Great smelling and leaves hands so soft
Love this hand cream! I can use just a tiny amount and it really softens my hands and covers them. It smells so good too I’m loving the smell so much. A little goes a long ways I feel like and it’s lasted a long time. My favorite hand cream! It just works so well. A lot I’ve tried leave my hands sticky and never seem to fully absorb, and I don’t like being able to feel things on my hands as I’m very sensory. This quickly absorbs fully and still works. It leaves them so soft too without the thickness of others. Great product highly recommend!
