Burt's BeesAlmond & Milk Hand Cream For Very Dry Hands, Hand Moisturiser With Sweet Almond Oil & Beeswax, 56.6gCompact by Design (Certified by Amazon)

I’ve tried so many hand creams with little effect on the moisture levels to the skin.This cream is super thick, smells lovely, lasts on my hands for ages after putting it on.It comes in a lovely little bottle & the texture is great for really dry skin, it absorbs well, leaving my hands feeling soft & less dry.Great value for money, will definitely buy again & recommend to friends.

Extraordinary! Soaks in leaving skin soft without feeling greasy. Gentle, subtle scent, not perfumed. Effective on feet and nails too. Just ordered 2 more for friends!!

It's the middle of winter as I write this, and prime season for dried, cracking hands. To add to it, I'm also undergoing radiotherapy treatment which leaves my skin very vulnerable. I decided to give this a go as it's cruelty free, natural, and reviews well.Firstly, I will say that I agree with the reviews which mention the cream separating. It really does, a bit like full fat milk. The cream comes to the top in your milk bottle. This is more of a waxy substance coming to the top. It's fine - it's still moisturising, and there's nothing wrong with it.Don't go thinking you can easily stir this though - it has the consistency of cold butter underneath that wax. It is greasy and hard. They would never have been able to put this stuff in a tube, which is presumably why it's in a glass jar. In all honesty though, even that's not really perfect, because if you have long fingernails, your fingernails will go into it when you dip into the jar, and it is like getting butter under your nails.The greasiness is quite something. I have to use this at night, because it takes so long to absorb that if you tried to use it during the day, you'd never be able to get on with your chores or job because of the grease coating. However, its greasiness is clearly what makes it different from other creams, because this stuff works. I used to have to re-moisturise during the night when I was using other creams, but not this one. Once it sinks in, you've got eight hours of active overnight moisturising.As for the smell, I think it's a love it or hate it thing. While I don't dislike almonds, this doesn't really smell of almonds to me. It doesn't smell especially natural either, although it probably is, because that's what Burt's Bees is about. I'm not sure what the perfume is, but it's quite a strong fragrance. It didn't need to be that strong!Overall then, this is not a practical daytime hand cream, but it's brilliant as an overnight treatment you can put on and leave to do its thing. It's saved my skin this winter.

Lovely cream and not over priced. I like this as much or maybe a little more than my expensive hand cream.

Item arrived well packaged. It is a large jar of hand cream. When you take the lid off it smells beautiful. And when you apply it to your hands it continues to smell beautiful for hours. Even after washing your hands. The scent is mainly of almonds which is neutral so it is suitable for both masculine and feminine hands. As a male myself I did not feel it was an effeminate frangrance. You do not need to apply a great deal for suitable coverage of your hands. Because it feels and smells so luxurious there is a danger of over application it is that good. However, you do not need to over apply it as one application moisturises your hands all day. I began using his a few weeks ago in the depths of winter when the skin on my knuckles were cracking and flaking. Within a week they were nourished and ultra smooth with no complaints. That was just with an initial few days of two or three applications a day. It really is a miracle for sore, cracked hands.The fact that it is organic and natural ingredients makes it even more satisfying that you are not applying damaging chemicals to broken skin. Your body will clearly love you for it.It is certainly worth the money.There are no negatives to this product. Although one suggestion would be for Burt’s Bees to include for free a very small tin that you could transfer some cream into to enable the user to carry it around in their pocket for easier convenience.This will become a staple in our homes cosmetics. However I doubt I will be buying again for a long time as it is lasting a long time. Burt’s Bees continues to impress me.

Love this cream, super rich and smells lovely. I've bought it three times now so a jar roughly lasts about a year.I will say it's not for intensely dry hands, it's more an everyday cream to keep on top of getting dry hands.

I'm an older woman and have been trying different hand creams that come in jars (for easy access). I think that if you were looking for an 'organic' or 'natural' hand cream, you would be pleased with this product. It has a pleasant texture and smell. However, I find that it takes more effort to spread and rub in. Also, it feels more like the cream is sitting on my skin, rather than being absorbed. For my money, I prefer using a more 'modern' cream with 5% urea. I find that they work better for me.

Great value. Although the pot is small the product is very thick and only a tiny amount is needed. The scent is not great but not too strong. Slightly greasy on application but absorbs fast. Love that it is natural ingredients and not in a plastic container. Should last ages.
