I'll admit, I was concerned when I squeezed this product onto my hand as it seemed quite thick and had a Vaseline type texture. Fear not, once I rubbed my hands together it seemed to 'melt' and was easy to smooth over my hands. It also absorbed easily despite an initial glossy appearance on my hands which looked like it may not absorb but this was very temporary. I like that it had no fragrance because you need to let one scent shine and that's usually perfume but with so many fragranced products these days from body moisturiser to deodorant to face cremes it becomes on big floral bouquet so I prefer non-scented. After 4-5 uses my hands definitely felt softer and the more intense moisturise is perfect for winter months when skin is dryer.

Tips: A little goes a long way.
I got to review Cicaplast mains , it contains Niacimide and glycerine and retails at around $15 dollars I like it ,however after applying it my hands feel very hot ,I find it a bit heavy as well .
Is a bit sticky and greasy however this hand cream works! the next day my hands feel softer and less dry , I don't like much the sensation of feeling my hands hot but I can live with that!
if you have very dry hands you should totally give this hand cream a go it would help .
Tips: Apply as often as you need
Received this in the CBBBE. Stand up white tube with black and blue writing highlighting ingredients. Was expecting a cream but has a more creamy gel consistency. Reminds me of a baby's barrier cream or silicone based primer. No scent. Skin feels slightly greasy after applying.
Don't tend to use as much as a standard handcream as this is quite concentrated. I use a thumbnail size amount. have also noticed that I don't need to reapply as often throughout the day. Even after regular handwashing and sanitising.
Overall my hands are less dry and better protected. This is a really good handcream option.
I'm not completely sold on this one, although don't get me wrong, it was really nice but I just didn't find it overly special/ I've tried others similar.
The consistency is really nice, it's quite thick but still easy to get out of the tube, and it glides on really nicely and sort of melts in to your hands. When I first used it I thought that it was going to leave my hands with a sort of greasy film over them but it didn't, so that was great. A little does go a long way with this product, so it would end up lasting a long time. I like that it was also fragrance free, it's a nice change from some of the other overly perfumed hand creams out there. I did find that around my fingers/cuticles was still quite dry which I was hoping this cream would fix, but they haven't seemed to budge too much. I will keep giving this a go though!
Its a great hand cream. I have dry hand and this makes it soft in just one application it also make my nails strong and great looking. The only thing i didnt like its really thick it takes a while to absorb into my hand and makes it a bit sweaty
Tips: Apply at night time its think and make your hand sweaty
