little white truths

Verdict

Look, there's nothing hugely wrong with this hand cream, it's just that I'm not excited by it at all. This may be in part because I've been through so many of them, but I think it's more than that because I've used quite a few hand creams from brands like MOR and I never get sick of those.

I think part of the issue for me with this hand cream is the scent: it's very faint and too vanilla-sweet for me. I prefer hand creams that smell better and really wake up your senses when you use them.

As for the formula, it's nourishing but I think it's a little greasy and it leaves behind a slick residue because it doesn't absorb as well and as quickly as other creams. It's unusual for me to say that a cream is too heavy for me because I love heavier creams (my skin tends towards dryness), but even as I write this I can feel my fingers slipping on the keyboard because they're greasy from applying this cream, and I put in on over ten minutes ago.

As for claims, yes it is super creamy and rich, but as mentioned I don't think it absorbs quickly and it does leave behind a greasy residue - at least on me. I think it does protect the hands, but I don't think it softens or nourishes them particularly well because the cream doesn't absorb as much as I would like it to.

I've had a look online and some people rave about this while others, like me, don't think it's that amazing and wonder why it's so popular. The product is fine but it's certainly not the best hand cream I've tried and, while I'll use it, I wouldn't buy it.

Ok.
