintain a clean piercing.

They are made in the USA. A good functioning, unique product — five stars.

I recently got a nose piercing and need to clean it with saline solution twice a day. This doesn’t replace cleaning the piercing with the bottled sterile saline solution, but it is convenient for a quick touch-up during the day or while traveling.

I went for a weekend trip and these swabs were perfect. I didn’t have to carry an entire bottle with me. When you snap off the tip of one end the saline saturates the opposite end. I found that holding it on its side after snapping off the head helps to keep the saline from dripping out before you are able to apply it to the piercing.

Great for travel or if you need to clean it through out the day. Highly recommend.

I’ve been dealing with a healing daith for a year and I found myself frustrated with still getting crusties and thought, “I’ll buy this. The reviews are decent and maybe it’ll FINALLY heal all the way.

” Mistake. I guess my body did not like the solution because within two days I had multiple irritation bumps (two on one side and one on the other) and pain. I rushed to my local piercing shop and immediately bought more H2Ocean and within a day it drastically reduced the bumps and we’re just about back where we started.

Moral of the story, piercers mean it when they say, “spray it and leave it”. This stuff with all the aloe might be great for lobes or other places, but my daith was not a fan. Buyers be vigilant and know your body.

I’ve used Tattoo Goo cleanser on all 3 of my new tattoos to keep them clean, and I’ve had no problems. This product goes a long way, I use it three times a day and there is still plenty left after two weeks of use.

Not sure how long it would last on a larger ink, but I think it’s worth the money, especially if you’re new to the world of tattoos and want to feel safe that you’re keeping it all clean. You just add some to the palm of your hand, add some water to create some foam, and then gently rub it over your tattoo.

I use luke warm water to wash with and then rinse with cold water to get rid of any residue. It smells like antiseptic, a little bit like Dettol, which I find vaguely reassuring. It isn’t, however, overpowering, so just leaves you smelling clean and fresh! I dab my tattoos dry with either a muslin cloth or kitchen paper and then leave to air dry for about 10 minutes before using a tattoo moisturiser.

So far, so good, and I feel happier using the Tattoo Goo wash, knowing it’s designed specially for the job of keeping my new tattoos clean.

after my experience with the healing salve I have to admit i was tentative to try this product out. But i had a friend who had bought some so I tried it on her tattoo while helping her clean it the second day of healing but first day trying this as a subtstitue to what she normally used, dial soap.

It made her skin all red around the tattoo and the tattoo become raised up as if she was having an allergic reaction to the tattoo itself. her tattoo ended up healing terribly but didnt scar thanks to her diligence in not picking the scab.

so the situation could have turned out worse but thankfully she stopped using after one more use and getting the same results as the first time. swelling. I do no recommend Tattoo Goo Products. Must be cheaply made or have too much of a metallic compound in it to couse such adverse reactions to the skin.

Bought this as wasnt sure what alternative product to buy locally and the reviews for this were very good. Yes its over 6 for a small tube but that is a small price to pay when you have forked out 140 on your tattoo as I did.

The Goo lathers up well and covers the tattoo well. It has a surgical scent but this reassured me that it was having a positive affect and preventing infection. I found the consistency to be just fine.

I am on day 12 since having my tattoo done and have used the Goo with Hustle Butter and it is almost healed. I would definitely use it again for any future tattoos I have done.

I can’t review the actual product because while waiting for the associate to confirm my order( I did a online pickup) I discovered the bottle was expired. The associate then tried to go and get another only to come back with worst news.

Someone lost the key to the jewelry case after my order was filled. So even if they fou d the key she couldn’t confirm of the other bottle were or weren’t expired.

I really like this piercing solution ! When I got my daughters ears pierced the lady recommended me this , and it never once got infected ! It has no smell so it’s good for the babies !

Works great on pierced ears in the beginning to sooth the itch and soreness Great product

My daughter got her upper ear pierced ( I dont pay attn to the names of all the different piercings) its a barbell piercing though at the top of her ear. on the ends both in and outside the ear at the pierce point she had these ugly bumps around the piercing and nothing she tried was working.

Alcohol, witch hazel, soapy water. everything the piercer guy recommended was a flop. and her ear always hurt. Every day she was saying it was tender. I found this stuff online with great recommendations and said WTH.

