   This is an excellent thicker, creamier type of hand cream that feels substantial and provides hydration without leaving a greasy mess.

   The formula has changed somewhat to the better by removing the masking fragrance Clinique used to use in almost all their products, hence making it not only “more” fragrance free but also letting the product have its more natural fragrance. (The reason I say this is that it still does contain a fragrance ingredient: Aleuritic Acid.)

   I do prefer this to the hand creams from La Mer and Estee Lauder Renutriv. And it also costs way less and a big plus that the size is small enough to be easily carried in a hand bag.

   This yellow cream does a fair job of moisturizing. I use it on the backs of my hands on top of a lotion moisturizer. I also put in on my elbows. It has a long ingredient list, the first of which is water. I prefer a more moisturizing formula as the skin on the back of my hands is thin and dry.

   The only two things I liked about this was the 1.4 fl oz tube it came in – perfect for travel and the fact that it instantly and completely absorbed into my hands like magic, without any oily residue whatsoever. BUT completely pointless considering it does not moisturize my hands much at all and doesn’t do a thing for my cuticles either. Often my hands would be just as dry again in the morning and that’s keeping in mind that I only use SLS-free hand washes in my house. Even using an absurd amount of product has not yielded anything. It still vanishes into my hands, feels like it’s doing something at the time and yet still does not hydrate adequately over a 12 hour period, compared to other hand creams I’ve used. Definitely not a re-purchase for me.

   Best hand cream i have ever used. Smooths on nicely with no residue. My hands feel better for at least 12 hours and my nails look good too. You only need a small amount. I just wish they made a larger tube. This product works really well, but I think it is very expensive for such a small sized tube.

   Performs like an average drugstore cream. Leaves a film, sometimes it’s even visible. Not very moisturizing. One lippie for fast absorbtion and another for practical packaging. Not worth the price. I would not repurchase.

   The good thing about this product is that it’s formulated without a lot of harsh, cheap ingredients like fragrance and mineral oil. So if those are irritants for you, this might be a good option.

   But I don’t think it’s worth the price. It doesn’t absorb quickly and leaves my hands feeling plasticky, like they’re coated with wax. I applied this after I washed my hands, and I have gone to wash my hands maybe 3-5 hours later only to find that I can feel the cream washing off my hands in a weird slime.

   I really love the Deep Comfort Body Butter and expected this to be similar but it really isn’t. If you want to try it for yourself, I’d recommend taking advantage of a Clinique gift set that includes a travel-sized version of the cream, instead of buying the full-size product immediately.

   Unlike the body lotion and butter from the same range – both of which I love – I really didn’t like this. It smelt of plastic to me, had a really strange pearlised look to it and no matter how much or how little I applied, it just didn’t seem to want to sink into my skin for some reason so I was left with a horrible film all over my hands. I did try to finish the tube I had as I don’t like to waste products, but I definitely wouldn’t buy this again and I must confess that I threw the last little bit away.

   This might just be my new HG when it comes to hand creams. Although it’s thick and feels very rich, it sinks in quickly and there is absolutely no greasy or sticky feeling – just soft, moisturized hands. The moisturizing effects last until the next time you wash your hands, but I’m used to reapplying hand lotion several times a day during the cold weather months. It’s unscented, too, which is a bonus if like me, you wear fragrance during the day and don’t want scented lotions competing with your perfume.

   Odourless and moisturising. Lovely packaging is my favourite kind: click cap. Moisturises better than Liz Earle, but not as good as L’Occitane as it leaves a thin greasy film over hands – it’s hard to open stuff a short while after applying. On the plus side, the film leaves hands soft even after washing- it’s like the product is still on. It makes my nails look shiny after application but after a month’s use my cuticles are in a less good condition. It’s also pretty expensive in the UK- I paid £18 for 75ml.

    That’s not what I expect from a hand cream. It feels lovely when I apply it but once I wash my hands they are left even drier than they were before I “treated” them to this cream. The cream actually feels like some film on my hands. I would never except such poor performance based on the ingredient list. Will certainly not repurchase.

    I just bought this hand cream but i already love it! I was afraid that it would be to greasy on my hands for a everyday use, but it’s not!.

    It absorb it really fast and leaves a non greasy feeling, so you can use your hands right after.
    I’m not very fond of fragrance though.
    The packaging is good as well easy to bring with you.
    Overall i really love this product for my semi dry hands!
