A few years ago, I used to receive deluxe samples of this L’Occitane shea butter hand cream. Back then,  it didn’t seem to do much (perhaps because I was younger)  but now that I’m a little older and because of winter weather hands, I decided to give this a try again. Main reason for trying this again is my hands are really dry (even my favorite Jurlique hand cream is not moisturizing enough for me right now, but mind you, I’m a frequent hand washer). Anyhow, I went into the L’Occitane store yesterday while searching for a new hand cream. I was looking at the Olive Radiance cream when a saleslady offered me to try this handcream.Like every other hand cream I tried, it felt very hydrating when I applied it, The big difference is that this cream was completely absorbed into my skin in no time, leaving my skin to feel moisturised without a film, and that was after just using a small amount. The saleslady told me that you only have to apply this hand crème twice a day, even for a frequent handwasher like myself. Besides being a good moisturizer, this hand cream has a pleasant subtle honey and sweet almond scent. There are 2 packagings for the hand cream, the 150ml metallic tube one or the 3 tubes of 30ml tubes. Since they are both the same price, I bought the 150ml one instead of the 3 little tubes. I use it again at night before i went to bed, in the morning, my hands feel smooth and not dry at all. I am very impressed with this product. I definitely recommend this product to people who have dry hands. I think it can give anyone smooth soft hands!
