Cussons Carex

I prefer to use hand wash to soap, and always keep a bottle in both my kitchen and bathroom. I have tried various brands over the years, but Carex is one of the best I have found so far. There are several different fragrances in the range and although I have tried a few - original blue and the yellow one (lemon?) - during this review I will be referring to the Aloe Vera fragrance (green bottle) as that is the one I’m currently using. ~Packaging~ The hand wash comes in a slim, almost square shaped bottle, which is clear, so useful to see how much you’ve got left. It has a standard pump action dispenser, which is easily pressed - I remember some time ...  Read the complete review

Carex anti bacterial hand wash is a good product if you have a skin sensitive condition. I suffer from dermititis and have in the past found it hard to find a product that does not affect my skin.

I have after trying this product also tried their range of bath and shower gels and they also are a good product as I find so many other products ...  Read the complete review

I remember the days when people had bars of soap in their bathrooms and kitchens by the sink. There's even little grooves in bathroom basins to accommodate bars of soap, but the way things are going these will become totally unnecessary as more and more people replace bars of soap with liquid soap dispensers. So, what do I look for in my liquid soap/hand wash? Primarily I'm looking for a good cleaning product with anti-bacterial qualities, and Cussons Carex ticks this box. I also like to get a good lather up, and unfortunately Carex does let you down on this front. You can put a lot of work in trying to foam up your hands, but in my ...  Read the complete review

This hand wash is by Cussons a well known trusted company, they produce many different soaps and shower gels. The hand wash I bought was Cussons Carex anti bacterial hand wash. It comes in a clear bottle with 500 ml of blue liquid soap which looks good in a kitchen or bathroom; it has a pump dispenser making it easy to get the right amount of soap required, you only need one squirt of this soap, so it does last for quite some time. The soap is a good consistency and lathers up rather well when applied to the skin. It rinses off easily and leaves no residue behind. It also leaves your hands feeling fresh and clean, and smelling that way too. It ...  Read the complete review

As I have quite sensitive skin, I've always used the Dove bar of soap. However, when myself and my boyfriend moved in together recently, he kicked up a bit of a fuss about the girlyness of Dove when he was supposed to use it. So in the interest of compromise, off we trotted to Tesco, where we spotted this Cussons Carex sensitive handwash (the purple one), which was on offer at £1.00 a bottle, which seemed a bargain. The handwash was duly put into the kitchen for both of us to use, where the purple liquid in a pump-action bottle looked fine on the windowsill. But now for the real test - would it annoy my skin? Having a slight case of OCD (I say slight, I mean ...  Read the complete review
