Editor’s Choice

Domix Green Professional

The main task of this cream is to provide moisture and nourishment to the delicate skin of the hands. Contains keratin, tea tree oil and silver. The first two components deeply nourish the skin and promote the healing of minor wounds, while silver blocks the growth of bacteria. The cream has a light texture that is well absorbed and does not leave a greasy layer. However, the girls noticed that a drop of cream was missing. To get the effect, you need to squeeze out more. This cream can also be used for nails – they become elastic and acquire a healthy shine. It has a very pleasant and light fragrance.

Ranking of the top 10 nourishing creams according to KP

1. Shiseido Advanced Essential Energy

Opens the rating cream from the Shiseido brand. Camellia oils, extracts of rice, cherry and Japanese Sophora are responsible for nutrition and hydration. Glycerin retains moisture on the surface of the skin: it is in 2nd place in the composition, so hydration is at the proper level. Customers are advised to apply before bed, although the texture is not thick, maximum nutrition occurs when the hands are in a calm state and are not wetted with water (daytime dishwashing, washing hands in the office wash off the protective film). Ideal for the autumn-winter season.

Like all luxury cosmetics, it smells subtle and subtle, but pleasant. Means in a stylish tube, for application you need literally 1 pea. The manufacturer recommends self-massage – for better absorption and a pleasant feeling after application!

Collagen is generally necessary for anti-age care! In general, we recommend a cream from a professional brand for the winter. Although the “fly in the ointment” is still in the form of parabens and alcohol. But we must pay tribute, they are in the last places in the composition (that is,% is minimal).

Cream in a wide jar, this is enough for a long time. Spatulas are not provided, you have to scoop with your fingers – unhygienic, this is a minus. But there are no restrictions on skin type, suitable for all family members. The manufacturer recommends paying special attention to nails and cuticles. So your hands will be well-groomed all winter!

6. Farmstay Tropical Fruit Mango & Shea butter

The aroma of this cream will not leave anyone indifferent. It smells like yogurt with mango pieces, very appetizing – that’s what the girls write about it. However, such a pungent smell may not be to someone’s liking. The consistency of the cream is thick, but at the same time light and non-greasy, it does not leave a film, it is absorbed instantly. This is a huge plus. The composition of the cream is clean, without parabens, the price is affordable, and the packaging is very convenient.

The two leading components in this cream will give you nourished and soft hands. Namely, allantoin and glycerin. The first is known for its healing properties, which means you can forget about small cracks in the skin. The cream is especially relevant in winter. The second – glycerin – protects the hands, enveloping them with an invisible film. According to reviews, the cream deeply nourishes and restores even the driest hands, does not leave greasy marks. The effect is visible after the first application.

Advantages and disadvantages:

8. Velvet Handles Nutritious

The composition of this nourishing cream is enhanced with hyaluronic acid – due to this, the hands are not only velvety, but also moisturized. Vitamin E restores skin elasticity. Glycerin prevents moisture from evaporating. But, alas, there are many chemical components in the composition – the same parabens give a false effect of softness, after washing off, the feeling of saturation and nourishment of the skin may disappear.

Based on customer reviews, we safely recommend the product for all skin types. The texture is not greasy, but not liquid: everyone will like it. The manufacturer advises to use as needed, without getting carried away. Then the balance of the skin is normal, and the consumption of the cream is optimal. If necessary, it can be applied to the skin of the elbows and the whole body without contraindications. There is no pronounced fragrance – feel free to use your favorite smells. Suitable for the beginning of autumn, in winter you will need a more saturated composition.

Advantages and disadvantages:

9. Cream Butter Cafemimi

Why is Cafemimi’s Butter Good? It has a dense texture, but nevertheless, the composition is very saturated with oils – here shea (shea) is intertwined with glycerin, panthenol, neroli and lemongrass oils. Parabens were not found, but customers warn in reviews about the “wax effect”. When applied, the cream quickly turns into a kind of film. The manufacturer recommends using the product at night so that there are no inconveniences during the day.

Due to acids and the same lemongrass, the cream has a pleasant citrus smell. The fragrance is weak, so the main aroma of cosmetics will not interrupt. The volume is not enough, but if you choose a cream on the road – that’s it. The tube is compact, the lid tightly twists, the hole itself is small (it is convenient to control the extrusion). Be careful with irritation, a lot of acids can affect the skin (pinching the first time after application).

Advantages and disadvantages:

10. ECO Laboratories

This inexpensive cream contains shea (shea) and marigold butter, a complex of vitamins A, E and F, aloe extract – all this is required for hands in the autumn-winter period, when the skin suffers from a lack of nutrition. Be careful with retinol (vitamin A) – if you are pregnant, consult your doctor or completely postpone the cream until another period of life.

The tool is unusually packaged, it looks like a tube of paint. Thick texture, however, absorbs quickly. We warn you right away – the aroma is exotic, it is better to test it before buying. Customers praise the cream for saturation, but complain about the short-lived moisturizing effect. If you want to saturate the skin with moisture, you should choose another tool.
