Evolu Nourishing Hand and Cuticle Cream Review

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 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.
