I really wanted to like this product, but I just can't. My hands get very dry in the winter, and also because I do a lot of cooking and cleaning, so I use a lot of hot water. It makes the skin on my hands very tight and almost painful. I bought the travel size tin at Target, so I don't really feel like I wasted money, but I don't like it for two reasons. The smell is really bad. It's very heavily perfumed and I found that I never felt like the creme absorbed fully into my skin. It just sat on it and made my hands feel greasy. I definitely won't be repurchasing, and my search for a good hand creme continues.

This is such a good hand cream as compared to the expensive burt's bee shea butter hand cream which doesn't moisturise my hands enough. I bought this at target for about a $1 AU which is dirt cheap. It leaves my hands silky smooth and a little goes a very long way. The tube will last me a good 3 -4 months. Will surely repurchase after I run out.

This is SO good! Moisturizes my dry hands like crazy without being greasy. My skin drinks up this cream!!! Today -although it might seem a little unorthodox- I even used it on my face and my skin was hydrated with a beautiful glow! Highly recommended!!!

The hand cream is of a slightly thick consistency.
Rubs in well.
Moisturises very well.
I like this one for being non-sticky. But it is kinda greasy.
Unfortunately it doesn't have SPF in it,nor UVA/UVB filters.
Does it's job. I use it at night just before i go to sleep! When I wake up, i notice that my cuticles are somewhat pushed up and my nail looks so shiny and strong and HEALTHY. It gets rid of the cut skin around nails (i don't know how it's called) blisters i guess? and prevents wrinkling :D

This is the best hand cream I have used. It absorbs fairly quickly, does not feel greasy or sticky, smells extremely nice but unobtrusive and leaves my hands soft, smooth and very moisturized for a very long time. My cuticles and nails are in a much better condition as well when I use it, it's just perfect.

Serious HG since I discovered it ~2 years ago, I don't want to buy anything else!

This is one of the best handcreams out there, no doubt. It's perfect: very moisturizing but not greasy, absorbs very fast and stays on the skin until the next handwashing, smells nice but not overpowering. I use this in all occasions: at work, at my desk, before bed. I'm impressed when I wake up and my hands are still soft and smooth. With other hand creams, the moisturizing effects wear off during the night, but not with this one.

I've already repurchased this product twice and I will continue to do so! So glad I've found such a wonderful product at such a low price!

Possibly my HG hand cream. It absorbs faster than any other lotion I've ever used and has absolutely no greasy residue after. It lasts, too. I don't need to reapply it constantly like with some other lotions. I will definitley keep buying this.

hands down one of the absolute best hand creams I have tried!! Granted, I usually use this several times per day, but I think it is more or less how much I love the feeling of this cream when I put it on. It is most definitley not greasy but rather feels like silk when you rub it into your hands. You can pretty well almost immediately turn door knobs, etc. without your hands slipping off (I'm sure we've all 'been there done that').

March 2009 --> I have found that combined with this and my leather conditioner that I use on my new saddle for my horse (I rub the conditioner into the leather with my fingers), my hands have never been softer and more conditioned!

This is the best hand cream I have ever used, hands down. It sinks in a second. It leaves your hands very soft and best of all, non-greasy. There is (to me, that is) no particular scent. Definite HG.

A good basic hand cream. The scent is pleasant but not overpowering, and it's not greasy at the very least - it's a little creamy, even. A light cream

I give this four stars though, because while it does work well with keeping hands non-flaky and soft, I find that I have to reapply it often, sometimes even two or three hours later, However, I would still repurchase.

This is a very nice hand cream for the price! It has a very nice mild scent that reminds me of my lovely childhood because the Nivea face cream (the thick cream in a tin) was a must in the house before. this smells similar to it. this moisturizes and soothes hands and not at all sticky. I also like that it comes in tube packaging. I gave it 4 lippies because while it is very nice to use in spring and summer it wasn't thick enough for my very dry skin in winter.

Absolutely love this. My hands are really dry and I have to wash them frequently making them even drier. This is the only thing that works to actually help with the dryness. Super-fast absorbing. And my hands are soft and shiny looking after application, but even better it has improved the appearance of my hands/nails in the long run too. A thick fluffy cream consistency; classic Nivea fragrance. A little bit is all you need. I tuck this in my purse and tote it everywhere I go so I'm never without it. I would definitely recommend this hand cream. And will definitely be repurchasing. Absolutely fabulous product. Well done Nivea!

This is so much better than many more expensive (cough*ripoff*cough) hand creams I've tried. Rich but quickly absorbed, non-greasy, smells lovely (sort of 'comforting'), leaves my hands feeling soft and not at all sticky. The tube is a basic design - practical and no-nonsense with a handy flip top lid - but pretty too. My HG hand cream!

Girls Ditch those fancy expensive organic handcreams cos we have one that works just as well for a fourth of the price!. Cos my skins sensitive my hands get really dry in the winter (whitish), I've tried all sorts of handcreams. I didn't think it would work so well since its rather cheap, but its abosrbs really fast (for the amount of nourishment it gives), smells great, feels silky soft and not too heavy or sticky when it absorbs. It also works great for cuticles! Clear winner!

I immediately fell in love with this hand cream the moment I first tried it. It has a very rich texture, but not too buttery and not greasy at ALL. Consistency like Cool Whip. Spread lighter than margarine - yes, margarine, not butter (but again, not greasy!) and absorbed into my skin IMMEDIATELY. A pea-sized amount is enough to nourish my hands completely. I was able to pick up items such as a pen and experienced no slipperiness whatsoever. NO residue at all! My hands feel softer after only 1 application!

Has the fresh Nivea signature scent which is really pleasant and not too strong at all. Scent sticks around but fades subtly, leaving behind a whiff of clean citrus with a hint of floral.

I purchased the 30mL (1 fl. oz) sample-sized tube for $1.99 CDN which, when you do the math, works out to around $6.50 CDN for the regular-sized 100mL (3.3 fl. oz) tube. Not dirt-cheap but definitely affordable. The petite blue and pink tube and easy flip-top cap that won't fly open in your purse means that it can be toted around easily.

This product is HIGHLY recommended! I'd use it all day and at night; it isn't too heavy for frequent use and is moisturizing enough for nighttime duty. My other favourite hand cream is L'Occitane's Shea Butter Hand Cream which is a little more greasy and more expensive, as well. This product is just as great for a fraction of the cost, so what are you waiting for? Go give it a try!
