  I suffer from dermatitis on my hands and as a result have used many different hand creams. This one is easily absorbed and highly hydrating. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has dry skin!

  This is the best hand cream I have ever used. It’s quite thick but is easily absorbed and makes your hands ultra smooth. I love it!

  Brilliant! Best hand cream ever invented. Great for even the dryest of skin, I sometimes even use it on my heels (though they do make one for feet as well). It’s really nice and thick and the results seem to last for a while.

  This is one of the best moisturizer’s I have ever come across! The moisturizer is think but quick absorbing and leaves my hands so soft to the point where I have been complemented! The only down fall of the product is the smell.

  I don’t love the smell of this, but boy does it moisturise! It is a thicker cream, but absorbs quickly. A great buy for those with dry hands (also good on feet and other dry areas).

  Fantastic product, I get very dry hands to the point that the skin across my knuckles crack and bleed and as you can imagine, very painful.I was given a tube of this for Xmas and 5 days (applying morning and before bed) later my hands were smooth, soft and supple. I would recommend to evryone!!! Great smell, non greasy and easily absorbed. Absolutely fantastic!!!!

  Great for really dry hands and feet. Not a great fan of the scent, but for some reason my dog adores it and desperately wants to lick it off my hands!

  have heard so many rave reviews about this -and once i did try it i agreed with them!

  i will say though that it doesnt absorb completely -leaves you with greasy digits!

  also the aluminium style packaging creases a lot -once i got a crease in the side it got weather until the packaging ruptured.. in my bag so i wasn’t too impressed. having said that the product is so great for extremely dry hands -slather this on and pop under cotton gloves and your hands will be baby smooth!

  I have to agree with everyone else on this one! This hand cream is amazing! It is easily absorbed but most of all it smells delicious.

  I do love the effects of this cream, but the smell isn’t the best- being hemp I guess they can’t help that! It leaves my hands so incredibly soft, and I use it on my heels too and find it does a bette job than many specific heel creams do. It absorbs well but I do find it leaves a bit of a greasy residue, but I’m happy to live with that because of the results it gives!

  This is a very good moisturising hand cream, it is very rich and emollient which is great for hands in need of nourishment. I find that it works well on my hands straight after washing. However because I wash my hands so much I can never really see the long term benefits of this cream. The smell is a bit herbal and it’s very thick, so keep that in mind if you don’t like that kind of thing

  I also forgot to mention that with the packaging being aluminum tubing, after using it for awhile cracks start to appear and the edges become sharp. So I probably wouldn’t recommend putting it into a bag which is delicate or against clothing

  I really like this as a hand cream, it does a great job of protecting your hands (like the name suggests) and it is a great moisturizer, however I really don’t like the smell. It smells a tad odd and actually makes me feel a little ill.

  As a sensitive skinned girl, who has suffered from contact dermatitis – I know hand creams!! I’ve tried them all, and this is my favourite by far. Seriously moisturising and long lasting, but not greasy – it’s just about perfect.

  Not such a fan.

  Pros:
  Fast absorbing
  Does not feel greasy or slick after application

  Cons:
  Not too effective in moisturising very dry hands (or for people who work with their hands in water a lot)

  I actually prefer the Kielh’s Ultimate strength hand slave especialy in winter.

  I love this hand cream. You can feel from the texture that it is a luxury item. It absorbs well and has gotten something of a cult following within my social circles. Have and will always recommend it.

  BEST. HAND CREAM. EVER! as someone that washes my hands hundreds of times a day ( i work in child care and doing nappy changes for 16 kids multiple times leads to lots of washing!) i need a super fantastic hand cream to combat the drying effect that soap has on my hands. this is the product thats works wonders for me! sinks in like a dream and makes my hand soft as the bubbas bottoms i am always cleaning! i gave it one star less because i sometimes find the package cracks and some cream escapes into my bag, although this is when i have squeezed the pack to within an inch of its life!

  To my boyfriends utter dismay I use this most nights with Body Shop cotton gloves. He complained I looked like a deraged mime, but shut up pretty fast after I convinced him to use some on some bad wind burn he’d recieved after a camping trip!

  Moisturising, and I find helps with healing small cuts and scratches.
