Your hands go through a lot, what will all the wood-chopping, brush-clearing, and lion-taming you do on a daily basis. That's why you need an intense hand cream to get them back in working (read: non-gross) order. This mineral-enriched formula does the trick and then some, healing sensitive skin, cracked fingers, and more. Plus, it sinks in immediately with no residue.
I say this as someone who lives in New England, works outside all day for a living, and uses their hands A LOT- that this is the best moisturizer I have ever come across. Nothing works on dry cracked skin better- both my husband and I are OBSESSED with this product and I give it away as gifts to people its so great!
5This hand cream is amazing! I have dry hands and have tried SO many different creams with not much luck. I recently traveled to Isreal and went to the Ahava store but did not purchase anything. I had points to spend on Birchbox and decided to go ahead and give the brand a try. I am so glad I did! The hand cream is thick but quickly turned silky smooth as I rubbed it in, there is a noticeable change to my hands within a few days. Now I just need another tube to keep at work! I do wish there was a travel size that I could keep in my purse, or a way to purchase the sample size.
5This is a great product, I applied way to much the first time but I kept rubbing it in and in, finally there was no oily residue. I now know the correct amount and within a few seconds of rubbing the product around my hands there is no residue and they are left moisturized. I do no enjoy the original scent it leaves, but it does fade away shortly. We are constantly using our hands why not take care of them?
4I try 4 or 5 different hand creams every year, always searching for something better. My hands are always dry, the skin wrinkled, and the skin on my knuckles often cracked. With the first use I felt relief. By the second day my hands appeared visibly younger, by the third day the skin on the knuckles was no longer cracked. The cream leaves no greasy after-feeling and is very soothing. The only downside is the odor - it reminds me of insect repellent. But the odor fades within 5 - 10 minutes of application, so it's worth it.
5In general, Ahava products are wonderful. Loved the smell of the hand cream so much that I bought my sister and "ahava" sample set with hand cream, foot cream, etc. Her hands are cracked from washing too much (she does OT in a hospital), and mine are simply dry from overuse (bureaucrat). I'd recommend getting a smaller size to see if the smell appeals to you, though. I love the smell, but it would easily overpower any perfume I'd wear, hence I use the hand cream only at night.
