My primary reason for buying this was for the sunscreen (although only SPF 10) and to try something from this line. This is now my favorite hand lotion and the only one I want to use for the daytime. I've grown to really like the nutty scent. Reminds me of macademia nuts or something. It is extremely moisturizing although a bit oily but I still love it. Nothing else makes my hands so soft in the day. Also, as I discovered, you really need a very, very little amount to do your hands and wrists... Takes a minute or two to absorb, but the benefits are worth it. I also love the portable size and will often throw it in my bag so I can reuse after hand-washing throughout the day. Will definitely repurchase! (I imagine the cost and size would make this a nice little stocking stuffer during the holidays too :)

I like this cream but I don't love it. It is moisturizing but so are a dozen other hand creams I can think of. My main problem is that I have to mail order it where I live and it's not unique or special enough to warrant that. If you can purchase it easily, buy it - otherwise, try something else that works just as well (if not better) and that is much more convenient to get.

I have a few sample size bottles of this hand cream that I tuck into my purse, my desk at work, and my desk at home. I don't really have a favorite hand cream, because I'm someone who forgets to moisturize my hands regularly. Keeping the little bottle handy is the only way I can remember. I like the mild scent, though it isn't fruity smelling - more like a generic lotion smell. I do like the thickness and SPF benefit, and find it doesn't leave my hands greasy. I'm only rating it a 3 because I find that MB specializes in facial products. I wouldn't have tried this had it not been for the fact that I use their skincare line exclusively now for my face. Would I buy it when I run out? Probably, but I have a bit to last me awhile. Definitely worth trying if you are looking for a hand cream that is gentle, smells light enough that it won't conflict with your perfume, and has SPF protection.

I love this stuff - but its almost better as a body cream. Don't use it so much for moisture but for exfoliating. I use on my hands and my arms after I swipe them with the MB cucumber toner. The toner really makes this stuff sink into the skin. The skin on the back of my hands looks so much smoother after using this. I also started using this on my legs now and I can see that the skin is much smoother. They need to make this in a giant sized bottle as a body cream. Its better as a body cream than a hand cream. But buy it, the backs of our hands show age first, I swear this makes them look much better, you just need to give it at least a week or two to see the dif. Its just too expensive as a body cream (the small bottle is $10)

I got a big bottle as a sample, but I don't find anything very special about this. I MUCH prefer Mario Badescu's "Special Hand Cream," which makes my hands much softer than this. THis doesn't do anything.

I wanted to love this but the smell grossed me out completely. It smelled to me like old stale fruity candy and I couldn't even use it because the smell bothered me so much.

I received a sample of this over christmas, but hasn't really used too much of it until recently. I forgot my sunscreen and have been using this for a light sun protection/coverage. UNfortunately, although the small is light and fragrant, the actual product is too heavy. I suppose they do call it a hand cream, but even just applying it to my hands I feel it is too greasy. Just rubbing my arms now, they feel a bit slick, soft, but slick. Just don't find the small SPF worth the heaviness of this cream.

Price $10.00
4 oz.


I was hoping that it really would have a fruity smell. The fragrance is very faint which for some might be a plus! This is a really nice hand lotion that also protects you from the sun. You only need a little bit, so this will last a long time. I think this will replace my Kiehl's as my new staple!

This product didn't really moisturize my hands too well, and the smell wasn't too pleasant either. I think Mario makes great facial products, but the hand and body products just aren't as good.

Creamsicle color. I just love the way this cream makes my dry hands feel so smooth. Contains an SPF of 10 that helps keep age spots away. I rub a pea size amount into my hands. Within a few minutes it sinks in so that hands do not feel greasy, just nice and soft. I hate greasy hand cream! This has really helped the backs of my hands to look more supple and younger. Ingredients contain AHA, Vit. A& D, collagen, Parsol, salicylic acid, citric acid and peanut oil. A little goes a long way so it is a great value. continued >>

Other lotions seem to hold up better thoughout the day.

I love this hand cream. I was looking for one with SPF (this has SPF 10) and also has AHA's and collagen.Very emollient and soothing in the winter. The label says "fragrant and fruity" but the scent is very mild. Overall, great product - I'll buy it again.
