Prefenz Hand Sanitizer

My friend Heather told me about how Prefenz Hand Sanitizer is supposed to last through 10 washes or 24 hour. With all the illnesses going around I decided it couldn’t hurt to get some. It was a whopping $17 for an 8oz bottle, which is supposed to last 366 pumps. That was a couple weeks ago. I went to Hy-Vee yesterday to get a bottle for my grandparents and was pleasantly surprised to find the same bottle on sale for $9. Or, they had a purse-sized 1.5 oz bottle for $4.

So far I like it, it doesn’t have alcohol and doesn’t dry your hands like the other alcohol based hand sanitizers. Short of not getting sick lately, I cannot comment on the validity of its claims, however. I had every intention of looking into this product a little deeper, reading reviews and case studies of its effectiveness. But, my friend Tim (Heather’s husband) beat me to it. And, he probably did a much better job of scrutinizing its claims. He’s somewhat cynical of Prefenz, but if you read his post on the product I think his thoughts are reasonable since there are little to no true. unbiased third party opinions.

So, it’s probably easier to just say yeah…what he said.
