Is the Bath and Body Works Antibacterial soap really ';antibacterial?';?

Or is it just a sales gimmick? Because I know after time antibacterial soap can actually have negative effects.Is the Bath and Body Works Antibacterial soap really ';antibacterial?';?
Enviromentally-wise, anything antibacterial used outside of a hospital is BAD, because the germs the stuff is supposed to kill WILL develop a resistance to it if it's exposed to a very small amount. Then when you really need to kill the bacteria, the stuff won't work.





Wash more frequently with regular soap, and scrub throughout.





If you're concerned with getting all of the germs, pour on some rubbing alcohol.Is the Bath and Body Works Antibacterial soap really ';antibacterial?';?
No soap is truly antibacterial unless you know how to wash your hands properly.





That being said, *IF* you wash your hands properly, regular hand soap and so-called 'antibacterial' soaps will yield the same results. So if it's more money, it's not worth it.
You're right that antibacterial soap can have a negative affect, as it can kill the good germs along with the bad. I would not use these products too often as they can strip away the good stuff from our skin.
i would say yes but u would have 2 read the packaging to find out
