I got this hand cream as a gift a few years ago and it is the only one to have ever blown me away. It is also the only hand cream to moisturize so incredibly well while leaving absolutely no residue. I get pretty bad eczema patches on my wrists and knuckles during winter and this is the only cream that makes it completely go away within a few days use. I have no desire to ever look for a different cream for my hands.

The best hand cream I have ever used. It has cleared up the eczema from my hands and I was not expecting this effect at all. It also moisturizes very well, although I use less of the product compared to other hand creams. Definitively recommended for sensitive skin!

Absorbs quickly but gives my hands a dry and tight feeling.
Not the worst hand cream I've ever tried...but definitely not the best.

A very nice hand cream, and I can understand why a lot of flight attendants use it to combat the effects of the air in the cabin. Non greasy, sinks in well and mositurises well. Probably the best hand cream I have used. The price - at £12.95 - is higher than a lot of other hand creams - especially mainstream ones - but, bearing in mind this is a natural product and it does last ages, it is a small price to pay!

I love this product, although it is a little on the expensive side. It sinks in incredibly fast but leaves my hands feeling lovely and soft (and this last winter's given my hands quite a battering - left them very dry indeed). A little goes quite a long way, as with most Dr Hauschka products. The scent is lovely and light, and really very pleasant.
The packaging is okay, but the metal tube might take some getting used to. I use a tube key and wind it down, so I make the most of the tube's contents!

This is a great cream but I think it's very overpriced. Every year the price goes up $1.50 and it seems a bit ridiculous. I've used the cream since around 2001 when you could buy it at Whole Foods for about $15.00. It now retails in the same store for about $30.00. The packaging is terrible and often cracks open. It's ruined the inside of many of my handbags.
That said, the scent is divine and I love the way it feels on my hands. It does not, however, last after washing the hands.

I received a sample of this and I really like it. Lovely, but short lived, scent of geranium and citrus that I found invigorating and fresh. The first feeling was a little greasy but it's absorbed very fast by the skin to a velvety soft feel. It seems to do action on a deeper level instead of just coating the hands with mineral oil like so many hand creams. After a few days of use my hands are noticeably softer even with no product on. I would have rated 5 if it wasn't so expensive.
Pros: Softens hands not only superficially
Nice smell
No mineral oil
No parabens
Cons: The price

I love all the scents in DH products, this is one of them. The rose scent is very uplifting and soothing, this cream is heavenly, quite nourishing, but re-application is needed for dry skin type or in extremely dry weather. Expensive but worth the price, I would repurchase this again just for the scent alone!

I think this is one of the best handcreams I have ever tried. Gives a lot of moisture, but feels completely non-greasy and is absorbed fast.

Pros: Sinks in quickly, though it amply moisturises. Only the very very slightest layer remains, just right. Smells fabulous, but mild. Lovely silky texture, a joy to use. Pretty, unusual yellow colour. Looks stylish.
Cons: Ok, this is the most expensive handcream in the world, it must be! Fully DOUBLE the price of the heavenly (and quite a bit better) Clarins Hand and Nail treatment. The metal tube is annoying towards the end, or if someone were to squeeze the front.
So, if you love the scent and feel, buy it as an expensive treat. If you need seriously good, somewhat more affordable hand care, choose Clarins every time.

I love this, my absolute favourite hand cream. It feels very light and absorbs quickly (nothing worse than a greasy,sticky hand cream), and leaves my skin super soft. A bit expensive, but worth the price.

Great hand cream! It's a yellowy lightweight cream that sinks easily and it's highly moisturising. It's expensive compared to run-of-the-mill hand creams but it's worthy. It makes hands smooth and not greasy at all. You can put it in winter just before stepping out and immediately wear gloves. It has a nice intense smell, slightly lemony and herbal.

It's a very light - sometimes too light - hand cream, but then again it sinks very quickly and I don't feel the urge to wash my hands again at once, something which unfortunately tends to happen when I use heavier stuff. Oh, and it smells really good.

My HG Hand Cream. Smells divine - really fresh and natural, sinks straight in and is not sticky or greasy. Is a great hand cream for during the day and wouldnt be without it.
I am lucky - dont suffer from particularly dry hands so this works perfectly for me. For very dry hands might not be rich enough although my mum loves it during the day too but uses a richer one at night. Love that it comes in small handbag sizes as well as the larger one. Really reasonably priced too.

Overall, I like this hand cream. I love the scent of Dr. Hauschka products and this has the typical fresh, citrusy scent. It absorbs well and is not greasy. It seems to help my dry hands, but truth be told, I don't think anything is going to make a huge difference right now due to the cold weather and frequent hand washing. It is a bit expensive for a 1.7 oz tube ($20), but I will probably buy it again.

This handcream is nice, but didn't blow me away. It required frequent re-applications, since I had extremely dry hands. But it smells lovely, and absorbs quickly.
I guess it's more for general maintenance, rather than effective treatment in extreme cases ;)

Being a Dr. H devotee, I thought I would love the hand cream. I didn't actually hate it ... but I was somewhat disappointed. I didn't think it compared to L'occitanes. I have horrible hands. They are very aged looking with chapped knuckles to boot. So, I am always on the look out for the perfect hand cream. Dr. H's isn't it.

I like this for use in the day as it sinks in without leaving a greasy residue. Leaves hands velvety and smooth and smells nice too without being over powering. I like the packaging its cute and small enough to put in your bag/purse.
Prefer Keihls Hand Balm for healing hands in deepest winter and for night time use but I find it too greay for use in the day.
