With the worrying Covid-19 pandemic disrupting lives and causing distress around the world, we can only do our part to flatten the curve by staying safe, being vigilant and maintain hygiene as much as possible.

Here’s a quick recap of how much bacteria and germs we are exposed to every day:

• Lift Buttons – 40X the amount of germs than a public toilet!
• Money – one bill contains 135,000 bacteria!
• Mobile Phone – has 25,000 germs per square inch!
• Desktop Computer – has 21,000 germs per square inch!

That’s why one of the most precious items right now is the hand sanitiser. More and more people are beginning to recognize the importance of keeping their hands clean, but the truth is that not all hand sanitisers are made equal.

Designed and formulated in the UK, and made in Korea, AceMD delivers the importance of safe, high-quality personal care, committed to offering the goodness of life by being your daily hygiene expert. Produced by Acelabs Limited, whose brand portfolio also includes Acelabs Skincare, AceMD focuses on personal hygiene, such as anti-bacterial hand sanitizers and wet wipes.

AceMD Mythbusters: What’s True and What’s Not?

MYTH #1: The higher the alcohol concentration (90% and above), the better its disinfectant properties.

TRUTH: Higher concentrations of alcohol don’t necessarily produce desirable results for protection against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In order to be effective, there has to be a significant enough presence of water in the mixture! The best ratio is 30% water + 70% alcohol. That’s why AceMD formulas contain 60-70% alcohol for the best level of protection you can enjoy anytime, anywhere.

MYTH #2: I don’t need a hand sanitiser at home because I have access to running water and soap.

TRUTH: Handwashing kills germs and physically removes dirt from your hands, but how many times can you actually wash your hands in the space of one day? Even if you are at home, you might not have direct access to soap and water at times of urgent need. Keep a bottle of hand sanitiser near doorways leading outside, so that the first thing you do when you get home, even before you open your door, is: sanitise your hands!

MYTH #3: Alcohol-free hand sanitisers work just as effectively, and are less damaging to the skin.

TRUTH: Alcohol-free products may not work on many types of germs, and instead of killing them, only reduce their growth. So in the end, the effectiveness is still questionable. If dryness is your main concern, look for alcohol-based hand sanitisers that contain moisturising ingredients.
