The best hand cream I have ever used. I have even got my mum addicted to it. I buy one for myself and one for her every time. It it thick enough that you only need a small amount, and creamy enough to spread easily. It is absorbed really quickly and has a quirky scent that I actually like (I have many people comment on something "smelling nice" whenever I freshly apply the product). It really leaves the hands moisturised and supple for hours on end. Great value because you only use a small amount.

HG!
I first purchased this product when I worked outside as a tour guide in the winter. It kept my hands soft and smooth and kept the skin around my nails from cracking or drying out. I also think it strengthened my nails, which can get brittle, probably due to smoking and a less-than-stellar diet. When I use this product regularly, my nails don't chip and look strong and healthy.
I ran out of the stuff a while ago and have been using other intensive moisturisers instead, but nothing's come close to this, which I just repurchased and applied for the first time in a while last night. I thought my hands were beyond saving after some serious mistreatment this winter, but when I woke up they were transformed! :)
Smells great, too.
Usually I just dip a fingertip or two into the cream and that's enough to moisturise my hands and nails for the day. I've gotten numerous compliments from men and women alike about how soft my hands are. This is my secret. :)

This stuff is great if you have really dry skin/dry patches of skin, but it has to be REALLY dry. The product is thick and oily, so it's not good as an every day moisturizer...unless you live here in Canada and have to deal with drying winter air + washing your hands often.
I actually get really dry patches on my face now and then, and I use this stuff on those spots before I go to bed, too. And in the summer, the heels of my feet get really dry, so I apply this stuff out of the shower (after using a foot file or a pumice stone, of course) and it keeps my feet soft and pretty.
The packaging is not ideal. I don't like anything I have to dig my fingers into, but honestly, it's too thick and oily to put in a squeeze bottle so what can you do. In the end, I'd be a scaly beast without this stuff so I'll take it how it comes.

For an "intensive" hand cream it's not that intensively moisturizing. I've used other products that were not "intensive" or even for extra dry skin, and they did the job better than this one. However, if your hands are super dry it's a great hand cream. I love the smell and texture, it seeps right into your skin so no greasy feeling at all! I would buy it again, like I said, just not for winter months!

I bought this in the winter when my hands were really dry. It's rich and easy to spread on my hands. I like to use it before bed, and wake up to soft hands!

My favorite hand cream ever ! For a start I like the fact it's in a pot, because squeezy tubes tend to open in my purse but not with this stuff ! It smells great, and really does miracles on my hands, especially during winter when they tend to be very dry from the cold. I feel my hand are "protected" and moisturized at the same time. Liked it so much I actually bought some to my friends too :)

AMAZING. This stuff is like heaven for my hands. In just a week there was already very noticable improvement in my hands. They used to be very dry, and my nail beds were pretty bad. But with this stuff my hands are once again hydrated and smooth. It IS a little greasy when you apply it, but that's to be expected because it is an intensive cream. That being said, it does absorb into the skin pretty nicely if you give it time. I'm also in love with the sweet almond smell. Yummy! Definitely repurchasing!

its very rich - too oily for day wear. Smells great, I need to use very little - so it lasts a long time. Makes a difference to my hands but it still needs to be used continuously every night to see the difference the next morning. its not once off.
I thing I would buy again sometime after trying something else.

Unimpressed. Hands are still dry though I think it did improve a little therefore three lippies. There was this one period of time my hands were really soft, but then it never happen again? So it was weird, maybe it was a combination of something plus this that made it happen. Probably will not buy it again.

love this stuff! i originally only bought this because the body shop had sold out of their daily almond hand cream (which i had tested at the shop and loved).
however this stuff is probably my favourite hand cream ever, and ive tried lots of different hand creams over the years. its a slightly whipped texture and it smells like cream and sweet almonds which i love. its sweet but clean at the same time.
as for my hands, they stayed smooth and supple all during the winter. although winter here is usually humid, the cold is a killer for the hands but this product definitely helped a whole lot. it also lasts a long time (i had mine for around 7 months) so its worth the money. a definite recommend for anyone!

