Not enjoyable

I highly recommend that if you suffer from dry skin or regular irritation that you do not use this brand. Whatever is in that soap, after only a couple of washes with it, caused my hands to become the driest and scaliest they have in a very long time. It took a lot of hand moisturiser to bring back a balance to my skin. The smell was very nice, quite heavenly in fact, but unfortunately I would not be buying this brand again.

Tips: It may just be my skin type but for anyone else who can have sensitive skin I would avoid this, just in case.

Lovely Scent but Drying for Eczema Prone Skin

I bought this a few times. I loved the scent and the foam was less messy in the bathroom compared to the gel hand wash. However although my hands were a lovely fruity scent I found they were very dry especially since I like to wash my hands quite often throughout the day. I switched from this to a hand wash better suited to sensitive skin and noticed a difference in the moisture levels of my skin on my hands. I now believe that something like changing the hand wash or soap you use if you have eczema or really dry skin can make a big difference. This was a lovely hand wash and quite reasonably priced too so it's unfortunate it didn't work out so well for me.

Tips: If you're a regular handwasher you can go through this stuff quite fast so stock up when it's on sale.

Too harsh

I have tried most hand washes on the market, its a must-have in my household with a toddler and newborn, so I always have one near my kitchen sink and one in the bathroom.

Palmolive is a brand that I reach for if I'm at the supermarket and in need of handwash or bodywash. I particularly like their milk and honey bodywash and its one I've been buying for years.

Firstly, I really like the packaging of this hand wash, it comes in a stylish curved bottle with a pump. There are quite a few flavours to pick from, which is always a great option. The lime and mint one was the flavour I decided to purchase, and it smelt fantastic.

This handwash you pump a small amount out and the formula is foamy, which is easily distributed over your hands. They feel clean and smell lovely.

I would use this many times a day and felt like it was doing a great job of cleansing my hands, and I enjoyed the smell.

However, a couple of weeks after using this I developed dermatitis on my middle fingers and had to stop using it. I think the ingredients were too harsh for my sensitive skin. My partner had no problems at all, but this hand wash is obviously not for me.

So although at first I liked using this, now I prefer using Eco store or more natural based products for my sensitive skin. I now believe there's an ingredient in this handwash that I am allergic too.

So, although a nice handwash I would avoid if you have a history of dermatitis or eczema.

Lime & Mint Scent

This was the first at home foaming handwash I have used. I love that it is a foam instead of the standard bar as it's easier to wash my hands now that I wear my wedding ring. The scent is lovely, smells so fresh and clean. Non drying formula. It's also an affordable product.The only negative for me is that it is not a CF brand, although they are working toward reducing the number of animals that are used for testing. This reason alone is why I wouldn't repurchase.

Foaming!

This smells yummy! It foams well! But it didnt leave my hands soft and smooth, I found it dried my hands out on the 2nd use and after that made my hand itchy. You have to be careful when you pump the foam out to tends to give out an overload so only lasted a couple of days in my house. Defiantly not cost effective.

Tips: If you have sensitive skin I wouldnt recommend using this unless you have a really good hand cream to counter act the reaction.

It's OK

This product is OK, not great. The fragrance across the entire range is OK, but not great. It does smell quite fresh which is important.

The positives of this product are that the foam is a great novelty for kids, so encourages more hand washing. It seems to last quite a long time, and the pump is designed well so that virtually all the product gets used up.

A down side is that there is no moisturising qualities in the product, so that claim doesnt work for me. I definitely need to moisturise after using this soap.

Tips: The kids will love it.

Fruity foaming wash

These are great! The concept of foaming hand wash is awesome, they leave your hands smelling delicious, good enough to eat, the scent lasts a good amount of time too. The packaging is ok, and when you get to the bottom of the hand wash its hard to get the last parts out.

This wasn't good in my household as my 4 year old like to use it a lot and used a whole hand wash in 1 day just washing her hands constantly.

Smells amazing!

For some reason im really drawn to foaming hand washes! These hand washes are available in multiple great smelling scents which is a huge plus for me. It also didn't seem to aggravate my dermatitis as a lot of hand washes do which is a huge plus!

smellls sooo goooood

I've tried the berry scent and it smells so delicious and fresh :)

I can't particularly vouch for the moisture claim of it however. Apparently foams dry out your hand even more? I can't say I fully agree. I prefer liquid washes over a bar of soap any day :)
