I bought this for the first time a few years ago when I was overseas. I love the moisturizing effect, nice subtle scent and how it makes my skin feel. I don't like the steep price however. I actually used the Lipidiose 1. I love Vichy, just not the high price.

I really like this hand cream! I got it as a gift and love just about everything about it... (except the steep price). I have eczema prone hands and this stuff works awesome. Great scent and it's not greasy! My only rant is that it's kinda pricey and i find myself needing to re-applying this quite frequently. Will definitely watch out for the 2 for 1 deal :)

I was looking for the perfect handcream which would nourish and moisturize efficiently but absorb quickly and, very importantly, smell good. This cream is actually it. I have to reapply it several times a day to maintain the result of smooth, moisturized and very comfortable skin as opposed to the itchy-scratchy dry feeling I usually had. The scent is subtle and beautiful (OPI, you should learn something here), the colleague sitting next to me has complemented it several times :). The downside is that I'm running out of it pretty quickly and I don't think I can afford to repurchase it on regular basis because the price is a bit steep.
For the first time I'm actually glad I didn't consult MUA before I bought a product - I'd probably never have purchased it judging by the overall rating.

First of all I really like the scent. This is very often 2 for 1 or sold with a lip treatment at SDM. A little more money than the common hand creams like Avon, Vaseline, etc. Described as "concentrated care for chapped hands with Re-Fibryl (trade mark) Lastingly soothes and nourishes" "Re-Fibryl" is described as "exclusive combination of absorbic acid and Vitamin A reowned for their restorative properties....." It does absorb quickly, smells nice and moisturizes. I have repurchased. 50ml tube. SDM should have a tester out (the smell/scent seems to be a deal breaker!) and watch for a 2 for 1 deal.

I kinda like this hand cream. It's one I use during the day, and when I know I'm going to shake hands with someone, because it leaves that satiny-smooth silicone feel to your skin. The second ingredient after water is Clyclopentasliloxane (silicone), so it's formulated just for that reason. I don't think I've seen this particular silicone in a hand lotion before. It's also got the normal dimethicone high up in the list. This also has shea butter, glycerin, petrolatum (I find this okay for the hand/feet area), soy, vitA&E, etc. Then it has something called acexamic acid (never seen this before), that must exfoliate a bit. I must say my hands are the worst ever, and if I'd just keep after them they'd improve, but I don't. I ride horses, muck stalls, and expose my hands to more sun than any hand should ever see. My hands are a wreck. This lotion can make them very soft and supple. That's a lot to ask of any product, and this stands up to the challenge. Oh, and I personally LOVE the faint scent.

If anything, for the smell. When layered with Vera Wang's Princess, the aftersmell on my skin is heavenly.

My husband hates it, he thinks it smells awful, but I LOVE it.

It didn't absorb as well as the cheaper Olay Quench product for hands, but it worked. :) Just wish it had SPF in it... your hands show aging too!

Good handcream for chapped hands in the winter. I find that it absorbs quickly, lasts through a handwash or two, and smells relatively inoccuous. I got this as a Christmas special, 2 for CAD$11.99, so I was pleased. I think I would buy this again, not as my main hand repairer, but as a little tube for my purse when I'm out.

I have very dry hands especially in the winter, so this works well for me. I only need to use a pea-size amount and then massage it in thoroughly. If I use too much, it is sticky and does not absorb, hence small amounts are the way to go for me. Granted, it does take longer than some hand creams to absorb, particularly if too much is used, but it is worth it for the results. Hand stay moisturized even after washing with soap.

Horrible scent, horrible texture, average results, above average cost - not worth it! Does not soak into the skin at all, and did I mention that it smells awful???

It's the best I've ever tried. I work in a pre-school and wash my hands very often, I apply the cream at night and the next day my hands stay moisturized, without any tight feeling. I would highly recommend it.

Didn't care much for this cream...My hands are very dry, and I'm constantly searching for something that will moisturize them well, and since this handcream is supposed to be for "very dry skin", I bought it. But alas! It has a very siliconey feel to it, almost oily (cyclopentasiloxane on second place on the INCI-list), takes ages to absorb, and I find myself reapplying it very often, since the effect doesn't last. I still prefer Ahava and Aveda when it comes to handcreams.

I've tried numerous hand creams & nothing has been more moisturizing than this. Will surely re-purchase.

This is an average hand cream and not worth the extra money. Although I do like the scent and the fact that it is quickly absorbed into my skin

This hand cream isn't that moisturizing, though it does absorb fast. I would say this is good for the woman on the run that doesn't want to wait 10 minutes for her cream to absorb. But for a more deep conditioning treatment for the hands i wouldn't use this, but rather something more emollient.
