There's no evidence OTC antibacterial soaps prevent disease more than washing with plain soap and water. Some antibacterial drugs can do more harm than good.
I was trying to buy some at target about a month ago and there were only like 2 options that even claimed to be soap. The rest were “hand wash” and all of it was weird generic brands I’d never heard of. I haven’t used it yet but I do not feel confident with that purchase at all.
I’ve seen less and less anti-bacterial soap available at retail anyway.

I never stopped to ask what is in " antibacterial" soap that makes it such? Do they straight-up put an antibiotic in it like fucking Neosporin?
Then you’ve got “hand sanitizer” which is usually just denatured ethanol and some gelling agent.
Not sure. I would have been happy with just a product from a brand I recognized that actually claimed to be soap without weird marketing weasel words.
