I picked this up a while back during one of the B&BW semi annual sales. I happend to like C.O. Bigelow products and this one is also a favorite. The "Lemon" scent is not overly tart or harsh but has an almost Lemon Meringue pie scent to it. I use this in my bathroom mainly to wash off all the hair styling product off of my hands and this does it with out drying out my hands.

Bigelow Lemon is the only hand soap I use in my home - in the kitchen
and both bathrooms. Natural light fresh lemon scent that doesn't
linger, lathers well, so men as well as women can enjoy using this
everyday luxury.

I know some of you have a hard time justifying the $12 price tag of this soap but for someone who has a chronic skin condition the results far outweigh the price. I have eczema and many, many hand soaps had left my hands red, cracked, peeling and bleeding. This is the only hand soap I have used that has not turned my hands into a total mess. I buy this, full price or not, religiously.

Great stuff. I don't usually spring for expensive hand soap, but this stuff is super moisturizing, even when I'm having to wash my hands multiple times an hour. No cheaper alternative does that. The scent is also lovely, a very real lemon scent, nothing synthetic or irritating about it.

Love this hand soap. Not drying, lathers well, and one of the closest a product has come to really smelling like fresh squeezed lemon.

Really like this hand soap: not excessively drying, no film left on hand or the sink, no artificial fragrance (just clean lemon scent). Pretty good deal when BBW is having the 2-for-1 sale.

I love the smell of lemons and this product smells very similar to lemons. I love it so much. the soap left my hands very soft, but i hate scented soaps for some reason.

I bought this with a coupon from BB&W, so it wasn't full price. However, and I should state that I'm a big liquid soap fan, I have sooo many bottles, I'm not in love with this product. I love the scent of lemon, but this doesn't quite get there for me. It's not a bad product, but it's not a great one either.

Very nice hand wash, with a great fresh lemon scent. Good at moisturizing, and doesn't make me sneeze like some of the supermarket hand soaps that others have mentioned below. The bottle looks great in the bathroom, perhaps it is the faint shiny pearly look of this soap that is so luxurious.

Absolutely fabulous hand soap. The scent is like fresh lemonade, but not so sweet. After washing, the lemon scent is nice and light on your hands as well. The only drawback is the price... $12 for hand soap... but it's definitely money well-spent.

i agree with the reviewer underneath me, this does look 'expensive' in our bathroom! It smells delicious, like lemons, and my mother enjoys the smell very much. I love smelling it on people, and even though it is $12 a pop, its a very nice soap.

I agree with the other MUA'er about this not being any better than Soft Soap. I also like that Soft Soap is antibacterial. This, I don't believe is.
I got this free with coupon w/ a $10.00 purchase. The bottle looks nice and "expensive" on my bathroom sink! The lemon scent is pleasant and it cleans well, but that just does not justifiy an outrageous $12.00 price tag! For that ammount I can buy 5 Soft Soaps!

I like this, don't get me wrong, but I really don't like it any better than Softsoaps hand wash, which is what has been in my bathroom for the past 15 years. I splurged on this on impulse because I love the lemon hand treatment and knew that this would have the same great scent. It does, and it's nicely moisturizing too, but for $12? Meh. It just doesn't do anything for me that Softsoaps can't do for $2.49. I'll use it up and no doubt enjoy it, but I wouldn't repurchase, and I'm giving it 3 stars for not being worth its insane price.

I just bought this today, so the sale is on, here, anyway still (down to $10). It's expensive for hand soap, but my hands are so chapped I have a bleeding knuckle, so any help I can get is great. I love the bigelow lemon body cream and the hand treatment cream, and I love this handwash too. Truly leaves your hands supple, moist, feeling wonderful, and LOVE the scent. I hope C.O. Bigelow just keeps adding to the lemon line. This works better than their chapped hands cleanser that comes in a jar, I think. That works, but, well, my hands never feel like they're really WASHED when I use it and they feel greasy. With the lemon one, I feel washed and moist but not greasy. Big thumbs up for this one.

I splurged on this expensive Hand Wash when it was on sale for $10 (down from the normal price of $12) when it debuted at Bath & Body Works. I tried it in the store and was amazed at how wonderful it is. It has the same creamy lemon scent that the Lemon Body Cream has, and is very moisturizing. This is one of the few hand washes that doesn't dry out my hands in the dead of winter. I like the shape of the packaging, although for price, they could have made this bottle glass instead of plastic (I know that a lot of people don't like glass bottles, but I do!). The lather is nice as well. Very nice, worth every penny I paid. If you have an extra $12 to spend, you won't be sorry!
