L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

Rich, creamy and smells devine. This is one product that I've repurchased again and again. It hydrates my dry hands especially during the winter. This product contains all the best natural ingredients and vitamin E for the nourishment of your skin. The size of this product is perfect for the handbag.

Super smooth and smells delicious! The Shea Butter, honey and sweet almond all mix well to create an amazing but not over powering scent.

Texturally pleasing balm glides on and absorbs to help heal and protect dry or dehydrated skin. Leaves nails shiny and smooth.

I got a teeny 10ml mini of this in the fabulous L'occitane 2015 advent calendar. It has lived in my handbag ever since. It may be teeny in size but it packs a punch. I love L'occitane hand-creams and this one has 20% Shea butter (twice that of most of their hand creams)

It's a very rich, opaque cream. You only need a tiny sliver to fully moisturise both hands. It sinks in instantly and you can get on with any task straight away without slippery, sticky hands. It has quite a strong scent - a little bit lavender and a little bit something else that I can quite place. It's definitely a smell I would associate with the L'occitane brand. It's how I imagine the south of France smells in summer. Sadly, this is the closest I will get to the south of France in summer for quite sometime!

I do still have to re-apply hand cream throughout the day when I use this so its not my 'holy grail'. I still like to apply something heavier at bed time to moisturise my hands during the night.

I have a small 10ml tube of this creme and I'm really liking it. I have issues (especially right now with the first cold snaps of winter) with dry hands, and cracking skin. But this product is helping my hands get healed up. The main difference I find comparing this hand creme to other cremes which heal my hands just as well is that this formula doesn't cause pain if a bit goes into a cut or a crack - something I'm greatly appreciative of.

This hand creme is thick yet spreads very well, a small amount goes a long way. The creme also sinks in well and fast, so you don't have to worry about it being wasted by rubbing off or being washed off when you wash your hands. Being made with shea butter it does smell like a typical hand lotion with a bit of jasmine to sweeten it.

I quite like the small tin tube, as it is a good size for my bag and I can find it easily because it's shiny.

All in all a very gentle and moisturizing. Only problem is the price of buying a large one.

There's always those handcreams that leave your hands super oily and stains everything it touches, and then there's this. This absorbs quickly, leaves your hands super soft but leaves no oily residue on your skin. The paint-like tube packaging is simply romantic and I wished I had the budget to always buy this!

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 :-)
