Most generally available hand sanitizers are good. Small amounts applied to the hands and rubbed in well can help combat germ transfer. However care must be take to monitor skin conditions as some are allergic to the content and will require brands for sensitive skin. Always read and follow on product advice

Yes. The regular Germ-X hand sanitizers use alcohol (63%) as the active ingredient.

There is a new formulation of Germ-X hand sanitizer that is alcohol-free. The CDC has said these types of alcohol-free hand sanitizers can be effective and, if regular soap and warm water are not available, they are a useful substitute until you can get to a place to wash your hands properly.
