5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the Best, October 23, 2008

This review is from: L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream (Shea Butter 20%) Dry Skin 150ml/5.2oz Tube (Health and Beauty)

I'm a caregiver, and the frequent hand washing and sanitizing made my skin rough and painfully cracked, but this cream made my hands soft again.
I am a big fan of a bargain and I've tried Neutrogena Norwegian formula, Vaseline Intensive Care, Jergens, Curel, Lubriderm, Eucerin, Aveeno and other common brands, but the L'Occitane just worked better.

Pros of the L'Occitane cream:
1. Moisturizes super effectively.
2. Absorbs well without lots of greasiness.
3. Fragrance is pleasant and not too strong.

Cons:
1. Price.
2. Lack of UV protection.

The only other hand cream that worked about as well was Ahava (also a gift and also very expensive).

If you can't get the L'Occitane, then the closest inexpensive alternatives include:
Eucerin Calming Cream is very rich and non-greasy (it comes fragrance free and is in a nice, large tube) and
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula (also greasier but available in fragrance free version) or Norwegian Formula FAST ABSORBING Hand Cream.

This is the best hand cream I have ever used. You only need to apply it once in the morning, its so rich that makes your skin soft.

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.
