L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

This is one of my fav hand cream of all time. Smells wonderful and leaves your hand feeling soft straight after. The cream gets absored quickly too which is always a must in my books as I personally dont like the sticky feeling of rich creams. LOVE

This hand lotion has to be one of the best I have ever used and my hands felt like butter after using, especially my cuticles which I normally have trouble with as I use my hands to write a lot and can get drying around the fingers where the pen rests, but this lotion saw to that, to the point that my pen slipped a lot. The smell of shea butter is not too dissimilar to cocoa which is a bonus to have super soft hands that smell yummy too. The only reason I wouldn't use again is as much as I love it I couldn't justify around $50 for hand cream, I was lucky to try this thanks for being gifted by my mother as she came through duty free last year. Roll on her next trip!

I picked some up duty free for an international plane trip and it was the best purchase I could have made. It has a subtle, refreshing smell that is not overpowering. It is also went on very smoothly without leaving a greasy residue, plus a little went a long way. Expensive stuff, but a great product for your home spa treatment or when you need a little pick me up.

This hand cream is well worth the money. I love it. It may be a bit too thick for people used to thin 'watery' hand creams but this cream is so rich it's like butter. It melts in your hands and is so moisturising. Perfect for daily use or intensive dry skin.

I was given this as a gift and I love it. I didn't find it greasy, a little goes a long way. There used to be a branch in the Meridian in Dunedin and I always used to go and check out these products, my favourite from this brand is the solid Amber perfume, which I adore. I wouldn't buy this again solely based on the price, but its a gorgeous product. 9/10 :-)

I really love this. I discovered it when I was browsing duty free one day and have been using it ever since. It leaves hands soft and smooth and lasts for ages.

I own 7 different hand creams and 4 of them are L'Occitane's. I first received L'Occitane's Cherry Blossom 20ml as a gift 6 years ago and ever since - I bought all of their limited & permanent handcreams. I love the unique texture and amazing floral scents they have- it's thick but it's never sticky or greasy. It absorbs in very quickly leaving your hands soft and moisturised. Just right for your hands.

I was really skeptical about this hand cream as it is very pricey and I have heard mixed things about it. I went into my local L'Occitane and tried the tester then went for a wander around the mall for a couple of hours by the time I was ready to leave my hands still felt great after I had washed them a couple of times tried on shoes etc etc so I went back to get a tube. It is quite concentrated so you don't need much. It smells great, its nice that its not too over-powering which I really like especially with the job I do, my hands are close to peoples face a lot and you don't want the scent to be too offensive. I use this as an over night cuticle cream also and it works great. My partner is a laborer so his hands get a hard time and it is the only cream he has tried that works. Even buy a small tube to give it a go, once you've tried its a must have!

My impressions of this hand cream were that it was luxurious, high quality and expensive.

The hand cream is very moisturising and long lasting in its moisture giving. A lot of hand creams I've encountered don't give a long lasting mositurising feel and need to be reapplied regularly. This one lasts which is good considering the price difference.

The price would be the thing I struggled most with for this hand cream. As a gift it is a wonderful hand cream, but I don't know if I could always justify buying it for myself.

The tube was also interesting. I'm really not a fan of these no frills tubes, I like something more elegant looking and I think L'Occitane could have done a lot more presentation wise.

So all in all a beautiful hand cream.

I have a little one of these that came in a package that my grandmother gave me. She swears by L'Occitane, and what granny says granny knows! Smells divine and leaves my working hands feeling nourished.
