Here's my issue with them, I hate feeling and looking greasy, not being able to touch things without leaving a nasty oily finger print, or literally having butterfingers. I also don't like feeling like I have a glove of cream on my hands, even after I wash them, I like to feel naturally smooth.
I've seen L'Occitane products at Sephora, but wasn't sure if I'd like this hand cream, because of the above. I went ahead and bought the Shea Butter hand cream for $26, the smaller size is $10, but my Sephora only had the large size.
This hand cream is perfect for people like me, who don't like feeling greasy. It absorbs into skin quickly, so the greasy feeling you get after putting on hand cream doesn't last, and leaves your hands feeling soft. It smells like honey and shea butter which is another plus.
The only downside to this is that it's not quite a cure for dry skin, meaning that once you wash your hands, they are likely to be dry again if you don't reapply. Good news is you can always layer it on really thick before you sleep and put on cotton gloves or socks over your hands to lock in the moisture.
Overall, I really like this hand cream, and it's perfect for people who don't like thick creams, or having greasy hands.
I live in a very dry area. The humidity was 10% this morning. L'Occitane is the first lotion I have found that not only works really, really well, it smells good. I work in an office with many, many little cubicles pressed together. We need to smell good, but not annoyingly good. People live longer. This product is helping me arrive at at an advanced age without having skin like the snakes and lizards who also live here. Actually, until I bought this stuff and started using it faithfully, the snakes and lizards had better skin than I did.
