Review : The Body Shop Almond Hand and Nail Cream



Product Description
This effective daily hand cream cares for nails as well as hands and contains two manicurist’s essentials: sweet almond oil and panthenol.

Most hand creams just doesn't deliver and this is the worse of the lot. I brought the 30ml of The Body Shop Almond Hand and Nail Cream to my last vacation and under the winter condition, this hand cream just doesn't work at all. Period.

The full new product seems to contain too much in its little tube, so when you twist open the lid, the contents oozes out, making a mess.
In its pliable aluminum tube form, where the tube gets out of shape from all the depressions, it gets worse when the sides tore and contents oozes out from the sides instead of just from the cap. Not a travel-friendly companion at all. How can I throw such poorly made product into my bag, knowing that the hand cream will get smeared around in my bag pockets?

While the hand cream has a slight almond scent, with a light creamy texture, the product is hardly moisturizing at all. It gets absorbed into the skin into nothingness and I tend to re-apply multiple times.
