The first thing to note is the beautiful lemon scent, which I adore; it's quite a strong scent, however, so it might put those with sensitive skins or noses off. I'd say this product has more of a balm-like texture than a traditional cream, being quite thick and waxy to the touch. It melts on contact with the skin, whereupon it's easy to spread around the cuticles and massage in. It does leave a slight oily residue on the skin, which is why I prefer to use this as part of my bedtime routine rather than through the day. However, I've found it works well to re-hydrate my cuticles overnight, meaning they're not feeling as rough and delicate by the time I wake up. This is definitely a product that I see better results from when I (remember to) use it three or four days running.

I'm a big fan of L'Occitane shea butter hand cream. It is very effective on dry hands but still soaks in really quickly, and doesn't leave a greasy residue.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the giveaway!
I've never actually used a cuticle cream before, definitely want to try one though. This one sounds really good, it does sound better to use in the evening though!

I'd love to try this since I really like a zesty scent.
ReplyDeleteI love this cuticle balm, but I hate how I can never get the tin open! I hope one day they change the packaging.
ReplyDeleteI love a good cuticle balm and this one sounds right up my street. I'll have to see if my local Botos have them in stock next time I'm in town :)
ReplyDeleteWe have this and it does smell just amazing.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, so far nothing has helped me, but it's my own fault. I tend to bite my nail *eeek* and the skin around my nails suffers from this too. So the only thing that really helps is to not let it come so far and thus keeing my skin fresh with a tiny bit of the finest pumice I can find. And I try to use my nail brush each time after having removed my nail polish. Unfortunatly a cream alone or oil has never sufficed - so far! So I would love to try Burt's Bees. I have used their lip balm and was quite taken with it.
ReplyDeleteI love L'Occitane shea butter hand cream and their foot cream too. Heavenly.
ReplyDeleteOooh this sounds lovely, i've heard great things about this range and am in desperate need of something to look after my cuticles. Thanks for sharing!

I've tried this in the past, it has such great reviews! I quite liked it though I did find it a little greasy. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm using Garnier handrepair for extra dry skin at the moment as I needed it through the winter months. I've never used a cuticle cream so I would love to give it a try, thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteCrabtree & Evelyn lily of the valley hand cream, it smells amazing!
ReplyDeleteI used this a couple of years ago and loved it x
