Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion + giveaway

Even before I received these from Renouve, I was already enthralled by the pretty packaging featured on the website. And when they arrived, I had to consciously remind myself that I should not use them on my face. I mean, just look at them, don’t they look like some upmarket facial products? But they’re not! They’re actually hand sanitizers! More specifically, they’re touted as the world’s first luxury anti-aging hand sanitizing lotion made with collagen stimulating peptides.

Non-oil formula to nurture skin
Made in Switzerland, the Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion was created to eliminate germs without drying out our hands. Described as 95% natural, the lotion is made with bitter orange peel extract, a certified organic antibacterial free of alcohol and parabens. More noteworthy is the inclusion of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, a deep penetrating ingredient developed to stimulate and produce collagen while actively diminishing wrinkles, firming and moisturizing the skin. So this lotion is a non-oil based formula that allows the ingredients to penetrate and nurture the skin to show the best possible results while the absence of alcohol prevents the skin from drying out and loosing it’s own natural protective layer. According to information on the website, Renouve has undergone numerous independent studies to prove its antibacterial efficacy. The studies proved Renouve kills 99.99% of bacteria. In addition, Renouve has also undergone and passed dermatology safety assessment tests.

Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion, 30ml

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylecllulose, Citrus Aurantium Arama (Bitter Orange) Peel Extract 2%*, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Sorbate, Parfum, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate. *certified organic ingredient

Some people may question the inclusion of both butylene glycol and propylene glycol, which are types of alcohol that function as solvent moisturizers. However, unlike most sanitizers that contain some 60% alcohol, this formula is not alcohol-based and hence, not drying. In fact, when I first used this, I completely forgot that it’s a hand sanitizer; I wouldn’t say my hands were moisturized but they looked a lot younger and definitely felt a lot softer and smoother. So I am impressed! This is truly a luxurious hand sanitizing lotion that yields a totally different feel from the norm, and it comes with a sweet scent that is said to be a signature fragrance made by Swiss CosmoLab.

Price and availability
Renouve is available in six different color schemes; from elegant grays to playful bursts of color and pure gold. The 30ml bottle is small and handy, and make a worthy travel companion. I received the No.1 & 6 on a complimentary basis from the company and I understand that some of the collection are currently available internationally on Beauty Expert at £22.00. The full collection will become internationally available at Renouve for US$29 this week, with the option of receiving it via DHL or tracked post. Yeah, the price is rather steep for a sanitizing lotion but considering that this one is made with collagen stimulating peptides to improve the skin texture on your hands, I’ll say the price tag is justified. It’s worth a try if you are willing to pay for the sake of your hands.

Comments

  1. Aesha says:

    1. I do use hand sanitizer. Less now since I don’t have as much direct contact with clients. And yes, it has alcohol.
    2. I hate the smell of the hand sanitizer I use now, so anything different is appealing. Also, my hands are so incredibly dry that I hate adding sanitizer to the mix because it’ll keep up the cycle. ?

  2. Jasmine says:

    1. I’m using sanitizer everyday, as I need to pick my baby from her infant care, so sanitizer is a MUST for me. It contain 73.4% alcohol.

    2. Renouve is a non-alcohol based, and the packaging is very nice.

  3. MKay says:

    1. Hand sanitizer is like an “instant” soap for me. To me, having clean hands is TOTALLY important. Since I’m prone to sickness, allergies, and other bacterial infections, I try my very best to keep everything Germ free. Especially since it comes to me touching my skin 24/7.
    2. I did hear alot of hazards and dangerous facts about using hand sanitizer, so the thing that appealed to me the most was that its doesnt have any alcohol in it. Also the fact that it also has collegen in it, sparkles my eyes. It looks so unique conparing to other hand sanitizers out there on the market.

  4. Phyllis Lee says:

    1. My current sanitizer has alcohol and parfum. I bought it before I was educated with the bad of the Dirty Dozen and I must admit, the strong lavender fragrance was the buying point then.
    2. I’ve never heard of sanitizing lotion, the ones I use are mostly gel and they make my hands drier then it already is. I must say I’m most intrigued by the ingredients and the fact that it is a lotion!

  5. Lanie says:

    1. Do you use a hand sanitizer and does it contain alcohol? Yes, I use a DIY hand sanitizer made from a shot glass of London Dry Gin (food grade alcohol) — other alcohol is banned in our house specially isopropyl alcohol).. a quart of water, 1 tbsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of Dr. Bronner’s liquid soap.
    2. What appeals to you about Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion?
    It seems like the ingredients are all natural and does not contain toxic types of alcohol, most of all it seems it moisturizes the hand and smells good too. Why cant natural, feel and smell good? I definitely want to try this.

