Only recommended as a gift.
ConsIn fact, there are many cost-effective soaps, but for hand washing, this volume at this price is not that great. Solid (soap) is more eco-friendly than liquid wash, lasts longer, and doesn't produce plastic waste, which is good.

There is also a hint of mint, making it a refreshing citrus aroma rather than just a sour one. The citrus scent reminds me of the 'Verbena' fragrance from L'Occitane. L'Occitane's Verbena has less of the bitter peel note and is more uplifting and slightly cooling, while Kiehl's has a slightly more mature bitterness that adds to the fragrance. If you like L'Occitane's Verbena, you'll likely enjoy this as well. The packaging is a transparent plastic bottle with a twist-open cap, similar to a body lotion, making it convenient to carry around. The pump also feels sturdy and works well. The product lathers up like a foaming soap, so using just a small amount, about the size of a fingertip, is sufficient. Using too much can leave the skin feeling quite dry. The cleansing power is good, and it rinses off easily. It's better to use a moderate amount and wash a few times rather than using a large amount at once, as this helps prevent the skin from becoming overly dry. The amount of foam is average, and after washing, there is a slightly squeaky-clean feeling, which I find pleasant. Some cleansers can leave a slippery, unclean feeling, but this one doesn't, so you don't feel the need to keep washing. The fragrance is not overpowering, but it lingers subtly on the hands even after washing.
ConsThe price is really just for the brand name. If I had to buy this with my own money, I would absolutely not purchase it. I'm only using it because it was a gift. The ingredients are quite disappointing, almost as bad as regular drugstore soaps. For the high price, I expected a much better formulation, but it seems very unethical. It lathers up quickly and rinses off easily, but given the brand name and high price, I wish the quality matched up better. Personally, I don't have major issues with the fragrance, but it can come across as a strong lemon scent if used incorrectly. Some visitors to my home have commented that it smells like the cheap 'Pongpong' hand washes. I feel the fragrance is closer to that generic lemon scent than the more sophisticated Verbena from L'Occitane. Brands like Jo Malone are also very expensive, but at least the fragrances are more diverse and clearly high-quality, giving the sense that the price is justified by the expertise. With Kiehl's, it just feels like...well, disappointment.
TipIf this product is discontinued, that's actually a relief. Given the disappointing quality, high price, and generic fragrance, it's probably better that it's no longer available. It seems the brand was not able to deliver a hand wash product worthy of the Kiehl's reputation and price point. The discontinuation spares consumers from wasting money on an underwhelming product. In this case, it's fortunate that this particular Kiehl's hand wash is no longer being sold.

Especially with the increased emphasis on the importance of handwashing during the pandemic, this will be a thoughtful present! The grapefruit scent lingers during and after use, leaving you feeling refreshed and uplifted. The amount of lather is just right, with effective cleansing that leaves your hands feeling clean. The pump dispenser makes it easy for anyone to use, young or old.
ConsMy hands felt extremely dry after using this, so hand cream is a must!!

The aloe makes my hands feel moisturized after washing. It doesn't just have a grapefruit scent, but also has a hint of chamomile, which makes it feel more luxurious! The packaging is also beautiful, making it perfect as a housewarming gift.
ConsThe volume is a bit small compared to the price? If you buy the large refill size, you can use it more economically.