So glad I did, the bumps are gone and she says the pain has left too. Her ear looks better too and her other piercings are being touched with the med too and she says they dont even feel as constricting (I swear her ear was swollen at times)BUY THIS MED TO HEAL PROPERLY!!! I will be buying more for her if the bumps come back for sure.

I am talking a change happened in less that 36 hours ! This stuff is great.

Let me just start by saying WOW! Thank you Jesus for this amazing product! You can see how bad of a irritation bump i had. The very first pic was from 7/17/22 and the second pic is from 7/19/22 and the last pic is from today 8/7/22.

I was sooo stressed from trying different things to help my bump but nothing ever helped it 😩 this was money well spent and i have bought this product twice already in under a month. When i first started using the swabs i used 3 per day and as you can see from the pictures in just 2 days there is a significant change in the irritation bump! So after the first 2 weeks constantly using the swabs 3 times a day i only started using 2 of them a day.

These swabs changed the game and will always be a must have for me. I should also mention that i changed my stud before using this product as well. I went from a titanium stud to a surgical stainless steel.

So all in all if your wondering if you should buy this, DO IT! It will save your lifee!.

I was struggling with the non-healing piercing in my nostril. I developed a bump that would drain pus pretty much daily. I would have good days and bad days. One morning I woke up to clean the piercing with salt water and applied some pressure and a large amount of pus was expelled.

I was desperate to find a solution so I took to Dr. Piercing Aftercare to search for the best products. It was a long 72 hours before these little swabs arrived and change the game completely. I noticed a difference after the first application.

After five days of consistent use, the bump was gone. The drainage had also dried up almost completely. I am now two weeks out from using these swabs for about five days and have a completely healed piercing.

If you’re having trouble with your piercing these will perform miracles for you. You’re welcome.

Refresh is fantastic. It leaves you feeling smooth and your skin cleansed and hydrated. It doesn’t take much, and your body is lathered up like a kid in a bubble bath before you know it. The smell is what makes you want to stay in the shower longer and keep using the wash.

The vanilla coconut scent is divine. My partner said “It smells like good s. (three letters). He said “That’s some baby-making formula. ” So yeah… I’m all seriousness, Refresh is very moisturizing for the skin.

I’ll definitely be adding it to my subscription list. I have a difficult time finding body washes and soaps I can use because most make me itchy. MR Refresh is 100% a winner in my book!.

If you are not worried about dry skin, then this is the product for you. Its lather is GREAT and feels amazing when it’s being rinsed off in the shower. I use an exfoliating cloth and believe me – a little of the body wash goes a long, long way.

The lather coupled with the light and the sweet scent makes me want to stay in the shower. I rarely use the same body wash brand twice, but this made me become a subscriber. 10 thumbs up.

I’ve been using the tattoo balm for about a year now, so I was happy to try the body wash. When I placed the order I was not sure that I would like the coconut and vanilla scent, as I am not keen on body washes that smell like fruit or food.

After almost 2 weeks of using it I can say it’s a very good body wash. Lots of great stuff for your skin/tattoos and none of the chemicals that most corporate brands use. Twenty bucks is a bit high because there are other all natural body washes on the market for less, but the scent will keep me coming back.

Not sure if the package was frozen during shipping or what, but normally these should have the solution and propellant separated by a plastic bag. It seems as though the plastic bag is perforated though, as they don’t actually spray from any angle and gas seems to escape with the solution when pointed downward.

These are issues I’ve never had before with this brand of piercing spray.

This stuff is like magic in a can. It was recommended by my piercer after I got my nipples pierced. I saw several reviews where they said getting it from the studio was expensive. I paid $8 for my can.

But I legit would have paid $20+. It is that good. It was my first time using it but most definitely will not be the last. This will be my go to from now on. So worth it and keeps everything clean and healthy!!.

This is a great piercing aftercare product. Helps the piercing heal and best of all it is super easy to apply. I have tried other brands and they spray so hard it’s ridiculous for piercing care, but the NeilMed stuff has the perfect pressure.

Worth it!.

This was really nice to have after my girls got their ears pierced. I didn’t have to go anywhere and buy saline solution (that’s what this is). It was a nice big bottle that could probably last more than the 6 weeks you need to clean them 3x/day.

