Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Moisturising & Repair Hand & Nail Crème Reviews

I don't normally buy hand cream, so it was nice to receive this to try out.

My first impression was of a medium textured, unusual smelling cream. My nose is very sensitive and didn't really like the first sniff. Even after 5-10 minutes on my hand, the smell was still quite strong and off putting.

The texture of the cream was nice and it came out of the tube easily without waste. I massaged it onto the back of my hands first, as they are very dry, then applied some more to my palms and fingers. It absorbed quickly into my skin with no greasy after feel. My skin felt smooth and soft to touch pretty soon after application.

Despite not liking the smell, I persisted in using the product right through to the review date. My hands were definitely softer and more hydrated so the product rates highly for achieving those results.

Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to tolerate the smell. It was very pungent to my nose, almost soapy, and for that reason alone I would not use the product again.

This came at a brilliant time as my hands have been extremely dry lately due to the amount of hand washing I have been doing!! The cream felt nice to apply and absorbed pretty quickly. You don't need too much which is a bonus so the tube will last a while. Since using this I have seen and felt a definite improvement in my hands and nails. The only thing that I don't fully like is the smell. It is OK but not one I would class as nice. Overall though, since the product works, I would purchase this again.

Although I generally prefer plant based products, I found the fragrance and texture of this product delightful. It felt nourishing, light and non-greasy. The packaging doesn't suit my tastes, a bit fussy design wise and I'm trying to reduce my use of plastic.

I have been using this Moisturising & Repair Hand & Nail Creme for a week and absolutely love it! It comes in a tube and is sealed, so you know that it is brand new and fresh. It is quite a loose creme and absorbs into the skin very quickly. My hands immediately feel soft and silky without any oily or sticky residue. They recommend using it liberally and as many times throughout the day as required, but I find the effects last longer than other hand creams, so you will not run out as quickly. I have a very strong sense of smell and at first was not impressed with the smell of this creme, but as it warms with your skin, it reveals a faint honey scent which is quite nice. All in all, I think this creme is lovely and definitely recommend it.

My hands taking take quite a knocking around from my job. I found using silk manuaka honey cream that my hands soon started to feel really nice. They soon began to look a lot healther as well. This cream goes everywhere with me now, i will definatly be buying more.

I found the hand cream didnt absorb into my skin very well and left my hands a little oily- it did hydrate though and has a nice fresh scent.

I have used a lot of hand repair creams and this doesn’t disappoint, does exactly what you expect from a hand cream. Creamy and thick in texture a little goes a long way and this absorbs well but also leaves hands and nails soft, I apply before bed and keeps them soft all night. It’s also assisted with the dry hands I have from constantly washing them all day for work and stops the skin cracking that I occasionally get. The honey smell is always a favourite of mine, so for me it smells amazing. I expect to pay a bit more for a repair cream so this is priced accordingly. I would use this again and also this brand of products.

I am the not so proud owner of dry, cracked, painful hands; complete with soft nails prone to breaking- lucky me! And then last year I had twins so my hands are constantly wet from cleaning bottles, high chairs, scrubbing stains etc etc etc... OUCH The Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Moisturising and Repair Hand and Nail Creme arrived in small yellow box and it packaged in a typical tube. I wouldn't say the packaging is particularly eye catching but I was sold on the ingredients- particularly the Manuka honey which is known for it's almost magical healing properties. If anything could save my hands, it would be this . I have been using this hand cream for a week and have tended to use it in the evenings before I go to bed or after doing the dishes. You only need a small amount as it is packed with beautiful, nourishing ingredients such as sweet almond oil and keratin so a little goes a long way. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful smell. It is a not a sickly sweet smell but a perfect blend of almond and honey so is more of a botanical scent. My hands felt immediately quenched after using. After a few days I noticed that the cracks around my knuckles were beginning to heal and were definitely less painful. I must admit I haven't noticed major changes to my nails yet and am excited to see if they are stronger after more use.

I've been lucky enough to trail this the past week and I'm loving it! I have been doing a lot of shop floor work this week and using this I've noticed my nails are t breaking so much while counting stock and and my hands arent getting so dry! My nails seem to look so much healthier in the past wk too.

I'm definitely loving the fact it's also NZ made and will be purchasing it when I run out!
