I learned about this brand when I won a gift. It's very moisturizing and has a similar moisturizing effect to Vaseline, but it doesn't feel sticky or oily, so I thought it was an easy-to-use hand cream. I'm also interested in their body care series!
It has a slightly firm texture, and leaves your hands feeling smooth when you apply it. It doesn't seem to be particularly effective against chilblains, but with other hand creams, I've noticed that the cream gets on the opening of the tube, but this one doesn't get on the opening of the tube, so it feels clean and nice.
I bought a lipstick at a drugstore and it was super moisturizing. They had a tester so I tried using the hand cream and it was amazing!! It's super moisturizing and great for rough, dry hands! The texture is a little thick so it's best to use a little at a time.
I received this as a gift from Suzykirei some time ago. Thank you. It was so good that I've bought it again. In the winter, the area around my fingernails becomes rough, but rubbing this on my fingertips improves the condition. I feel it's more effective than other hand creams. The texture is a little thick and sticky at first, but it quickly becomes absorbed. It's a winter essential.
Because of my job, I use alcohol disinfectant and handwashing all year round, which causes rough hands, so I use dozens of different hand creams, but this was a hit this year. The good points are that it doesn't sting rough skin, it doesn't get slimy even when wet, it's not too sticky, and the one-touch cap makes it easy to open, so you don't have to worry about dropping the cap! I also use professional hand creams, and the one-touch cap is easy to open, which is the best thing about this one! I'll definitely be buying it again in the future.
