Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream Reviews

Review of Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream
By Elizabeth B.

Packaging: Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream is contained in a recyclable aluminium recyclable tube. I like this form of packaging because it is reducible in size as you use up the product. I would also point out that I the tube has not broken on the creases (as happens with some metal packaging) meaning it is safe to keep in your bag.

Application: The Jurlique hand cream is very moisturising. I have experimented with how much to apply and have found that less is best – this way the product sinks in faster with less stickiness. The consistency is almost like a light balm rather than fluid lotion. A minute or so after application there is little residue remaining and hands feel satiny smooth. However, it may not sink in quite fast enough if you are on the move, for this reason I have tended to keep the Jurlique Lavender hand cream on my bedside table for use as a restorative overnight treatment. Unfortunately I am not keen on the lavender smell, which is relatively strong. However, Jurlique also offer Rose and Citrus versions that I imagine would be more suited to my taste.

Ingredients: Jurlique use bio-dynamically farmed ingredients and base their company on values of authenticity and sustainability. The hand cream notes particular use of lavender, calendula and viola.

Results: Hands feel smooth and supple after using the Jurlique Lavender soothing hand cream. Cuticles are also softened however I have still felt the need to apply a separate nail and cuticle product. The Jurlique Lavender hand cream is very calming and in addition to improving the texture of skin it also improves the tone - dryness and redness are both improved.

Pros: Soothing, gentle and calming.
Moisturises skin on the hands and also softens cuticles.
Very little of Jurlique Lavender hand cream is needed for an effective result.

Cons: Jurlique Lavender hand cream soothing takes a little longer than some hand creams to sink in.
The fragrance - however this is such a personal preference and some may love it.
