Alpine Silk Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Crème Reviews

I was really excited to give this hand and nail creme a try because mine get so dry in this awful cold weather.

Its a really nice texture, not to thick and gluggy. You know the type that leaves a kind of waxy residue on your hand afterwards - it wasn't like that. So texture was great for me.

Scent was pleasant. Not typically my type of scent, a bit too floral and intense but it was okay. It did linger for quite a while, which would be great if it was something you really liked, but not for me.

I love that it is organic, and has lanolin and vitamin E in its ingredients. Love being able to use natural things and that it is paraben free. These things are really important to me so it definitely plays a part in if I would purchase it again.

I feel like the packaging makes it look like a tourist product and one that would be overpriced for what it is. I'm not sure if it is the strange sheep or the snowy mountain ranges on the label, but I don't like it. I feel like this is something you would purchase from a souvenir store.

Great that its made in New Zealand - love to support local businesses, but unfortunately this one wasn't for me.

This is a nice simple hand cream with a pleasant scent that absorbs easily and doesn’t give your hands that greasy feeling you sometimes get with hand creams. Comes in a nice sized tube and is easy to apply. I don’t have particularly dry hands but it has dealt well to the winter dryness that I get. I would say for very dry hands you would want something a bit thicker and richer, or to apply more than daily.

I was so lucky to be invited to trial this product, thank you BR! This product comes in a convenient tube bottle. It also has a picture of a sheep on it which I am not the biggest fan of for my beauty products, but it's not a deal breaker. It's a thin consistency that absorbs after a few minutes and is non greasy. The scent is pleasant, similar to other hand cremes I used, and I do find it to be quite strong and doesn't fade quickly, which I guess can be a good and a bad thing. I'll be honest compared to other hand cremes in the market, this product is good, but still just your typical hand creme. However, what makes this stand out is that it's New Zealand made and paragon free, and so I am likely to buy this product in the future.

This hand cream is lovely. Leaves hand so soft without the sticky residue that comes with some lesser hand creams. My nails feel stronger after using this for a week, too! It's scent is light and quite sweet. I love a nicely scented hand cream, a range with a few options and so probably wouldn't use again. But it would be great if you're not bothered on scent, as this hand cream definitely does what it says it will.

Great hand cream to gift to a friend overseas or for visitors to New Zealand. This hand cream looks as if it has been designed for the tourism market with the sheep and mountains on the tube. Because of the packaging, I would never normally pick this product up but I have really enjoyed this hand cream.

This hand cream contains lanolin as well as vitamin e to boost skin softness and hydration. Which is certainly does.

The smell is quite strong and perfumy, not bad but not the scent I would normally go for. After a few days of use I got used to this scent and now quite like it.

My hands feel very soft after using this cream and stay that way for ages. Over winter I find that my hands are normally very dry. Mild winter or great cream, who knows, but one thing is for sure I don't have the scaly dry hands I normally do at this time of year!

I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a hand cream.

Alpine Silk Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Creme is packaged in a handy 85ml squeeze tube, and promises to hydrate, repair and rejuvenate skin.

The white cream is enriched with NZ certified organic lanolin and Vitamin E.  It has a thin to medium consistency, so it does flow out the tube quite quickly, but this also means that it glides onto skin easily with a smooth feel, and is readily absorbed without too much massaging.  I will admit that I was very skeptical about a hand cream containing lanolin, as I thought it would be greasy.  Thankfully, there is no greasiness and the cream has a lovely floral scent.

Alpine Silk Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Creme does help to hydrate and protect the skin on the hands, improving the look and feel of the skin, as well as preventing the skin around the nails and cuticle from looking ragged and dry.  Lanolin is an excellent natural moisturiser, and it helps to relieve any dryness while forming a protective barrier against the elements.  

Apply this hand and nail cream as often as needed, to help keep hands feeling soft and supple.  Start off with less than you think you need (about a small pea size), you can always add a little more if you need it.

The price is pretty average for a tube of hand cream, however, Alpine Silk's products are difficult to find as they're only stocked in "touristy" type novelty stores.

This cream is lovely smelling, not too strong, and it has a wonderfully silky smooth texture. It definitely makes a difference to your skin on the hands and works perfectly for dry winter skin. The only issue I have with it is that it has a bit of a greasy film on the skin as it doesn’t seem to absorb fast or it could be a protective barrier? I wasn’t a fan of it. Apart from that I would definitely use it again and I would definitely recommend it to family and friends, specially the ones that struggle with dry chapped skin.

This hand cream is a bit of a revelation. The packaging is very 'touristy', its not what I'd usually pick up off the shelves.

It smells of something from my childhood - I still haven't pinpointed what or who, but every time I use it the scent gets me. Its fresh, maybe a hint of aloe coming through?

It works immediately, it absorbs into the skin and doesn't leave an icky greasy feel after. I've been using twice a day and within the week, my dry hands look much improved.

I wish it were paraffin free, but I can't deny it's an effective product so I'll suck it up for the results! I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for it to pick up a second tube.

I love this hand cream! I am really picky on hand cream. They can't be too greasy, they actually have to moisturize my poor dry hands and it has to smell nice. This one ticks all my boxes! I love the floral, lanolin smell, it absorbs really quickly and leaves a nice soft finish on my hands and I've actually noticed an increased quality of softness in my skin! I am really impressed that it does what it promises and will be making this a regular in my life.

This hand cream comes in a plastic flip case tube with a beautiful photo of Aotearoa and a sheep on it. It's a bit big for the handbag but it stands up on my dresser looking very pretty.

The handcream is a nice creamy texture, not too thick but not runny either. It rubs into my skin easily and absorbs quickly. It leaves my hands feeling nice and moisturised but not oily or sticky like some hand creams. I was really excited about the lanolin in it, because I've heard amazing things about skincare with lanolin. And this has definitely lived up to its name. My hands feel well protected from the winter air after applying this and I don't feel the urge to reapply every 10 minutes. This is definitely the type of hand cream that you can apply just before going out and it'll do its job for a good couple hours.

Another thing I love about it is the fragrance, it's like a bunch of wild flowers blooming every time I use it. It's strong and lingers on my skin, but not overpowering at all. In fact, if they made it into a perfume I'd buy it in an instant! Really happy I got to trial this hand cream, I'm going to have to keep an eye out for it in stores because it's definitely something I'd repurchase!
