Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Moisturising & Repair Hand & Nail Crème Reviews

Great product, made my hands soft and moisturised, smooths out the look of my hands, even had the girls at work using it too, would definitely recommend.

I'm a sucker for anything honey when it comes to beauty products, especially when it comes to NZ's Manuka honey. The healing benefits of this liquid gold is legendary, so to team it up in a handcream is masterful.

The tube is easy to squeeze and very user-friendly, but IMO, verging just a little on the unattractive side. I think it is the bright yellow colouring - there is so much of it. It takes away from the gorgeous shot of the honey. So, this tube is one that would live in my cupboard rather than be out 'on show' if I was worried about appearances.

The lotion itself is really lovely. It is quite thin for a handcream, but I loved that. It meant that it soaked into my skin quickly, and it didn't leave any kind of greasy feel afterwards. The initial scent when it is first applied is odd, but it soon develops into a gorgeous soft, honey and sweet almond scent that is really pleasant. Nice to drift off to sleep with.

I work with my hands, and am constantly washing them, so I wasn't able to apply during the working day, but I'd apply as soon as I got home and before bed. I'd wake with noticeably softer skin. I will definitely buy this when I run out.

Love the packaging, especially the riflles on the tube giving a 3D effect of the honey dipped stick. The hand creme absorbs easily and doesn't leave your hand feeling oily or sticky afterwards. I had a glowing skin after applying and it really assisted with my dry winter cracked cuticles. Its been in my handbag ever since. Its a good product. As it does what it claims I am willing to put up with the distinct smell of honey that lingers on your hands, as I have never been fond of the honey scent. If you love the smell of honey you will love this product.

I have used a lot of hand repair creams and this doesn’t disappoint, does exactly what you expect from a hand cream. Creamy and thick in texture a little goes a long way and this absorbs well but also leaves hands and nails soft, I apply before bed and keeps them soft all night. It’s also assisted with the dry hands I have from constantly washing them all day for work and stops the skin cracking that I occasionally get. The honey smell is always a favourite of mine, so for me it smells amazing. I expect to pay a bit more for a repair cream so this is priced accordingly. I would use this again and also this brand of products.

I have been using this Moisturising & Repair Hand & Nail Creme for a week and absolutely love it! It comes in a tube and is sealed, so you know that it is brand new and fresh. It is quite a loose creme and absorbs into the skin very quickly. My hands immediately feel soft and silky without any oily or sticky residue. They recommend using it liberally and as many times throughout the day as required, but I find the effects last longer than other hand creams, so you will not run out as quickly. I have a very strong sense of smell and at first was not impressed with the smell of this creme, but as it warms with your skin, it reveals a faint honey scent which is quite nice. All in all, I think this creme is lovely and definitely recommend it.

I tried two products by this company this week - the Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Moisturising & Repair Hand & Nail Creme and the Alpine Silk Manuka Honey Ultra Rejuvenating Serum. I only had one week to trial these two products - a big ask over a short period of time. However, where the Serum surprised me with some obvious improvements, the hand & nail creme did not present me with any surprises.

The hand & nail creme was pleasantly packaged - in a plastic tube: not as eco-friendly as the glass bottle & cardboard box presentation of the serum - however, not a lot of choices for hand cream containment (maybe a glass jar??). The perfume was also pleasant - sweet almond oil and the cream, whilst not thick, was quickly absorbed into the skin and did not lead to sticky prints on phone & notebook screens. However, my hands (dry & with brittle flaky nails) did not show any real improvement after 2-3 daily applications for a week. I will not give up on this product but will continue to the end of the tube to see if my hands look & feel any better but, based on the week's trial, I would not be inclined to purchase this product in the future.

I don't normally buy hand cream, so it was nice to receive this to try out.

My first impression was of a medium textured, unusual smelling cream. My nose is very sensitive and didn't really like the first sniff. Even after 5-10 minutes on my hand, the smell was still quite strong and off putting.

The texture of the cream was nice and it came out of the tube easily without waste. I massaged it onto the back of my hands first, as they are very dry, then applied some more to my palms and fingers. It absorbed quickly into my skin with no greasy after feel. My skin felt smooth and soft to touch pretty soon after application.

Despite not liking the smell, I persisted in using the product right through to the review date. My hands were definitely softer and more hydrated so the product rates highly for achieving those results.

Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to tolerate the smell. It was very pungent to my nose, almost soapy, and for that reason alone I would not use the product again.

The hand creme comes in a squeeze tube with a gorgeous honey picture. The creme is a medium-light texture so be careful when squeezing!

The creme has a strong, rich honey scent and a slight stickiness on initial application; it definitely contains a decent quantity of manuka honey! The smell and stickiness reside after about 30 minutes leaving the moisturized feeling without any greasiness.

My hands are dry and have scrapes and burns so creme has definitely had a good challenge. I have been applying it before bed and once during the day and it seems to be aiding healing.

My hands feel softer and less dry and my nails feel stronger and less prone to breakage.

I am not really someone that likes to use hand cream as most times it leaves an oily heavy residue, but this product is great and gets absorbed by the skin and it smell like honey and almonds. There tends to come a lot of cream out when you press the tube as you only need a little bit at a time. Great handbag size
