It may be the original, but in this test, it's not the best. A lack of grains meant the Swarfega struggled to shift the grime at first, and took a further two sessions in the sink to get hands spotless. It does come in a handy pump-action container, but it's expensive, especially when you consider you need three times as much as Clarke's cleaner to do the same job. This does contain moisturisers and is solvent free, though.
