Vaseline hand and nail lotion - sensitive enough for my eczema

Advantages: Good value, not slimy or sticky, soft hands
Disadvantages: Quite runny, packaging not perfect, not an intensive moisturiser

...I have very sensitive hands which have suffered from eczema all my life, they are constantly dry and itchy, so I have to be extremely careful about what products I use on my skin. I normally moisturise my hands every time I wash my hands, before bed, in the morning and other time throughout the day, so moisturiser is very important to me. While away from home, I ran out of my normal creams and so I had to borrow some Vaseline hand and nail lotion. I was very surprised to find that this lotion did not irritate my skin any more than my usual moisturisers. Description The Vaseline 'intensive care' hand and nail lotion is more runny than cream and will drip if you tip your hand upside down. This white creamy liquid absorbs quickly into the skin and is particularly effect immediately after washing your hands. The lotion does make...

Review of Vaseline Hand & Nail Lotion

'Hand & Nail Everyday Care Lotion'

Advantages: great fresh scent, moisturises, nourishes, softens, smoothens hands and strengthens nails
Disadvantages: Larger packs are more expensive but product does the job

...I like to carry a lotion or hand moisturiser in my hand bag to use on my hands when I am on the move or at work especially when I wash my hands after using the bathroom or if I notice my hands have gone dry after a few hours of typing away at my keyboard:) I use my hands a lot while working at the PC at the job so I like to have them moisturised and looked after though I suppose I'd do the same if I did not use them a lot at work; when I am home I like to take good care of them e.g. when I had to hand-wash my dishes before I had a dishwasher that allowed me the little plus of having no chipped nails for at least a couple of weeks or more... 'Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand & Nail Lotion' is one of those products that I will often have in my bag or purse on the move. I buy the small 75ml pack that is also the handy size top...

Review of Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand & Nail Lotion

Vaseline Intensive Care Hand and Nail Lotion

Advantages: Softens hands, smells nice, small handbag sized tube, cheap
Disadvantages: None really

...I have the most awful hands in existence. My nails are ridged and prone to splitting, and my fingers are freakishly long with too many lines. I long for smooth, young-looking hands with lovely nails and normal-sized fingers! I decided I couldn't live with my godawful hands forever, and decided to sort them out, once and for all. I made a quick trip to Boots and Superdrug, and came back home, armed with this hand cream, nail buffers, emery boards and nail varnishes. My mum uses a Vaseline moisturiser and I was slightly doubtful at first - Vaseline is a slightly mumsy brand, but I'd frittered away the rest of my money on L'oreal and Maybelline nail varnishes when I could have made do with Miss Sporty and Collection 2000, and this was the only hand cream I could find for under £1.50. It comes in a pink 75ml tube that stands...

Clairins Age Control Hand Lotion....Does What it Says in the Tin!

Advantages: Prevents Age Spots, Evens Skin Tone & Softens Hands
Disadvantages: Greasy

...Clarins Age Control Hand Lotion claims to prevent age spots, even skin tone and soften the hands, I can confirm that this is a product that delivers on its promises. The lotion is light and although it appears to absorb quickly it still leaves your skin feeling a little bit greasy (well at lerast it does on me). Age Control Hand Cream is quite light in texture and as a pleasant 'fresh' smell to it, as you would expect from the Clairins range. It is recommended to use the lotion several times throughout the day, but I must admit I only used it 2 maybe 3 times maximum and that seems to be enough to get the job done for me. You will notice your hands starting to feel a lot softer within the first couple of weeks. A positive plus in todays climate is that that lotion comes with a built in SPF 15 (which must help with the age spots...

