20 Best Hand Cream For Crepey Skin (Jan 2023 Update)

For people who are wondering what's the difference between the old formula and the new formula, here is what I found: New Formula: – Rapeseed and linseed seed extract has switched places on the ingredient list. Rapeseed is higher up on the ingredients list. – Argania Spinosa Kernel oil (new) has been added – More Coconut oil (existing) has been added – Honey, Sweet Almond, and Althaea Officinalis Root extract has been removed – Urea has been removed (it's a star ingredient) – Some minor differences with the preservatives (no biggie) Due to the removal of ingredients and the addition of more oils in the hand cream, it is definitely much greasier and runny compared to the previous formula. If you don't mind having an oil-based hand cream, this would be okay. But every reformulation of a popular product is usually a step backward… I'm sticking with the old formulation and will be looking toward buying a hand cream packed with better moisturising ingredients. Really wish they didn't reformulate it. Don't fix what isn't broken. I hope they don't reformulate the almond range or else I am done with Loccitane. The extracts are what makes it good.Casandra

I’ve received 3 deluxe samples of this product in GWPs over the last few months. I wanted to love this hand crème because of other products I’ve used from this brand. It does nice on my hands and does create a protective barrier, but I’m constantly having to reapply it to maintain moisture. It has 20% shea butter, so I figured it would last more than 30 minutes (or one hand-washing session)—it does neither for me. You can see in the photo that my hand is still particularly dry and that was after using this for several days. I went through all 3 deluxe samples. It retails for $29USD for a 5.2oz tube, which *is* a fairly large tube.. but I’d much rather pay $10 for a 3.3oz tube for a different brand that creates a moisturizing, protectant barrier that lasts longer, works better for my hands, and have the ability to choose which a scent. I’d recommend this brand to those who aren’t constantly using their hands.. but if your lifestyle causes you to use your hands all the time, I’d suggest giving other brands a try as well.amanda.f

When I first got this I was really put off by the texture. It was too thick, hard to apply and it’d take a while to be absorbed by the skin. It then occurred me to stop by a L‘Occitane store and ask for a sample of it. Indeed, what I got from Sephora is far from the real deal. Either Sephora got a bad batch of this or it wasn’t stored adequately or something, but what I received is definitely not right. If your only option is to buy this online, probably best to skip it, and if you’re buying at a Sephora store be sure to check the texture before purchasing. The sample I got from L‘Occitane is actually quite good and I’d recommend the product if you can it properly.MayaX

Caudalie hand cream is just lovely, so creamy and moisturising but it doesn't feel greasy; the cream absorbs well. This bauble is great value at the sale price particularly and makes an ideal gift, although I have purchased two of these previously and love them for the different 'flavours'. The fragrance is subtle and makes your hands feel special. Perfect size for popping in a hand bag or for taking away. I will be buying again especially at the reduced price.Josey

I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my daughter for Christmas when I went to visit her, and thought I'd try 1 for the first time while I was there. It smells so good, and left my hands super soft! These hand creams nourish, protect, and repair hands. They're enriched with grape seed oil, and helps to strengthen nails! They are vegan, and made with no animal ingredients, and not tested on animals, and is safe for the environment! The Rose De Vigne, of course has a light rose scent. The Creme Gourmande has notes of orange blossom and orange wood, and The Des Vignes has the delicate scent of white musk, neroli, and ginger. All 3 smell amazing, yet delicate! If your hands need some TLC, and you also like a nice, light scent, and/or use vegan products, I recommend this for you! A nice trio set!darlene.c

I love caudalie and was surprised that I found this product to my extreme disliking. I do not recommend this product because it first of all has a strong, suffocating smell, in my experience (like an overwhelming perfume). And, it created a burning sensation on my hands. I wash my hands often and have sensitive skin. This product managed to thoroughly irritate those conditions. I'd assume that many folks wanting a hand cream have some sort of dryness. So, I just wished they created something that would be without such strong scent or whatever it was that led to irritation. I purchased several as gifts and returned what I could when I tried my own supply. Unfortunately, I had shipped a care package to one of pregnant friends; this product was included. She couldn't tolerate the smell:(. Anyway, I do not recommend based on my experience.loveyall

I got this as an add-on since it was suggested to me during checkout, and I figured why not. I don't normally use products with such a high amount of fragrances due to fear of irritation, but I also figured that surely my hands wouldn't be too affected by it. Turns out I was wrong: I used this product for a few weeks and formed rashes, dry spots, and flakiness all around my hands. It hurt to put warm/hot water on it, which made hand-washing and showering quite irritating. Putting on more of the balm didn't help, but my hands insantly got better and the rashes went away once I swapped it for a regular and fragrance-free drugstore handcream. It is at least kinda moisturising, but absolutely not worth the irritant risk and how it ruined my hands. Taking a look at the ingredient list now, it makes sense, since they have quite a few fragrant ingredients like citrus, lavender, and alcohol. Smelled good though, if rashes are worth it.e214

