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

I have been using the Alpine Silk Manuka Honey moisturising and repair hand and nail creme for a week.

It comes in a tradition looking hand cream tube with a flip top lid. It's easy to tell what the main ingredient is as it features a yellow label with honey being drizzled over a honey comb. Alongside the main ingredient of honey it is also enriched with almond oil, keratin and vitamins A & E.  It has a beautiful light scent of almond oil and the creamy texture is surprisingly non greasy and dries very quickly which means I am more likely to reach for it when I'm in a hurry.

I found the cream very  moisturising on my dish pan hands. My hands normally have dry patches and cracks near the edge of my fingers and palms but this has helped heal and soften my hands.

Yes I recommend this hand cream.

Seriously I hate hand cream - I wish I could be one of those ladies that takes a tube of hand cream out her bag and elegantly massages it into her hands. But I hate sticky hands, I hate oily hands and I am very particular about how my hands smell. Apparently I have been like this since a baby.

So when I didn’t read the invite properly and found out I was getting a hand cream to try too I could hear the groan escape my soul. Too dramatic?

So the tube looks innocent enough. Yellow - my favourite colour. Proclaims New Zealand product - gotta be good right. Manuka Honey - great!

I go in with a small dot expecting all the horrors of creams before but there is none..... the cream is light, just enough oil to moisturise but it absorbs to a lovely feel. I feel like I can safely touch things without leaving visible fingerprints everywhere. And what is that smell? Marzipan? Honey? Who cares it smells yummy but natural and I find myself sniffing my hands from time to time and smiling.

Am I converted to hand creams? Not unless it is this one and ONLY this one!!!!!!!

I love trying new hand creams. I managed to snap this up in the beauty vault. It comes in a squeezy tube with a flip top lid. The packaging is a lovely vibrant yellow in theme with the Manuka honey.

It is a lovely thick consistency, I like to use a good amount then massage it into my hands. It absorbs so well, doesn't leave any tacky or greasy feeling at all. It really relieves my hands, it keeps any dryness at bay and my hands look youthful and soft.

My only gripe with this hand cream is the smell! It really smells horrible and I can't quite place what it reminds me of but I hate it. It does eventually fade away but I really prefer things to smell nice and it is really off putting for me.

Whilst it is a lovely hand cream I suggest you use a tester first if you can and see if you can handle the smell.

I am not really someone that likes to use hand cream as most times it leaves an oily heavy residue, but this product is great and gets absorbed by the skin and it smell like honey and almonds. There tends to come a lot of cream out when you press the tube as you only need a little bit at a time. Great handbag size

Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Moisturising & Repair Hand & Nail Crème is enriched with Sweet Almond Oil, Keratin & Vitamin A & E to help protect & repair your skin.

The Crème is thick and hydrating. It definitely feels moisturizing on the hands. They instantly feel softer and smoother.

However, the first thing that I noticed was the scent of sweet almond oil, it's strong, but also mixed with other scents which muddies the scent.

I haven't seen a change in the cuticles or nails, but will comment below if I do notice a change after using the product for longer.

This does make for a nice gift set with other products in the range like the serum and comes in a standard inverted tube.

Love the packaging, especially the riflles on the tube giving a 3D effect of the honey dipped stick. The hand creme absorbs easily and doesn't leave your hand feeling oily or sticky afterwards. I had a glowing skin after applying and it really assisted with my dry winter cracked cuticles. Its been in my handbag ever since. Its a good product. As it does what it claims I am willing to put up with the distinct smell of honey that lingers on your hands, as I have never been fond of the honey scent. If you love the smell of honey you will love this product.

really nice hand cream. great size to just put in your hand bag and go. I'm a crochet fan, so often keep a bottle on hand lotion in my wool bag, as my hands get really dry with all the yarn passing through them. what I liked about this one was it was lovely and creamy, absorbed well, and left no sticky feeling on my hands that so many other hand lotions do. it left my hands feeling soft for hours afterward, so no need to reapply often. what I didn't like was the smell. I applied the lotion to my hands and asked my 3 teenage children or separate occasions what it smelt like to them, they all said plastic. so if the smell could be improved to smell more honey-like, and less plastic-like, this would be a top product winner for me. I will continue to use it despite the smell, because it does such a good job. would I recommend it to a friend? yes I would.

This is probably THE best hand cream I've ever used!

It absorbs so quickly and doesn't leave a greasy film - there's no desire to wipe your hands on something else to get off the residue!

It makes my hands feel AMAZING instantly and ongoing through the day. It's not a cream I feel the need to reapply through the day, the hydration lasts.

I've noticed a discernible difference in how my hands look and feel.

The only downside is the fragrance which to me is more almonds rather than honey but hey I liked the results all the same!

I am in love with New Zealand products and the Alpine Silk Manuka Honey hand and nail crème is another feather in the hat of this company. It is made in New Zealand, from New Zealand products that contain manuka honey which is high in antioxidants and anti-bacterial properties which help to moisturize and soften the skin. My nails and hands get very dry and crack during the winter with the cold weather and artificial heating. I was delighted to receive the Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Moisturizing and Repair Hand & Nail crème to trial. The crème is light and easy to apply without the feeling of it being too heavy or greasy. The scent is delightful, with a soft smell of honey that reminds me of being in fields of summer flowers - it doesn't linger but you know when you have put it on your hands that it smells nice.

The bottle is small enough to pop into my handbag to ensure I have it handy when out and about. The children both have been using it and on to moisturize his dry lips and it has worked wonders in repairing small cracks.

I love to use New Zealand products and support New Zealand companies. It is excellent to see the best products in New Zealand being made available at an affordable price to us. This product is one that I will seek out to ensure we have the best at hand to keep our hands, nails and lips in tip top condition.

I have been using Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Moisturising & Repair Hand & Nail Creme for about a week now. I can see that my nails which used to be quite brittle, is now stronger. I can now grow my nails longer, which I couldn’t previously. I also noticed that my hands which started to have fine lines and dry, now look smoother and not so dry anymore. I’m glad I was chosen to be one of the trial team, because it works for me!
