This was my first natural hand cream. I managed to get a discount on this at the pharmacy and it's a big tube so was happy until I found the formula is super light. I switched to this from Aveeno's Natural Intense Relief and my hands and nails definitely suffered within three days they went from moisturized,hydrated, soft and smooth to dry, itchy, flaky, red, tight and my cuticles were done no favors by using this. In fact, my nail growth slowed down, not something I want. I was really disappointed. It's was also sad because this was my first Evolu product and the ingredient list was good. I only would recommend this product if your hands hardly get dry because the texture of this works best as a body lotion. I definitely won't be buying this for myself or anyone.

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: If you did get a tube and were disappointed with it as a hand cream you can re-purpose it as a body lotion. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with dry hands, you can get better hand creams for the price of this one or maybe even less.
There are two types of hand cream: thick, heavy creams that sit on the skin to heal and protect from serious dryness; and those that are light, easily absorbed creams for keeping skin soft with everyday use. This hand cream is a perfect example of the second type. Basically the Evolu Nourishing Hand and Cuticle Cream is a light, easily absorbed, low fragrance hand cream. It won't deal with seriously dry, cracked skin and it doesn't offer any protection to hands immediately after using it. In this way, this hand cream would be good for someone who moisturises every night or that doesn't like the feel of heavy product on their skin, but for someone like me who uses hand cream on an as-needs basis, it's not heavy enough for serious protection, although it is nice to use.
I purchased this hand cream because I had an Evolu discount voucher, and super dry hands from being out on the farm all day every day. The fragrance was quite pleasant and not overpowering, and the size of the tube was quite large so this did last me a long time. I wouldn't rate this as a product for super dry hands, but is perfectly fine as something to have sitting on your desk for regular use. Probably not something I would bother repurchasing as I usually need something a bit more heavy duty.
I got this from the pharmacy in combination with a few other Evolu products. I love it when I discover products that are NZ made and natural so it was a no-brainer. However, I found that none of the Evolu products do what they say they will. This cream is no exclusion. It feels nice to apply it and it smells really good. But aside from that, I haven't noticed any improvement on my hands. They are dry as ever, even after using this product for 3 weeks, several times daily. Not for me.
