hand creams: reviews

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

I was lucky enough to test a new product from the Kenzo brand – a sensual hand balm. For the first time in my life I tried a cream that surprised me! Do you use a makeup base? The skin after application is matte and silky. We get the same result from this cream. In addition, a divine scent.

The cream is instantly absorbed and creates an invisible film that takes care of the skin of the hands. Ingredients of the product: plant water of rice, which is saturated with many vitamins and softens the skin, Shorea oil acts on skin healing and a protective complex, which was developed by experts from the KenzoKi laboratory.

I will give this product five points out of five. In the coming days I will go for a new tube so that I can use the product not only at my desk, but also at home.

If you were to ask me what the best hand cream is called, I would not hesitate to name the shea hand cream from L’Occitane. I have absolutely no complaints about this product – only positive impressions. The consistency of the product is very thick, one might say, oily. One small pea is enough to thoroughly moisturize the skin of the hands. At the same time, the effect lasts for almost the whole day, even if you wash your hands almost every hour.

Without a doubt, this cream is the best option for winter and frosty autumn. It perfectly heals and softens hands, without leaving a greasy film on the skin. I apply a thicker layer of the product at night: in the morning, the skin is as soft as a baby’s. I love that the product contains most of the natural ingredients: shea butter, sweet almond, jasmine and ylang ylang extracts, as well as vitamin E. For a natural beauty lover like me, this product is a real find. The only drawback can be attributed only to the aroma of the cream: it is quite harsh for me and can sometimes be annoying.

According to the manufacturer, Weleda pomegranate hand cream fights against age-related changes, restores skin cells, prevents the appearance of age spots and moisturizes. At the same time, the description also says that the product is as natural as possible and does not contain petrochemical components.

Unfortunately, I could not appreciate the fight against age, so I will take the manufacturer’s word for it. The cream really moisturizes perfectly. At the same time, at first it seemed to me very light, like thick body milk, so I decided to use it in the morning while getting ready for work. These textures are usually absorbed quickly.

However, it turned out that Weleda pomegranate cream is almost as nourishing and moisturizing as my favorite from L’Occitane with shea butter. True, the effect does not last so long: you want to use the cream several times during the day. But the skin of the hands after it is very soft and nourished – and there is no feeling of stickiness or grease. The aroma of the product is very pleasant and natural: it smells of some kind of fruit. Perhaps this is the aroma that exudes the pomegranate seed oil, declared in the composition. In addition to it, by the way, the list of ingredients contains olive and sunflower oil, millet seed extract, butcher’s root and sunflower petals.

I just adore hand creams: I’ve tried many different brands (from expensive to medium brands), but I still haven’t decided on a favorite.

The product from the French brand Caudalie immediately caught my attention. And the first acquaintance with this product did not disappoint me.

In autumn, the skin of the hands is in dire need of nutrition and, most importantly, moisture. Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream does a pretty good job with these two tasks. The cream moisturizes the skin of the hands, makes it soft and leaves a subtle pleasant scent, in addition, it does not leave a greasy film and is very quickly absorbed. It contains no parabens, phenoxyethanol, genetically modified organisms, synthetic artificial colors, sulfates and other harmful products.

I have known the Swiss brand Swiss Line for a long time, I really like their line of facial products. When I was offered to try the 3D Effect hand cream with the Swiss Line Secret Code of Youth cell complex, I certainly agreed.

This product is part of the Age Intelligence line of products (a series for mature skin) and is perfect for those who have already shown the first signs of skin aging.

The cream has a bright odor and a liquid-like texture, it is not absorbed immediately, but as if envelops the hands with an invisible glove. Even after washing, the cream can still be felt on the hands. I will not say that this is a plus for me.

In addition, I did not notice clear signs of improvement; most likely, the cream is more suitable for mature skin. Perhaps I will give it to my mother, because in the cold season, the skin of the hands needs careful care and moisturizing.

Julia Gaponova, inIssuing editor:

Essie spa manicure intensive hand lotion is part of the line of professional cosmetics that can be used to combine care with a spa procedure.

This intensely moisturizing and revitalizing cream has a pleasant citrus scent with woody notes and bergamot notes. The product has a delicate texture that perfectly softens and nourishes the skin of the hands, hands really look well-groomed, like after a salon procedure. And a convenient dispenser allows you to squeeze out exactly as much cream as you need.

I do not part with this cream, especially in autumn, I always keep the bottle on my desktop.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

Both products are gorgeous, now I will never part with them. I liked using these two products in combination. So, in order about each.

I used hand oil first of all, it is thick in consistency, with large and small particles of ground fruit pits. When applied, it feels like you are distributing honey on your hands. It does not foam at all, so you need to apply it on pre-washed skin. After thoroughly treating the skin of the hands with oil, I washed it off with warm water. The handles become smooth, delicate, velvety, and the sensations from this are indescribable! Exfoliant oil perfectly exfoliates dead skin cells of the hands. The skin feels so pleasant to the touch that it delights you, you want to iron and iron it!

Let’s move on to the cream. With the onset of autumn, like many others, I have such a problem as dry skin. Once it got to the point that even cracks appeared on my hands. It looks and feels very unpleasant.

Having tried Yves Rocher cream, I realized that this fall my hands are under reliable protection. The consistency of the cream is not liquid, not dense and not at all greasy. The smell delighted my husband, as did me.

The first application has already made it clear that I will use the cream again and again. The skin of the hands became soft, and this softness remained for a long time. I also liked that it is quickly absorbed.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

Since my post-Soviet childhood, the name “Herbalife” seems to have become so familiar to everyone that it has become more of a household name. But, as it turned out, I had never come across their products before.

And I can say that the cream is excellent. I was pleased that the composition contained a large amount of aloe gel, which I like to use in its pure form. The cream has a whipped texture, so it is absorbed in just 2 minutes. It’s also nice that he has a very large tube and you can use the cream all over the body.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

When, thanks to our fashion editor, the cream from Kiehl’s materialized on my desk, I immediately did not hesitate to use it, as I love this brand dearly.

Thick, rather dense, with a pleasant herbal scent, the cream perfectly nourishes and restores dry skin of the hands. It is not absorbed very quickly, but for the caring properties I am ready to forgive him for this shortcoming.

Kristina Semina, section editor “Life style“:

Melvita hand cream consists exclusively of natural ingredients – argan oil, shea butter and sunflower oil, as well as beeswax, which regenerate, moisturize and protect the skin. I use hand creams regularly. I tried many products of various brands, but not all of them stayed with me for a long time.

Some seemed to me too bold in texture, from others I did not see the result. I tried Melvita cream for the first time, and after a month of daily use it became my favorite. I like everything about it: the pleasant unobtrusive smell, the instantly absorbing texture, and, of course, the effect that is not much inferior to the paraffin therapy procedure. By the way, in the L’Argan Bio line there is also a body care product. After the hand cream, I plan to get one too.
