This is the best hand cream ever. It's not greasy, smells great and most importantly is very moisturizing. I'm hooked, can't live without this!!

This doesnt work for me no matter how much I want it to.. =(

Hands feel coated by the grease and yet dryer than ever underneath the coating..
Which is really weird because moisturizers never work that way on me before..

Lovely packaging and smell thou..

I have chronically dry hands and rough flaky patches because I'm a bass player. They're always dry but after washing, facewashing, showers, etc they are just plain terrible. This is a nice hand cream that does a pretty good job at moisturizing but does leave behind a greasy film. I like that it's 20% shea butter. Sadly to my wallet, I have a love affair with La Mer hand creme. It absorbs so fast and moisturizes even better. This is far better than any other hand creme in it's price range but unfortunately doesn't hold a candle to La Mer.

I do think that this is a nice hand cream, it's a thicker cream and that is what I like. It makes my hands soft but I just don't like the scent, I always wanted to try this one out but I can't purchase it anywhere near me. So when I finnaly got my hands on this I was dissapointed by the scent, I thought it would smell better then it does. It's not a bad scent it's just not for me.

This is my HG handcream and I've been using it since forever! Love the smell of shea butter, and it is absorbed into the skin quickly, leaving my hands soft and smooth. I also realised that it makes my nails healthy! My nails used to peel easily, and after daily usage of this made them stronger and imparts a natural sheen to my nails.

this saved the texture of my hands. im soon ending my second 5.2 oz bottle and have used 10+ 1.0 oz bottles already. non-greasy at all but very rich and moisturizing. a must-have for anyone with dry skin!

this is the best hand cream I've ever used!
my hands get super dry during winter and this truly is the ONE(:
it feels too rich at first but o so soft and not sticky/greasy at all when it's all absorbed. the only con I found with this product is...the price:( i find it a bit pricey.

I purchased a travel size of this hand cream as an impulse buy at Sephora while I was in the US. It was $10 US. Pretty pricey and was hesitant at first but then thought oh well what do i have to lose? I can always use it at night time before going to bed if its too greasy. Well I was pleasantly surprised! I don't find this greasy at all unless i slather on a lot. The amount I use is perfect for moisturization without the greasy feeling. i really like the smell too as its light and fresh. I use this throughout the day and am loving it alot. I will buy the full tube next when I am in the US as its difficult to find it here in Canada. Total repurchase. My ultimate HG hand cream for sure!

I love this - it's really moisturizing and long lasting. The trick is to not use too much, otherwise it'll be greasy. My hands are so soft :D

Great stuff! I brought a tube to work and now all the girls at work have it! It moisturizes without being greasy, and it smells great! Very expensive for hand cream but does a great job. Also not as perfumed as other hand creams that i've used in the past. Will definitely buy again!
