This is a randomized trial of benzoyl peroxide soap versus Hibiclens soap for surgical preparation. The objective is to determine whether benzoyl peroxide soap, commonly available in drug stores for over‐the‐counter acne treatment, is as or more effective than the standard surgical preoperative soap, Hibiclens soap (chlorhexidine gluconate), in reducing loads of Propionibacteria (Propi) on or under the skin of patients prior to shoulder arthroplasty (joint replacement).
