Antipodes Joyful Hand and Body Cream

This hand cream is a gorgeous treat. I got given it as a gift but it was on my wishlist for a long time, I just couldn't justify spending $40 on it. I know it says that it is a body cream too but I wouldn't recommend using it as that as you will go through the tube very quickly, I just use it as a hand cream. Whenever I apply it I literally cannot stop smelling my hands, it is a mouth watering berry fragrance that has you dreaming of tropical holidays. I really like the packaging, I hate moisturisers/hand creams with flip top lids that are hard to grasp once you have product on your hands. This tube is easy to use and the cap just screws on and off.

The only downside I have with this product is that it isn't as nourishing as I thought it would be. If you have very dry skin this isn't the product for you. Having said that it does absorb very quickly and doesn't leave your hands feeling greasy so it is great to use while you are at work/sitting at a desk.

I was pleasantly surprised after using this as I had previously tried the other antipodes hand cream and really was not a fan! This one however has a beautiful berry smell and feels lovely on as its non-greasy yet moisterising at the same time. The only thing that lets it done is the packaging I feel because it dents really easily and you can't get as much out of the tube as you did when Antipodes was previously using plastic tubes. Maybe they are better for the environment? But I've noticed this type of packaging doesnt travel as well.

I got this cream as a freebie and went back to purchase more products so that I could receive another one! Looking at the packaging, its visually attractive and you can squeeze absolutely the last drop out of it because of the tube. It feels wonderfully silky on your skin and sinks in straight away , leaving no oily residue on your skin at all. It leaves me feeling pampered for ages afterwards as that lovely nourishing feeling really does linger. The smell is heavenly and an instant pick me up for me :) I will definitely pay full price for this once the ones I have are finished.

This is my go-to hand moisturizer! it has such a beautiful fragrance and makes my hands feel silky smooth. It is quite expensive, but you only need a tiny bit and it lasts so long. I find that the packing stays clean, the product doesn't have gunk at the top. I don't really like the packing, I think it would be better in some kind of bottle, although the packing is durable and a pretty colour and it is very easy to carry around in my toiletries bag or handbag.

With the flash rosy pink packaging and the fragrance to die for, I instantly fell in love with it the first time I used it. This cream smells amazing. This is the best smelling hand and body cream ever. It smells like berries and blackcurrant and I like to apply it several times a day, not because I need moisturization but I just love the smell. Small quantity of the cream is enough as it spreads very easily on the skin. I found the tube lasted for a couple of months. The consistency of the cream is very thick and rich but still when applied, it doesn't feel greasy or sticky or leave any oily residue. I like its packaging (aluminium tubes and not plastic) as I think its very environment friendly. I recommend everyone to try this shiny pink delightful treat! :)

I got this hand cream in the Karizma Wellbeing Mother's Day Special. The hand cream right from the first use makes hand feel soft and smooth. Like any hand cream however you do need to apply it more than once during the day to feel that way all day.

I also really loved the smell. It was really interesting that from further away the berry smell was strong and up close the hibiscus smell was strong.

It is an absolutely lovely, natural and non-chemical feeling hand cream. This brand is also organic and made in Wellington which is awesome.

The packaging was also interesting being more metal compared to the usual plastics. I'm not sure if I liked it but I did like that they were doing something a bit different.

When I finish this tube of hand cream I hope to buy another one. I really like this one, but I'm also quite keen to try the rest of the range.

I got this hand cream as a free gift from fly buys. I have started using hand cream a lot recently because I work in a clothing store that has wool items which dries out my hands and this is amazing. It makes my hands feels soft and moisturised without a greasy feel. It smells quite strong but its a nice berry smell so its all good. The tube is rather large and seems to be lasting a long time as a little goes a long way.

I really like this hand and body cream, firstly because of the devine smell of blackcurrant and hibiscus flower. Also because it is so rich and creamy, it feels like a real treat to put it on my skin and my dry legs just soak it up. While it is super moisturising with avocado oil, it doesn't leave a greasy residue. The only thing I don't like is the packaging, it's ok at the start but as you get through it it's not nice to have to squeeze the hard metal tube.

I first discovered this hand cream when I smelt this incredible, rich aroma when visiting my sister. She kindly lent me some Antipodes Joyful Hand and Body Cream so I would stop sniffing her! If I had to describe this moisturiser in one word, it would be luscious. It is packed full of Avocado oil for our poor, hard working hands which means it feels very rich and soothing. It takes only a few minutes to sink in and does not leave your hands feeling greasy.

I received this as a freebie and while I have enjoyed it I probably would not buy it again at full price due to the smell, it wasn't bad but for some reason I just didn't really like it.

Personally I enjoyed this moisturizer, I found it very creamy, non-oily and it didn't leave a residue. It did take a minute or two to sink in before I could put clothes on but it wasn't too bad.

The packaging is okay, I prefer pots and pump bottles however this is actually quite travel friendly and doesn't take up much room in a handbag/gym back. I also like the pinky/purply packaging.
