I've been using this cream for several months already and it has become one of my top-three hand creams. I find that so many creams promise the heavens on the package promo but never deliver. This is not the case here.
I have dry hands. They become drier when I paint as I use acrylics and my fingers, so they become extra-dry. A tiny dollop of this cream makes wonders for me. I've noticed that if I put too much, I get itchy hands, and that's because a small amount is just enough.
The cream has a buttery consistency and the smell is gender neutral I'd say. It absorbs well, but it takes a couple of minutes for the buttery coat to be fully absorbed.
First time I bought it, I noticed results in a couple of days, like my hands were way less drier.
The tube is quite small and a bit pricey, but totally worth it.
This
is a wonderful lychee-flower scented hand cream with a long-lasting
scent that can be used as everyday perfume. It has a semi-liquid
texture, so it absorbs well and quickly. It's very moisturising. and it
doesn't leave a greasy residue; after using it, my skin feels velvety.
The packaging is lovely and luxurious, as well.
The main problem
with the cream, to me, is that the scent is overwhelming; it masks my
perfume, and it gets to my nose and throat lingering there for too long.
The cream is moisturising but not enough to fix my very dry hands
issues; said differently, moisturising level is medium. Besides, the
back of the tube has the description and ingredients list in a very
small gold lettering, so there is barely any contrast against the pink
background and it cannot be read without a magnifying glass. I won't buy
it again.
This
is a good cream overall. It spreads evenly, it's absorbed quickly and
leaves my hands moisturized without any residue or greasy feeling. The
mouth dispenser is well designed to prevent wasting product, something
that it's really important as this cream is not such, but more a body
milk. I have sensitive skin and I haven't noticed any reaction to this
cream, which is great. The tube has a considerable size and it's good
value for money.
On the downside, although I like this cream, I
don't find it especially healing or really not better on my hands than
other creams or oils. I have mixed feelings about the scent, too. On the
one hand, it's subtle, but on the other, it's also odd. I would say
that it has a wax/honey-ish sort of scent, but the scent is quite
peculiar and it's one of those that polarize people. In my case, I find
it odd but not unpleasant and it doesn't clash with my perfume, yet I
don't find it appealing either.
Overall a good cream, but not
intensive or really healing and it is not especially natural. No
indication on whether the cream is cruelty free or not, or tested on
animals or not.
I have mixed feelings about this product. I love that is an Australian brand, the minimalist elegant packaging, the lightness of the product, how fast it absorbs, and the true herbal smell. However, despite this cream being lovely, it is more a milk than a cream, quite liquid-ish, the scent is pervasive so it can clash with my perfume, and it it is OK n my dry hands. The bottle runs out of product quite quickly due to the fact that I need to use more quantity of this product than with other hand creams.
I have very dry hands due to the frequent use of sanitizer and because I do my dishes by hand most times. I've used most hand cream brands out of there. I bought this as my usual cream wasn't available. The tub design looks like designed for traddies but I thought that, if this can help a man's hands why not mine?". I've used this cream for a couple of weeks and it's fantastic. It absorbs quickly leaving no greasy feeling, and it has really made a difference to my hands. I don't like the smell. It is not bad, just odd, not a nice fragrance, so that's why it's not 5 stars.
