This liquid when mixed with water can also act as an effective after-shave lotion, especially to lower the risk of infection in case of cuts or bruises. 

Remember, Savlon antiseptic liquid is only meant for external use. Do not even use it as a mouth rinse or take it orally as it may lead to various side effects.
