I always have one of these at my desk at work - pushing paper I need copious amounts of hand lotion to keep those pesky paper cuts from getting to me :) It's cheap and quite good - and hey, it's cruelty free!!

This is a regular, nice, soft hand cream. nothing too special about it, considering I got it for a couple of euros because it was on a discount. the typical tube of hand cream to keep in your bag, or to keep in the office to apply every now and then. the formula is not greasy, the smell is intense but not annoying.
it's not crazy moisturizing, it does its job. I mostly use it before I go to sleep so I can apply bit more and leave it on all night. all in all is a nice product, I just finished one tube so I will definetly repurchase it.

My mother has this and I sometimes apply it on my hands and my hands feel soft the whole day! The smell is pretty nice too and I noticed that my nails hardened more after using this, so yay for Yves Rocher! <3

THE REASON: Every girl needs to moisturize her hands, right?
THE PRODUCT: Lightweight, clear yellow, scented cream in a standard tube that delivers the right amount of product. One must check Yves Rocher catalogues to catch it at super discount price.
THE RESULTS: Absorbs quickly, moisturizes my hands ok... I wouldn't say this is the most wonderful hand cream, but it sure does a decent job. A little goes a long way. I haven't noticed much difference in my cuticles compared with other "hands only" creams. I would like a hand cream with SPF, though... As for the scent, it's not overwhelming IMO, and dissipates quickly enough: after some minutes I must sniff my hand really hard (something I usually don't do) to notice the scent.
THE INGREDIENT LIST: Water, Glycerin, Stearic acid, Propylene glycol, Vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Stearyl alcohol, Sodium cetearyl sulfate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Mangifera indica leaf extract, Arnica chamissonis flower extract, Butylene glycol, talc, Fragance, Methylparaben, Panthenol, Allantoin, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tocopheryl acetate, BHT, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl acylate crosspolymer, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Sodium hydroxide, Yellow 5, Red 40.

I received this as a free gift with purchase - i've been an YVES ROCHER addict for years, predominently using their Bio-Calmille Line and going to get facials (excellent estheticians at a great price)...
but i've always hated their bath and body products. HATED THEM... the scents are always so over powering.
This hand cream is no different - in my box, i received my face cream/eye gel/face wash and received this handcream and a body wash (desire de nature) and, i kid you not, the smell eminating from these two products was so overwhelming that it made me dizzy, nauseated, and dilated my pupils - as thought i were high, but definitely not in a good way.
A pity- all the free products they sent me are now going to some unsuspecting sap because i just cannot tolerate the smell. I dont even care if the hand cream works... throwing up in public isnt an option i'm willing to risk.

What a little hidden gem from Yves Rocher! This hand cream sinks in really really quickly, but moisturizes substantially! It makes the skin on my hands look supple and even-toned. I couldn't ask for more! I will repurchase unless I find a miracle hand cream that erases freckles and wrinkles, moisturizes with only one application, and makes nails grow :)!

You can get this for a very good price on sale ($2-$3). It moisturizes well and is fast absorbing while still leaving hands soft. The smell really gets to me, though, and I just can't get past it, so I won't be buying it again.

One of the few handcreams I repurchase regularly. The prices are very good with the frequent Yves Rocher offers. This hand cream moisturizes without feeling heavy, although I won't say that it's heavy-duty enough for the driest of hands. One lipstick off for the scent, it's way too strong.

It is not THE best handcream I have ever used, but it is up there with my HG that I use before sleep. I have three of them, two in different bags and one by the kitchen sink. The one by my bed is Neutrogenas "Norwegian" formula, which during sleep works its wonderfull magic.
The reason I use the Arnica everywhere is because it doesn't give me the greasy-hands syndrome (I have very warm hands - not moist, just warm), and it moisturizes enough when my hands are feeling dry wherever I go. It is not good enough for work though, where I use a lot of drying anti-bacterial soap.
But for the price, the practical tube and the clicktop-cap it is a good friend to pick up from my bag.
Just a note:
After more than 15 years of being a repeat customer at Yves Rocher, I've closed my membership and account after being treated rudely one last time by their customer service in Norway. Clearly the company has a worldwide issue with their customers if they are dissatisfied, after reading more than one review mentioning it.

I am a hand lotion freak. This is one of the nicest smelling lotion & absorbs very quickly into your skin. It's probably not the most moisturizing if you have super-dry hands (i.e. in winter) but for every day moisturizing, it's terrific. If you live in Canada, you can always stock up when Yves Rocher has 1/2 price events.

I am wishing I had bought 2 or 3 tubes while they were on sale, but I wasn't sure how this product would be. The scent is light and the power of this hand lotion is amazing. I wash my hands a hundred times a day and nothing seems to help. Not even Eurcerin. This soaks in right away but you can still feel that it's working to stop the dryness. It doesn't leave a film either. Definte repurchase!

Very good moisturizer for hands. I like its absorbency and the fact that it does not leave my hands feel greasy at all. It is nothing extra luxurious though, like the packaging is alright, and smell is nothing special. So, I would say it gives you all you would expect from a very good hand moisturizer, but nothing more than that.

My nails/cuticles are usually very dry and rough.I usually hide my fingers.This helps make my hands look 10 times better even without manicure.I feel more confident with it.Never tried other brands but with this, I don't have to.
