Hey there,
In the wake of the recent COVID-19 global pandemic, Ego Pharmaceuticals has received questions regarding the effectiveness of its non-soap based cleansers such as QV Wash and QV Gentle Wash.
In short, both soap and non-soap based cleansers do exactly the same thing; they clean the skin. The difference is in how the products are made and their composition, not their effectiveness. Non-soap based cleansers will work just as well as soap without aggravating your skin, which is due to non-soap cleansers being pH balanced and therefore gentle on the skin.
Both soap and non-soap cleaners work by lifting dirt and contaminants like bacteria and viruses from the skin. The mechanical action of hand washing also plays a part; the act of rubbing your hands together can help to lift contaminants from the skin. In fact, the mechanical action of washing your hands is a major reason why cleansing with water and either soap or a non-soap based cleanser is the preferred method.
