It’s rare that after one day of use I am ready to swear by a product, but that’s exactly what I’m about to do.

Yesterday, after about a week of suffering through dry, itchy hands, I decided to go the store and try to find a decent hand cream. You see, the problem with my hands is that I use hand sanitizer all the time. And most hand sanitizers are full of alcohol which, in addition to making you smell as though you’ve just been on a bender, dries skin terribly.

So there I was, perusing the hand lotion section of my local grocery store, when my eyes fell on a bottle of Gold Bond Ultimate Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer. Like other sanitizers, it kills 99.99% of germs, but it’s also a hand cream! Intrigued, I bought a bottle and gave it a try.

The itchy dryness by my wrists was instantly soothed, and the fresh scent was a much better alternative to essence of booze. I used it several times throughout the day, and my hands felt clean and soft. Plus, a tiny dab goes a long way.

So yes, in the course of a day this new hand cream has become the one I can’t live without. If you want hands that are soft and germ-free, get it.
