Customer Rating:
Summary: Good enough for my rich uncle...
Comment: He loves this stuff!
He encouraged my family to try it and it has been wonderful. Despite the high price tag, it is a very good lotion.
Sadly, it isn't any better than several other less expensive lotions that I have tried. If you are looking to save money, obviously this one isn't for you. It isn't magic. It won't change your life. But as far as lotions go, it works, smells nice and isn't greasy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great hand cream
Comment: super-creamy balm penetrates my hands quickly and is a extremely effective moisturizer. I handle paper all day which dries my hands out and I just use a dab of this hand cream and go back to working with paper. No grease marks. yeah.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Poor Customer Service
Comment: Very Poor Service - paid cash for this and several products from L'Occitane - my wife tried to return unopened items the next day and was refused because I had paid cash. Customer service was a disaster. I expect more from a place that sells gifts.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best hand cream I've ever used
Comment: A super thick hand cream that goes into skin easily. It doesn't leave your hands feeling greasy. A bit expensive, but highly recommended, and one tube lasts me for the winter season.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Healed cracked hands
Comment: I wash my hands numerous times per hour -- not per day but each hour -- and use Purel hand sanitizer, and my skin had gotten sandpapery rough and cracked (1/8-inch to 1/4-inch painful fissures). This cream is the one that fixed my skin.
I am a big fan of a bargain and I've tried Neutrogena Norwegian formula, Vaseline Intensive Care, Jergens, Curel, Lubriderm, Eucerin, Aveeno and other common brands, but none of them quite did the trick as well.
Pros of the L'Occitane cream:
1. Moisturizes super effectively.
2. Absorbs well without lots of greasiness.
3. Fragrance pleasant and not too strong.
Cons:
1. Price, price price!
2. Lack of UV protection.
3. Fragrance -- if you don't like it.
The only other hand cream that worked about as well was Ahava (also a gift and also very expensive).
Ahava may be a good luxury alternative for people who don't care for the fragrance of L'Occitane's shea butter hand cream (although I happen to LOVE it.)
If this is too expensive, then alternatives worth trying: Eucerin Calming Cream (which I think is also fragrance free and comes in a nice, large tube) is pretty rich, and Neutrogena Norwegian Formula (also greasier but available in fragrance free version) or Norwegian Formula FAST ABSORBING Hand Cream also work pretty well. Just use more of them more often.
