Other than the Covergirl flipstick Bzzagent, this is one of my favorite campaigns to have received. The package included a full sized fragrance free Norwegian hand cream, instructional booklet and 6 sample sizes to hand out. (Which are already gone ! Once I mentioned I was a part of this campaign everyone I knew was willing to give it a try. And I don't blame them.)
Upon opening the box I quickly took a 'before" picture and then eagerly slathered it on. I only needed a dime sized dollop to decently cover my hands, knuckles and around my nail areas. (around my nail areas get really bad !!) The cream itself is a medium-thick clear jelly like consistency which upset me at first. I am not a fan of icky sticky lotions or creams. However, after about a minute or so my skin soaked it right up leaving a nonslick, smooth texture on my hands. I was also pleasantly surprised at how even after washing my hands a couple times they still felt like they had a bit of product on them, not it a yucky way just a good way, if that makes any sense :-)
Now remember I live in Arizona so I plan to use this product year round not just in the winter season since it is so dry ALL the time. To be able to give a proper review of this cream I have been applying it every morning and right before bed. I think I have managed to put it on a couple random times during the day when I remembered or when I started to feel dry. But I have to admit I've found myself getting less and less frustrated with my once itchy dry hands. The jist of it ? I am really liking this product....a lot !!

Here is the back of the package with all the official info you'd need to know about this awesome cream. |

Found here at Target at a much more reasonable price than I expected !!
I say that because for for me being from a such a reputable company like Neutrogena and that fact that it is truly a premium quality product I am glad to see it so reasonably priced !!

The Before: The area around my nails are white scaly and super dry. Plus my knuckles become itchy and ashy from washing my hands all day. It just isn't pretty. I do use another name brand hand and cuticle therapy lotion which seems to help but not protect enough. That lotion seems more like a short term soother than something that is truly beneficial for my skin.
Although I am not ready to post my after picture, I have seen and felt such a remarkable and positive difference in my hands & fingers as a result of using this product. I highly recommend this cream for everyone to use on a daily basis to maintain healthy youthful hands.
( I want to wait a full week of use to properly show you the results - like an experiment haha )
P.S. Bonus tid-bit in the info packet BzzAgent even suggests ditching your usual chap stick and instead use a smidge of this cream to moisturizer your kisser ... hmmm good to know ;-)
Let me know if you have found this review helpful or if you plan to pick up this affordably awesome product!
