I was having itchy, red dry hands and the dermatologist tried me on a bunch of medicines. Nothing worked. Within days of using this handcreme, my hands smoothed out and soothed out. I use it every night and have for years. I write a review so that more people will buy it and Burt's Bees won't even consider ever taking this product off the market!

I love this stuff, I've been using it for years. Its the only non steroidal product that actually helps to control the hereditary eczema that I have on my hands. When I'm not using it I always have bumps and itchy skin, when I do my bumps are gone and my hands are silky soft. That said, this is probably not the cream for everyone. Some may find it greasy as it does take a little while to soak in and during that time period you cannot touch anything. The smell is also very strong, the almond smell is so strong and sweet smelling that it reminds me of cherry candy. It is a very thick cream so may be best suited for those with very dry hands or eczema problems like mine. None of the cons bother me enough to stop using it.

I bought the 2-pack thinking I would love Burt's Bee's beeswax hand creme, but alas, unlike the other raving reviewers, I found the creme to leave too much residue on my hands. it's impossible to DO anything after applying it, as it wipes off on everything (smudges on keyboard and everything else you choose to touch). I guess I just am too busy to wait while the stuff absorbs. Also, I don't have any medical condition, just dry hands. Maybe it's "too much" for a little winter dry hand.
On the upside, it does have a nice smell and I like the jar it comes in, easy to grab as much or as little of the stuff as you want. If you apply it right before you go to bed it works well overnight, but beware of rubbing it off onto your sheets.

I love this handcream. I was getting very dried out hands from constant handwashing that even my intensive hand creams that I had wouldn't touch - rough, raised spots that were cracking and painful. I bought this on a whim, since I've liked most things Burt's Bees has done, but I was a bit nervous about the 'beeswax' part, thinking it might be a more solid jar of cream like some cocoa butter formulations I've had from other companies. Not this, this is smooth as silk, and a little dab will do you, so the jar goes a long way! A few days later and my rough spots are almost gone and I love the sweet scent. I am thinking of buying some for my mom for Christmas.

I love this product. I use it at night while I sleep to make my hands soft. I like the almond smell and I appreciate the social justice issues addressed by the company.

I love this hand cream. It lasts forever and it has a subtle dreamy smell. I love going to sleep each night with the smell of this cream on my hands. I also gave this item as teacher's gift during the Minnesota winter and it was a hit! Highly recommended!

I have very dry hands. Actually, right around wherever I put my rings, it gets so dry it gets cracked and is very painful. I used this hand creme (after trying other products that did not work) and my cracked fingers aren't cracked anymore and my hands are actually beginning to feel smooth! Great product. Yes it's greasy, but I'll take that over having cracked hands any day. Plus, it smells fantastic!!

I think this one of the best hand creams I've used. My hands get really dry from doing daily chores and such and this cream the stuff my hands thirst for! It smells good, feels great going on and once it's rubbed in leaves no greasy feeling. I have even used it on my feet and it's wonderful! Takes care of all the roughness and makes my skin feel great! Wonderful product!!
