It leaves my hands soft without being sticky or greasy. It does the job well, my hands before using the handmade were dry and chapped. handmade cleared up that problem. The best part is the scent. It smells like soft, sweet lemons. Not a harsh or tangy lemon smell like , say, verbena. The scent isn't overpowering either like Burt's Bees almond hand cream, it's more subtle than that. Next time I'm going to buy the large jar!

The fragrance is heavenly and the product does not feel greasy. I like to apply it while my hands are still moist.

I came here to rant about this hand creme and see someone else has beat me to it. This is the first Philosophy product that has let me down and let me down in a big way. The creme is light and feels good, but it doesn't look or feel like it goes on or absorbs well at all. After it's applied it glistens, and I'm constantly noticing areas that lack that effect and looks dry, so I find myself constantly reapplying it. And now after a week and a half of daily use it's half gone. I didn't have this problem with L'Occitane so I guess I'll go back to that unless I find something better.

I have many Philosophy products and have been overall very happy with the quality and value. This one disappointed miserably. I am a nursing student and wash my hands often. This handcream doesn't go very far at all and I was out by the end of the second day. Washed right off too so if you wash your hands a lot like I do this one's not for you.

If I was Oprah, this would be on my "Favorites" list!

I received this as a sample with another Philosophy product. I used the sample and am here to buy 2 more tubes. The scent is heavenly - smells like lemon custard - a soft lemon, not strong at all. It does a great job moisturizing your hands, and is not greasy. I put it on at night and my hands still feel soft after my shower in the AM. Highly recommend it! :)

I love the light lemon scent. And even better is the fact that this does not leave my fingers all greasy when I apply it. It melts right into my skin! I love shea butter and I like to find new products with shea butter in them. I also dab it on blemishes and it soothes them and they clear up more quickly.

I just received this lotion. It is ok...i wouldnt say its amazing. the tube is so small {for $10.00} I had to make sure that it wasnt just a sample bottle. I think it should last me about 2-4 days at the most. the smell is lemon and light.....nothing great. If you want to try a great hand and body lotion that is not at all greasy and very light weight try body drench!!!!! the lotion is great and you could buy it {on amazon} for $8.95 and its a big bottle and will last you forever. It is even great as a facial moisturizer and the scent is very light and nice. I would not reorder this stuff again.

Will buy again once I run out. Very nice, gentle fragrance even for allergy prone individuals like myself.

I needed a good handcream that would leave my hands feeling soft and not rough, so I purchased this little bottle in hopes it would do the trick.

I'm actually very disappointed with this handcream. It is rather greasy and almost sticky feeling. From the picture I assumed a normal handcream with maybe a mild scent, but my bottle came labled as being "Handmade Lemon Custard Hand Cream". While the scent was delicious (and made me crave Lemon Bars...), the product itself left me rather disheartened. Even twenty minutes after thoroughly rubbing in the product, my hands are still greasy feeling.

Perhaps it is back to the drawing board for philosophy on this one...

This is my moms favorite lotion, so I bought it to try it out. It just seems like regular over priced lotion to me. Ill stick with Bath and body works