  6. Sagorika Dasgupta says:

    Yes, I do use a hand sanitizer regularly. Specially when I am out of the house and it may always not be convenient to look out for a wash room to wash hands, specially before meals, I always carry a hand sanitizer in my bag. Also because I am paranoid when I touch publically handled items like rods in MRTs, escalator railings, cab doors etc which have been touched by so many people, I feel harmful bacteria may get transferred onto me. I loved the concept of a luxury sanitizer, the ones available now are just functionsl, plus they have ingredients I would love to avoid if there was an option! And I think a woman’s hand should look young and pretty always……..it deserves the pampering:)

  7. Sagorika Dasgupta says:

    I use the Dettol hand sanitizer and it contains the following ingredients: Denatured alcohol 69.4% w/w, water, PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer, propylene glycol, acrylates/C10-30, alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, tetra hydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, perfume. Renovue contains Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylecllulose, Citrus Aurantium Arama (Bitter Orange) Peel Extract 2%*, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Sorbate, Parfum, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate and is 95% natural! Who wouldn’t prefer this over the alcohol based hand sanitizers?!

  8. aibicon says:

    I dont use hand sanitizer as they contain alcohol.Although it kills germs but it also makes my hand dry. My hand is already vry drying due to chores and washing and eczema(little patches on my fingers). Applying hand sanitizer will only make my hand even drier.

    This product contains orange peel extract which has disinfectant effect. It also contains aloe vera and vit E to sooth our skin. I think it not only acts as a hand sanitizer, it also acts as a hand lotion that also does moisturizing. Most importantly, it is handy and can be put into my pouch together with my lip balm!#k8SjZc9Dxk#k8SjZc9Dxk

  9. Alexandra says:

    1. Currently, I am using Dettol hand sanitizer and contains a high percentage of alcohol.
    2. I like that it uses natural ingredients and at the same time, doesn’t dry out the hands. Plus, the packaging is gorgeous!

  10. Nika says:

    1. I use hand sanitizer. It is in my bag all the time. And yes, it does contain alcohol. And I hate the smell.
    2. This Renouve sanitizer really looks like some high-end moisturizer. I’ve never heard for a product like this, sanitizer and lotion in one. I would like to try this.

  11. Germaine says:

    1. I used hand sanitizer such as dettol and lifebuoy in the past but now using wet tissues. yes the dettol hand sanitizer contains alcohol and the ingredients in lifebuoy are not safe either. the smell makes me feel uncomfortable and drys my skin also.

    2. the ingredients & I believe that my hands will be softer and smoother after i use this. Maybe I will not need to spent any more money on hand cream because Renouve is 2 in 1. ? i must say that i am really attracted to the nice packaging too. ?

  12. Florence says:

    1. I do not use a hand sanitizer. Primarily for reasons such as these: contains too much alcohol, and dangerous chemicals. Secondary reasons include: lack of an OCD that compels me to kill germs on my hands all the time! Also, the range of hand sanitizers available on the market are too mediocre to justify buying.

    2. The packaging appeals superbly to my feminine side. The texture of the sanitizer looks more like a hand serum (Are you sure it is not a facial serum? Teehee). The word OIL-FREE screams out to me. The dreaded alcohol is absent from the ingredient list. Last but not least, your own glowing review seemed to be the icing on top of this delish looking cake. After reading this, who wouldn’t want to try out this luxury product, OCD or no OCD? Purse strings permitting of course.

  13. Jenny says:

    1. I don’t use hand sanitizers but I know my mom does at work. They contain lots of alcohol which dries out her hands. The smell is according to her sort of stingy and disappears within a few seconds.

    2. What appeals to me with Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion would be the moisturising effect it has that I think would be great for those who uses hand sanitizers with alcohol. That, and it kills off bacterias. The appealing look of the products allows one to use when at a restaurant or café without looking like someone with OCD.

  14. sos says:

    1. I do use a sanitizer and it has alcohol
    2. I love its packaging and the fact that it seems to be good for your skin

  15. Taya says:

    1. I use hand sanitizer ever since I became a mom! Yea, the brand I am currently using, does contain alcohol.
    2. Renovue can save space in my handbag; I don’t have to tote a separate hand cream anymore!!! Additionally, its anti aging properties will give me my youthful hands back!

  16. Pauline says:

    Just went to the website it seems its not yet available online. Do you have any idea when it will be available. Planning to get one to try out, nice packing and the word “anti aging” can make me feel so tempted.

  17. Jinnie says:

    1. I don’t use hand sanitiser, don’t come into contact with a lot of germs
    2. the packaging and collagen properties <3

  18. Sophie says:

    1. Yes, I do use a hand sanitizer and it irritates my hands, probably due to the alcohol. Haven’t been able to find one that doesn’t irritate as much.
    2. I’d love to try Rnouve because it has no drying alcohol and it has collagen, to my hands look younger, YAY!

  19. Sesame says:

    I was told sometime this week. ?

  20. Saralyn says:

    1. Do you use a hand sanitizer and does it contain alcohol?
    Yes, I use a hand sanitizer and it doesn’t contain alcohol.
    2. What appeals to you about Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion?
    It is 95% natural. Using natural ingredients is very important for the skin.

  21. Veron Ng says:

    1. I use Dettol hand sanitizer and it contains alcohol.
    2. Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing is 95% natural and has anti-aging and moisturizing effect.