Kim helped my sister, my boyfriend, and myself and she was phenomenal! We got nose piercings and she was professional, fun, and knowledgeable. The k you so much!! If I didn’t live out of state I would go all the time:).

I use this lotion on all three of my kids ear piercing recently and his work very well they haven’t got infected or red and it’s been two weeks since my first two got their ears pierced in one week since my third got hers.

So everything’s going great.

I got my ears pierced over six months and I they weren’t healing properly with the first aid spray. So I started using a combination of alcohol and peroxide. I knew part of the was metal of the original earrings.

I purchased my own pair of earrings but the swelling and throbbing wouldn’t stop to point where I sleep with a travel pillow so the my earlobe wouldn’t touch the pillow because of how sore they were.

I took my earrings out a put retainers in. However, while searching for retainers the Dr. Piercing and popped up and after reading the description I decided to order a few packs. It’s barely been a week and not only was I able to put my own earrings in (not the piercing earring)I no longer have any swelling and I’m slowly working my way to sleeping on my pillow without the travel pillow.

Thank you Dr. Piercing. Wish I knew about this product when I got my naval piercing.

Y’all. I think Jesus himself made these. I had a bump on my nostril piercing that I was sick at looking at so I stuck a needle into it. Pus and blood them continued to seep from it and it was crusty daily.

I was desperate, and despite some of the scary reviews on here, I ordered anyway. I used them for the first few days about 4 times a day and made sure to clean the outside and inside of my nostril. I made sure to really “scrub” the top where the wound was (when I say scrub, I mean not just lightly dab….

I truly cleaned it). After 6 days, my piercing looks better than it EVER has. It’s never looked this good and looks completely healed. There is NO bump, I no longer see any discharge when moving the piercing around… it’s just incredible.

I usually don’t write reviews because, well, I’m lazy. But this stuff is so powerful that I just had to so that anyone else experiencing what I did can get some resolve to their issue as well!.

My surgeon instructed me to use Hibiclens for presurgery showers. So I ordered two 8oz flip tops of Hibiclens from Target. When I received them, both bottles had leaked in the Hibiclens boxes. There was red liquid dried on the outside of the bottle, inside the box, and outside the box.

The product was not damaged during shipping. No way I was going to use this for my pre-surgery. Luckily, I was able to get Hibiclens packets from my surgeon’s office. I returned the defective product to Target for a full refund.

Apparently from reviews on other websites, this is a common problem.

Best surgical soap on the market. Think about it. Surgeons wash their hands with this and then their hands are clean enough to operate on somebody. I put a square of this in with a lot of water in a spray bottle, shake it, and spray it on my skin and then I wash it off in the shower.

Very clean. If you have any sort of smell or anything, spray it and that smell will be gone and that surface will be clean. This is my first bottle but it certainly won’t be my last. Yes I highly recommend this.

No Clue About Long Term Impact & Havent Looked At Ingredients, Which I usually Do. But I Needed It For Someone & The Situation Didnt Leave Time To Be Picky About Possible Synthetic Crappy Ingredients.

BUT, I Can Say That It Does An Excellent Job Healing Wounds In A Short Amount Of Time. Excellent Is An Understatement.

I recently tried the Unscented Baby pump Sugar Soap. I used it both as a facial/body wash …and as a shampoo. I didn’t think I could love a Bronners soap any more than I love the Unscented Baby pure Castile…I think I love the Sugar Soap even a little more for facial and body wash.

It is so gentle and has a silky lather ( you do have to work up the lather a bit by working it up between the palms of your hands). I was so surprised at how great the Sugar Soap is as a shampoo !! I won’t be using anything else.

I have shoulder length fine but moderately thick blunt cut hair…white hair as I am 72. I generally have problems with fly away and really bad luck with conditioners weighing my hair down…flat down. This Sugar Soap was wonderful without any conditioner at all.

My hair was left soft with bounce and body. It did take a few washes to get accustomed to the lower lather volume. As with the facial use I had to work the lather in my palms and then run it through my hair with my fingers rather than the usual foaming high volume lather of typical shampoos.

