The
product was well packaged, the design attractive and the quality of the hand
cream was high. Lovely classic green and white which, though simple, looked
classy. I particularly liked the fact that the tube has a click open catch
which prevents accidental leaks and also that annoying breakage of nails when
snapping open some lids. Instructions are simple, practical and to be honest,
for a hand cream, not a lot is really needed. Does not say how or when to apply
on product, but then it doesn’t need to. Hands definitely felt softer after
using the product, which is light and very easily absorbed. The fresh fragrance
is lovely although the lime can slightly overwhelm the bergamot scent. High
quality in both packaging and content, the design of the bottle has been
carefully thought out and the open catch helps with one handed opening of the
bottle for busy mums! The hand cream is light and easily absorbed with a
distinctive smell, it has the advantage of not being heavy or greasy like many
hand creams, as a result it doesn’t leave any residue or make hands feel tacky.
I would definitely recommend. Although it is more expensive than many hand
creams it is light and therefore a little goes a long way. I also found that I
did not feel as much need to reapply as frequently as I would normally, due to
the fact that the hand cream is absorbed straight away and did not leave a
tacky residue. I would definitely
purchase this. I would certainly
recommend. This product arrived well
packaged and well designed. It is a lovely product to use and would make a
great high quality gift if it came with two or three other skincare items. I
would definitely use this again and loved the fact that the bottle can be
opened with one hand. This will help when baby arrives in a few weeks. I also
liked the fact that it is a small enough tube for handbags. It has sat on my
desk at work for a few weeks now and has had a lot of use. Great product, good
value. Elizabeth Anne Berry

The
product was well packaged with a personal note which I thought was very nice.
The green packaging of the product is fairly basic. The smell on initial use
was very pleasant, reminded me of childhood sweets. The product was nice to use.
Packing was fairly basic. I personally prefer a hand cream with a pump, however
this is personal preference. Instructions simple and clear. The products did feel very nice on my hands,
it didn’t leave a greasy residue and was very pleasant smelling. I wouldn’t say
they look any more ‘youthful’ but it’s very nice to use. I like that the
company is natural and cruelty free. It is more expensive than a standard shop
bought hand cream however there is a premium for the natural and cruelty free
element. On the whole I feel that is product is fair value for money. I would
consider purchasing this. If I was aware
that someone was interested in the ethics of the company, I wouldn’t necessarily
recommend to everybody. Very nice product, the smell is particularly appealing.
Feels lovely to use and makes hands soft without a residue. The price point is
good for the natural and cruelty free element, however I don’t think everybody
is willing to pay £12 for a hand cream. I think that the packaging could be
made a little more glamourous for the price.Laura Pearce

Outer
packaging nice, main product purpose obvious from look though looks dated to
me. Outer packaging reasonable but main product look reminds me of the 70s. Claims
consistent with other creams especially on defying skin aging, nice to read
ingredients but not sure I would bother with the NCI version. Very greasy cream
best used at night before sleeping. Softens hands ok. Lovely smell indicative
of quality product. Personally I feel too
expensive but maybe consistent with market for a quality hand cream. The
cream has a very pleasant fresh lemon smell and is a nice change from being
just perfumed this is its biggest selling point. Definitely a night cream owing
to its greasiness but some creams can be like this. Worst point would be its
70s appearance for me would stop me purchasing it in the first place. The
colour green kind of fits with its smell but otherwise plain and boring. The
use of the word ‘superfood’ does make you think it is something special. Ali
