Hints of juicy fruit fragrance playfully tickle the air while rich foam formulas — enhanced with light moisturizers — leave hands feeling soft and smooth.

Lovely Scent but Drying for Eczema Prone Skin

I bought this a few times. I loved the scent and the foam was less messy in the bathroom compared to the gel hand wash. However although my hands were a lovely fruity scent I found they were very dry especially since I like to wash my hands quite often throughout the day. I switched from this to a hand wash better suited to sensitive skin and noticed a difference in the moisture levels of my skin on my hands. I now believe that something like changing the hand wash or soap you use if you have eczema or really dry skin can make a big difference. This was a lovely hand wash and quite reasonably priced too so it's unfortunate it didn't work out so well for me.

Tips: If you're a regular handwasher you can go through this stuff quite fast so stock up when it's on sale.

Too harsh

I have tried most hand washes on the market, its a must-have in my household with a toddler and newborn, so I always have one near my kitchen sink and one in the bathroom.

Palmolive is a brand that I reach for if I'm at the supermarket and in need of handwash or bodywash. I particularly like their milk and honey bodywash and its one I've been buying for years.

Firstly, I really like the packaging of this hand wash, it comes in a stylish curved bottle with a pump. There are quite a few flavours to pick from, which is always a great option. The lime and mint one was the flavour I decided to purchase, and it smelt fantastic.

This handwash you pump a small amount out and the formula is foamy, which is easily distributed over your hands. They feel clean and smell lovely.

I would use this many times a day and felt like it was doing a great job of cleansing my hands, and I enjoyed the smell.

However, a couple of weeks after using this I developed dermatitis on my middle fingers and had to stop using it. I think the ingredients were too harsh for my sensitive skin. My partner had no problems at all, but this hand wash is obviously not for me.

So although at first I liked using this, now I prefer using Eco store or more natural based products for my sensitive skin. I now believe there's an ingredient in this handwash that I am allergic too.

So, although a nice handwash I would avoid if you have a history of dermatitis or eczema.

Lime & Mint Scent

This was the first at home foaming handwash I have used. I love that it is a foam instead of the standard bar as it's easier to wash my hands now that I wear my wedding ring. The scent is lovely, smells so fresh and clean. Non drying formula. It's also an affordable product.The only negative for me is that it is not a CF brand, although they are working toward reducing the number of animals that are used for testing. This reason alone is why I wouldn't repurchase.

Stopped foaming

This is a nice scented hand wash and at the beginning of the bottle it foamed well, but under half full it didn't foam and was just watery. I have used both this raspberry one and the passionfruit? one (yellowish one) and both did the same thing.

Bit of a gimmick

This foaming handwash is a bit gimmicky - you need to buy the corresponding refills which are always more expensive than standard refills which is annoying. I also find the formula a bit drying and less effective at breaking down grease and grime. Yes they smell lovely but I will not repurchase.

Palmolive Foaming Hand Wash

This is an OK hand wash it has a nice smell but you need to use a lot of the foam to give your a hands a good wash. This product didn't last me very long. I wouldn't recommend it.

Palmolive Foaming Hand Wash

Smells great but dries out your hands something fierce! We brought this product to help our niece get into handwashing - I mean, what 3 year old doesn't love bubbles?! One very small pump of this product produces a thick blob of foam which is easily spread over the hands to cleanse. The scent (Lime and Mint) was refreshing and stayed on the hands a while, which was nice. We found this product to have an almost instant drying-out effect of our hands, which made hand moisturizer an essential afterwards. Price wise, for what you get, it's a little above-average and I probably wouldn't buy every time I needed a hand soap. You can get refills for the product now, which is handy. Overall, a fresh smelling, fun way to wash away germs.

My son likes it

I originally bought this product as my son had foaming hand wash at his kindy and thought it would be a good transition/routine for him to have it available at home to wash his hands with. The colour & the fact it foamed was fun & eye catching for him and he enjoys using it. I have found it okay to use, I assume the foaming agent is quite abrasive as I've found the skin on my hands peeling and not sure whether I have received a dodgy bottle or the pump is faulty but I have since refilled it but it doesn't work the same.

Very dry

I purchased this to use at home and found that it made my Hands extremely dry and itchy, if you have sensitive skin I would be very careful, I had to apply hand cream after every time I used this product.
