    Not worth it

    Trying this product - it didn't really do the job I thought it would do. I expected my hands to be more moisturized but they weren't. just not for me.

    Too strong of a scent

    After trying this hand cream for a few weeks I am not sure this is the right one for me. I like the feel and thickness of the cream and it absorbs nicely and doesn’t feel greasy but the scent is way too strong for me. It has quite the powerful baby powder smell. I don’t like having that lingering smell on my hands. As far as moisture goes - it must be working because my dry hands soak it right up!!

    Strong scent, not moisturizing enough

    I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
    First, the pros: it's thick yet absorbs quickly. Leaves skin with a subtle sheen and isn't greasy. The cons: I didn't like the strong scent. For the amount of product I need to use to moisturize my hands, it still doesn't leave them as soft and supple as other had creams I've tried. Lastly, once the tube is half-empty, the thick metal tubing makes it difficult to squeeze out any remaining product. Overall, this hand cream wouldn't be one of my top picks, but I appreciate the opportunity to try it.

    I was really excited to try this hand cream. I assumed it would work really well just based on my knowledge of the brand. It smells nice and does work reasonably well. However, the massive downfall that will keep me from repurchasing is how greasy it is. I prefer my hand creams to absorb fully and not leave a residue... so this falls short.

    I have very dry hands and need a rich moisturizer. I have to apply this cream twice for my hands to be moisturized. It would probably be food for other people who do not have very dry skin.

    It does not meet my needs for a hand moisturizer. I expected more considering the price of the product.

    I received this as a gift. It smells nice. A little dab goes along way. It's a little too pricey for me.

    This is a good product if you suffer from dry or aging skin. It helps keep your skin soft, though sometimes make my hands feel a bit greasy after. Pricy too. $12 or more for a little tube.

    I love this product, the cream is thick and it moisturizes extremely well.

    I received this lotion as part of a free promotion that they ran on their facebook page. I was really disappointed at the quality considering the price point. This cream is very expensive when compared to my usual brand. I found the cream to be VERY thick and greasy. Although it did moisturize very well it's just not convenient to have in your purse because it takes a very long time to absorb into my hands. I would not recommend this product for that reason alone.