IIfeel that my scalp is cleansed very well, but I am not dealing with any scalp conditions. I generally wash my hair twice a week and use a boar bristle brush daily. Love love this sugar soap as a shampoo.

Just an aside: The baby balm is great for taming fly always. I work a bit into my hands. just a smidge and run it lightly through my hair. Every time I have ended up with soft hair with bounce and shine.

A lot of the reviews that mention waxy residue probably have hard water that is reacting with the soap. I don’t have hard water, and I haven’t had a residue issue at all. If you switch from regular shampoo to this, you will likely have to endure a transition phase, and your hair will be greasy.

I switched to it after five weeks of water only washing (along with using a boar bristle brush to spread my natural oil throughout all of my hair), so just two pumps lathered into very wet hair (one pump thoroughly lathered near the scalp and then rinsed, and a second pump gently lathered into the hair shaft–not the ends–and then rinsed) worked perfectly.

I have very long hair, and guys, shampoo is for your scalp. Don’t apply five pumps all over your entire hair of hair. It isn’t supposed to be like conventional shampoo. It doesn’t have a million synthetic ingredients that foam up and fill your hair with fragrance.

After I’m done showering, and I’ve gently t-shirt dried my hair a bit, I apply a bit of coconut oil mixed with lavender oil to the ends and let it air dry. This has given me silky, healthy hair.

Usually by mid-December my hands are starting to crack and bleed. Since switching to this soap my hands no longer crack and bleed! In fact, they are the most hydrated and healthy they’ve been in years! Cleans beautifully and a little does a long way.

:red_heart: (I think the people reviewing who dislike the honey-like texture and have issues rinsing are using too much! That’s the beauty of this brand, healthy ingredients that are concentrated to last a long time!) I also have this soap at the sink for my students to use, that’s how much I love it, although I dilute that dispenser because they don’t quite understand moderation.

:face_with_tears_of_joy: AND Teachers who use it while in my classroom ALWAYS comment and ask me questions about buying it.

I had doubts about this product working. It’s been 1 year that I’ve had a helix piercing and I’ve had a bump for at least 9 months. I tried everything you could think of: Emu oil, tea tree oil, Neosporin, ear piercing gel, tea compressions.

Nothing worked. I tried this product as a last resort and it worked! It took about 2 weeks to start seeing a change, but I no longer have a piercing bump! I continued washing my piercing with saline solution and after my ear was completely dried I would use this product.

Still can’t believe out of all the things I tried, this did it!.

Ive been struggling with a recurring keloid from a cartilage piercing for months, and I have had very little success with the natural essential oil route, but I decided to try this after two treatments of a type of cryotherapy.

Within just a few days of applying 3-7 times a day, the keloid disappeared, and although Ive accidentally hit it, slept wrong, got my hair caught in the piercing, etc, the keloid has not returned! My piercing is still healing as it is only about 5-6mo.

old, so things could always change, but I am thoroughly impressed at the quickness and effectiveness of this! Definitely recommend for anyone with a keloid from a piercing!.

This product works magic. 1. it came in 6 days earlier than it was supposed to which is great. 2. after one day of using it my bump had already shrunk so much 3. now after a week with putting this oil on twice a day my bump is completely gone.

I highly recommend getting this oil im so happy that i got rid of this ugly bump.

I like this brand of castile soap – no parabens, harmful ingredients and fragrance. It is also good quality and is paraben and phthalate free. It has a strong peppermint scent from essential oils and not artificial fragrance.

This benefits those who likes peppermint scent. The texture is neither too watery nor thick but just right. It also contains shea butter which helps to moisturize the skin so I use this both for my bathing and hand washing for my eczema skin.

So far, it has not caused my eczema to flare up so it is gentle for sensitive eczema skin and does not cause drying. The big size 946 ml bottle packaging is good value for money.

We were not informed that we were receiving a product that expired in less than 2 months from time of purchase. The buyer should be made aware of the expiration date before purchasing this product for personal and/or medical use.

I’ve always used this after getting a piercing, great soap, very gentle. Really feels like it gets everything clean while still be very gentle. It’s completely fragrance and dye free so I’ve never been irritated by it at all.

