I know all the benefits of hand sanitizer but I didn’t care. The only thing I cared about was the fact that the minute it touched my hands I wanted to cry. See, I suffer from severe psoriasis and have open wounds all over my skin. My hands are one of my worst areas. On top of the open wounds they also dry out and crack and bleed. It’s not pretty. So, in the past when I thought of hand sanitizer I thought of pain and burning. I’d rather take my chances with the germs then have it feel like someone is cutting may hands off.
Then I tried Veripur Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer and that theory had to get pushed aside. There was no burn because it contains no alcohol. In fact this was like no other hand sanitizer I’ve ever used! This was like a lotion. It soothed my skin, made it feel better! Not just that but it didn’t just kill 99.9% of the germs on my hands but it will work at keeping my hands germ free for the next 4+ hours!

I actually had a chance to try out Veripur Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer back in NYC at BlogHer. I was impressed then but when I got home I couldn’t find it anywhere. I am super excited to see to find out that it is now available at Walgreen’s! If you can’t find it in your local Walgreen’s you can get it online too!

That’s interesting. I’ll have to look into that. My mother and I both have Dyshidrotic eczema on our hands. I never could use regular hand sanitizer. Dermatitis sucks!
I’m glad there is an alternative to the heavy alcohol gells out there, I never liked them. Not only are they drying, but I always felt sticky after using them and often wondered whether that would just allow the germs to stick to you better. Thanks for the review, I’ll be looking for this at my next Walgreens stop.
I haven’t heard of this brand before, but my skin is so sensitive and the alcohol based hand sanitizers always dry it out so badly. This looks like a great alternative. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great information! My big problem with hand sanitizer is that it is so drying! I would feel more comfortable with my kids using this too. I will have to check this out.
