Summary: The best hand cream I ever used! 2010-03-11
Comment: If you love fresh-smelling, non-greasy hand creams that leave your hands feeling fantastic, then you will love this hand cream! My hands feel great after I use it - nice and soft - and takes the winter chap off my hands beautifully. It's worth every penny!
Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: I will purchase this again! 2010-03-10
Comment: I like this cream. It's non-greasy, fast absorbing and my hands improved after using this. The small size ($10) is a perfect tube to have in my purse at all times and it smells pleasant. I will definitely purchase this again.

Summary: Not worth the money 2010-02-02
Comment: Works OK but not worth money especially in winter. Sephora and other good brands are a better bargain.
Love the Lotion and Soap though.

Summary: Worth the Price if You Can Afford It 2009-12-09
Comment: I'm a caregiver, and the frequent hand washing along with alcohol-based sanitizers made my skin rough and painfully cracked, sometimes until bleeding. But this cream when applied after each washing helped make my hands soft again.

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 for me was Ahava (also very expensive).

I've also tried Neutrogena Norwegian formula, Vaseline Intensive Care, Jergens, Curel, Lubriderm, Eucerin, Aveeno and other common brands.

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

Another alternative is to get some pure shea butter or Aquaphor, smooth a bit on the spots that need special treatment (especially around the nails to prevent hangnails or on cracked knuckles) and then follow up with your current favorite moisturizer.
