I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- I would rather have a tube, a jar is always added annoyance
- Not really a miracle product if you really want results, I don't feel much exfoliation or a long lasting moisture
- Fake honey smell, reminds me of disgusting honey hand soaps (don't like honey or coconut)
- For me it is a bit extra to have a separate cuticle mask! I could easily replace it with a good hand cream and facial acids.
+ The texture is really fun, sticky gel, I would just want to touch it
+ Does soften cuticles and fingers (I just slather it quite freely)
+ You can wash it off like instructions suggest or leave it on for a night for example, I think it helps. If hands are really dry, it does absorb in.
+ I think the ingredient list looks nice? (I'm not an expert.) Includes honey and other moisturizing ingredients, also gluconolactone.

* Talk about impulse purchases. The jar is way too cute. I was travelling and my nails and cuticles were feeling dry and uncomfortable, then I saw this unpractical item for cheap! So I had to get it.
* My nail care is really random and I don't usually put too much thought into it, unless something disastrous is going on.
Price:
About 2-3 € / 25 ml
Bought from:
Weird store selling everything cheap inside a luxury shopping center
Buy again?
No, discontinued? Essence has other similar new items though.
Worth the money?
I guess so, I don't think it does too much but it's fun and relaxing to use and I kind of did needed it. (Not really but eh.) Has lasted for a long time (bought in 2017!). Should pan it as fast as possible. Would I buy other nail care products from Essence? Not planning to do that really. Still I would not be against them. But I don't feel like anyone needs them, they are just entertainment. Just use a good hand cream and the same gentle acids to exfoliate the cuticles as on your face!
