I recieved this hand cream in the 'it's all about you' BBBE. I'd never tried anything from this brand before, but I was expecting it to be pretty fab considering that a 15ml travel size tube retails at $15.
This hand cream is super fast absorbing! I can't remember the last time or if ever i've used any other cream or lotion that's as quickly absorbing as this. I found this meant that I needed to be generous with the amount I used, to ensure that boths hands get a full coating before it's sunken into the skin. It has a soft mandarin scent which is nice if citrus scents are your thing.
My hands feel soothed, softened and smoothed after using this hand cream, but as the 15ml tube doesn't go very far, I didn't notice any other benefits. I assume that you would need to use this hand cream reguarly over an extended period of time to notice any additional benefits that it boasts.
I quite like this hand cream, but I'd never consider purchasing it due to the price.
I got this product in the “It’s All About You” Best Beauty Box Ever. It is the first Dermalogica product I’ve tried, so I was keen to start to learn a bit about the brand.
It is a travel size 15 ml tube with Dermalogica branding and a flip top. Easy to use, which I like.
The product is a reasonably thick white cream. It has a mild scent that is a cross between citrus and cardboard. I really don’t love it.
Once applied on the hands and nails, it absorbs very quickly and leaves a slightly waxy feel that I do like. My hands feel nice afterwards. I really like that it has vitamins and minerals in it.
The product is good but the smell is not. I love hand creams and use tons of them, so have tried many brands, and this one isn’t on top of the list unfortunately. The fact that the 15ml costs $15 is exorbitant and is probably the deciding factor for me. I have to say though, it certainly wouldn't stop me from trying other Dermalogica products, it is clearly a very high end brand.
