Purell Hand Sanitiser

I'm a hand sanitizer fan all round but this is one of the best ones available. I've used the cheaper ones before and they smell is unbelievably bad - makes me gag. I use this regularly to sanitize my hands before eating, when driving, after shaking people's hands (okay I don't do it in front of them!) and I've even been known to put sanitizer on my hands and run it over the steering wheel (you never know who's touched it!). It works a treat, doesn't leave a residue and the alcohol smell goes quickly, which is especially important in small spaces such as a car. Definitely a win-win!

I work in ECE, and that means I am constantly washing and sanitizing my hands. I found my hands began to get really dry and tight with the sanitizer worked supplied so I began looking for an alternative.

Purell was affordable and came in both a large and compact size! The compact size was small enough for me to keep in my jacket pocket, so I could use it throughout the day, without it being inconvenient to go and get the sanitizer. Additionally, the smaller version is also handy to have when shopping, to quickly disinfect your hands before having lunch (we all know how dirty pin pads are).

I would describe the consistency of this product as a thin gel that absorbs quickly, which is ideal when working with children!

Additionally, it does not dry my hands out and I trust that it is killing most of the bacteria on my hands. I’ll be honest, this product does not smell fantastic, and has the generic alcohol smell that most hand sanitizers do. However, I find that one the sanitizer has dried, the smell disappears just as quickly.

A little of this product goes along way, and so I find it economical as well as convenient. It is a product that is found in my house, car, and my workplace! I use the big bottle at home to fill up my compact bottle, and it’s even more economical this way. Definitely a must have in any household!

With a hand sanitizer I look for three things, absorbs quickly, doesn’t have a strong smell and makes my hand feels great.

This is perfect; it leaves my hands feeling really clean.

I work in an office and deal with people and money, keeping this in my desk is a life saver for those times when you feel a bit ick!

I am going to do this review slightly different and write a letter to purell.

Dear Purell.

Thank you, thank you for making the only thing that helped me keep 32 teenagers from spreading more germs (well you and swiffer wipes but that's for another review).

I was working at a summer camp in america and swine flu was brought into our camp...... over 40 people had it and people were dropping like flies.... we were ill and falling. We had over 450 people at camp so we took action. We sanitized everything. I would have showered in purell, in fact I probably did. Not only was your product gentle on my skin it helped us to remain open and after the 70 people who got swine flu recovered it kept it at bay. We were one of the only camps to stay open, control an outbreak and get better - most camps too many staff became ill and caused a closure.

After that our summer continued as if nothing had happened. BUT. We all to this day use purell. Especially if you are around people who are sick.

I can not recommened this enough. Sure I would rather spend my money on pretty beauty products but I also enjoy not having the flu.....

Thanks purell xx Love from that girl that had swine flu in america with 32 kids.

With a young infant at home, and working in schools all day, I need something that is going to kill germs fast and this is my weapon of choice.

I have used both the natural and the aloe vera versions of this product and I prefer the aloe vera. The main reason for this is that the smell is nicer, and it keeps my hands moisturised.

I work in a dairy industry and we are always using hand sanitiser which I never use to do as I didn't understand why you would need too. I decided to purchase this for home as I am so used to sanitising my hands now before touching food. I prefer this over the stuff we use at work because this doesn't't dry your hands and it also absorbs quickly. The smell of this to me isn't unpleasant as it isn't overpowering and it doesn't linger on your skin. I have repurchased this many times and will keep on purchasing as it is a must have.

This is fantastic to have on hand in the car in your handbag when out especially the smaller one. The larger size is handy by the kitchen sink as well. it is gentle on the skin and smells great. Gives peace of mind knowing it is helping to keep you healthy by killing more germs than other brands

Leaves hands feeling smooth and clean in seconds. Not overpowering smell and easy to use. Great for all those unexpected moments of being a mum. Great price and come in handy sizes, fit in the handbag, car and one in the house

Hand sanitisers have to be one of the best things to have been released. They can be picked up anywhere.

Comes in this gel form. It's in a this clear bottle which is good because you can see how much your using. Some of these hand sanitisers are known for having a strong smell of alcohol like scent. I personally like specific scent type hand sanitisers.

I'm out and I need a quick hand wash , this always saves the day. Ive used this so many times. Especially if you've got a baby. Quick to clean up after spills and nappy changes. Really good if your far away from any toilets. Is a must have to have in your handbag. Love hand sanitisers. I don't think it smells as strong as Dettol. Definately a goody to have in your bag or car.

i prefer this brand to dettol, the smell isnt as strong and it doesnt leave your hands too dry after it has dissolved into your hands. I use it vigorously everyday for myself and my children..I purchase the 240ml because I use it alot during the day and the week. The pricing isnt bad especially when it comes to something I use for my childrens wellbeing. I purchase more than one each time I do my shopping just so i can carry one in my hand bag and in my childrens carry on bag when were out and about.
