My new boss seems to have a mild tendency of ODC and scattered around the desks at work he has laying around a few of these small 100ml bottle of this Cuticura Citrus hand hygiene gel. Before he starts to eat something or gets on the phone he always uses this gel and today he said I could have this one before I went out for lunch lol!

It comes in a clear plastic bottle, with a dark blue flip top lid with a small hole through which it is possible to squeeze the gel out. The gel itself is actually more of a dark yellow colour (not as bright as the picture appears). It has a strong citrus flavour which for me reminds me of cleaning disenfectant and isn't awfully appealing but fortunately it doesn't linger on the hands for too long lol. Using it, the hand gel isn't too 'gelly' which I like in that it is slightly runnier than expected and it doesn't feel to greasy at all. A small blob about the size of a 5 pence piece is more than enough to spread over both my hands and it absorbs into my hands well without leaving them clammy or sticky.

The packaging states it kills 99.99% of bacteria fast and is a fast effective, hygienic alternative to washing hands when soap and water are not available and I wholeheartedly agree. I do really like this brand and although of course there is no way for me to be 100% sure it has cleaned my hands of 99.99% bacteria, it gives me peace of mind that my hands are cleaner and I find it leaves my hands very refreshing with no need for an additional hand cream afterwards.

I would definitely recommend this hand gel for thos who like a handy little bottle of antibac in their bag, and aren't put off by the disenfectant look of the product! It only costs about £1 and can be bought in most local pharmacies and retail outlets or online!
