As with some of the other reviewers I got this product cheap at the chemist and was excited that I was getting such a lovely looking product with natural NZ made ingredients. I love the smell and it is a lovely product when you first apply it but it absorbs very quick and doesn't leave my hands feeling moisturised for long. I've been using this for around 3 weeks and my hands are as dry as ever. Did I mention that it smells nice?

Evolu Nourishing Hand and Cuticle Cream Review
Evolu Nourishing Hand and Cuticle Cream The nourishing and healing effects of this intensive, revitalising cream are noticeable and immediate. Key ingredients include extracts of New Zealand's native harakeke, kiwifruit, carrot seed oil and pure vitamin E, which work in synergy to reduce dryness and promote natural cell rejuvenation. The cream is very effective at repairing damage to the cuticle area, and its tangible results of supple and lustrous skin are especially long-lasting. Readily absorbed and non-greasy, with a beautifully subtle, all-natural fragrance.

Tips: Probably best for people with "normal" skin - or else use it as a body lotion.
This hand cream smells lovely and natural, and the packaging is very pretty.
I love the natural ingredients and the fact that it is made here in New Zealand.
It feels very nice when I first apply it to my hands but unfortunately it is just not thick and nourishing enough for my dry prone hands and I need to reapply it quite quickly.
Tips: If you have very dry hands then I personally do not think this will be rich enough for you.
I recently purchased this hand cream at my local pharmacy. I only got it because it was on special and sounded nice. I suffer from dry skin on my hands as well as a form of dermatitis. This hand cream is amazing to use the texture feels luxurious and creamy without feeling too heavy. This has improve the condition of my skin immensely and a little goes a long way meaning it is very cost effective. This is now a handbag must have for me.
I was given this product by my daughter in law. I love hand creams and use them regularly. This one is light and you do not need much. It absorbs easily and has a pleasant fragrance. It is not a heavy hand cream thus not so good for very dry hands. Using it frequently does keep gands feeling great. The tube is a good size and easily fits into my work bag. I find it works effectively when I put the cream in before donning my gardening gloves as the warmth helps the cream absorb deeper. When I wash my hands gate taking off the gloves my skin feels good. I am unsure if it has made a difference to my cuticles. A friend was here today and complained her hands were so dry, tried Evolu, and liked it. About an hour later I asked her if she felt the effect was long term but she said her gands were only a little better. I feel there are other more cost effective products on the market. I like that it is natural and NZ made. I wonder if Evolu could make this product heavier for drier hands.
Tips: Nice to give as a gift for someone to try.
I was a bit dissapointed with this hand cream. I do try to support New Zealand companies when I can. I use a lot of hand cream as I wash my hands a lot during the day so I need a decent hand cream.
This one comes in an attractive tube with a pleasant subtle fragrance. It is a creamy consistency which is not too heavy but just dosent seem to nourish or make my hands feel any benefit from it.
Tips: Maybe try a tester in the store before you purchase.
This product is very similar to the other Evolu products. It is a thick white cream, and has a similar but slightly more offensive scent to it.
It does absorb quickly into my skin and leaves a soft waxy feel to my skin. I particularly like the waxy feel as it makes me think it is protecting my skin. It really is a nice feel.
I would struggle to repurchase this hand cream simply because of the scent. I like nicely fragranced hand creams as a general rule. This is something I would apply under gloves to moisturise my skin then I don't have to deal with the smell. It is very softening on my nails. It is readily absorbed and non-greasy, as it claims to be
It's ok, and it does what it says it will do, but the 'beautifully subtle, all-natural fragrance' is not for me.
Tips: .
I received a sample of Evolu Nourishing Hand Cream in the Evolu Travel tower. This hand cream instantly softens and nourishes dry skin, helping to reduce signs of excess dryness, both on the hands and around the cuticle area.
This delicately fragranced white cream is readily absorbed with absolutely no greasiness, and leaves an almost powdery feel on the skin, which is wonderful.
It contains Harakeke (common flax), Carrot Seed, Kiwifruit, Avocado Oil, and pure Vitamin E, all ingredients that help to soften skin and reduce dryness, and it feels wonderful when massaged over the nails and into the cuticle area. If used on a daily basis, it eliminates the need for a separate specific cuticle nourishing product (like a cuticle oil). I'd definitely buy a full sized tube of this lovely hand cream.
Tips: Comparing this to Evolu Ultimate Goodness Hand Cream, I prefer the Ultimate Goodness over the Nourishing one.
My favorite hand cream at the moment- Nourishing Hand+Cuticle Cream from Evolu.
Made with harakeke, kiwifruit, carrot seed oil and pure vitamin E, the cream is designed to ease the dryness and repair damage to the cuticle area.
The texture is lightweight, more lotion type and absorbs well. The scent is subtle and nice, can't figure out what it smells like, but more herbal scent.
It does a good job at nourishing hands but those whose hands are extra dry, should apply more amount of the product because consistency isn't that rich.
But overall it's perfect to keep hands soft and protected during the day.
I purchased this for three reasons, No 1. The pharmacy was selling it at a bargain price of $10. No 2. The size of the tube was decent enough and No 3. I really liked the the fact it is NZ made and all the ingredients sounded kiwi and were different to what I have ever used in a hand cream. The consistency of the cream itself is smooth. It spreads and absorbs well enough. So despite all the reasons I purchased it, I can't really say it's the best hand cream I have used in fact the hydration was quite minimal for me. It's not greasy nor does it leave a heavy residue and it hardly has a smell. I have been using it for about three weeks now on and off during the day at work where I am washing my hands on a regular basis and therefore they need nourishing and hydration. This product just didn't stay on long enough to actually do what it claims, like repairing. In my situation I probably need more of a barrier cream which this cream definitely is not nor does it claim to be. So for the size and the price it's an average hand creme and I just haven't noticed any improvement in my cuticles or skin, needless to say my skin hasn't got worse either; it just hasn't changed for the better. Not sure if I like the packaging that much but the name "Evolu", is creative. It does hang out in my hand bag but I don't think I will be purchasing it again anytime soon, but that's not to say it won't suit other skin types ( I am a little on the dry side). I experienced no adverse reactions ( which my dry skin can tend to do) so that's a little bonus in the products defence.
Tips: Give it a go I say. Some stores have testers you can try. A NZ product using NZ ingredients is worth trying and supporting.
I love Evolu products, not only because they are so natural they also always smell amazing. This hand cream is amazing, when you put it on your hands you feel it sink in stright away. It glides on your hands and leaves them feeling and looking amazing. I have noticed a real improvment around my cuticle's they are not so dry. I also love the fact that this is a New Zealand product and it is really natural. The package could do with abit more brightness, however the green makes it look fresh and gives off that natural look.
