What is it

I purchased this Dove Fresh Touch beauty cream hand wash from my local Morrisons for the princely sum of £1. I was quite delighted and presumed that it must have been on a special offer. I do not unfortunately know the normal retail price of this item. I was attracted to it as it was a mint green colour and I know it sounds a bit odd however I like my items to match so hence the green loo roll as well!! I know possibly a little sad. The product did stand out on the shelf as it was larger than most of the other items available a major deciding factor in my purchase decision because as a family we tend to go through hand wash extremely quickly. Usually due to my six year olds obsession with washing his hands at least twenty times a day. I think this is more related to the playing with water factor than the actual hygiene issues. In addition the deciding factor for my purchase was that it contained moisturiser, as I tend to get dry hands from hospital hibi scrub I decided to give this a try.

The packaging

The product comes in a pleasantly shaped mint green bottle. It has a pump action nozzle for easy dispersal, The wording on the front states that it is Dove go fresh fresh touch beauty cream wash. Which contains cucumber and green tea fragrance, containing a quarter moisturising cream. The bottle also has a red sticker on the front which states that this is a new product. There is also a small picture of a silver dove on the front. It is made by Unilever.

The contents

The liquid is a light green colour and has the same consistency as shampoo. According to the manufacturer it combines active moisturising cream with the crisp, clean fragrance of cucumber and green tea which makes the hands feel fresh and clean. The product apparently can be used as a facial cleanser too although I must admit I haven't tried it in this way. Strictly hand wash only for me. If using it in this way there is a warning which suggests avoiding contact with the eyes as it may irritate. However if contact occurs rinse with warm water, so pretty self-explanatory really.

Advantages

It smells absolutely wonderful and lathers very well. Leaving the hands softer and feeling extremely clean and refreshed. The pump dispenser is easy to use not stiff and hard to press down like some similar products I have tried in the past. It is also drip resistant so no messy puddles are left on the bathroom sink after use.

Disadvantages

I can honestly say that I have found absolutely no disadvantages with this product at all which I have to say has surprised me. Perhaps if I actually new the retail price of this item then this may change.

Overall Rating

Five stars and I would definitely recommend this product to all.
