As with some of the other reviewers I got this product cheap at the chemist and was excited that I was getting such a lovely looking product with natural NZ made ingredients. I love the smell and it is a lovely product when you first apply it but it absorbs very quick and doesn't leave my hands feeling moisturised for long. I've been using this for around 3 weeks and my hands are as dry as ever. Did I mention that it smells nice?

Evolu Nourishing Hand and Cuticle Cream Review
Evolu Nourishing Hand and Cuticle Cream The nourishing and healing effects of this intensive, revitalising cream are noticeable and immediate. Key ingredients include extracts of New Zealand's native harakeke, kiwifruit, carrot seed oil and pure vitamin E, which work in synergy to reduce dryness and promote natural cell rejuvenation. The cream is very effective at repairing damage to the cuticle area, and its tangible results of supple and lustrous skin are especially long-lasting. Readily absorbed and non-greasy, with a beautifully subtle, all-natural fragrance.

Tips: Probably best for people with "normal" skin - or else use it as a body lotion.
This was my first natural hand cream. I managed to get a discount on this at the pharmacy and it's a big tube so was happy until I found the formula is super light. I switched to this from Aveeno's Natural Intense Relief and my hands and nails definitely suffered within three days they went from moisturized,hydrated, soft and smooth to dry, itchy, flaky, red, tight and my cuticles were done no favors by using this. In fact, my nail growth slowed down, not something I want. I was really disappointed. It's was also sad because this was my first Evolu product and the ingredient list was good. I only would recommend this product if your hands hardly get dry because the texture of this works best as a body lotion. I definitely won't be buying this for myself or anyone.
Tips: If you did get a tube and were disappointed with it as a hand cream you can re-purpose it as a body lotion. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with dry hands, you can get better hand creams for the price of this one or maybe even less.
I got this from the pharmacy in combination with a few other Evolu products. I love it when I discover products that are NZ made and natural so it was a no-brainer. However, I found that none of the Evolu products do what they say they will. This cream is no exclusion. It feels nice to apply it and it smells really good. But aside from that, I haven't noticed any improvement on my hands. They are dry as ever, even after using this product for 3 weeks, several times daily. Not for me.
I was given this product by my daughter in law. I love hand creams and use them regularly. This one is light and you do not need much. It absorbs easily and has a pleasant fragrance. It is not a heavy hand cream thus not so good for very dry hands. Using it frequently does keep gands feeling great. The tube is a good size and easily fits into my work bag. I find it works effectively when I put the cream in before donning my gardening gloves as the warmth helps the cream absorb deeper. When I wash my hands gate taking off the gloves my skin feels good. I am unsure if it has made a difference to my cuticles. A friend was here today and complained her hands were so dry, tried Evolu, and liked it. About an hour later I asked her if she felt the effect was long term but she said her gands were only a little better. I feel there are other more cost effective products on the market. I like that it is natural and NZ made. I wonder if Evolu could make this product heavier for drier hands.
Tips: Nice to give as a gift for someone to try.
