Burt’s Bees Lavender and Honey Hand Cream with Shea Butter, 1 Ounce

I found this hand creme at Walgreen's (!) a couple of years ago, and decided I liked the natural aspect of it and would try it, as other lotions sometimes left me feeling slick or slathered and I needed a tissue to wipe off the residue on my hands. First off, the smell is heavenly - a slight almond, milky, good-for-you smell helps put you right at ease. Then you apply to your hands and...my first time, I was like: WOW. This is AWESOME. My hands actually FELT good; I mean g-o-o-d; after using this product. It seemed to melt into my hands like bread soaking up butter. My skin WANTED this stuff, I could tell. Instead of that slick feeling afterward, I could still tell something had been applied, but it was because my hands felt moisturized and not coated. The landscaper came in one day complaining his hands were so dry - got my jar out and said "give this a try". He was loving it: it went into the callouses, into his weather-roughened skin and made it feel better. He came back and asked to borrow it again. I gave him a whole jar. He now swears by the stuff and his hands are in much better shape, not as cracked and split and dry as they once were. He still looks like he works with his hands, but there's a definite difference in the quality of his skin - even I can tell without him pointing it out. For me, I have a pot in my bag, one in my office, one by my bedside, one downstairs by the TV - whenever I'm feeling uncomfortable, I just add a little of this into my palm and work over my hands and through my fingers and I instantly feel 100x better. Working with paper a lot (tellers, cashiers, office workers) can really suck the moisture from your hands: I'm telling you, you cannot beat this stuff, it's magic in a jar. I even use some on the callouses I get on my elbows occasionally, and within a few days, my skin is healed and and longer chafing. No residue, just moisture. it's "AWESOME".

I love this product. I have used it for years. Being a nurse is hard on the hands. This product is very helpful.Warning: The product is fairly thick, and if you are one of those people who is bothered by that thick feel, consider yourself warned.The creamy almond scent and the feel is amazing. Burt's Bees also used to make a carrot night cream that was out of this world good. They stopped making the product. I am always worried that they will discontinue this product as well down the line. Burt's Bees, if you are reading, please bring back the carrot cream. Or, at least, sell the information to another company to re-manufacture the amazing night cream. And, please, for the sake of nurses' hands, always keep manufacturing this hand lotion.

This smells so delicious, like a marzipan or almond desert. It comes of out the jar thick and rich, more the consistency of butter, although it softens some as it is warmed and is easy to apply. This Almond Milk Hand Creme is very moisturizing and able to deal with dry skin that occurs as a result of frequent hand washing, harsh winters, etc. A little goes a long way. The only downside is that it can leave your hands feeling greasy, with fingerprints on everything touched after using it. Because of this, I only use it at night, and awaken with soft, smooth hands. It is a treat to use this just before falling asleep.For comparison, this Almond Milk Hand Creme is more deeply moisturizing than most of the other natural hand creams, such as Burt's Bees Ultimate Care Hand Cream (although this is better for daytime use, since it does not leave hands feeling quite as greasy), Collective Well-Being Hand Cream, and Desert Essence Organics Pumpkin Hand Repair Cream (the latter of which is worthwhile just because of its delicious pumpkin-spice smell!).Also good for deep daytime moisturizing are the Gardener's Hand Creams, which are thicker and work better than those above. I've tried several of the JR Watkins Hand Creams and Hand Repair Balms by Upper Canada and find these to have superior moisturizing, with delightful scents. (yes, I've tried a lot of different hand creams/lotions, and hope my experience will save you from buying some less useful products)

This cream is amazing! My cuticles were very sore, dried out, and were getting to the point where they were bleeding so I knew something had to be done. I tried out this cream due to a YouTuber who I trust highly and recommended this product. I only put this cream on at night because it does tend to leave my hands feeling oily afterwards. However, when I wake up the next day the oily feeling is gone and what I have left is very smooth (soft) hands and I got that hydrated feeling back in my cuticles! After just a couple days I can say that my cuticles are now fully recovered. I noticed the difference immediately. So please, please, please get this product if you were suffering with your cuticles like I have. You will not regret it!Pros:-Helps cracked/dry/sore cuticles-Leaves hands feelings soft and hydrated-When you first open the cream you will notice right away how good it smellsCons:-Your hands feel oily after applying this cream so only use it at night-After the cream is applied the smell is almost overpowering and I tend not to like it as much as when I first opened the cream.Would I buy this product again? YES, it saved my cuticles life so it's worth it! :)

I wish it came in a larger size tube but great for travel

Works great and doesn’t take up a lot of space in my desk