Looks used. The bottles are taped closed like theyve been opened and the back labels are scratched off. And its so thick it looks like homemade soap

This wasn’t great for me, BUT I’ll start with saying that I was using it for microblading on my eyebrows. There are some things that I would feel different about if I had used it on a larger tattoo on my body.

It’s easy to apply and not shiny. I just don’t feel like it moisturized well enough. It sunk in fast (which would seem good as it’s moisturizing the area) but almost seemed to go faster than is effective.

The times that I have used it, I had to reapply often, and the tattoo began to flake. So has been much more effective for me on this. HOWEVER! The tattoos I had tried this on were on my face, meaning no clothing touching it.

So no clothing sticking to the aquaphor. I also don’t care if I look dumb with shiny ointment on my face 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think that having a middle ground where clothing wouldn’t stick and would provide some moisture would be a good thing.

It could just be my skin, but I don’t think it would be moisturizing enough for me. A lot of products that seem universally effective are like that to me, so that is an individual problem. Overall, I love the idea.

Easy to apply. Wish it lasted longer, but would likely purchase if I was using it on an area of the body where traditional ointment would be a pain.

Let me start off by saying that I have a very hard time holding color in my skin. It has just been a year, and I need a touch up. I actually use this product on a continuous basis to try and make sure that I do everything I can to retain color.

This goes on smooth, isn’t sticky. My tattoo is on my neck, so I’ve tried a few other that had my hair stuck like Vaseline in it. Gross and unnecessary. I don’t expose my neck without sunscreen, so I use this primarily after showers at this point.

Once my tattoo was healed, I kept it moisturized 24/7. My shop carries it, but you can find it on Amazon as well. I’m on the right in this photo and you can see clearly that my skin has an Olive tone and no matter where my tattoo’s are, I need touch ups for optimal saturation.

Follow me I’ll follow you back! 😊🥰 This definitely works! I was getting my first tattoo was trying to prepare for it, bought aquaphor for the beginning healing stage then was looking for a tattoo lotion after the aquaphor stage.

I was recommended this. I bought it tried it out after a week of putting on aquaphor after getting my first tattoo. It didn’t dry it up or itch. I continued using it with my new tattoos well after it was healed I love how it makes my tattoos look.

The black looks vivid, I love it!.

I received my bottle and when I opened it I noticed brown gunk underneath the cap on the outside and inside. There was also brown specs floating in the aftercare solution. I do not think this product is safe for use around new piercings.

There should not be contaminates in a solution meant to keep your piercing clean. I am very disappointed, and I would be wary of buying anything from the makers of this product. PLEASE do not buy. Use saline contact solution instead from a reputable brand, save yourself the possible infection.

Contact solution is also cheaper and you get more.

It works great. I got a small bottle with my piercing kit but that soon ran out. I don’t think that the bottle that came with the kit was working well. I got a minor ear infectio. Bit after I started using the bottle from Sally’s within a few days the infection was cleared up and my ears started healing.

I love it.

When I had my nose piercing, I used a sea salt and warm water concoction. I am very cautious when it comes to hygiene so I made sure I cleaned it at least twice a day. It worked for a few weeks, but then I noticed a small red bump that was forming on my nose.

That was my nightmare. I gave in and tried the ocean spray. It didn’t give me immediate results. I had to use it at least for 3 weeks to see the results I wanted, but it worked! My nose bump went down a lot.

I used the spray every day twice a day until the bottle was empty. After that, I stopped using it and there has been no issues since.

Love this product for new peircings! I used it the first time I got spider bites on my lower lip. They healed perfectly! It also helped with the pain and kept them very clean. They healed with no problems! I just recently a week ago I got another set a spider bites and have been using it on them and they seem to be on the right track to healing completely problem free.

I only use this product on new peircings. It’s wonderful. I’ll attach photos of healed side and new one!.

For about 2 months I had an irritation bump on my nose piercing that wouldn’t go away, no matter how clean I kept it. Been using this stuff for about 2 weeks now and the bump is gone. The hole itself is no longer raw and is finally back on the road to healing up nicely.

Best part is, not even Amazon would ship this to Hawaii, but UBJ did. Don’t know why it took me so long to buy this. Guess I was just being stubborn and thought my own salt solution would be good enough.

H2OCEAN is a no-brainer for piercing after care.
