If your hands aren't dry, cracked and you're not wincing everytime you use alcohol gel, you're not washing your hands enough.
Make sure you wet hands first, then use soap.
I reserve alcohol gel for when I can't access water and soap.
I'd agree with that, my hands are dry and cracked from soap/hand washing.
