Both me and my child get really sore hands that are really aggravated after washing our hands. Does anyone have any recommendations for antibacterial handwash that is kind to skin?

Soap doesn't need to be antibacterial to clean your hands. I use a bar of olive oil soap which is great for my eczema and warm water. Perfectly hygienic

I can only use the white Carex
Anything else makes my hands bleed

I’ve never heard of olive oil soap. We can’t use the white carex sadly

Anything antibacterial sets off my hands. I just use normal soap

I’m keen to stick to antibacterial as my son is pretty susceptible to every germ going round

I use Simple handwash at work and that is ok. Every other liquid soap makes my hands crack and bleed. Useful to decant into a travel bottle when I am out and about, too.
At home I prefer a natural hand soap, no particular brand I just buy anything that catches my eye and have a little stash.
