Climb On! for skin thickening

Hello everyone!

I've head it's possible to use that Climb On! soap to thicken the skin of your hands, thus making them more "durable", less prone to injury and more pain resistant in sharp holds and so on...

A few friends tried using it in their fingers and palm every night and said it worked.. Crazy.
However, as far as I've researched, I only found that the soap's use is strictly to heal injuries.

Does anyone heard about it or actually use it that way?

Thank you!

ClimbOn isn't a soap.. it is a salve or ointment in bar form. you use it like you would hand lotion. It helps heal skin abrasions and stuff but it will not heal any internal injuries.

it doesn't thicken your skin either. your body builds calluses as a reaction to being damaged so it adds layers to those areas that get worn the most.
