expensive but keeps hands smoothe
-02.26.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, smoothe, expensive
I've purchased this a few times but I will admit at times I revert back to checkout counter hand sanitizer for a $1 but as always my hands will to start to show it. ( I frequently wash my hands its nature of my work so hands get dry easy). yes $8 for hand sanitizer is crazy expensive but it doesn't dry out your hands or leave them slipper or have a strong scent. Although it does have a scent but like another said it isn't a strong lavender scent but I disagree with that commentator as what draws me to this product is the fact it isnt drying/leaves hands slipper. If your buying this for lavendar scent look elsewhere but if you want a non drying & non slippery hand sanitizer buy it! I just wish this product wasnt as expensive.

Disappointing

I expected a better lavender scent. It's just not that special.

Hard to squeeze out of tube, moisturizing
-01.13.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, scented, thicker than most hand sanitizers, jelly-like consistency
This has a blobby, almost Jello-like consistency, and at first I couldn't even get it to squirt out of the tube. I had to enlarge the hole in the lid of the tube, and even then it was difficult.
I love the lavender scent, but ended up squirting the entire container into a Purell bottle and cutting it with enough unscented Purell to make the consistency more usable.
I think this is definitely more moisturizing that regular drugstore hand sanitizer.
It's possible that the one I got wasn't sealed properly and dried out on the shelf before I bought it. The next time I'm in Sephora I'll try their tester and update the review if I did in fact receive a dud. If the consistency is the same, I'll finish up what I have (cut with Purell), but won't repurchase.

Smells good
-12.24.12
I bought this on accident, the lady helping me handed it to me thinking it was the lotion. I didn't realize it was hand sanitizer gel till I got home so it ended up going back to sephora. It's getting 5 stars cause it smells good.

Clean scent and doesn't dry your hand out. Your hands feel clean after you use it, not like those other cheap brands.

six stars!

Quick Take: non drying, effective, lightly scented
This product is awesome. no killer alcohol smell, no drying out of the hands! Smooth and clean and lightly scented lavender. Scent is not overpowering either which is great if you are about to eat in a restaurant.

Good smell, weird texture
-08.31.12
Smells great. Comes out of the bottle weird, and clumpy. Have to squeeze quite a bit to get it to come out. Very strange. It's ok, not sure if I will by again. Maybe try a different scent and see if it was just the one bottle.

This item smells highly medicinal and very strong not a pleasant smell. Not worth the price, I returned this product immediately.

Makes my skin feel soft
-07.16.12
Quick Take: scented, moisturizing, sanitizing
This smells exactly like lavender essential oil. And I noticed that it is a little thicker than regular hand sanitizer so it is easier to apply.

this is a very good product
-06.29.12
My only complaint is that I wish the tube were a little bigger. This has a pleasant smell and a nice texture. I am addicted to hand gel and I love that this doesnt have the usual alchohol smell of a drug store brand.

Quick Take: scented, organic, no parabens
Works as well as any hand sanitizer. The only difference is that I enjoy using this thanks to the lavender scent, nice packaging, and it's organic.
