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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

My hands are quite dry and I frequently wash them. I'm really not as reliable with moisturising my hands as I should be so this was a good opportunity to get back into the habit. I also liked that this is a kiwi product. The moisturiser itself has a nice subtle honey fragrance.; it isn't thick nor greasy and a moderate amount absorbs well. My hands didn't feel particularly moisturised, after use,nor did I notice any marked improvement in either my skin or nails over the course of the trial. Overall I found this to be a nice moisturiser but nothing special.

Nice bright packaging to catch the eyes. Cute gold strip around the top of the tube. Contains keratin and lots of vitamins in a base of sweet almond oil. It's not as nourishing as I was hoping, the consistency is very thin. Its easy to get too much product at once. Once you remember this, it's all good. Very strong fragrance, wasn't my favourite but not unpleasant. Overall not outstanding.

NZ made product. Enriched with Sweet Almond oil, Keratin, Vitamin E & Manuka Honey. It doesn't smell like honey as I expected. More like Lanolin which I am not a fan of. Light cream/lotion consistency. Easily absorbed, good hydration. Serves its purpose. However I really dislike the scent. I will finish it up but won't be repurchasing.

This is very lightweight and goes on easily and dries quickly.

The fragrance is quite strong and not to my liking.

When I first applied this creme it felt fine on my hands however in the night I woke up itching as my skin is very sensitive so I wouldn't use it again but I'm sure it would be great for normal skin.

It comes in a generous sized tube that has a bright yellow design on it.
