I bought this cream as I've never used it before and I had to at least say that I once owned one of these tins! So I can now tick that box off my list. There are many uses for this product (as I found out through reading an article here on beauty review), but I use this as a simple moisturiser, mostly a hand and nail cream. This cream is very hydrating and moisturising. I find it's great for moisturising dry hands and cuticles.
The consistency of this cream is quite thick, like a body butter. Therefore it's probably not suitable for an all over body lotion type thing. However, despite being thick, it did find the cream was easy to apply and run into my skin.
I found the texture to be quite oily, so it leaves an oily residue on your skin before it gets absorbed. It takes about 5 minutes for the cream to be absorbed into your skin.
This cream has a very traditional powdery sort of smell to it. It's not strong but not a faint smell. The version I have is a tin but this how comes in a container with a screw lid. I do find that over time my lid on the kid has started to come loose and occasionally pops off.
Overall this cream is great. I will continue to use it as a hand cream in my handbag. I'm not sure if I would purchase this again as don't think it's as versatile as its made out to be.
Always have loved this product, not once has it done me wrong, I have dry skin so apply product on a daily basis, it has a kind of heavy consistency though which is abit of a downfall, other then that always loved the product and will continue to use.
