L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

One word: WOW. I discovered this product last year, and now I can't live without it. It smells so nice and simple, and moisturizes your hands like nothing you have ever experienced! I would highly recommend this to anyone with dry hands.

This hand cream is very moisturizing, it does leave a slight bit of residue behind but considering how nice it makes my hands feel it's quite worth it. The downsides are the packaging and the price, this is too expensive for a hand cream. Though this hand cream is very good I see hand creams as something you have to reapply often and there are plenty of creams that are as moisturizing as this at a much lower price point.

The packaging could also use some work, when it starts running low and you get some kinks in the metal cream can start to leak out these cracks which can make a huge mess. Also the tiny cap isn't great for on the go use as I find it fiddly sometimes when I have to hold it, squeeze some cream out, then put the cap back on.

I would say give this a try, it is a very good product and a nice splurge item to pamper yourself with but for me I can't see myself repurchasing it just because the price is too much for me.

I bought this hand cream for 30$. It has a rich and thick texture, and contains 20% shea butter. The absorption is not optimal (it leaves a oily residue) but it hydrates and protects the hands all day, even after washing them. It is a truly great product, but the scent is displeasing (it smells like baby powder). I would definitely recommend it, but next time, I will try other fragrances of the same brand.

I love this cream. I would highly recommend this cream. My hands feel great after each use.

Absorbs very quickly and does not leave your hands feeling greasy. Only down side would be that the scented versions are a little strong so I would recommend the non-scented version if you are not too big on scented hand lotions.

This is not the best hand cream I've ever tried, but it is by far not the worst. It leaves your hands feeling smooth and soft for a really long time. The scent is not my favorite.

best hand cream ever - year round. not greasy and absorbs well. it's on the pricier side, but it's worth it

This is my very favorite hand cream ever--I have not been without a tube for the past five years. It is very rich and seems to almost instantly repair the skin on my hands, giving them a smooth, soft look. I'm pretty hard on my hands--washing many times each day, riding my bike in wind and sun without gloves, living in the desert--and this is the best cream I've had for preventing dry, scaly hands. It doesn't sink in right away and is somewhat greasy, but I sort of like that, especially since it does work and doesn't just sit on top of the skin. I personally love the powdery scent, though I don't find that it lingers for more than 30 minutes or so. The packaging isn't my favorite, as the label always seems to come off, leaving a metal tube covered with sticky residue, but it's something I can deal with. Overall, one of my favorite indulgences!
