I had eczema on my hands, but the red bumps have healed. The redness disappeared after about 4 days. It's easy to use because my hands don't feel rough after washing. Even when I used hand cream, the backs of my hands would get flaky, but with this hand soap, there's no flaky skin (^^) I'm glad I bought it before trying the expensive hand soap (*´▽`*)
When COVID-19 was in full swing, my hands became rough from washing them so frequently. I searched for something suitable for my hands, and I found Curel, which I've been using ever since. Curel doesn't dry out my hands after washing, and the foam rinses off easily. Best of all, I'm grateful that it's available at most drugstores. There were other hypoallergenic products, but they were often out of stock the next time I went to the store, and it was a hassle to have to search for something else... I'll keep using it!
I just ran out of hand soap, so I bought this because I thought it would be good and gentle. It's not that expensive, but the cost performance isn't that great either. Of course, I felt that it was gentle on the skin after washing. So far, I haven't noticed any difference between this and other brands that are often on sale. I'll probably buy it again if I notice a difference after using it for a while.
I'm not sure about the moisturizing power, but the hand soap I use before cooking can have a strong smell and leave a bad smell on the food, so I like this one because it's odorless, which is a good thing. It rinses off easily and is easy to use.
It comes out as a foam. The foam rinses off easily. The foam itself is fluffy and one pump is enough to thoroughly cleanse your hands. It's non-drying and fragrance-free, so it's recommended for those who tend to have rough skin.