This balm smells divine; a wonderful mix of citrus and rosemary leaf. It leaves my hands soft and smelling wonderful without any greasy residue. It sinks in quickly and really softens the hard skin that sometimes develops around the edges of my nails. I love saturating my hands, nails and cuticles in this balm before bed and I wake up with soft and supply hands! Also, as with all Aesop products, the packaging is so aesthetically pleasing!Carysg01

A lovely herbal/citrus scented hand cream that appears quite thick but yet sinks in pretty much instantly, although not sure why it's been named as a 'balm' when the texture isn't anything like a balm. I love the Resurrection hand wash and was hoping the scent of the hand balm would be the same, and it is. Using the hand wash first and then layering on the balm makes the fragrance last so much longer than when I was just using the hand wash on its own. When I first picked this up in store the ingredients list jumped out at me straight away, as it's very similar to the 'Amande' hand cream (and to an extent the Shea butter one) by L'Occitane, if you compare them without the essential oils that are in Aesop's. Functionality wise though I prefer this over L'Occitane, even though it contains much less Shea butter – making it less richer, it compensates with other carrier oils that seem to do the trick and keep my hands nourished and soft. My only dislike is the metal tube, which like L'Occitane's can be a pain once you near the end of it and try to push out any remaining cream, creating tears in the sides of the tube, out of which some of the product leaks. At this price I definitely don't want any of this product to be wasted! Next time I might just invest in the larger half-litre size that comes in a plastic pump dispenser like the hand wash. Well I best start saving up in that case… ~ My Space NK Top 7 must-have list ~ (thought it might be useful to share my top 7 must-have beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Space NK) 1.

I have found a great product that works on my crepey skin. This product does work great on my skin. It leaves my skin soft and SMOOTH. The crepey is 99% gone. I just started using it. I expect 100% no crepey skin after I use it for a few more weeks. I didn't think anything would work this well for crepey skin but it does. I highly recommend this product. Now is just needs to come in either a big jar or a bigger tude. Just this product a try you won't be disappointed.SueBiss

I purchased this cream on 8/23/2022 from Walmart for $11.97. I was really hoping that someone finally developed such a cream at an affordable price that all women could use. It stated that you would have "visible" improvement in just 2 days. After religiously using the product for 2 weeks, it has changed absolutely nothing. My skin is still the same. I would have been somewhat satisfied if there was some improvement but there was NONE. If anything I found the cream to be too thick and filmy – it was not being absorbed well by the skin cells. I would really like my money refunded back to me. I still have the Walmart receipt and will gladly send back what is left in the bottle as long as Gold Bond sends me the mailing label.RC Palm Coast FL

I am truly amazed that this Gold Bond Crepe Corrector works! I will be 52 later this year and my hands look older than my face. I have bony, veiny hands. This started about 5 years ago but my hands were always thin-skinned, so now they have lost their elasticity and were looking crepey. I had only used the product on my hands and forearms a total of 3 times when I started noticing the skin tightening up. The tightening helps to hide the veins and boniness, but it's not completely hidden. It has made a noticeable difference. Now I'm using the lotion on my neck and any areas that concern me to help tighten those areas. I came to the Walmart site to make a purchase of 2 of these just in case they discontinue it. That happens to me so much when I love a product. I know writing an honest review can help keep this miracle worker on the store shelves. It is quite thick but it absorbs nicely. I don't care for it on my palm sides so much. I use my fave lotion on my palms/ undersides. I put the Gold Bond on the backs of my hands and up my forearms overnight and wake up to younger hands. I also love most of the Gold Bond products over the years. Time to stock uo!Julia

I received this product complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my honest review: I have very dry skin and especially going into spring from winter it’s very dry here and then using hand sanitizer because of Covid all the time, they were bad to the point they were cracking and hurting. I started using this cream once I received it and I notice results right away. The cream is thick but is absorbed easily in the skin. It smells great too. I would 100% purchase this in the future as i have tried quite a few intensive moisturizing creams and none so far have been able to clear my dry hands like this one. It also a plus that it has natural ingredients because it’s a great feeling to not have to worry about my skin potentially having a reaction to any of the ingredients.Cara

