This hand cream's scent doesn't really appeal to me much. I have used a lot of hand creams and this one was not that special. Just a normal hand cream.
Probably will not buy it since I got a sample. It's not that greasy which gives it one plus.

I don't really care for the smell of this, but I like how soft my hands are after I use it. I wouldn't say it keep my hands moisturized all day, but it does a good job for the time being. My mom got me hooked on this, I like to keep this in my purse whenever I need it. This is expensive for the amount you get though.

ok, this smells really nice. Like a very fresh and light lemon scent but the cream itself just isnt all that great.
It's not very thick, it's a little thin and it doesnt absorb that well either.
It was 20 dollars (canadian) so it's an expensive one.
I've had better from drugstore stuff.
I won't be buying again.

I keep a small tube of this at my desk at work for those days when I'm handling a lot of paper and my hands dry out. It's not an amazing product -- it does the job for short-term moisturizing, but long-term, it doesn't seem to heal, repair, or make a difference with dry skin. It basically helps me get through the day until I can get home and use the "real" products that work miracles on my skin. The one thing I love about this is the scent -- it smells like freshly grated lemon zest. I just adore the scent. I won't buy again when my tube is gone. I'll get a desk-size tube of something that actually helps heal and repair my skin in the long-term.

I got this as a gift a 2 years ago and just started using it. It's pretty good but not really a miracle. Good smell. I will have a to add to this review in the winter time to see if it really makes a difference. In the summer my hands are never dry but the winter is a whole different story...

My absolute HG hand cream. I've gone through so many different brands from expensive to cheap and nothing beats bliss!
I am very picky with my hand creams as I hate when they leave my skin greasy and nasty.. but also hate when they are too light and leave my hands dry and not moisturized.
Bliss is absolutely the best.. it blends and absorbs quickly and leaves my hands soft with zero greasy feel afterwards.
A definite staple in my purse year round.

Will repurchase because it does a great job of moisturizing my hands no matter how dry they get. Also works great on dry feet and heels. Sinks in quickly. Very nice. The only downside is that the smell is very strong and not all that pleasant (to me anyway).

There's nothing special about this hand cream. I felt like it did everything Vaseline would do, so why pay $24 + shipping + tax for it? It has a hint of lemon smell to it, which I like. For the first hour or so after applying the hand cream, your hands do feel softer than usual - but it isn't a long term effect. And as I said, Vaseline can do the same. Definitely would not repurchase this product.

I always buy this in the mini tube for $8...I keep a tube with me at all times, I like the smell and the lotion works well, also lasts quite a while! It's slightly greasy at first but dries quickly and leaves my hands very soft!

This product is average. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is very light and has a pleasant scent. However, there is nothing spectacular about this hand cream. Didn't brighten or soften my hands anymore than they were before I started using this product. I actually only picked it up because I remembered I was out of hand cream and noticed this by the checkout counter at Ulta. I've spent more on hand products at L'Occitane and Bath & Body Works, so I wouldn't say that the 1 oz $8 bottle of this product is incredibly expensive, but I certainly won't go out of my way to purchase this again. continued >>

I'm torn on this product. It doesn't feel greasy, it absorbs well, and I like the fresh, citrus smell. It's really expensive. It smells better than lubriderm and cetaphil, but is it better? No, it isn't. I can't justify paying that much lotion, but if somebody bought it for me, I wouldn't refuse to use it!

LOVE THIS LOTION!!!! Definitely my new 'Holy Grail' lotion. Very moisturising, non greasy and absorbs quickly. My skin feels 100% better after using it. I want to buy it in bulk in case they ever stop selling it. Great smell, too!

I bought this on a whim in the sample size. I find nothing special about it at all; it's not that moisturizing and has a kind of lemony scent (like Pledge furniture polish, maybe) that I dislike. I wish I had gotten the sample size of L'occitane hand cream for only 2 dollars more. I've used that hand cream and find its scent comforting and its texture rich, creamy and very moisturizing. At least I could explain why it was a pricier hand cream. If you want to splurge on expensive hand cream, I recommend trying something else.

So expensive! It works well and is a nice size to keep in my purse but I don't notice any extreme differences between any other lotion plus this is super super greasy. After only a month or so it separated in the tube so only clear liquid came out! It takes forever to rub into your hands. I really like the smell though. I'll try something new next time.

I like this hand cream because a little goes a long way. At first the smell was not that pleasing to me, but it grew on me. I got the 2.5 fl. oz, which I use while at work. I think to make it really work I massage it well into the skin.

To be perfectly honest, I have yet to figure out what distinguishes this product from Lemon and Sage body butter. They smell the same and feel the same, except that HIHC is way more expensive. I like the travel size tube I got at Sephora, but for $8, well, I don't like it that much. Ultimately it's just OK, moisturizes alright, kind of greasy, smells good but so do most Bliss products. Nothing to write home about here.

As a Bliss lover, I try everything Bliss at least once. This cream works very well for the "gloves at night" treatment. But not so great during the day. Regardless of what it touts, it is not grease-free. Very greasy. And when I put it on my hands and typed on my computer keyboard, I noticed that the lotion was eating the painted letters off my keys!

I think this is a nice product in the way of moisture and consistency. I like how it feels and it works well. I do not like the scent. I like other Bliss scents and the "naked" scent, but not this one. I think if I purchase from Bliss again, it will be a different fragrance. This one is bitter or something. Not a fan. Gave it 3 lippies b/c it works well, but smells bad. Expensive, too!!!!

This is probably the most over-rated product i know of. they should be forced to change the name of this extremely light and watery hand lotion because "high intensity" is pretty much the complete opposite of what this actually is. i have very dry hands (i wash my hands constantly throughout the day and am always working with and touching harsh chemicals) and i have to apply this about 3 times to even notice a difference. this cream is 100% total hype. everything i've tried from bliss has turned out to be crap and i'm pretty sure this will be the last bliss product i will ever use.

This product is ok (did an ok job moisturizing but I would not repurchase). I have very dry hands but I hate a greasy feeling and considering this product feels heavy, the moisturizing effect wasn't that strong or long-lasting, this cream felt a bit heavy and the heaviness didn't disappear. Ahava Mineral Hand Cream ($18 for 3.4 oz) is my absolute favorite for a day hand cream as it feels gorgeous, moisturizes non-stop and never feels greasy/sticky. At night I use a high % glycolic/acid cream like MD Formulations or Philosophy's Soul Owner (I'm 44 and want to rid/prevent sun/age spots!).

I have tried all these hand creams: Aveda, Clinique, Clarins (pretty good but Ahava is much more effective), Kiehls (all of them), Lancome, Mario Badescu (all of them are very good but Ahava is better), L'Occitane Shea Butter (feels heavy but my hands still are dry - odd), Origins, etc.

Regarding price point, this is at the high level (L'Occitane, E. Lauder, Lancome's is more expensive, etc.) so it's meant for people who ARE comfortable shopping at this price point. La Mer's hand cream is $70+ and I wasn't impressed with the results but it sure does have it's following. I have tried drug store brands (Neutrogena's Hand & Nail is quite good) but at my age (42), I personally prefer having more elegant packaging. If you haven't tried Ahava Mineral Hand Cream, I highly suggest you do.