Review of Clarins for Women Age Control Hand Lotion

Tesco hand and body lotion

Advantages: Absorbs quicky,relieves tight and dry hands
Disadvantages: not very intensive

...After trying the Tesco cocoa butter body lotion and it being such a success, I decided to give the Tesco hand and body lotion a go. At £1.14, even if I didn't like it, I wasn't losing much. The packaging. Pretty standard creamy coloured squeeezy bottle really. It's got the blue Tesco logo on the front. The smell. When you first apply it, there is quite a strong synthetic smell, this fades after about 5 minutes though. Does it work? Yes it does, it absorbs very quickly and whilst it is not what you could call intensive, it made my relieved my hands of the tightness they normally have. I would recommend this product for anyone that has dry or tight hands. It's not particularly intensive and it won't sort out chapped or flaky hands but for what it costs, it's good as a basic hand cream....

Review of Tesco Hand & Body Lotion

For hands that do ......well, anything!

Advantages: Non greasy, Easily absorbed, great price
Disadvantages: I'm not too keen on the smell!

...Luckily for me, I was treated to a manicure for my birthday earlier this year. I will admit that I do not usually spend much time looking after my hands, I never wear gloves when doing the housework and have no idea how to shape a nail. However, after being pampered (and really enjoying it!) I could see and feel a big difference in my skin. My hands were so soft I dreaded having to wash them! So, off I went to choose some hand cream. I've always been a Vaseline fan and have already reviewed the Essential moisture Body Lotion, so choosing the Intensive Care Healthy hand and Nail was easy for me I know . I instantly recognized the dark blue logo which stands out from the pale pink tube. It states on the tube front that it 'softens hands and strengthens nails by 50%'. It also tells you that it contains keratin, milk proteins...

Review of Vaseline Hand & Nail Lotion

Put your hands together for this

Advantages: Effective - non-greasy - absorbent
Disadvantages: None

...Our ever changeable British climate plays havoc with my skin - especially my hands. My palms have vast swathes of peeling skin and dry flaking bits. Too much information I hear you cry! I needed to find something to stop the disintegration and fast, and that's when I came across Vaseline Intensive Hand and Nail Lotion. This hand cream retails at a reasonable £1.39 for 75ml or £2.69 for 200ml. It claims that it not only softens hands and cuticles, but also strengthens your nails. It contains milk proteins and AHA to give you nails that are 50% stronger. It's made by Elida Fabergé under the Vaseline Intensive Care Trademark and recommends for best results it should be used 2-3 times daily. Sounds good - let's give it a whirl. The 75ml version comes in a handy tube which fits easily into the side pocket of my handbag. The top...

Tesco Hand & Body Lotion

Advantages: slightly scented, not greasy, cheap!
Disadvantages: none!

...Whenever there is a cheap supermarket version of something, Ill give it a go, and lotion is no different. Many months ago, a well in the know friend told me how most manufacturers make supermarket versions within the same as their named brands. I wasnt too sure yet only this week heinz are reported to be thinking about doing value brands as well for supermarkets! If its the same product why pay 3 or 4 times the price!! So, tesco, as in many of my reviews, I am a fan! The lotion, in fact all the lotions made by Tesco, are lovely. They do a cocoa butter one which ( believe me, if you have stretchmarks or scars get some and put it on 3 times a day seriously ). Anyway, back to hand and body lotion, it has all the usual skin care components found in most lotions, including vitamin E. Always nice to know. So, on it goes, it...

Review of Tesco Hand & Body Lotion

Feed your hands with this wonderful lotion

Advantages: Fresh smell, Absorbs well, Softer skin, only needs small amount
Disadvantages: none

...♫♪ Land of Soap and Glory?someone's taking a bath, who's that looking through the window?.trying not to laugh ♫♪ I previously reviewed a product which I had bought from Boots - the aptly named "wash your hands of it" liquid hand wash. Now I am about to review the product that I bought with it. To reiterate for those who haven't read my other review (shame on you) I purchased a special offer gift set of the hand wash and this hand cream for a nice price of £8 but for me was even better?as it was FREE. Bought as part of a 3 for 2 on all gifts at Boots just before Christmas. The products however are usually only available separately so that is the reason I am choosing to review them in separate reviews. The hand wash is normally £4.40 for 250ml pump bottle. The hand cream as far as I can see on Boots website is...
