Alpine Silk Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Crème Reviews

I loved the smell of this product and I desperately wanted to like it just based on that alone, but unfortunately it was too thin and I didn’t find it moistures my hands at all and the cream just felt like it disappeared

The packaging doesn't really do it for me, but as we know - don't judge a book by its cover!

The cream is a mid-consistency, not too thick nor too runny. Absorbs easily without a greasy after feel.

I've been using for 2 weeks now and am enjoying it very much - my hands feel soft and look much more hydrated.

I think its a well priced hand cream and a great NZ product.

I received this cream as part of a trial team and I have to confess that I did not know much about Lanolin before the trial and would not have considered buying a product with this ingredient. I love that the creme is made in New Zealand and the packaging reflect this in a sophisticated way. The pack size is great for use at home or on the go. The texture of the creme is just perfect, not too thick and sticky, but not thin and runny either, they have really found the perfect sweet spot in my opinion. The creme soaks into the skin fast enough so that you are not left with sticky hands for too long, but its effect on skin moisture is long lasting. The smell is subtle but pleasant, and not "sheepy" as one might imagine from the active ingredient and picture on the packaging. The trial was not long enough to see any lasting effects on skin moisture levels or nails, however I am pretty positive that this is a very effective hand and nail creme. I will definitely continue to buy this in the future for myself and I also think this would make a great gift.

This hand cream is nice and not too thick or sticky at all. It goes on smoothly and soaks into skin quickly. Like their other products it has a subtle scent but I find once rubbed in this is hardly noticable (and I don't like scented hand creams and this one I do like!) It leaves my hands feeling nourished and soft especially in a cold and dry winter. A little goes a long way in my opinion. It is easy to get out of the tube and hand size for in the handbag.

I was lucky enough to be selected by BR to review this product. I really liked this hand and nail cream. The packaging is simple and easy to use. The smell of this product is really nice. I have to admit I was using it more than once a day just so I could sniff it on my hands more than once. I cannot stand hand creams that leave a greasy feel and don't soak in properly but this is not one of those ones! It feels quite thick and luxurious when you apply it but it rubs into my skin nice and quick. I had an incident where I got dishwasher powder stuck under my wedding rings in the week I was trialling this product and had an awful reaction. This product helped to soothe my skin and it was back to normal within a few days. This is a great product that I would repurchase in future.

Great hand cream to gift to a friend overseas or for visitors to New Zealand. This hand cream looks as if it has been designed for the tourism market with the sheep and mountains on the tube. Because of the packaging, I would never normally pick this product up but I have really enjoyed this hand cream.

This hand cream contains lanolin as well as vitamin e to boost skin softness and hydration. Which is certainly does.

The smell is quite strong and perfumy, not bad but not the scent I would normally go for. After a few days of use I got used to this scent and now quite like it.

My hands feel very soft after using this cream and stay that way for ages. Over winter I find that my hands are normally very dry. Mild winter or great cream, who knows, but one thing is for sure I don't have the scaly dry hands I normally do at this time of year!

I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a hand cream.

I enjoyed the fragrance of this hand cream, it was a bit floral to me but not overpowering. It was nice and thick and went on my hands easily, however it seems to disappear pretty quickly compared to my usual hand cream. It did not have any lasting effects unfortunately.q

Alpine Silk's Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Creme has come at the perfect time for me to trial. I work in a hospital and have to use sanitiser on my hands numerous times a day, so often find myself with dry hands and cuticles. This hand cream comes in a generous sized tube. The formula is a moderate lotion, not too heavy. I found at first it seemed like I applied too much, but my dry skin pretty much drinks it in and it absorbs really quickly. My skin was left feeling soft to touch but not greasy, and if you just touched it you probably wouldn't be able to tell I had just used hand cream but instead just had soft skin.

It has a light fragrance added to it which is pleasant and would appeal to most people. I would happily use this again as it's a very nice hand cream and it's very affordable, as well as being a New Zealand made product which is always a bonus.

I was really excited to give this hand and nail creme a try because mine get so dry in this awful cold weather.

Its a really nice texture, not to thick and gluggy. You know the type that leaves a kind of waxy residue on your hand afterwards - it wasn't like that. So texture was great for me.

Scent was pleasant. Not typically my type of scent, a bit too floral and intense but it was okay. It did linger for quite a while, which would be great if it was something you really liked, but not for me.

I love that it is organic, and has lanolin and vitamin E in its ingredients. Love being able to use natural things and that it is paraben free. These things are really important to me so it definitely plays a part in if I would purchase it again.

I feel like the packaging makes it look like a tourist product and one that would be overpriced for what it is. I'm not sure if it is the strange sheep or the snowy mountain ranges on the label, but I don't like it. I feel like this is something you would purchase from a souvenir store.

Great that its made in New Zealand - love to support local businesses, but unfortunately this one wasn't for me.

I only managed to use this a couple of times before my partner stole it for himself. I found it nice and smooth to use, and the smell wasn’t too bad, quite plain... but I don’t like anything overly perfumes so this was good for me! My partner is a digger operator, and gets covered in mud and dust. He has very dry scaly hands, and he has found this works great for him! He’s mentioned there is a filmy feeling for hours afterward, but he’s happy with the softening of his hands :)
