Dettol Healthy Touch Hand Sanitiser Instant Refresh Review

I have a small bottle of this that I was given during the height of the Covid pandemic, and it’s still not empty because I just much prefer using antibacterial wipes when I cannot wash my hands. I know that wipes produce more waste, but I much prefer the feeling of cleaning something off of my hands to putting something over the top of what is already on my hands. That said, as hand sanitisers go, the Dettol Healthy Touch instant hand sanitizer is pleasant to use and not as sticky as some other hand sanitizers. The smell is as you would expect from something that kills germs, but by far not as strong as others I’ve had to use during the pandemic. From everything I’ve read, Dettol actually kills germs as stated on the bottle, and I definitely like that it comes in a small bottle that is easy to carry around all the time. While I am not a fan of using hand sanitisers, when I need to use one, this is the one I would choose.

This hand sanitizer does work really well, fights and kills most germs. Only down side to this product is that it doesn't smell very good and it leaves your hands feeling dry.

I have two of the 50ml bottles - one for my handbag and one at home and it is so handy! It doesn't dry out my skin like some other hand sanitisers do, it makes my hands feel clean and refresh! The smell isn't as strong as some of the other brands, it doesn't linger around for too long.

I keep a little bottle of this stuff in my first aid kit for camping. It comes in so handy when using long drops in the middle of nowhere that don't have anywhere to wash your hands.

I am a bit OCD with hand washing so this stuff is my life saver, I have a mini in my hand bag and car. I am not a huge fan of the smell of this sanitiser but its not sticky like some can be.

I find the small bottle handy to carry in your handbag for those times where you need to wash your hands but there is no soap around. It also has a nice smell, much better than some other brands I've used.

This particular Dettol Hand Sanitiser would be my preferred brand over others. With two babies, bottles of this (large pumps and minis) are dotted around several locations as it is a bit of a must-have. I find the scent more pleasing than other brands, not so potent and alcohol smelling, and in terms of softness - although I find them all drying in the long term - this is the softer.

i have the smaller version of this and i keep it in my bag , its nice to have when out and about and touching something with bugs on it or after eating , when i apply it its a fresh cooling sensation on my hands, it also smells nice and freshening.

This little bottle is excellent, especially now as we are heading into the colder months and therefore, more flus and viruses. Although I prefer soap and water, it's great for when I'm on the go as the little bottle is easy to fit into any bag. The scent isn't pleasant, but then again, most hand sanitisers aren't. It doesn't dry out your hands though, so that's definitely a plus.

Used this a lot when soap and water wasn't handy, and it seemed to do its job. We looked at hand sanitizer in our labs and this worked well to kill most bacteria except for the strong pathogenic ones!
