The Aromatherapy Co Hand Cream Review

My first impression of the packaging for The Aromatherapy Co Lavender and Chamomile Handcream was that it was very basic and unappealing. The tube looked like it was an acrylic paint tube that an artist would use. However, I have since realised that the intention was that it was to give the appearance of being simple and possibly natural (but the tube is silver so I am not completely sure). I have found that it is important not to judge a book by its cover though, as I was very impressed by the hand cream itself. I am not overly keen on products that are lavender fragranced and although the initial smell of the handcream on application was very strong, I did like the smell and it became a very subtle scent quite quickly. I loved the rich and thick feel of the handcream on my hands and it really felt like it protected my hands and nourished them. I also liked the thought of the lavender and manuka for healing and preventing scarring. I would definitely buy the product myself, as well as buy it as a gift for someone else.

The Aromatherapy Co Lavender and Wild Camomile packaged arrived and I was quite surprized that they tube was inside another package - although it was plain kraft with another wrapper with the company ect ect I thought was a total waste. The tube itself was a decent size and subtle enough to be sold without the additional packaging. Thick cream that with quite a greasy after feel but did have a devine smell of lavender that was great and calming after a long day. I found it quite a treat late night just before going to bed and smooth,and quite effective treat for my dry hands. It moisturized and soften the skin quite nicely - but I would not recommend it to be used during the day. I did try it on some of my psoriasis spot but it did not make much of a difference. It is quite expensive at $17.95 and a luxury I wont indulge in often - I do think it will make a great gift for that healthy paraben free friends of mine

Loved this handcream! it had a great consistency, nice and thick but not too thick that it wasn't easy to massage in to my hands. The fragrance is quite strong which was fine for me as I love the smell of lavender but I did get some comments from work colleagues when I was using it that they thought it was really really strong. You didn't really need too much for it cover all your hands effectively, just a wee splodge. My hands feel great after using it, I can get skin issues from time to time but I found this was really good at keeping my hands feel soft and not dry. Price wise it's probably around what I would normally pay for a good handcream, perhaps not an everyday one though as I tend to moisturise my hands a lot! It's certainly value for money as a little does go a long way. I would definitely recommend to friends to have in their beauty bag.

I was sent this to try out. As my skin suffers from all sorts of eczema, and the product said that it has extracts that helps with eczema, I was excited to see what it would do. I used it several times a day. The texture is quite smooth and feels quite moisturising, my hands definitely has a shiny look after applying but not greasy. The smell is quite strong, if you love lavender then you would like the smell of this product. After using this for a week unfortunately I don't see an improvement in my skin, my fingers still peel but definitely didn't make my skin worse. For what it is I probably wouldn't jump to buy a 2nd bottle but I'm happy continuing with applying this product on my skin.

Loved this hand cream. Was easily absorbed into the hands and made them feel, soft, smooth and smelt divine. Hands still felt quite smooth and soft at the end of a long day!Quite a thick hand cream so a little goes a long way so the tube will no doubt last a long time!

First impressions, plain simple packaging. I like the thick and creamy consistency. A little goes a long way, which is great. Great because it has a non greasy feel and absorbs nicely into your skin. Definitely moisturised your hands leaving them feeling so soft. Not a fan of the smell though, was pretty intense and during the day I felt like it was the only thing I could smell which was a bit sickening.

The aromatherapy co lavender and wild chamomile handcream is absolutely beautiful.absorbs well and smells just like lavender. Leaves hands feeling really good and not greasy or oily.have had a couple of friends over who have picked it up and tried it. One even said they will buy it for themselves.

I have been using this product for over a year now and really enjoy using it. I get very dry hands and use this product 2-3 times daily to keep them hydrated and happy. The smell is delicious and not over the top. The consistency of the product is also really good, slightly oily but because my hands get so dry it isn't a problem.

Loved the smell of this! i couldnt get enough of it, it didnt last as long as i thought it would because i kept applying because i found the scent invigorating, soothing and relaxing all at the same. unfortunately though i did not find that really did a heck of lot besides smell nice, but i do have SUPER dry hands that are also very sensitive. the formula wasnt as thick as i was hoping but it did soak in quick. i would like to say i would buy it again, but for the price i would be better to get an essential oil for the smell. i still recommend this product though as i feel its my bad skin that doesnt bring oout the best in this amazing cream!!