  22. Kafi says:

    1. Yes, i use a hand sanitizer made from alcohol.
    2. It seems like the ingredients are all natural and does not contain toxic types of alcohol, most of all it seems it moisturizes the hand and smells good too. I would really love to try this

  23. Whitney says:

    1. I do use a sanitizer and it does contain alcohol. It seems to contain a lot of alcohol because it tends to dry my hands more than moisturize them.
    2. I like the idea of a natural santizer that also has anti-aging benefits because your hands tend to age just as fast, if not faster than your face!

  26. Min Hui says:

    1. Yes, it contains alcohol.
    2. Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion appeals to me as it is not alcohol-based. Thus , it does cause any drying effects on my hands!

  27. gin says:

    1. i am a medical student and i had to use hand sanitizer EVERYDAY after EVERY patient that i examine… and yes the one that i tote around does contain alcohol…
    2. i am always in search of something effective but not harsh on my skin! alcohol based hand sanitizer tends to be very drying after a while, especially with my high frequency of applying. Therefore, when i read ‘this formula is not alcohol-based and hence, not drying.’ i really really wanna try this! The anti aging part is appealing to me too! They always said: a woman’s hands tell her age isnt it?

  28. Krystal says:

    Yep! I use a hand sanitizer and it contains much alcohol- like the ones that are found all around the hospitals though it’s a school.

    It contains organic orange peel extract and it’s alcohol free! (Y)

  29. Carol says:

    1. I use Bath & Body Works hand sanitizer and it contains 68% alcohol. I don’t use it everyday because it dries out my hands.

    2. Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion does not contain alcohol and has ingredients to stimulate and produce collagen for the skin.

  30. Audris says:

    1. Yes I do and yes it contains Ethyl Alcohol (62%!) – it’s right in front of me now which is why I have the % ?
    2. Wow, where do I start? You had me at:
    (a) The chic, classy, feminine, discreet and slim packaging with a different one catering to every single mood! Being a woman, WE know all about moods!
    (b) No alcohol, bye-bye nasty moisture stripping ingredient.
    (c) I’m really impressed that a hand sanitiser is also a skincare item in you. There’s Palmitoyl Tripeptides, an ingredient I spot in many of my skincare items that I use on my face. Hands are often neglected and this will help take some years off mine!

  31. thian says:

    1. I always use a sanitizer and I prefer non-alcohol
    2. I like the packaging, and I am considering to get them for my mum ?

  32. Juliana Sng says:

    1. I tend to use hand sanitizers frequently, but I have not found a good one. All I have used contain alcohol that are drying.

    2. I like the fact that it is a lotion that doesn’t strip moisture from my hands, despite it being a sanitizer.

  33. mandy says:

    1. i dont use a hand sanitizer cos i hate the smell and drying effect of alcohol.
    2. the pretty packaging and good alcohols. ok and the luxe factor hehe.

  34. Karin Yong says:

    1. I do not use hand sanitizer especially Dettol cos I have eczema on my hands so I am afraid to dry up my hands.
    2. Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion is make up of natural ingredient which will not dry out my skin with harsh chemical.

  35. eddy says:

    1. I use hand sanitizer and it does contain alcohol.
    2. I like the fact that Renouve’s hand lotion is easy on the hands and prevents signs of aging.

  36. Cheryl says:

    1. Hand sanitizer is my family’s necessity but most of them contain alkohol. It’s hard to get a non-alkohol hand sanitizer especially for me who have eczema problem.

    2. Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion might be the one I am looking for which without harsh chemical, safe for my famlily with skin problem.

  37. Jay says:

    1. I stopped using hand sanitizers for a while as the one that I was using was of hospital grade and was totally drying for my already super dry hands.
    2. The Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion caught my attention as it doesn’t contain alcohol, is handy to be brought around in my handbag, and has anti-aging properties. I think it will suit my extremely dry hands caused by a lot of daily washing and baking.

  38. KL says:

    Alcohol is an evil liquid IMO (lol), and I realized the adverse drying effects on my hands when I first started using a toner that contained alcohol. Brief exposure to it with my fingers already caused skin in that area to start peeling badly. Thus, I avoided hand sanitizers as much as possible, even though I like the idea of having clean hands all the time (i just try to wash them more often! ? )

    Renouve Anti-Aging Hand Sanitizing Lotion will be a savior for my hand! The lack of alcohol makes it really appealing and I really like the use of plant based extracts in this lotion! Certainly a solution for me when I travel aboard, or something to use when I am on the go! ?

  39. Agnieszka M says:

    1. No, I don’t use products like that. But I know I should because I travel by bus everyday :<
    2. I've never used anti-agning lotion before. Also it isn't contain alcohol so I think it's a way better than ordinary hand cream ?

  40. Elaine says:

    1. I don’t really use sanitizers at times because quite a few has caused weird red looking hands or even stinging so … arghh???

    2. I really like the packaging! It’s pretty, the sanitizer has a cool colour but the most important part of all is all the ingredients that are packed into this sanitizer – it’s like a SUPER SANITISER :DD which looks like it’s good for sensitive skin . oh yeah ;D

  41. Sesame says:

    The stinging could be due to the alcohol and possibly the essential oils. This one does not irritate though.
