I always keep a bottle of handwash in both my kitchen and my bathroom, and usually buy the boots essentials range, which costs 89p a bottle. Recently Boots had a buy one get one free offer on Radox products, and as their handwash cost £1.79, I figured it worked out about the same for a better known brand, and put two in my basket.
~Using it~
I've found that one pump of handwash is more than enough to get your hands clean, so it's best to only push the dispenser nozzle about halfway down, or you will get too much liquid. The product lathers up easily under warm water, and it left my hands feeling soft and clean. It doesn't have anti-bacterial properties which is a shame though. The handwash is PH balanced and dermatologically tested.
~Fragrance~
One of the fragrances from the many on offer was the 'aroma burst' handwash. The liquid being bright orange in colour and having a picture of an orange on the front of the bottle, I was expecting a strong citrus fragrance from this. When I dispensed the product onto my hand I couldn't actually smell anything. Lifting my hand to my nose, there was a slightly fruity smell, although it didn't smell like oranges. The product also contains olive essence - I don't know if that has an olive like smell, but if it does, I couldn't detect it in this product. Once I'd actually used this, the slight fruity smell did stay on my hands for some time, although you could only really tell by putting your hands to your nose as the smell was so subtle.
~Packaging~
The handwash comes in a 300ml, clear bottle through which you can see the bright orange liquid. It has a silver-coloured pump action dispenser. The dispenser is quite large, which I found useful, as with some of the smaller ones, your hand can slip from the pump when pressing it down. There is a picture of a slice of orange and an olive sprig as well as the Radox logo.
~Price and other info~
This cost £1.79 from Boots, which I think is too expensive for a handwash, and I wouldn't have bought it had it not been on a buy one get one free offer.

~My Opinion~
As well as being a bit on the pricey side compared to similar products, I was a bit disappointed with the scent. With a name like 'Aroma Burst' you would expect a strong fragrance, but unfortunately this product did not deliver. It got my hands clean though, which is the job it's meant to do. Overall I would say this is pretty average, and I will not be buying it again.
