The spa inspired hand cream.

Advantages: Does almost everything it promises to.
Disadvantages: My hands don't look any younger!

...I am always on the lookout for a decent moisturising cream, so when I was brought this as part of a miniatures gift set I was really pleased, the cream I will now review is not one I have ever heard of before receiving it, let alone tried it. The product I will now review is - ?Champneys collection, vitamiracle hand & nail cream? The tube is the upside down variety, I do prefer these due to the fact that the product automatically falls into the base/lid, meaning there is less cream left when the tube is at the ?unsqueezable? stage. The tube is made of a reasonably thin plastic, this is essential to make the actual process of squeezing the cream out much easier. The tube itself is clear, with the product being visible within, this is lovely pale creamy yellow, with the fact that it is very thick and emollient being very...

Review of Champneys Vitamiracle Hand and Nail Cream

Great Handbag Hand Cream

Advantages: Nice practical size, works well
Disadvantages: The scent is a little strong

...I bought this product as I wanted a new hand cream that I could keep in my handbag to use when I need it, and the dinky little tube makes this perfect for that use. It cost me £2.98 in Boots and for this you get 50ml of product. The tube is only about 4 inches high, making it really easy to fit into a handbag to carry around with you, and has a flip lid on which it stands. The lid is easy to open but fastens very securely so there's no worry of spillages. The only problem really with the packaging is that if you don't keep it stood on it's lid it can be quite hard to get the right amount of product out. If it's not already at the lid end of the tube you have to really squeeze it quite hard to get any product out, and this usually ends up in far too much product coming out when it finally does decide to appear. But this is only...

Review of Neutrogena Hand Cream (Unscented)

Would You Bleach Your Hands? (Protect & Perfect Hand Cream)

Advantages: Conditions and protects your hands, contains SPF 15; a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Expensive; can give allergic reaction; 'Bleaches your hands'

... Would You Bleach Your Hands? (Protect & Perfect Hand Cream) . Over the last few years, I have been more aware of various creams and potions designed to moisturise and improve the appearance and elasticity of skin. As I have sensitive skin and psoriasis, I have to be particularly careful of any items that I try, looking out in particular for lanolin, wool alcohols and certain other chemicals. I know some of the things that irritate my skin, but others seem to be totally random (or perhaps I just don't understand what all those chemical names mean!) . I use as natural products as possible, and have used Boots Traditional Range of Vitamin A & E cleansers, toners and so forth, but these have been discontinued. I used to use a Boots Hand and Nail Cream which also was discontinued . . . I managed to purchase several tubes when...

Review of Boots no 7 Protect and Perfect Hand Cream

Best hand cream - smooths like silk

Advantages: Great results - only a little required
Disadvantages: Rather pricey

...My 3 year old daughter has had problem skin including atopic eczema from a very young age and in cold dry weather, she gest extremely dry patches on her arms, legs and wrists. We have tried all sorts of creams and medication but nothing has every worked quite like shea butter. This is the best hand cream that we've ever used as it only takes a pea size of the cream to smooth out her skin and calm the redness. The cream helps to reduce the redness quickly. Works like magic for our family and we will be keeping this as one of our regular buys! I have recommended to my families and friends and all I've heard are postive reviews of this product....

Review of L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

Perfect and Protect Hand Cream

Advantages: Very Effective
Disadvantages: Price

...Introduction I work in an occupation where I am constantly having to wash my hands literally hundreds of times a day as a result I spend a lot of time applying cream to my hands to try and combat the problems of hand dryness which can sometimes result in contact dermatitis. I have tried several creams however recently I have discovered a product which works a treat to ensure that my hands remain soft and moisturised hence preventing any irritating skin problems.

Review of Boots no 7 Protect and Perfect Hand Cream

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream - Soothing Medicine for s

Advantages: Great for restoring dry chapped hands to their former glory
Disadvantages: Slightly medicated smell and a tiny bit greasy if too much is used.

...I have decided to review the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream Concentrated which comes in a squeezy bottle. Price The norwegian formula hand cream was bought from asda for £2.77 for 75ml. The price may vary from store to store so please bare this in mind. Container The container is a squeezy type bottle which is flat at the top abit like the toothpaste type containers. It has a screw on lid. The container is mostly white with blue and red as the only other colours. There is a flag type logo which is blue and white and makes the product brand more recognisable. Information on the container The product basically tells you that it is hand cream which is in a concentrated version so that just a dab is needed to relieve dry chapped hands. It is also dermatologist tested. On the back of the container it gives...

Review of Neutrogena Hand Cream (Unscented)

My favorite hand cream so far

Advantages: Fast absorbing, moisturising, protective, pleasant smell
Disadvantages: Contains mineral oil

...I first came across this on QVC while flipping through channels. I used to be sceptical about shopping channels but after realising one of my favourite brands, Liz Earle, was first introduced in QVC, I became more receptive to other products on QVC. The show host and the beauty expert emphasised the anti-aging benefits in the hand cream and how nice it smells but she only really caught my attention when she tried and said it didn't feel greasy but very moisturising and absorbed quickly. I was wondering whether it contains dimethicone, which makes cream or lotion easy to absorb but can actually irritate more sensitive skin. I forgot whether they said anything about it being gentle or not. I just felt that I really wanted to try it although I was quite happy with L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream, which has been highly recommended by...

Review of Gatineau Vitamina Hand Cream

A Magik Hand Cream that makes my hands soft!

Advantages: doesn't irritate, makes hands feel protected, excellent moisturiser
Disadvantages: needing to be near Debenhams or Holland and Barrett to get it, possibly price

...I've used Dead Sea Spa Magik products for a while, although now I've practically growing out of my "problem teenage skin" phase (finally!) I have been able to branch out into exploring other beauty products and consequently am not quite as devoted to this range as I previously was. The Dead Sea Spa Magik range is produced by the company Finders International, who work on the theory that skin problems and disorders are caused by an imbalance of essential minerals in the body and they state that their various cleansing and moisturising products are designed to incorporate specific "healing" minerals in order to benefit the skin. As with all items in the Dead Sea Spa Magik range, the Super Hand Cream comes in an opaque white tube made of thick plastic and features a circular plastic screw-on top in a calming, discreet royal blue which has...

Review of Dead Sea Spa Magik Super Hand Cream

Decent hand cream but is it worth the large price tag?

Advantages: The scent is great, a nice thick texture which is easily absorbed and hands are truly moisturised.
Disadvantages: The price tag, it really lets it down.

...I seem to go through quite a bit of handcream due to the fact that the handwash in our toilets at work seems to really dry my hands out, and I can't stand the way they feel after I have washed them at work! After being recently very disappointed with the Asda's own handcream I was keeping an eye out for a different handcream to buy. I was in the Body Shop as I had some vouchers to use and there was a sale on, whilst I was in the queue I noticed this handcream and made a grab for it just before I was served. This was my first mistake, little did I know this 100ml tube of hand & nail cream was going to come to £7.80! It was my own fault for not checking the price of course, but I just could not believe they are charging £7.80 for a handcream. Luckily I am a Love Your Body Member which means I get 10% off purchases so that helped a little...
