Washing your hands properly with water and soap or a gentle non-soap based cleanser such as QV Gentle Wash is one of the best ways to help prevent COVID-19.

Cleansers work by lifting dirt and contaminants like bacteria and viruses from the skin.

Soap and non-soap based cleansers do exactly the same thing; they clean the skin. A key difference though is the type of ingredient used to do this. We have more information specifically relating to hand hygiene here: https://www.egoskinexpert.com.au/coronavirus-and-hand-washing/ where you can read about why an alkaline product like soap can alter the skins composition and potentially lead to irritation. Non-soap based cleansers such as QV Gentle Wash will work just as well as soap without aggravating your skin.
