Advantages: Keeps my hands from drying out

Disadvantages: Expensive, Not concentrated, Get less than a normal bottle

Unfortunately when it comes down to my choice of washing up liquid I am more limited than some, my mother has eczema and has passed some of it down to me, my skin is very sensitive and dries out very easily so I either have to wear rubber gloves when cleaning or pick gentle washing up liquids.

I have been using Surcare (read my review) over the last year or two but my Dad recently spotted this in Tesco and brought it for me to try as not all shops offer Surcare so it can be annoying when I run out of it.

The product currently only comes in a 450ml bottle which is slightly smaller than most washing up liquid products which normally come in 500ml bottles.

The liquid itself is quite thin, it flows around the bottle easily and when you squeeze it into the washing up bowl the flow is fast so you need to ensure you only use a little or you could run out quickly.

It has a pleasant smell that reminds you of spring and fields and you can smell it even after you have finished the dishes for a short while after.

The product is endorsed by the British Skin Foundation as well.

It has worked well on my hands, I haven't had the dryness that others have given me after use but as its perfumed I am not sure how long I will be able to carry on with this before my hands get sensitive to it.

As its such a watery liquid it doesn't last long either and its also quite expensive at £1.44 for 450ml compared to 86p for Surcare which is 500ml, lasts longer for me and is unperfumed.

If your a fan of Fairy products than you will enjoy its moisturising properties but I think I will be sticking to my main brand, mainly due to cost.

Summary: Not persuaded me to leave my normal brand sadly.
