Germ-X Advanced Hand Sanitizer with Aloe and Vitamin E, 1 L
A low cost 1 liter pump gel for counters, with fragrance and less alcohol than the original.
We bought Instant Hand Sanitizer 1000 ml (1L), Gel, 75% Ethyl Alcohol, Aloe Vera & Vitamin E, Lemon Fragrance. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. Its Amazon listing now points to this Germ-X 1 L gel, which shares the aloe and vitamin E formula and pump bottle size.
The short version
- Households that refill small bottles from one big one
- Front desks, garages and shared spaces
- Anyone who finds plain alcohol gels drying
- You specifically want a 75% or higher alcohol gel
- You avoid added fragrance or color dyes
- You need something to carry in a pocket
What owners like
- Dries fast without a sticky film
- Large bottle lasts a long time for the money
- Pump gives a controlled amount each press
- Pleasant, light scent
Common complaints
- The pump can leak if the bottle tips over
- Too large to carry, so a small bottle is still needed for a bag
- Contains fragrance and dyes, which some people prefer to avoid
Based on The Germ-X drug facts label filed with DailyMed, the Amazon listing title, a Costco Business Delivery listing for the unscented 1 L version and a Personal Heal roundup of sanitizers that covers this bottle. No independent lab test was read, so the themes lean on that roundup and the ingredient list..

What it does
A 1 liter pump bottle of 70% ethyl alcohol hand sanitizer gel with aloe and vitamin E, reviewed here in place of the 75% lemon scented 1 liter gel it closely matches.
- Pump top for one handed dispensing
- Germ-X states it kills 99.99% of many common germs in as little as 15 seconds
- Aloe, vitamin E and glycerin added to cut down on dryness
- Rub in and let dry, no water or towel needed
- An unscented Advanced version is sold in the same 1 L size
A sensible pick for a home, office or shop counter that goes through a lot of sanitizer and wants a big pump bottle with a familiar label. The trade-offs are a lower alcohol share than the 75% gel it replaces, an added fragrance and dyes, and a bottle that is too bulky to carry.
