I received this as a gift - I personally would not spend this much money on a 50ml tube of hand cream. In saying that, this does last as not alot is needed to spread all over your hands.
The product is slightly more thicker than your average hand cream but what I love about it it feels super soft - it is real easy to rub in. Because of its thickness I wouldnt wear this during summer, it would be too heavy and make your hands feel caked! So this is perfect for dry hands.
The smell you will either love or hate which I have found with a few of dr hauschka products - its VERY organic - I like it though.
I received sample packs of these in my Goodiebox subscription box. I can't comment on the packaging as it came in foil sample size but the product I can review. This is amazing the scent is a lemon vitamin c scent really nice and fresh. Upon application instantly you feel the difference between this cream and other hand creams it's not oily slippery and sleek. It starts absorbing instantly and that is great the results are instant your hands are rehydrated and glowing all dryness is eliminated just by one application. It's long wearing so your hands do stay moist all day and even with washing hands it doesn't wash off with the first hand wash which is great I comparison to other hand creams that withstand any water and just come right off and you're left with dry hands again . This is not the case for this cream. It is nourishing,refreshing,moisturizing and light. Although it's a excellent hand cream and made from organic ingredients and cruelty free the price is hefty and I wouldn't readily afford it. I would have to purchase it and go without. Really not suitable on a single mum of 3 children tight budget. $40 seems very pricey but it does do as it states. So basically a great hand cream the price is just not so great.
