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. At last I have found one such product for this really does what it says , I buy the sensitive skin version of this product and find that the smell is pleasant and the gel is not sticky as so many other types of this liquid soap can be it cleanses very well and doesn't leave me wanting to scratch the top layer off of 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

I think it is very important to have good hand hygiene, especially in todays times of swine flu and other germs being passed around, and I think its alwasy good to have a hard working hand wash in the bathroom. Carex has been a big used brand in my family since I was a kid, so its pretty much always been in my house somewhere, and today is no exception. I could be known as one of those people who washes their hands a bit too often sometimes, you would never know by looking at my hands. They are not dry or cracked, and this is as least in part due to the handwash I use. The carex hand washes are, to me, a great part to play in keeping my ...  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
