Spencer's Gel is actually surprisingly good at killing S. Aureus. Highly recommend. Works fast too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079S1MVWK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_d

  If it's on your skin, what's the advantage of using this over, say, 50% isopropyl alcohol?

    A strain which can cause necrosis in a healthy individual goes under your skin, where not enough alcohol can penetrate. Again: most strains of S. aureus can not cause a serious infection in someone healthy. Antibiotic abuse drives the selective pressure towards resistant strains.

  I finally ordered this after seeing it recommended multiple times for this purpose. Does anyone have first-hand experience with it? I have a recurrent impetigo infection on my face stemming from dry skin / eczema, with my partner as a possible source of re-infection. I'm hoping this product will make it a less common occurrence, as it's quite debilitating and has persisted for over half a year. The dermatologists I've seen have been of little assistance, only presenting me with drug-based treatments (monthly injections, immunosuppressants) and no advice for treating the root cause. Topical antibiotics seem to be the only temporary solution for now, as systemic antibiotics seem to have no effect.
