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:
- Fragrance lingers for a long time.
- Not for heavy duty moisturizing?
- After a couple of hours I feel like I could put on more moisturizer, but my hands are not feeling super dry yet. (winter time)
+ Melts on my skin immediately, absorbs quickly, in minutes.
+ Hands feel very smooth and natural afterwards, not sticky at all. Good for daytime use.
+ Even though the fragrance is strong, it's not bad in any way! Fresh unisex perfume like, they're going for the marine theme.
+ I do feel that the cream/brand image is nice everyday luxury.

* Actually, I would compare this hand cream to the Virgin Olive Oil Foot Cream from Kicks! I know it sounds a bit funny. But they both kind of melt to the skin, absorb well, make skin look smooth. Also both are not good for super dry hands with micro wounds, they smooth and moisturize but are not soothing. They seem to share some similar ingredients as well but obviously the foot cream is a lot more basic.
* I could buy something else on a whim from Crabtree&Evelyn though but I'm not intentionally going to search for them. Maybe some rose hand cream? Also the shower products are looking quite nice!
* I usually only need hand/body moisturizers during the winter, haven't noticed any reason or results to use them during summer...
Price:

Bought from:
Lookfantastic Advent Calendar
Buy again?
Not very likely.
Worth the money?
Nah, it's a nice hand cream, a bit of an luxury. But for me for example the Kicks cream is good enough and smells better, and it's at 10 €/100 ml, and the world is full of other luxury hand creams and this one is not amazingly different from them. At least if you get these smaller sizes they are overpriced I feel. Also my luxury is probably different from everyone else's luxury!
