I bought this stuff in Israel at duty free where you got three for two so it worked out very cheap and I'm not sure what it would cost at home. The packaging is nothing to write home about and I'm not mad about the smell but the thing is - it works. If your hands have developed that set of fine wrinkles when you flex the fingers up, this will get rid of them. So I don't care how much it costs, what it looks like or how it smells. They're going to have to pump the Dead Sea dry before I give this up.

My favorite hand cream. Smells like lavendar and really works well. I'm on my second tube. Two thumbs up! :)

Great product! Only if L'Occitane is better, but if want something lighter during the day this is perfect.

I like this ok- it has a nice smell (IMO), though a bit cloying and "old lady"(yeeesh), but kind of comforting too. hmmm maybe I need Freud more than this hand cream...
Anyway, there are other hand creams I would rather use for a multitude of reasons: Curel is cheaper and more widely available. Lather (and MDForte)has an AHA that works in more quickly and supposedly will help with the age spots (?). Camille Beckman has an infinitely better smelling hand cream, and leaves hands velvety. should I say more?

I have different types of hand cream all over the house since I'm constantly washing my hands, and I didn't think this cream cut the mustard. My hands still felt dry and tight 1/2 hour after applying. Although not offensive, the fragrance is a bit overpowering. For seventeen bucks, I'd rather buy L'Occitane.

This is by far the best hand cream. Most leave your hands feeling greesy but not Ahava. It leaves your skin feeling like velvet and smooth. Also highly recommended is ahava body cream which comes in a pump. (any ahava product is good actually) It feels like a spa in a bottle! The cream is a little more affordable for its size though and last longer then the hand cream. I will always buy Ahava. There is nothing better then it.

This is the GREATEST, MOST WONDERFUL hand cream ever made. Maybe it has something to do with the Dead Sea salts it contains. This product of Israel is the best hand cream I've found, out of many tried. It smells great, has a perfect consistency and moisturizes my hands like it was made for me.

Oh, this is definitely my HG of hand lotions. It smells fabulous and keeps my hand so soft all day! When worn overnight with cotton gloves on, I swear my hands are cleaner and whiter than they were the night before. Have been using this for 5 years.

I only had testers of this cream, but it was enough for me to see, this is a very good handcream. Quite moisturizing and smells just great, but perhaps not moisturizing enough for extremely dry hands. After I applied it my hands were soft and smooth, like baby's skin. Highly recommended.

I hate that Ahava changed the scent of their hand cream. A few years ago, it had no fragrance at all. You could detect something slightly botanical but not really. Now, it's perfumed heavily and I so wish they would go back to the old formula. I think it's greasier now too.

It's a wonderful cream though and just a dab will moisturize both hands and wrists and keep them moisturized and soft and silky.

The old formula would get the highest rating. The scent of the new one brings it down a notch though. You can find these cheap on ebay! (about 1/3 of the price)

I could not handle the heavy scent of this hand cream. Gave it away immediately. Could not stand the headache it gave me.

I received an Ahava gift set which included the Body Lotion, Hand Cream and Foot Cream. The scent to all 3 are identical, kind of a perfumy, slightly floral, slighly spicy. Although a lot of my friends liked the scent I didn't care for it but I thought the lotion and both creams were nice, if a bit greasy, esp. the foot cream. My skin is so dry that I used everything on my body and it felt nice, even though a bit greasy. But honestly, I wouldn't go out and buy it as you can find similar items for less but it's nice if someone gives it to you as a gift.

Just a dab is enough to soothe my dry winter skin. It really makes my hands feel moisturized and soft after being out in the cold dry weather. It has a pleasent scent which isn't too strong. It's the perfect size to keep in your purse or in your car. Even my boyfriend likes to use it!!

A rich, non-greasy hand creme. Very moisturizing and it works well. But it's not the best on the market, and for the budget minded there are better deals out there. The major reason why I swapped mine away is I disliked the scent.

This is a nice hand cream. It has a creamy consistency and a nice light fragrance. I would definitely repurchase.

This is a GREAT hand cream. I have horrible, horrible hands, especially in the wintertime, and Ahava really does the job. It has the most amazing silky consistency and doesn't leave a FILM on your hands like so many other hand creams. I use this every day, several times a day. I rather like the scent, so it doesn't bother me at all. Certainly not as strong a scent as other hand creams I've used.

This is a great hand cream and one I would use again, but I found that BlissLabs High Intensity hand cream worked just as well, and I prefer the scent of it, so I'll generally stick with it.

Way to fragrant for my taste. Ended up giving the tube away to a friend and she only had raves for it. If they ever decide to do a unscented version then I'll give it another try until then I'll just stick with my Clarins.
