Product Description
A protective and soothing hand cream enriched with Shea Butter and Aloe-Vera to protect, relax and calm the skin. SLS and Paraben Free.
I always have a hand cream in my bag because of my perpetually dry hands due to air-conditioned office, washing and now with the over-used hand sanitiser ( because of COVID-19 ). Like eye creams, its an uphill struggle to find a hand cream that moisturise my hands deeply.
Made in Israel, Sabon is a UK brand making Skin, Hair and Bodycare products ranging from facial care, bath and shower products, hair care and hand and foot products.
I have previously used Sabon Delicate Jasmine Hand Cream but isn't too fond of the scent and tried Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Dead Sea Body Scrub where the scent is such a hit!
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Sabon Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Hand Cream 50ml comes in a pliable tube that gets ugly with long time use. It has a simple luxe vibe to it and the pretty box packaging makes it such a feminine gift for girlfriends.
Similar to the scent used in Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Dead Sea Body Scrub, I simply loved it so much. It has this soothing scent which makes one happy just thinking about it, definitely much needed in this unpredictable COVID-19 situation.
The lightweight buttery formula is white in colour and non-greasy.
Performance and Ingredients
Sabon Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Hand Cream is light in texture and readily absorbed into hands easily without any greasy after-feel. I adored the scent and don't mind reapplication, however, they are just great as a daily maintenance but not really for severely dry skin or as emergency use and definitely not made for winter weather.
One weird observation is that the packaging states that the expiry is in July 2020 ( on sticker ) but on the tube ( printed ), its stated as January 2020. Do they do that intentionally, thinking the hand cream can actually last 6 months after expiry date or just a genuine mistake? That said, most people would have believe the packaging and won't open it to check on the tube, since technically, everything should tally. Definitely not a nice experience!
I started using the hand cream in January and while I am not overly concerned about the soon-to-be expired hand cream, I do wonder if the effects would be compromised.

Conclusion
To conclude, Sabon Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Hand Cream is a decent hand cream with a heavenly scent for daily maintenance but not for someone with perpetually dry hands.