I received this product thanks to Influenster and Natura to try out and I am so glad I did. This cream is so nice and creamy it also smells good. Not like a chemically, alcohol scent but w very natural like coco smell. I am sensitive to scents and this one seems to be good for me. I don’t like putting things on my body that has harsh and unnecessary scents. This cream is clean compared to others. The moment I apply it I see the affects instantly. My hands look and feel hydrated. I wash my hands a lot and always have dry hands and this product really helps me with that. You see it immediately. This is now my to go to hand cream. Thank you Influenster and Natura!manuela.g

Thank you so much Influenster and Natura for sending me this Natura Ekos Castanha Nourishing Hand Cream for free in exchange for my honest review! I love this Hand Cream so much! This hand cream smells amazing and leaves a delicate scent on your skin. I have problems with dry skin, so this hand cream works great, it also leaves your skin feeling moisturized, hydrated, soft and smooth. I use this on my dry skin especially in winter. This hand cream has a rich texture but it absorbs quickly into your skin, it has long lasting effects and you don't have to reapply often. A small amount of this hand cream goes a long way. This hand cream is not runny, greasy or oily like many other hand creams I have tried. I also love that this hand cream is made with natural ingredients. I definitely would recommend this Natura Ekos Castanha Nourishing Hand Cream to anyone and I definitely will be buying it!Ashley P.

I have extremely sensitive skin that dries out easily, so I have to slather on tons of lotion after every shower. I was using a certain other company's lotions (hint: they have lots of different scents), but I started to feel like the moisturizing component never lasted long enough and it always felt greasy to me. Plus, I wanted to move to a product that is certified as cruelty-free and has a commitment to sustainability. I tried all the different eos body lotions and finally settled on Coconut Waters as my favorite scent. It smells good without being over-powering, and it doesn't make my skin smell funky after it's been on for several hours (this was another issue I was having with the "other company's" lotions). I absolutely LOVE how rich this lotion is, how well it absorbs into my skin, and how it never feels greasy after it's applied. Please don't ever stop making this lotion!MindyC7609

This is my first eos product (honestly), I’d never purchase their lip balms either because I found them to be overly expensive compared to other brands that run frequent sales (i.e. Nivea and Chapstick). With that being said, this hand cream was just beyond disappointing. For the price, the size of it is fantastic compared to a lot of other brands, but I guess there’s a reason why it’s $2.99 for a 2.5oz tube. I didn’t love this at all. It’s started to get really cold here in NYC and because I don’t wear gloves, my hands will become dry and skin often cracks. I carry hand cream with me always and tried this out, but found that it wasn’t at all moisturizing. While it does sink into my skin quickly I found my hands to need a lot of this to stay remotely moisturized. It smells great and is a great size which are probably the only two redeeming factors about this hand cream. Despite having shea butter in it, my hands didn’t feel all that much different after using it. I’d pass on this honestly.vivian.n

I’m at my wit’s end with body care companies and their freaking smelly perfume additives. This brand is great hand cream, yet I can’t use this because it stinks so bad. If you can handle heavily perfumed products, then this will be okay for you, I guess. I loved the coconut scent as a hand cream, but it was a little too strong, so I was excited to try this fruity scent instead. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it’s not a nice, clean, fruit smell. It’s a little bit of fruit with a huge amount of stinky perfume. I will say I would be willing to use the coconut scent again just for the fact that it’s great on your hands, but I am just so disappointed by this company. And every company that feels the need to overpower us all with smelly smells!iHerb Customer

During the brutal winter months, my hands get so dry and tend to start cracking and bleeding, it is painful. I thought this was just normal and I had to put up with it every winter. I would lather on moisturizers and medications but nothing ever seemed to get rid of the dryness. I gave up after a while and just dealt with it. I decided to give this moisturizer a try and I am so glad I did. It is thick and creamy and melts right into my skin and gets rid of the dryness. I make sure to apply it every night before bed to make sure it helps out with my hands everyday. The scent may be a bit strong for some as it is a very masculine scent but honestly it does not even bother me. I am just happy I do not have to suffer with dry and painful hands anymlre.saira.m

I love everything about this hand cream and the whole Hemp line from TBS period. As for the hand protector, it does just that. It feels rich and nourishing like it's actually doing good things for my hands. The cream is THICK and a little goes a long way. I have 3 full-sized tubes and one travel size for my purse. Never want to be without this stuff. For context, I suffer from severely dry hands in the winter and mild eczema. Since starting this cream last winter I haven't seen my hands cracked, dry, itchy or inflamed once. I honestly believe the Hemp properties are healing and do the absolute most for suffering hands. Nothing aside from prescription steroid creams has ever healed my hands and kept them smooth, hydrated and eczema-free like this cream has. It is an absolute wonder product. The whole Hemp line, including the Hand Protector has a very specific scent. If you aren't into herbal, aromatic earthy scents (Hemp, patchouli, Vetiver and the like) you may struggle to enjoy the benefits because there's no getting around the scent. I happen to love it and bought the whole line so I can cover myself from head to toe. All of The Body Shop Hemp products are equally amazing.Tasha L

