    This is my go to product to moisturize my hands right before I go to bed :)

    My hands are not overly dry, but they have been taking a beating since I was my hands constantly at school.

    At night, I always choose deep and moisturizing products for my body to let it really sink it overnight.


    For my hands? This is the best that it can get! I feel like my hands drink this right up! It goes on smooth and within less than a minutes, Voila! Super supple hands that do not have any residue left over from the cream.

    How do I know this is a Holy Grail (HG) product for me? Even my boyfriend comments on how soft my hands are after I apply this :)

    The scent is also an added bonus! Its a soft buttery smell that dissipates right after application.

    Although the price point can be a little steep for a little tube, it WILL last long and goes the extra mile (at least for me lol)

    Happy shopping!

    This stuff is AMAZING! If you could only use one hand cream for the rest of your life, this should be it. It has a great smooth texture and really nourishes dry hands/skin and leaves it feeling very supple and soft. It's pricey but worth it.

    This hand cream is simply amazing!
    I have tried many many creams before But this one tops them all.

    This is not the cheapest one but i got the smaller size for 12$
    The texture is very smooth. I must say he scent isn't amazing...It smells very clinical.
    But we don't care right? as long as it works!

    What is amazing is that you will not ever have that greasy feeling on your hands. It's just enough moisturizer.
    I must also say that's its organic product made in France. And the ladies at the store were very knowledgeable

    One of the best hand creams on the market!

    Yes, it's pricey, but I love the smoothness and thickness of it. No dribbling and it applies quickly and lasts. Works well for the dry winter months or if you're required to do a lot of handwashing at work. It has a nice clean shea butter scent that does not overwhelm.

    I tend to like the original shea butter version here, but L'Occitane has started to release some fragranced versions. Received a box of them at Christmas and haven't opened them yet, but I think that will be a nice variation if you'd like some scent.

    The same friend who recommended the Rosebud Salve also recommended this hand cream. This is an amazing product! The other hand cream that I had listed Shea Butter as its 7th or so ingredient, while this lists Shea Butter as its second ingredient, as it is a whopping 20% of the contents. And it really shows! It is so soft and creamy, and not oily at all! It lasts a long time, and this mini size is perfect for travel!

    Hands down this is the best hand cream ever. I have very dry hands during the winter and sometimes my ecema will flare up during the winter or the hot humid summer days. I find this hand cream help a lot with the dryness with the hands and kept it really smooth.

    This is my favourite hand cream. I love that it works so quickly and that a little goes a long way. It works very well for dry hands and doesn't leave a greasy feeling.

    By far the best hand cream, a little goes a long way. Excellent to put on at night right before bed. Had a pleasant smell, not to strong. Especially useful during our long Canadian winters.

    I recieved this cream as a gift. If you looked at my hands you would think that they belonged to a much much older woman. Very dry, with cracks - so dry that it bleeds especially in the winter time. I've tried a lot of lotions - Kiehls, Aveda, Jo Malone and I have to say that this is the best out of all of them. Yes it does smell like something that you put on a baby - but I actually find that scent very pleasing and calming. It's so effective that my hands no longer bleed from the dryness.

    I'm always searching for a hand cream that is moisturizing, long lasting, and not sticky or greasy and I've finally found it! L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream is 20% Shea butter so it's very moisturizing and long-lasting but doesn't leave your hands feeling sticky or greasy. Added bonus is that it has a nice soft scent.
