- Packaging -
This hand cream comes in a very deep, deep burgundy coloured tube. The tube, like most sits on the lid, which is flip top. On opening the top there is, unsurprisingly a small hole from which the cream is easily dispensed.
I do however prefer tubs to tubes as you are guaranteed no waste, i.e. you can scrape the last remains of the cream from a tub, more difficult from a tube!

- My experience -
My hands do get quite a raw deal, immersed in very hot water with cleaning products that really aren’t that great for your skin and since I don’t wear rubber gloves to protect them it isn’t just during the winter months that my hands need some pampering!
This is a white, slightly greasy cream with quite a strong perfume based scent so stay away from it if you aren’t partial to scented creams. It definitely wouldn’t smell manly on a bloke! The smell lasts for up to an hour after application.
It is very easy to rub in but be careful not to be tempted to put too much on as it is quite greasy when first applied. The ‘greasy’ feel does however go within a few minutes. Your hands are left feeling extremely soft.
This does not sting when applied to slightly broken skin but since I don't suffer from eczema etc I wouldn't like to say how this would react with that skin condition. It is quite highly perfumed so I can imagine that it wouldn't be great for people with extremely dry skin conditions. For that reason, I think it would be helpful if the manufacturer's perhaps put on whether this cream is helpful for eczema or psoriasis or whether it should be avoided.
Fortunately I don’t have any age spots so can’t comment on whether it improves them. My Mum however is acquiring a few age spots and she swears by this cream!
To the best of my knowledge this doesn't stain clothes, never has with any of mine but I can imagine it's not great to apply whilst wearing silk etc...
- Conclusion -
~ Offers moisturising relief to dry skin. ~ A little goes a long way. ~ Makes my skin feel very soft and supple.
I’m pleased with the way in which this cream moisturises my dry hands. I have given it a 4 star rating based on it's effectiveness for treating my dry hands but it is a little pricey. I will only be replenishing it during promotional price offers.
Advantages: A good quality Dove product Disadvantages: None
...before you come across a Dove product being promoted.
I have the greatest admiration for Dove and their products, the message that they are trying to convey to their public is one that is full of good and sensible advice.
Dove have been running the Pro Age Campaign, The Campaign for Real Beauty and The Self Esteem fund.
The message behind these imaginative and innovative campaigns is strong yet simple, we as women come in all ages, shapes and ... ...crinkles are character making and Dove themselves have recognised the need to put paid to the idea that the ageing process is something that we ought to be ashamed of.
Dove are actively encouraging women from all age groups to be proud of their bodies, irrespective of what size or shape they are, I for one take my hat off to them!
We all want to look our best but the media spends far too much time focussing on the `perfect woman` with the ideal ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Dove Pro-Age Hand Cream
Advantages: made skin feel slightly smoother Disadvantages: takes ages to absorb,leaves greasy residue,it stinks!
I'm 24, so I don't really "need" handcream for older skin, but my hands are so dry, I thought that if it was for older skin, it would be more of an intensive moisturiser.
The application
It glides on really smoothly and you don't need to use a lot.
It absorbs fast too, but I found it left a greasy residue on my skin.
The smell.
I found the smell really bad, it was a really strong chemical smell, I know that isn't majorly important, but I don't ... ...The benefits.
It made my skin feel smoother, but all I found was that it just coated them in a greasy film, nothing seemed to absorb well enough to make a difference. The Price.
It's not bad at around £2.29 but I have found moisturisers around that mark that have done a much better job. If you have older skin then this may work perfectly well for you, but maybe the reason it didn't work for me is because it is specifically designed for older skin. ...

What Dove say...
It combines active ingredients at levels that will make skin look and feel better. AHA (4%) to rid of dead skin cells and activate new ones, Glycerine (2%) to add critical hydrating nourishment and help improve cell turnover. Oiive Oil (1%) to provide nutrients to your skin, SPF 5 to help prevent sun damage. WHAT I THOUGHT OF DOVE PRO-AGE
I have used this cream for many months. I suffer from very dry hands and my hands are in and ... ...cream about 3-4 times a day and feel the benefits of it's softening and soothing action. It absorbs nicely and doesn't feel greasy afterwards at all, in fact my hands even feel quite airy! Straight away after applying and for a couple of hours later my skin is no longer taunt and feels refreshed. The smell is really clean and it gives me a nice feeling when applied that my hands are being cared for. Over a weeks use and I am sure my hands are looking ...

Advantages: Nice smell, it works Disadvantages: None
I really like the Dove range of beauty products and use quite a lot of their offerings, deodorant, soap etc so when I was looking for a new body cream/handcream I went straight to the Dove products. I was looking for a fairly thick, rich cream as I have had really dry hands recently so I decided upon the DoveProAge Body Cream Oil. It had a label on the top saying that it had a rich cream-oil formula so I thought this would be perfect.
From looking at their website, www.dove.co.uk I found out a bit more about their DovePro*Age Range. They are quoted as saying, "Dove believes beauty has no age limit. That's why we've developed DovePro*age - a range of skin, deodorant and haircare products designed to give your skin and hair what it needs right now. Each product contains real, active ingredients to help bring out the best in you ...
Advantages: Great for very dry skin, a little goes a long way. Disadvantages: The cost of this range of products
does go a long way so despite the initial cost it lasts a considerable length of time even when used on a daily basis. Very often, I have bought cheaper products which sometimes end up being a false economy as you need so much of it to moisturise your skin that the product needs replenishing quite quickly. This isn't the case with this.
