  • It’s the holy grail: Purell hand sanitizer on Amazon is actually back in stock and ready to ship out right away.
  • That’s the good news, but there’s also some bad news to go along with it: Prices are still inflated because there is so much demand.
  • There are also other trusted brands in stock if you want hand sanitizer with the same formulation with better pricing, including both Medex hand sanitizer and Wish hand sanitizer.
  • You’ll also from that the strongest sanitizer on Amazon is back in stock: Forward Science 80% Alcohol Hand Sanitizer Spray.
  • Amazon’s best-selling face masks are still the most popular coronavirus purchase among our readers, but hand sanitizer is a close second.

The CDC’s coronavirus page is extremely clear, so there’s no mistaking the measures that everyone needs to be taking right now in order to protect themselves from COVID-19. First and foremost, you need to wear a face mask anytime you leave your house for any reason at all, whether it’s to go to the grocery store or just to take a walk around town. Common 3-ply masks like Amazon’s best-selling Jointown face masks are more than enough to do the job — you don’t need a medical-grade N95 respirator since you’ll also be practicing social distancing and staying at least 10 feet away from people whether you’re inside or outdoors. You can pick up some popular MagiCare KN95 masks to use in higher-risk areas like public transportation or in small stores, but those 60¢ 3-layer masks are more than good enough for most situations.

In addition to face masks, however, there’s something else you need that’s just as important: hand sanitizer. Individual bottles of Purell hand sanitizer are actually in stock right now at Amazon, which is quite rare these days. Even more surprisingly, you can actually buy Purell sanitizing wipes right now on Amazon, though prices are quite inflated so these are only for people with a very urgent need.

Where hand sanitizer is concerned, there are now several other options in stock at Amazon as well that offer a much better value. In fact, several of them are even stronger than Purell with higher alcohol content! The strongest hand sanitizer you can get right now on Amazon is Forward Science 80% Alcohol Hand Sanitizer Spray, which is available right now for just $49.99 per 6-pack of spray bottles.

If you’re looking for a more recognizable brand than Forward Science, you’ll find two great options in stock today. First, you can get a fishbowl full of 36 2-ounce bottles of Wish hand sanitizer for$68.49. The novel coronavirus isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so you might as well stock up now — and $1.90 per bottle is a great price compared to more than $4 for the same size Purell bottle.

In addition, 4-ounce bottles of Medex hand sanitizer are in stock and 12-packs are $39.99 right now. This hand sanitizer has the same formulation as Purell, with a 70% ethyl alcohol mix. It’s also from a trusted brand that’s sold in stores like Costco, 7-Eleven, CVS, and Whole Foods, so you know you don’t have to worry about whether or not it’s safe and effective.

Finally, 8-ounce bottles of Natural Concepts Hand Sanitizer Gel are available to purchase in 6-packs for $25.99. This sanitizer is 65% ethyl alcohol, which is once again stronger than the recommended formulation for killing bacteria and viruses, including coronaviruses. This brand is a best-seller that has been out of stock for quite a while now, but they’re on their way back according to the Amazon page so definitely order now while you can.