This is hands down the best hand cream I have ever tried, and I have tried MANY. They are always too lightweight, too greasy or I find myself asking “is this even doing anything?!”. Nothing comes close to competing with this hand cream from The Body Shop. It has been the only hand cream that has actually helped keep my hands moisturized during the colder months. It’s a thicker cream that spreads easily and quickly absorbs. It stays put through multiple hand washes and I can visibly see a difference in the appearance of my hands. I have multiple back ups and this will be a forever repurchase.hilary .l

This past year, I've washed my hands more than all other years combined! And although clean and hygienic, my hands are also rough and tough. That's why I was so relieved to find NEUTROGENA© Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. It is the best hand cream I've ever used, and I've tried many! It is fragrance free, and super rich! I used a nickel-sized amount in the morning, and then reapplied some throughout the day. NEUTROGENA© Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is not at all greasy, and it feels at first like it will be. But then when I rubbed it into my hands, they just felt super nourished and so soft! NEUTROGENA© Norwegian Formula Hand Cream relieved my rough, working hands instantly and constantly all day long. I even put some on at night, and my hands felt even softer in the morning! I'd recommend this product to anyone who's tried every other hand cream out there and want all day results that last longer and provide more hydration than all other hand creams.BabyDoubleJ3

In the winter, the skin on my hands gets very dry and can split easily. I have tried lots of different hand creams with varying degrees of success, some of worked to some extent and some haven't worked at all. So I was interested but sceptical about trying out this hand cream. Firstly, I noticed that I only needed a small amount to cover my hands. It absorbed well and left my hands non-sticky or greasy. After a few days use, I noticed that my hands were softer and seemed to be dealing with the cold weather better. They were less cracked as well. I carried this product around with me and applied it throughout the day, which gave me the best results. I don't think it would have made such a difference if I had only applied it once or twice a day. This is suitable for sensitive skin and didn't irritate the parts of my skin that were cracked when I started this product trial. I would definitely buy this again as it made a visible difference, more so than most other products I have used.weemargaret6

My dermatologist recommended this to me after I showed her some dry, patchy skin on my hands, which she attributed to hand washing. This is a creamy, almost gel like consistency, very rich in Glycerin. You must rub it in very thoroughly and not use too much, or it will feel "sticky" and heavy! Even with just one application of this after hand washing, my dry spots are soothed. I wish they made this in bigger sizes! It's also fragrance free, which makes this great for people with fragrance sensitivities. And for those concerned about the parabens: these are the most non-sensitizing preservatives available in personal care products, and are effective in very low amounts. The cosmetic chemistry experts say parabens are not a concern, so I'll gladly keep using this to fend off dry hands. It's also one of the most basic and simple formulas I've seen for most hand creams, with only about 8 total ingredients. I'm sure this would work even on very sensitive skin. I highly recommend!Nick

This is the best hand cream you can buy! I have 'working hands' and they take a beating. I don't like wearing rubber/latex gloves when I work so my hands are always in water. When the cold weather hits, here in Nebraska, they take a beating. I put a good amount on my hands before going to bed and work it into the skin as much as I can. I then put on cotton gloves that I get at the pharmacy and wear them all night. Not only does this cream soften and smooth the skin, it repairs the small nicks and cuts that I have. The tops of my thumbs and index fingers get small cracks in the winter. (You know what they are—so many people have this happen to their fingers.) O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream heals these minor cracks.My hands actually hurt at times b/c of the abuse on my skin and this cream makes my skin feel so good. IT IS THE BEST!!!STREGA

I'm actually worried about this company. The product is so good that you only need to buy one and it cures all your problems quickly and permanently. I used to have hands that would crack and bleed at the fingernails and knuckles during the winter, and of course everyone tries lotion and everything else, but I bought this stuff in a Lowe's hardware store and I have to tell you it's a miracle. My wife didn't really even want me to touch her because my hands were so scratchy, and I'm a maintenance man so I'm always using my hands and irritating them and stuff like that. I got O'Keefe working hands and now my hands are soft like a baby's, and that is just from buying one can of it and it's lasted me about 3 years. I wish I could go back in time and give this to my father when he suffered from the Indiana winters with painful cracked skin on his hands, this would have fixed everything.Braxton Lathan Williams

