Answer


What does The Hand Cream do?

The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin. A healthy skin barrier is resilient and can prevent early signs as it helps shield the skin from damages. The Hand Cream is designed as a barrier cream. It contains 5 Ceramides, 5 Peptides, Niacinamide, Marula Oil and Marula Butter rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids to replenish the outer lipid layer. This combination of ingredients helps reverse dryness, treat loss of volume and recover brittle cuticles. It brings the skin barrier into balance.

Answer


What are the benefits of Retinol?

Retinol is a multi-functional ingredient. Pending concentration and supporting ingredients retinol can deliver different benefits. The Hand Retinol is formulated specifically for the needs of skin on the hands. The skin on the hands is different.

The Hand Retinol is an all-in-one repair serum formulated with a tested combination of 0.25% Pure Retinol, 5% AHA and Peptides to treat and prevent crepiness, wrinkles, spots and brittle cuticles. Ideal for night use.

    Amazing hand duo!!

    The hand duo is amazing!!! I am 56 years old and get repeated compliments on my hands. Using them both in the morning and at night has made a world of difference. Being a registered nurse, I wash my hands a hundred times a day and need all the support and moisture available. Would recommend this duo every day all day. Have repurchased multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.

    Great for eczema prone hands

    No fragrance, absorbs well, overall very good product. Appreciate that plastic is minimized to cap. Would purchase in large glass jars if it were offered.
