I love pampering my hands in the air-conditioned office and usually kept one in my bag and on my office desk. I picked this up during last Xmas and is now in my last 3rd tube.

Hearing this, you would have thought that I love this to bits but no, I was just trying to use up all my 3 tubes before giving it a verdict that it truly does not work for me. 

This is the worst hand cream I ever used from Crabtree and Evelyn Hand Therapy range. 

The scent is pretty unique, considering that its a mixture of a blend of briar roses, bergamot, fresh greens, amber and vanilla. Its bearable but I wouldn't describe it as a scent I like because I was expecting my hand cream to smell even nicer than this. 

White in colour, the texture is light, yet is able to leave a light coating of greasy film on the hands once applied. I presume its supposed to be a layer of moisturising veil to keep my hands well-moisturised but sadly, it does not work that way on my hands. In fact, my hands seemed to turn drier after every use.  

Key Ingredients :
Shea butter (moisturizing, conditioning), lavender oil (soothing) bisabolol / chamomile (soothing), allantoin (anti-irritant), glycerin (moisturizer), Vitamin E (anti-oxidant)

Crabtree & Evelyn Gardners Hand Therapy is a shea-butter rich formula hand cream which contains shea butter as well as extracts of yarrow, clover and calendula to help soothe and condition work-roughened hands.

Main functions : Soothes, conditions and restores softness
Scent: Fresh green clover, lavender, sage rosemary and thyme.

I bought the 3 in a pack during the last Christmas season together with the lavender pack as well and have been using it after finishing the lavender hand cream ( read my review ).

Compared to the lavender hand cream, its not as light or mild yet its also not that heavy.
It keeps my hands moisturised but only for a short while and I still need to reapply after every 1 hour or so.

As with all Crabtree and Evelyn hand creams, it does not leave any greasy after-feel or prints all over.

Its a best-seller in some websites, coupled with rave reviews.
After reviewing all 4 hand creams, I will say, I prefer either the rose or this hand cream. For now, I will stick to both of these, till I find a better one out there.

Main Ingredients :
glycerin (moisturizing), shea butter (conditioning, emollient), clover (deodorizing), bisabolol from chamomile (soothing)
