I got a sample of this about a year ago. I tried it on the back of my hand and I felt it was too greasy even as a hand cream. I didn’t know what to use it for so I just put it away, and I kept wondering why so many people recommended it on magazines.
I thought of it a couple of days ago when my L’Occitane nail and cuticle cream was running out and when my Dior nail cream was no longer good enough for this cold weather. I have been putting it on before I went to bed for a couple of days and I am amazed with the result. My cuticles look moisturized despite the daily housework, and I think it might be even better than the L’Occitane one, which I have been using for the past two years.
I am seriously thinking about buying a full-size one (50ml) when the 5ml sample runs out. It costs 19 pounds in the UK, which I thought was fine. (It is cheaper than the 15-pound 30ml limited edition, in a small glass jar, which will be out soon.) However, I almost fell off my chair when I found out that it only costs $16 in the US. I am aware that American brands, like Clinique and Estee Lauder, are more expensive in EU, but not like this! It is more than doubled here!
But a 50ml “cuticle cream” for me will last for ages…so I will just have to get it for myself……

If you like the cream, you should try 8hr stick, originally made for lip application, looks just like a lipstick, with no color, but has the same uses as the tubed cream. It will cost you less, and may even be more useful in the long run.
By the way, don’t feel bad, over here in th4e US, we pay SO much more for Euro brands.
I haven’t tried the 8hr stick and I’ll be interested.
Well, for some European brands, we still pay more here. Like the new Dior Flight palette, it is 55 USD in the US, but it is about 68 USD in the UK…
