Burt's BeesAlmond & Milk Hand Cream For Very Dry Hands, Hand Moisturiser With Sweet Almond Oil & Beeswax, 56.6g

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.

I gave this as a gift but tried it when the person opened it. I think it's great because it's light yet very effective as it immediately rubbed in and improved the appearance and feel of my hands. I'm going to buy myself a jar. I can't comment on how long the effect lasts as it was a busy day but certainly first impressions were good. Also a jar is handy and can be easily recycled or re-used.

I have been using this product for several months and the difference in the appearance in my hands is amazing. I really struggle to find something that is kind to my skin, which is really sensitive, but not any more. I only need to use a little bit each night and it really goes a long way, so don’t be put off by the size of the pot as it lasts for ages. My hands are no longer chapped and my skin is softer and in much better all round general condition. Thoroughly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. The cream has a pink ointment layer and a white cream layer beneath. No strange smell so I guess that’s normal to look like this. Tried on my psoriasis skin and it is very protecting. Loved the almond smell.

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.