Okeefe's is the BEST problem skin product. Period. My wife is a diabetic and has tried all the OTC and prescription skin products on her hands and on her residual limb. She is a below the knee amputee and was having major skin issues on the part of her residual limb which is covered by the form-fitted silicone sleeve that fits into her prosthetic. I bought her Okeefe's two years ago and asked her to give it a shot. Her skin problem with breakdown cleared up. It also is the ONLY product which heals the cracks in her fingers. I just wish Walmart sold the larger size 6.8 ounce containers themselves and not from a third party sources.William

I have to start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Burt's Bees. I've been a loyal customer for years and years, and it's literally the only lip balm that I will use. For Christmas last year I got a Burt's Bees gift set. Included were a few lotions and things, and one of them was their burt's-bees-honey–grapeseed-hand-cream . On this product however, I'm torn. I can't decide if I really like it or not. On one hand it DOES make my hands really really soft. I will give it that. But! It seems like no matter how much I work it into my hands I can still feel it on them. My hands still feel pretty greasy after using this product, even if I use just the tiniest amount. There's also the smell. I really don't care for the smell at all. I was really hoping it would have a grape-ish scent to it because of the grapeseed, but it doesn't. It smells sort of like honey but I really just don't care for it at all. The cream itself is nice and thick and soothing. The driest of hands are made smooth with this intensely hydrating cream. The combination of honey and skin-softening, nutrient-rich oils nourishes and reconditions dry, overworked hands, leaving them soft to the touch. Daily therapy that nourishes and softens dry hands. Reconditions overworked skin with honey, jojoba oil and rosemary extract. Also with skin-softening cupuaçu butter and vitamin rich grapeseed and macadamia oils. Leaves hands naturally soft to the touch, smooth and healthy. Moisturize, revitalize and condition dry skin for up to 24 hours. Formulated with emollient honey cream that is ideal for nourishing and moisturizing skin on your knees, elbows, and feet. Keeps skin healthy looking while the sweet honey scent relaxes senses and smells fresh. Soften and instantly soothe cracked skin on your hands. Also contains Shea butter and beeswax. 98% natural origin. #1 dermatologist recommended natural skincare brand. Leaping Bunny Certified cruelty-free, which is very important to me. Formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS. Landfill-free operations. Responsible sourcing and recyclable packaging. I love Burt's Bees as a brand and all the good they do, but I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of this product. To me it falls short of their normally awesome line of products. I don't really think I would recommend it, but if you're a big fan of honey then you may really like it!ashley.h

I'm obsessed with this product to say the least. I'm "I hope they never ever discontinue this product" kind of obssesed just to give yall an idea about how great I think this product is. The packaging is also very cute plus both the bottle and the cap are recyclable! ♻️ Personally I'm going to keep it for decoration when the product runs out! This cream can be used for your knees, elbows and hands to keep it moisturized. DO NOT use it on your face ESPECIALLY if you have oily skin. Also if you do apply it on your hands then make sure it's during a time that you aren't busy because this product is meant to keep moisture in your skin so it won't fully absorb which can make things slippery sometimes. Keep in mind this product is nutrient rich so it's easy to over do it so only apply a small amount:) This cream smells like sweet almond but I'm not picky about smells and I have a high tolerance to them so I had my sister who has sensitivity to fragrances test it out. She said it has a mild fragrance but it did make her throat feel a little Itchy and that if she smelled it for a long time then it would definitely give her a headache! So I don't reccomend this for people who are sensitive to smell! Overall I 100% recommend this product! It has a beautiful formula, earth safe packaging and affordable too! I bought this at Walmart for only $10 🙂 INGREDIENTS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION: Sweet almond oil, beeswax, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, non fat dry milk, honeysuckle flower extract and soybean oil 🍯 (these aren't the only ingredients)nadia .r

This Burts Bees Naturally Clean Hand Cream has a nice thick consistency. My hands are very dry and cracked so I need a very moisturizing cream for them. Some of them are just too watery and don’t absorb. This cream however feels like it absorbs into my skin which helps soften and protect my skin. It takes a couple of minutes to dry on my hands, but once it does, my hands feel hydrated and they don’t feel greasy. This cream comes in a nice little bottle which is great for on the go and fits in my pocket if I’m traveling light. It doesn’t really have a scent to it, just a subtle clean one which is nice. This makes my hands feel good and look nicer when I put rub it on. I appreciate that it is cruelty free and made with natural ingredients as well which are important in the products I use. I would recommend it.Alex_M

I’ve noticed a difference and an improvement in my skin texture since using this hand cream every night. It has quite a thick consistency but it’s easily absorbed and it has a pleasant fragrance. It was well packaged and it arrived quickly, but I’ve deducted a star because of the price. The price I paid for the small size of the tube I received works out to be very expensive. This isn’t going to last very long.Julie K.

