    Great Hand Cream

    Absorbs fast, scentless, keeps hands hydrated. Worth repurchasing

    I haven't noticed any change

    I haven't noticed any change in the appearance of my hands' dark spots or crepiness just yet. However, this cream is thick and moisturizing yet absorbs well and doesn't leave my hands sticky or greasy. I use it at night, and they still feel moisturized in the morning. Hoping over time it will also work on the dark spots!

    SO excited by this hand cream

    As someone with a fragrance allergy I struggle to find products that truly feel luxurious. Well, this fragrance hand cream totally hit the mark. A little goes a long way and it made my hands feel so silky, buttery smooth after just one use (and grease-free!). This is my new holy grail.

    I really love this!

    I have struggled with dry cracked skin around my cuticles and on my thumbs. I've tried so many creams and am constantly applying creams after every hand wash and in between. I took this cream with me on a trip and used it exclusively, by the 4th day I noticed marked improvement and by the end of the week my hands were no longer rough or cracked at all. My cuticles look wonderful. It's pricy but it works, will definitely repurchase.

    Love the product. I do wish there was a scented version—maybe in eucalyptus?
