Neutrogena Hand Cream Review

I bought this after running out of my usual hand moisturiser, which is quite heavy. The feeling wasn't great, but not terrible - my hands were very slippery & a bit greasy afterwards. It seemed really topical, and didn't penetrate into my skin at all. It only lasted for about half and hour, then my hands would be dry again. But it was a cheapie, so no big loss to me or my wallet :)

This has such a good reputation that even though I know I don't like it, I keep going back every couple of years just to see if I've changed my mind - and I never have! I find it hard to massage in and it leaves my hands feeling really greasy and sticky. I actually think it would be better used on dry heels and callused foot skin. I don't like the smell and it makes my skin feel tight after I've applied it. I don't like to bag on a Neutrogena product, but I really don't like this one.

This hand cream, did moisterise my hands but I did not like the smell of it at all. The smell actually irrated my nose so I had to stop using it fullstop.

I feel if it had more of a neutral scent to it, I would of enjoyed this hand cream more.

I've tried this product a few times, mostly because it comes in a handy pocket size that I can take everywhere with me. But the issue I have is that it doesn't absorb into your hands properly! As soon as my hands get hot in the summer the cream makes my hands slick and it basically melts off. I have literally applied this before bed and felt it wash off my hands in the morning - it never absorbed, just sat on the top! Overall, it's good to have in your bag for emergencies but I wouldn't buy the large version, I made the mistake of doing this and it took me forever to use it up!

I found this formula to be very thick so using a little went a long way. However I did not like how difficult it was to distribute through my hands. I felt that it did not absorb fast enough and left my hands feeling greasy for quite awhile after I had applied it.

So I decided to use it on just my cuticles instead as they were very dry, and it worked pretty well and kept them moisturised. Also, I wasn't too fond of the smell.

Overall, I personally would not re-purchase it.

This is a very different kind of hand cream. It has a waxy texture, similar to the silicone glove hand cream from AVON. I prefer my hand moisturisers to be creams! I feel like I can feel this covering my hands, like it does not absorb. Will not buy again, or even use as a freebie!

GREASE. Nice convenient size but I felt like it left my hands slimy and greasy and I had to wipe it off. If there was nothing else around, I'd use it but I wouldn't go out of my way to use it.

I really don't like the way it applies, I'm assuming it's the glycerine. It feels great after and does seem to create a barrier to protect my skin but I hate the feel of it right after application.

I bought this because it was on sale and my hands were awfully dry after work due to the chemicals I work with. It left my hands to greasy to properly grip the steering wheel, and rubbed all over everything I touched for about half an hour, it's horrible and I only used it a few times before throwing it out.

Packing: It comes in a tube and is a good size to have it in your handbag. Price: varies as sometime you can find it in a pharmacy or The Warehouse for under $5. The smell is good too. The cream is a bit greasy, doesn't dry quickly. That's a let down and also it's a temporary fix only. I have to apply it every few hours. It does make my hands soft and smooth though.
