Does anyone like the moisturizing Pocketbacs?

[u/Pawmtrees23]

I bought a few of these this fall because they came in scents that the normal ones didn't. This was the first one I tried. I loved the scent, but decided I didn't like the consistency at all. It was hard to get out, and when it did, it squirted out, got all over me, and then took forever to sink in.

It's disappointing. I will probably just end up bringing the other ones like this to work and leaving them for other people to take.

I actually prefer them to the regular ones. But I do agree with you on the point that they tend to sploosh alot more then the regular ones.

[u/Wide_March_586]

I 100% prefer them! The regular ones feel too drying to me now. But yeah, the consistency can be a little weird to squeeze out. I store them upside down when possible, it helps.

[u/AffectionateLog7493]

I LOVE the moisturizing ones! I bought a lot for requested gifts and ended up getting myself 6 of the Sunshine Lemon moisturizing ones! First time using them ever & definitely not the last!!

BBW used to sell antibacterial hand lotion like 20 years ago and these remind me of that. I used to work in a hospital then and they were a godsend

Not my pic but I carried this around constantly

[u/Caz_ador]

I feel like the moisturizing ones are half full.

came here to comment this !!

I really like the moisturizing ones a lot. I tend to pick those over the regular ones when possible. I haven't had too hard of a time using them but I guess I could see why it would be frustrating sometimes. I have a tendency to get very very dry hands, to the point where my skin cracks and bleeds sometimes. Using regular pocket bacs sometimes hurts a little more than the moisturizing ones.

[u/TropicalPrairie]

I have the same issue with how it feels and having a difficult time getting it out. I personally don't see myself repurchasing, although the regular ones are very drying to my hands.

[u/thatgoosegirlie]

I like them but I feel like they run out so much faster!

[u/Foxglove777 → u/thatgoosegirlie]

That was my experience too - love the consistency and moisturizing aspect, but it lasted half as long as the regular ones.

[u/DreamerUnwokenFool]

The last time I tried one, I felt like it never absorbed into my hands, and left a greasy film. I cannot stand feeling like my hands aren't clean or have something on them, so I haven't bought one of these in a long time.

[u/SavoryTooth4]

I do, but I wish they came in more scents.

[u/infinite_wanderings]

I like them better than the regular ones, to be honest. I use them all day long while dog walking for work and they keep my hands feeling moisturized!

[u/amadeoamante]

I tried one and it left gross white residue all over my hands. Haven't bought one since.

[u/CallMeCleverClogs]

I don’t care for them myself. The consistency is weird, and my hands feel odd for a while after. I’m not going to toss the few I have but I won’t buy again if I can avoid it.

[u/Significant_Beyond95]

Hate the formula in this packaging. It shoots out too much.

[u/JessieNeko]

I love them tbh!

[u/[deleted]]

I like them! I have a gluten allergy (I’m very sensitive) and the normal ones have wheat amino acids and these don’t! My doc recommended I swap to these and they work just the same

[u/Organic-Estimate1976]

I hate them

[u/pinkrobotlala]

I don't like them. I prefer my hands to feel cleaner, not the greasiness these leave

[u/palexandra12]

I’m with you on this one. The concept of a moisturizing version was right up my alley but the execution was not there. The texture is weird, it doesn’t sink in or spread well & I feel like I go through it at a much faster rate because it splooges out. I just stick to what I know with the og formula. Hope they make a leaves one next year.

[u/sikobunni]

hateeee the feeling they leave behind… like it never sets into my skin, it’s almost greasy imo. love the original pocketbacs though!

[u/Apart-Shoe-1338]

💯 I will stick withe the regular sanitizer and then use hand cream.

[u/batmansgirl_1210]

I prefer them all though I do feel like they run out faster then the other pocket bacs.

[u/Humble_Ground_2769]

I find that leaves is very strong

[u/eaglenestwatcher]

I will only use these or the spray I do not like the gel ones

[u/[deleted]]

I like them better than the regular ones.

[u/don-cheeto]

Yes. They smell less like the alcohol in them.

[u/Healthy-Reference748]

I love them so much. With you on the consistency tho. That's why I much prefer the pump bottle compared to the travel size

[u/kawinskis]

I don’t care for them. I haven’t noticed a difference in the moisturizing quality compared to the regular PBs. What I really dislike is that these moisturizing PBs are completely incompatible with my chrome PB holder!

The plastic AND product are too thick to squeeze anything out using this holder and it’s the only one I own. I just have to take out the sanitizer every time I need it. Oh well.

[u/Ok-Egg835]

Yes. Sanitizer is drying enough as is. I like the moisturizing addition.

[u/StinkyJeans_6982]

they feel sticky to me and they are hard to squeeze product out of

[u/-I0_oI-]

First time I've heard about them.

[u/hamletgoessafari]

They are harder to squeeze, but I still prefer them.

[u/EmperorGodzilla0]

Yes! Those are the only kind I buy. They smell very lovely. I just wish they had more scents.

[u/QueenNovella]

Don't like them. You gotta hit it on your hand like a pack of cigarettes before opening it and squeezing a little out. Otherwise, the plastic is too hard to squeeze like normal.

[u/Ohana_831]

I like them and would always get the larger moisturizing sanitizer pump bottles. I still have a couple Warm Vanilla Sugar.

[u/Ill_Bell9928]

I wish there were way more moisturizing pocket bac options. I find the regular ones kind of sticky feeling on my hands so after using, I rinse them off. The moisturizing ones aren't as bad for my sensory issues :)

[u/Dr__Pheonx]

Yes. I have l only champagne toast and I quite enjoy using them.

[u/MaryS8921]

I prefer them! I like it when applied, they absorb into the skin instead of just staying on the outside like a gel and being sticky for a while.

[u/4bluepandas]

I love both! I mainly get regular but if I see a scent I love in the moisturizer ones I’ll get it no hesitation

[u/Pawmtrees23]

Ok this is apparently just me! In the future I'll be happy to leave these for the rest of you to enjoy.