I just love Strivectin products & this hand cream has become one of my all time favourites very quickly. I apply prior to starting work on a morning, I am frequently hand washing & applying anti bacterial cleanser and this product appears to feel like a coating balm which keeps my hands and especially my cuticles moisturised and smooth during this cold weather. I can't comment on anything further such as age spots/wrinkles on hands as I have just started using it but I have high hopes if it is anything like the other products I currently use from Strivectin.SB

My hands could use some help. Particularly bothersome to me are the "sun spots." So I broke down and decided to use this pricey cream. I've been using it for some weeks now but have not noticed any improvement in the appearance of my hands. The texture is nice, it feels good on my hands, but the scent is highly unpleasant. There are plenty of nice hand creams out there, that cost a fraction of this cream's price and also smell nice. This cream does not deliver, and so I won't be ordering it again.eleanora i.

At first I couldn’t decide between this and the Resurrection hand balm — and having tried both I am still conflicted, because I love them both! 🙂 The Resurrection balm is a bit lighter in consistency, and smells a bit more light/citrusy. The Reverence balm is a bit thicker and great for really dry hands especially in winter, and smells more woody. You can’t go wrong with either! And you can definitely mix the two series — right now I am using the Resurrection hand wash and this balm…mimidu

I love all of Aesop's products they're such good quality and so luxurious. I'm very fussy with hand moisturisers, I like them to be very moisturising but not too greasy, and this one fits the bill perfectly, it's amazing. My hands are always left very moisturised, soft and not too greasy at all, it's much more of a silky feel on the hands. It smells amazing too, I would say it's a very woody and masculine scent, one of those that you just can't help but keep going in for another smell. The instructions say to use half a tea spoon but I use closer to a pea size amount and find that it's just the right amount, sometimes if I'm watching TV and don't need to use my hands I will put on more and keep rubbing it in or put a pair of cotton gloves over the top to let it sink in and they come away ridiculously soft for days.Anon2306

If anyone is looking for a premium, very high quality, effective hand cream, this is the one to buy. It does cost a bit more than most on the market but it is very good. The scent is orgasmic! A little bit goes a very long way. I’ve been using this for about a month now after I come home from work and it works very well. It contains Vetiver Root, Pentitgrain and Bergamot Rind. Those three ingredients are very good to have in a moisturizer. Highly recommended. I bought this one on Amazon. It comes in a 2.7 oz tube.anthony.i

Caudalie hand cream is just lovely, so creamy and moisturising but it doesn't feel greasy; the cream absorbs well. This bauble is great value at the sale price particularly and makes an ideal gift, although I have purchased two of these previously and love them for the different 'flavours'. The fragrance is subtle and makes your hands feel special. Perfect size for popping in a hand bag or for taking away. I will be buying again especially at the reduced price.Josey

I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my daughter for Christmas when I went to visit her, and thought I'd try 1 for the first time while I was there. It smells so good, and left my hands super soft! These hand creams nourish, protect, and repair hands. They're enriched with grape seed oil, and helps to strengthen nails! They are vegan, and made with no animal ingredients, and not tested on animals, and is safe for the environment! The Rose De Vigne, of course has a light rose scent. The Creme Gourmande has notes of orange blossom and orange wood, and The Des Vignes has the delicate scent of white musk, neroli, and ginger. All 3 smell amazing, yet delicate! If your hands need some TLC, and you also like a nice, light scent, and/or use vegan products, I recommend this for you! A nice trio set!darlene.c

I love caudalie and was surprised that I found this product to my extreme disliking. I do not recommend this product because it first of all has a strong, suffocating smell, in my experience (like an overwhelming perfume). And, it created a burning sensation on my hands. I wash my hands often and have sensitive skin. This product managed to thoroughly irritate those conditions. I'd assume that many folks wanting a hand cream have some sort of dryness. So, I just wished they created something that would be without such strong scent or whatever it was that led to irritation. I purchased several as gifts and returned what I could when I tried my own supply. Unfortunately, I had shipped a care package to one of pregnant friends; this product was included. She couldn't tolerate the smell:(. Anyway, I do not recommend based on my experience.loveyall

