I love a good hand cream and this one is a pretty decent one. It is moisturising and has a pretty nice scent. It is no overwhelming and is quite a fresh scent. The only problem for me is that is claims to have green tea extract but it is very low in the ingredients list. It is a large tube as well Which will last a long time but also a bit heavy in the handbag.

Tips: Do not apply too generously, instead apply more frequently. Keep it at the bedside or office desk instead of in the handbag because it is quite big
Couple of things I really liked about the hand and nail cream, one that it didn’t smell overly synthetic and chemically, and two the texture. It’s thicker than some creams I’ve used before and I liked the thicker texture as it seemed to hang around and make your hands feel moisturised for longer than thinner creams which seem to evaporate. I also liked that the lid on the tube was quite secure which might seem an odd thing to comment on but I like to throw a hand moisturiser in my work bag so if my hands get dry working all day I’m aircon I have one on hand but I don’t want a container that’s going to pop open or leak. Downsides for me were the black coloured tube (harder to find in the hand bag) and it’s too early for me to make a call on whether it made any difference to my nail strength. I think this is a good, solid hand cream though and my hands definitely felt better after using it, and after use they felt soft for longer than I’ve found with other creams.
Tips: Take the time to work it in, it’s quite a thick cream so doesn’t just slosh on, also it’s good for massaging your hands with.
This is a really nice product, it has a lovely aloe and avocado scent. It is a nice light formula and is readily absorbed with no sticky feeling after applying, which is important to me. I had super dry hands due to steriod cream I had to use, and revitanail made them so soft so fast, and did not upset my skin in any way. I like the generous amount you get in the tube and the black packaging in a refreshing change from the usual white you find in so many supermarkets, and it looks very nice on my night stand. I will continue to use this product till it's gone, as I really like it and it suits my needs, and I would buy it again. I have already recommended to a friend when she asked me what it was I was using, it gave me a great chance to rave about the product!. over all it gets full marks from me.
Tips: use a good amount
I have really enjoyed using this hand cream over the past week, I can honestly say it is the first hand cream I have used in a while that I have actually been happy with.
It has quite a thick consistency, but soaks into the skin really nicely and doesn't feel greasy at all afterwards, which I absolutely love. It has quite a mild green tea scent that stays on your hands for a little while afterwards but I didn't mind that at all. You definitely do need to reapply it a bit throughout the day but this is the case with pretty much every hand cream I have used. You also don't need too much of the product at once, a little bit goes a long way.
The packaging is fairly standard, a black plastic tube with a cap. I believe it costs about $22, so it definitely feels about what you'd expect for that kind of price. It is also about the average price for a hand cream, so I think it is pretty good for what you'd pay.
I obviously can't speak for any long term results in regard to hands or nails, but it definitely moisturises my hands well and that is the most basic thing you'd expect from a hand cream. I will continue to use it daily and update my review if I notice any other results that are worth posting.
Overall, I would recommend this to a friend. It is a good hand cream for a decent price, and it is also a massive bonus to me that it doesn't leave a greasy finish on the hands once it has been rubbed in. I am also a big fan of the scent, although I know it wouldn't be for everyone.
My number 1 complaint with most hand creams is that they smell WAY too strong! However this one has a pleasant but mild scent - I can't really tell what it's supposed to smell like but it's nice. The cream is quite thick but spreads well and doesn't leave a greasy residue behind. The size of the tube is pretty large which I like, I currently have mine on my desk at work but it would also fit in a handbag. After a few days my hands feel softer, but I don't think I've used it long enough to have an effect on my nails (yet). I also have eczema and this hasn't irritated it at all. Overall a really nice hand cream that I would recommend to anyone.
Tips: Great non-greasy everyday hand cream with mild scent - use often!