What can i say, i love this! It helps me so much! I use it at night before i go to bed (so i don't really feel the greasy-ness!) It really helps moisturize really really well! There was a period i didn't use it & my hand got really dry! But after i started using it religiously for like a week or so, it totally made my hand really soft & smooth, it also really helps hard skin! I've got a bit of hard skin on 1 of my finger! I really love the smell too (almond smell), but not everyone will enjoy the smell.
This is probably my 5th, 6th tub? I don't know i cant remember! What i know is that after i got this the first time i never looked back. This is definitely one of my all time HG. continued >>

I bought this product to use at night as an intensive treatment for my extremely dry hands. You could really only use this when going to bed because it takes about ten minutes to completely soak in and is very greasy until then. However, in the morning my hands would be just as dry as they were before applying the moisturizer. I thought maybe it was the kind of thing where continued use would improve the product's performance, but after using up the whole jar I am still unimpressed. You can get much better performance out of a drugstore brand moisturizer for a quarter of the price of this stuff. And don't get sucked in by the scent either. At first this cream smells amazing but that delicious almond scent gradually fades and is replaced with a very artificial plastic smell. Not recommended.

I bought this during TBS promotion S$9.90 (RRP S$20.90), I bought 2 at one go since I love Almond hand Lotion very much. This is definately more worth it then the Lotion version, a little goes a long way for this products. My hands are so soft and smooth; like baby hand. I love love love the smell alot. But my hubby hates it cos it smelled too sweet for him. Who cares as long as I have baby soft hands. I am still in my 1st tub (Bought Jul-09), still 1/4 tub left; can last another 2 weeks I tends to be greedy apply alot, if not 1 tube can last for 6-7 months. Only regret is should have bought more during $9.90 promotion:):).

I was given this as a gift and it is ok, I really like the smell and the idea of almond oil. I don't know that it is all that moisturising though, my hands feel nice but my cuticles get dry again quite quickly. It is a bit greasy so you have to have a minute for it to soak in.
I wouldn't buy it as the ingredient list is too long for what it does - more preferable is Lanolips 101 ointment (just lanolin, which is an ingredient in this) or Natio's Wellness Hand Cream with spf15 and pomegranate (Vitamin C) which is a multi-tasker and just divine.

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet - I'm on at least my third tub. This stuff is HG. My friend put me onto it and I have put a number of people onto it too - just can't get enough of the delicious baby cocoa smell. It soaks right in really fast, and it really cures the horrible cracked skin I get on my fingers. I work in a lab and wash my hands many many times a day so I really do get very dry hands. I keep a mini tupperware container in my handbag filled with this stuff so I am never without it. ♥ continued >>

This is hands down my favorite hand cream ever. I am always on the search for the best moisturizers because during the winter months I suffer from painful dry skin, especially on my hands. This product is the last thing I apply at night and the first thing I apply in the morning. The scent is amazing! Not for use during the day, cause it is quite heavy and can take a while to completely absorb. The price is quite high for something I use so often, but until I find something that works as well I will continue to purchase.

I use this in the winter nights before I go to bed. Layering it on my dry hands when I have nothing else to do but sleep is perfect. However, I made the mistake of using it during the day time and my hands were a greasy mess. I love the scent and the hydration power, but this product cannot function in the day time. However, as a night moisturizer for my hands it is perfect.

its a good basic moisturizer for hands. powerfull enough to make your hand smooth and supple in the morning. the smell is quite strong but sweet, which I don't really mind.
But sometimes its just feels too sticky and heavy, but again its a treatment so thats probably why its sooo sticky. Don't really like the packaging because its in a pot instead of a tube. Its kinda annoying when you get some stuck inside your nail. The price is good for the amount you get. So far, I'm pretty happy. I'm on my 4th or 5th pot

IMO, the smell of this hand treatment is very bad. But, it really does work. I use it as a overnight treatment if my hands are very dry, and try to not get sick because of the smell.

I love, love, love this cream!
My hands are always dry and I'm always looking for a perfect hand cream. I tried so many and none comes close to this one!
The texture is rich but absorbs quickly, especially if used right after washing your hands with warm water. It moisturizes and softens hands instantly and the effect lasts for hours. It also helps with the ruff skin around my nails. Once my face felt extreamly dry and I put this cream and it felt wonderfull! (but i'm not doing it again, too scared to put hand cream on face:)
It is a little exspensive but it lasts a long time. It doesn't have any spf and packiging is not the best, but I don't care. The cream itself is amazing!
EDIT: I tried Sally Hansen anti aging hand cream with retinol, thinking it will be better and make my hands smoother. It didn't. It dried them out. Back to my Almond oil cream, my hands are smooth and hydrated again.