For people who are wondering what's the difference between the old formula and the new formula, here is what I found: New Formula: – Rapeseed and linseed seed extract has switched places on the ingredient list. Rapeseed is higher up on the ingredients list. – Argania Spinosa Kernel oil (new) has been added – More Coconut oil (existing) has been added – Honey, Sweet Almond, and Althaea Officinalis Root extract has been removed – Urea has been removed (it's a star ingredient) – Some minor differences with the preservatives (no biggie) Due to the removal of ingredients and the addition of more oils in the hand cream, it is definitely much greasier and runny compared to the previous formula. If you don't mind having an oil-based hand cream, this would be okay. But every reformulation of a popular product is usually a step backward… I'm sticking with the old formulation and will be looking toward buying a hand cream packed with better moisturising ingredients. Really wish they didn't reformulate it. Don't fix what isn't broken. I hope they don't reformulate the almond range or else I am done with Loccitane. The extracts are what makes it good.Casandra

I’ve received 3 deluxe samples of this product in GWPs over the last few months. I wanted to love this hand crème because of other products I’ve used from this brand. It does nice on my hands and does create a protective barrier, but I’m constantly having to reapply it to maintain moisture. It has 20% shea butter, so I figured it would last more than 30 minutes (or one hand-washing session)—it does neither for me. You can see in the photo that my hand is still particularly dry and that was after using this for several days. I went through all 3 deluxe samples. It retails for $29USD for a 5.2oz tube, which *is* a fairly large tube.. but I’d much rather pay $10 for a 3.3oz tube for a different brand that creates a moisturizing, protectant barrier that lasts longer, works better for my hands, and have the ability to choose which a scent. I’d recommend this brand to those who aren’t constantly using their hands.. but if your lifestyle causes you to use your hands all the time, I’d suggest giving other brands a try as well.amanda.f

When I first got this I was really put off by the texture. It was too thick, hard to apply and it’d take a while to be absorbed by the skin. It then occurred me to stop by a L‘Occitane store and ask for a sample of it. Indeed, what I got from Sephora is far from the real deal. Either Sephora got a bad batch of this or it wasn’t stored adequately or something, but what I received is definitely not right. If your only option is to buy this online, probably best to skip it, and if you’re buying at a Sephora store be sure to check the texture before purchasing. The sample I got from L‘Occitane is actually quite good and I’d recommend the product if you can it properly.MayaX

This cream penetrates very easily into the skin without leaving a greasy feel. Its delicate fragrance makes the application even more pleasant. I don't have the experience of the effectiveness on dark spots yet because I just bought it. So I will add another review later!Laurence

I have never spent a lot of money on hand creams and questioned myself spending the money on this cream, but it is fantastic and long lasting. I only just received it, so I can speak to whether it helps with age spots, but it feels so luxurious. This would make a great gift.Cheetahfeet

This hand cream works great. The consistency of the cream is thick like a body butter, and more dense than a regular lotion. I like the light scent of cocoa butter and how it is not overbearing. It keeps my hands moisturized without that greasy feeling that other hands creams do. It gives me the right amount of moisture, especially in cold weather. Using this cream has started to heal the dryness and cracks in my hands from working out so I will continue to use it for that purpose. @Palmers #PalmersXInfluenster #PalmersWorksmariano.r

I got this hand cream because, let’s face it, we’re in the era of wash hands, use hand sanitizer, repeat. On top of that, it’s January, and skin just gets super dry during this time of year. The first thing I noticed when I squeezed it out was just how thick it was. This gave me hope, because other lotions are so runny and disappears once it’s applied to the skin. I feel this lotion thoroughly coats the skin and gets into all the tough spots (think knuckles and elbows). If you had any doubt that they use real cocoa butter, I can tell you they do- I smell like a hot fudge sundae after applying it. I love that it feels like it moisturizes then locks in that moisture- my skin feels so much better after I use it. You definitely feel it on your hands after you use it though; it’s not that it’s greasy per se, but you do notice that you used lotion. I feel like I use it every few hours. Definitely glad I got this just in time for dry skin month!uterin79

For years my husband and I have suffered with cracked skin on our hands in the winter. It is usually due to running the furnace in the winter time because it drys all of our skin in general. This occurs particularly on the skin on our fingers, often near the fingernail area. Add to that that we wash our hands many more times a day due to Covid, and the cracked fingers this year are the worst. The cracks are difficult to heal because they are on the curvy part of your finger. I have used regular bandaids, water proof bandaids, and liquid bandaid too. I tried Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Cream which helped some, but switched to Avon Intensive Care Hand Cream because it was more affordable. Then I tried Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula intensive repair for cracked hands. I was hooked from the first couple of days of using it. The smell is great and does not linger on your hands. It rubs in completely. It is like your skin sucks it up leaving them smooth and not greasy at all. I can honestly say that my hands have never felt so smooth. It is reasonably priced, but more importantly were the results. The cracks healed up and both my husband and myself would not be without Palmer’s hand cream again. Great product!Anthcam

Love this hand creme. It is leaves my hands wonderfully soft. Great for my purse. The smell is a nice, clean smell and I love it. I have had compliments on the scent as it lasts a long time. Easy to purchase and we love all of Archipelago's products. We have many, soap, hand wash, candles, personal fragrances!!!Denise A.