This hand/ nail cream has a thick, sticky consistency. Quite hygienic to use as it is a squeeze tube type with a cap. I like the black/matte packaging. It has a strong floral/powdery smell. I have dry skin on my hands. I have only used this for a week at least twice a day and I don’t really see that it has made a difference in giving me stronger nails or softer hands. Upon application, I can certainly feel the moisture on my hands but once it’s absorbed into my skin after about 20 mins , my hand just goes back to its usual feel, not softer just the same. Over the past week, I didn’t see any improvement. The floral smell lingers for a bit longer, about 30-40 mins, but only noticeable when I smell my hands.
I wouldn’t recommend this nor purchase this product.
I love hand creams. Forever graced with dry hands, I always have a tube in my bag.
This hand cream looks sleek in a black tube. At 100mls, it's not my preferred handbag option but I like that it doesn't have a screw top lid.
The consistency is creamy and thick, but I love that it doesn't leave my hands oily. It absorbs fast without any issue and my hands feel SO SOFT after!
The smell is the only thing I'm not a major fan of. I can smell the green tea but it does also smell quite like a floral perfume. While this is great, I don't think it's necessarily needed. Worth noting that I am hypersensitive to smells so this may not be the case for your average hand cream user.
With the benefits, my hands feel instantly softer and I find that this hand cream lasts quite long. I can't speak to the health of my nails as I generally have quite strong nails anyway - also need to use this long-term over a few months to see results, I'm sure.
Overall, it's a lovely hand cream. I prefer to many others I've tried in the past that leave my hands oily or greasy. This definitely makes me want to repurchase again if it weren't priced at $23.99. In my opinion, that's too pricey for a tube of hand cream and the fact that it is only available at select places and not supermarkets.
I will continue to enjoy this until I use this up but wouldn't rush to repurchase based on these factors.
Tips: Best times to apply are right after hand-washing and before bed - a little goes a long way! I like to focus half a pea-sized blob onto my nail beds as the cream will gradually moisturise the rest of my hands as I touch things and rub my hands together.
Years ago after i gave up acrylics and spend more than a year waiting for my nails to return to normal a friend gave me a tub of Revitanail and a few months after my nails grew out beautifully, stronger and better than anything i tried before.
I was pretty stoked when a spot on the trial team was presented to me. A pretty tube with new ingredients made an appearance and I was a bit taken aback with the smell -it is pretty perfumy that had me a bit worried, but my hands and nails were in need of TLC so I gave it a go. I had no reacrion so far, perfumed hand lotions normally amke me itch, but I was lucky so far and no reactio.
Its a nice heavy cream but spreads nicely and easy to work into the cuticles. After a week and a half of use I can report that I have noticed a difference in my hands, they are smoother and my nail regrowth has setlled into a satifying state.
The tube is a bit large but have found by leaving it n y desk, close to myhand sanitser (evil stuff) I could use it often and not forget about it in my hand bag.
I will definately recommend it to anyone who’s hands need some TLC, and defiate bonus after coming of acrylics - just keep on applying it - worthwile buy.
Tips: Little amount on the fingertips to work into the neil beds are key
I am somebody who keeps hand and nail cream on the desk at work. I thought I had a favorite, until now. Since trialing the Revitanail Hand and Nail cream, my nails feel so much stronger. As somebody who bites their nails when stressed or nervous, I have never had strong nails so this is quite an achievement because they're looking so good! There is a light scent to the cream, that doesn't transfer onto your hands so I don't find it over powering at all. It's a thicker consistency than I'm used to in a hand cream, but I like it. My hands were feeling dry and itchy from all the hand sanitizer we've had to start using, but they're already looking and feeling so much better. I am really surprised at how quickly this worked.
Tips: Pop it in your handbag, or keep it somewhere where you'll pop it on without thinking about it. I'll be buying a second tube so I can keep one at home and one at work.
A pleasantly fragranced, rich but non-greasy hand and nail moisturiser. I have very sensitive, eczema prone skin on my hands, and had no problems with using this product, and my hands felt lovely and smooth. Simple design on the container, doesn't really stand out that much. I would definitely consider purchasing this product again, however I am trying to reduce my use of plastics and non-recyclable products, so it would not be my first choice.
