The rich cream is packaged in a 75ml, thick aluminium tube with a plastic octagonal-shaped screw top lid which makes it very easy to grasp and twist, even when your hands are slightly damp after washing them (this shape is apparently also good for people with arthritis or joint problems).
The cream is easily absorbed and a little goes a long way, so the tube with last quite a while, as all you need is a small pea-size amount. The formula of the cream is very nourishing and is quite pleasantly scented, although it does tend to leave an oily sheen on my skin which can feel rather greasy and slippery, if I'm typing on a keyboard.
Because of the slippery feel of this hand cream, I chose to keep it as a "night" cream for my hands and applied it directly before bedtime each night. It works well on dry, cracked elbows, too! Using it at night gives the hand cream time to sink into my skin while I was asleep and it works its magic, leaving me to wake up with beautifully nourished, hydrated hands.
Would I purchase this again? No. I don't have very dry skin on my hands, so I'm not a fan of greasy feeling hand creams.
Would I recommend it? Yes, if you have really dry skin, this cream will help to soften and hydrate problem areas.
I absolutely love this hand cream and usually keep it in my handbag and apply it during the day. I only usually use a small amount, they have a range of beautiful fragrances. Many times people have asked what perfume I am wearing, and I have to tell them its actually my hand cream.
Tips: Only use a small amount, give time to let it absorb into your skin.
