Everyday hand lotion - hand cream discontinued by Evolution of Smooth - review by FemdomLiz

My step-mother and I each bought one of these in Berry and loved using them. We were somewhat disappointed when we had used them up, for reasons both good and bad.

This hand cream is rich and dries completely on skin, leaving hands feeling soft without any sticky, tacky feeling residue. The berry scent smells fairly natural (not too sweet or artificial) and isn't overpowering. The fragrance does last several hours on hands, and with the matching lip balm and a similarly scented body spray, you can extend the overall scent experience for the better part of a day with minimal reapplication.

This product is all natural and paraben-free, BUT it does contain soy ingredients as well as several other common allergens, so if you have sensitive skin or any allergies, I'd check the ingredients before purchasing. You can also test creams on a small patch of skin on the underside of your wrist to spot-test whether or not you'll have an allergic reaction. My step-mother has sensitive skin (though no allergies) and did not experience any reactions herself.

The bottle is small, sleek, and travel-friendly, and the cap snaps shut firmly, so you don't have to worry about it opening up in your bag and wasting your product while ruining your stuff.

However, if you have dry skin or you're applying more than once per day, this small bottle will not last you more than a month. That makes the eight-dollar price tag impractical and undesirable. Now that my bottle is empty, I don't anticipate buying another one even though I enjoyed it. Buying it online is even less practical unless you're already buying a large order and qualify for free shipping, as the shipping fees simply make this product not worth the cost. Buy in stores if you can, especially if you can find a sale.
