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. Like the skin on the face and neck - it is thinner, more fragile and prone to premature aging. 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.

    My hands look “younger” than they did a month ago.

    I’m 36 and am using this cream to address the effects of excess sun exposure on my hands from surfing. The wetsuit covers nearly everything, and I can put sunscreen on my face, but sunscreen will not stay on my hands when I surf (wipes right off). I’m used to my hands being significantly darker and just looking older than I am (comparatively). I wanted to start addressing this “early” before it’s too late, knowing that I’m at the age where skin health starts to decline with decreasing hormones. I am SO impressed so far. Only half of ONE tube, with nightly applications, and my homemade shea butter cream on top, and my hands look WAY better. The skin looks plumper/thicker than before. The tone is even. It’s crazy because I’m used to my hands being darker than the rest of my body, and now they are LIGHTER despite the fact that I am still surfing in the sun!! That says a lot about how this stuff works!! And while my hands weren’t super wrinkled (yet), the wrinkles that I did have are very smoothed out! I swear they look at least 5 years younger so far. I’m mostly impressed by the skin tone evening, the removal of the weird hand tan, and the skin plumping that I’m seeing. I will probably start using this on my feet in the summer (also subject to the excessive sun exposure during surfing and weird wetsuit tanlines).

    Hey, skin health and beauty shouldn’t stop at the face….neck…chest…hands…feet too!!!

    Best hand cream!

    My hands have been aging and typically stay dry looking. Most hand lotions just sit on top of the skin and don't last; however, this hand cream/multi-butter is easily absorbed and has lasting results. My hands stay moisturized longer and are looking younger! I love that this is fragrance free!
