Just a dab relieves
dry and chapped hands….
Bang on!!!
It absolutely does
what it says!!!
It’s a rarity
nowadays when a product/brand out performs.
Neutrogena Norwegian
Hand Cream is the best example of “Under Promise….Over Deliver”. This is my
first hand cream that I tried. I got it last year and I must say that I am
happy with this one.
Yours hands reflect
your age as the skin is sensitive. One can make out a person’s age by looking
at his/her hand. Our hands go through many ordeals in a day. Majorly they are
exposed to harmful UV rays, at home they are constantly under water either for
washing utensils, your clothes, mopping your floor, cooking food and so on.
Those poor hands of
yours are one of the neglected parts of your body.
I have always loved the
concept of “hand cream” but was too lazy enough to make it a part of my daily
routine. One day I just made myself buy a hand cream. When I had ample of time
to do research on the “hand cream” market on various websites I came across
this product.
Mind you…The
packaging will not attract you because it is just plain white packaging.
Nothing worth mentioning!!! But I still went ahead with this product because it
comes from “Neutrogena” kitty.
A safe bet !!!
Neutrogena is famous
for it’s skin care range so I was rest assured about the quality. Still to be
on a safer side, I first thought of trying something simple. So hand cream it
was!!!

Best hand creams are
those when applied do not lead to slipping down your pen while writing. I have
faced this problem and that is why I always avoided hand creams all my life.
Well because of this my hands were left completely shriveled.
How can I be so
brutal towards one of the most important body part?
When I ordered this
product I thought it would be creamier like the other creams. But I was in for a rude shock. It resembles just like a Vaseline Jelly. Infact it is a lot thicker
than it. I agree I was a tad disappointed with respect to its texture. But as I
had purchased it, I had no option but to try it.
And lo! Behold!
My first application
in itself changed my mind set.
It is a cute tube.
The opening is quite small, so be rest assured there won’t be any spillover.
It is a product from Johnson and Johnson and it sure is very delicate on your
skin.
I apply it every
night before I go to sleep. I recommend you all to use it at night because this
cream tends be sticky/greasy and it becomes difficult to do any work after that
until it is completely absorbed.
On application your
hand looks shinier and smoother. Infact even after a good 7 hours sleep, the
effect remains intact. Isn’t it wonderful?
The tube doesn’t get
over soon. It promises over 200 applications which is a killer steal for Rs.
300.
When you apply it on
your hand and rub it you will see that it smudges into white colour. You got to
continuously rub it till it gets absorbed into your skin. This cream provides a
great cushion to your hands. It acts as an active barrier from dryness and
chapped hands.
There are brownie
points to this product. It can also be used on dry elbows, dry heels, lips (I
do not use it on lips as it contains Parabens) and wherever you feel your body
has dried up.
I am not much into
manicures and pedicures (I don’t know why J
) So for me hand creams and foot creams play a very important role.
This cream has a very
light fragrance so for all you people who are averse to strong fragrance….this
product is the one for you…

What
I like about the product?
- Works
amazingly on dry areas of your body
- Moisturizes
your hand very well. Makes them smoother and shinier
- Can be
used on dry elbows, heels as well as lips
- Easy to
carry
- Light fragrance
- Cute tube
- Good
pricing….for few Rs 300 would be taxing but the kind of quality the
product has…it is absolutely worth it)
- No
spillover as the cap is strong enough and the cream outlet is very small.
Also the cream is thicker
What I don’t
like about the product?
- Tends to
be greasy…that’s why I use it only at night before I go to sleep.
- Paraben
is an ingredient so I suggest not using this cream on your lips.
My Ratings:
4 out of 5
I
will definitely purchase this. Infact I have already bought my second tube.
P.S. When you feel your tube is all light and the
cream is over…do not throw the tube. Cut the tube because I am sure you will
find loads of cream in it that will last for another 10-15 days.
Hope you liked the review. Do try this product.
Will meet you soon with another product review...
XOXO
