Purdy & Figg Original Citrus Hand Sanitiser Spray (Pack of 3)

Great product

Fantastic

Smells lovely and the spray means you don’t get too much. But I bought a pack of 3 and all of the bottles leak, so I can’t keep one in my handbag as I’d intended.

I use hand sanitiser all the time as I work in a hospital, and as I love citrusy smells I thought this would be perfect - I could wander round trailing a fresh citrus smell in my wake!It was not to be unfortunately. The first spray brings a very strong smell of alcohol, and when it dries down there is a faint citrus smell left behind. If you hold your hands up to your nose you can smell it, but otherwise not.The suggestion for use is 3 sprays on each hand, rub in for 30 seconds, and then 3 more sprays on each hand before rubbing in again for 30 seconds. Because it is a fine mist, it dries very quickly on your hands unlike the gel hand sanitisers which require more rubbing in, and I presume would be more effective because of that. At their suggested rate of usage, I would get through a bottle every day at work!It's a shame. They are well packaged and come in lovely blue bottles and having been developed by a NHS nurse, I would have loved to be able to give them a 5 star review.

While it does smell nice, the amount you get out on a spray, or three sprays for that matter, is unlikely to do much for your hands other than make them smell. I suggest you apply liberally to get any effect just as you would with the gel, then it will work because it is 70% alcohol. That's about it really. Apply liberally.

I was intrigued by the fact that it could be sprayed to your hands because personally I’m not a fan of the sticky feeling of gels. I’m fond of how easy the application is although the touch it leaves is less “kind” than I expected. You can definitely sense the invasive/strong alcohol and it even burns a little. For people who have sensitive skin it may not be the best day-to-day experience to have.Let’s be honest, it is a product on the pricey side, especially for those whose safety is dependent on frequent sanitising during a global pandemic. For me it works just fine as I don’t go out often anymore. It is questionable to me whether a hand sanitiser spray is really competitive enough to stand out amongst the £2 bottles commonly seen on the shelf. After all, sanitising your hands really shouldn’t be considered as a luxury, in the current climate.

Fantastic idea, smells amazing with a hint of that alcohol smell, it isn't too bad though. Love that they are a spray rather than a squirt, as you always use to much. With these bottles one spray is enough.Only down side is i find that bottles leak alittle, not ideal for handbags etc.Would recommend tho, I really like them.

Having a hand sanitiser in the form of a spray is very interesting. I have used a lot of hand sanitiser over the last year so I can testify to the fact that this one is genuinely different from others and doesn't feel like a sanitiser. It is all-natural and makes my hands smell great and feel moisturised whilst cleaning them effectively. Three sprays on each hand should be sufficient. It starts off with a strong alcohol smell but soon settles into a subtle and fresh citrusy fragrance. It is a colourless liquid that evaporates quickly and doesn't make my hands feel sticky or wet. It contains Witch Hazel and pure essential oils which I can only imagine is a good thing.I also love the fact that the bottles are not plastic, recyclable, refillable and travel-sized. You get a large 250ml bottle separately which can be used to refill the bottles. There seems to be a perfect balance between all the ingredients which makes it effective at killing harmful bacteria. Finally, a scented hand sanitiser spray that smells beautiful, moisturises and kills germs.
