I did not use dettol till I had got pimples and rashes developed on my face. I still remember that at that time I was in a constant habit of changing soap so in this process of experimenting different soaps I one day got a dettol soap from the market. I never knew that it would prove so useful for my face.after using it my rashes went my pimples slowly started disappearing .
even my face also started glowing with a shine beauty came on my face and it is also having a very nice smell. from that time everyday I use that soap and wash my body, clean my face.now whenever I go to market I buy 3 -4 dettol soaps together as buying in bulk saves my money and I can give it to others also for using.
regarding alternate brands I think in dettol only you can get variety of soaps.so there is no need of any alternate brands if you have a big brand like dettol.
I think everyone who posses or do not possess skin problems should use this.it can be used by the people of every age category no age restriction are there for this soap.
