I get dry skin issues in the winter months but doing dishes particularly in this season takes its toll on my hands so a hand cream is a must-have for me to battle dry flaky skin. Now that summer is here, my hands don’t feel dry so I prefer lotions or light moisturizers just to keep them hydrated. This product promises to shield severely dry hands by providing a glove like defense so if you’re someone who has chapped hands all year round or who has to wash hands frequently all day, this product might just be life saver! Since I got to try in summer, I can’t judge how well it would perform in harsh winter but it does seem to retain moisture even after I wash my hands which tells that it really works.
The cream doesn’t have a thick consistency but isn’t fluid-y like a lotion either; it’s somewhat in between. When applied, you can instantly detect a refreshing citrusy scent that lingers for a while. Since it’s an intensive moisture treatment, it takes a couple of minutes to sink into the skin but it doesn’t absorb completely. I can see that it forms some sort of an invisible layer that gives a nice glow to my hands. I do think it can leave your hands feeling greasy and slippery if you apply too much of it so use just a pea-sized amount. As previously mentioned, it seems to hold up well to hand washing so it doesn’t need to be reapplied very often which is a good point. It keeps my hands soft, smooth and moisturized for a long time. I’m also pleased with the packaging; I like how neat and vibrant it looks. It comes in a flip-cap tube which makes it convenient to control the amount dispensed plus it’s hygienic as well.
All in all, this product seems to be a treat for dry winter-weary hands. Owing to the intense moisture it provides, I can safely say that it will comfort your scaly hands in no time. I’d definitely continue using it in winter.