I was attracted to Archipelago products for the excellent aesthetic of packaging. Which led me to experience the fragrances. And then to buy several products. I’ve come back for more because all the Archipelago products I’m using live up to the package design which looks so nice, we leave it out on the bathroom counter. The Black Honey hand creme has a light and lovely scent and a creamy texture that leaves absolutely no greasy residue. And the scent is subtle, so it doesn’t hang around for hours, just long enough to enjoy it. The creme is great to apply after a shower or before bedtime—and in the cold winter months, we use it after just about every hand washing because it softens and moisturizes without being greasy. We’re big fans of the Morning Mint line as well!Larry S.

MAKES YOUR HANDS FEEL AMAZING. The scent is not too overpowering, but still smells good! The ingredients are to die for! Best hand cream there is! BUY THIS NOW! Would make an awesome stocking stuffer! OAT HAND CREAM IS THE ONLY CREAM YOU NEED.Hannah M.

Fantastic hand cream! This really works well on lightening the dark spots on my hands, and it works quickly, meaning it only took a few uses to see significant results. Lightweight too, I don't like the heavy creams, so this is such a plus. It absorbs nicely and has taken years off my (51-year-old) hands in a short amount of time. Also it doesn't have a heavy scent or anything that would smell unpleasant like some others. I am impressed with this product and would totally recommend.Minka

I am super picky about the texture of hand creams. Honestly, most creams don't make the cut. This soaks into my skin so nicely and doesn't leave it feeling greasy, sticky, or gross in any way. The best part is that it keeps my hands feeling moisturized long after applying it on my very dry skin. A little goes a long way!Kate S.

I have really enjoyed this hand lotion. It smells wonderful, feels silky, provides the perfect amount of moisture without leaving my hands greasy, and it's the perfect size for my purse. I just cannot justify the price, especially since I need two pumps to cover my hands. Wish it were a little cheaper, but I know Osea is a luxury/high end brand.Rudi S.

A fabulously fragrant, velvety and luscious relief for today’s frequently washed hands. I use mine too on aged elbows in need of soothing and smoothing. Caswell Massey has absolutely become my favorite personal products. The very fact that this is from a venerated American company clinches my great administration and respect for their truly superior products.Cynthia P.

The smell reminds me of amaretto, which is one of my favorite scents. It's a little pricey, but a little goes a long way – an amount about the size of a pencil eraser is enough to cover my hands – and it never feels greasy. I bought a tube as a Christmas gift for my husband, and with three people using it multiple times per day, it has last us about five weeks.Gina

I've never tried the hand cream before. I loved it and turned right around and ordered more of the Verbena plus the Lavender. Keeping some and sending some to my friends. The hand cream is softening but not greasy and the smell is wonderful – not overpowering. Will definitely buy again!Martha T.

I’ve been using the body shop since I was a teenager and I’ve always loved their products. I often reach for the body shop when I want something strong scented. The same goes for their hand creams, what i always love about their hand creams is the options you have, they have a bunch of amazing scents and they are the perfect size even for small bags. This scent is more calm, sweet and warm, so I love it for fall!emma.a

I LOVE the body shops hand creams as not only do they moisturise and leave your hands feeling so smooth but they also soak in super quickly. I hate hand creams that just sit on the skin and leave you feeling oily and this does the opposite! It's super light formula soaks in after a few minutes meaning you can continue your day as you please! the tiny tube is very handbag friendly which is super important for myself as i travel a lot.The Almond milk and honey scent is beautiful and very moreish. At only a few pounds per tube it is definitely good value for money! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!meg.c

I bought this when it was buy one get one. I love the body shop hemp hand lotion but needed to change the fragrance. I wash my hands very often and work in agriculture so my hands are constantly dry from work. This goes on much smoother and absorbs quickly unlike the other hand lotion. It leaves my hand smooth and moisturized. The smell is amazing. My only con is the size. It's so small that when I received it I thought it was an ulta sample. And it's also pricey for the amount. Will purchase again when it goes on sale/BOGO again.Abby
