I was initially not too keen on the scent, but it doesn’t last too long and after a few days I didn’t mind it. The balm is so effective, however, that it is definitely worth using and I have bought several deliveries of it.
Love love love this product.
Lasts for ages so we’ll worth the money.
Yes it’s greasy but I use it on my hands then wash them I also use on my feet then I just bob some socks on.
BUY IT
I like to slather this on my hands while watching a tv show. It sits on the skin so not a moisturiser you can really use on the go. But, I find this is the only thing that helps when the skin on my hands gets cracked and sore from the cold.
My hands are very dry snd sore therefore I decided to try Burt’s Bees. I put it on at night and the next day my hands are soft. Would recommend this product and I like the fact that it’s all natural with no nasty additives.
Been using it for a while. I get extremely dry skin over the winter period (to the point my skin cracks and bleeds). Even if I forget to use this for 3/4 days and it gets really bad the salve being put on overnight really makes my dry hands as good as new. Only thing is I feel it washes off if you wash hands (in covid it’s not helpful) but one application a night really sorts you out.
I use a lot of hand cream as I’m forever washing my hands and they get very dry if cream isn’t applied afterwards. I love the lavender scent of this balm although the smell soon disappears once applied .
I find the balm hard to apply as it’s quite solid; probably easier to apply if you have warm hands but as mine are always cold so this is a moot point. It is quite greasy too so I usually apply it at bedtime and this works well.. My hands are nice and soft in the morning. I’ve yet to decide if I would buy it again.
I have purchased this product over the years. I continue to buy it for its germ busting properties. Even though these aren’t advertised as such – it’s a well known fact that eucalyptus and rosemary are good in combating germs! I used to use this regularly on my hands before cleaning.
It is sticky but rubs in well although it will leave a residual feeling to the surface of your hands – this personally doesn’t bother me as I am using it more for a protective barrier to my skin.
The smell is quite strong but pleasant – although this will be down to personal preference. It is a natural smell not artificially overpowering.
I personally am very sensitive to artificial ingredients and fragrances and I get along really well with this particular product.
It comes in a handy tin which I do find a little awkward to get the lid of – I tend to use my nails to seperate the lid from the container itself.
I bought this when the skin on my knuckles started cracking with the additional Covid-inspired handwashing.
As one might expect from this company, it is a firm, wax like product, perhaps like very hard vaseline, rather thana lotion.
The main plus is that it absolutely does its job. I use it before going to sleep at night and when I wake up in the morning, and the soreness and cracking round my knuckles has gone.
Also it helps that it doesn’t leave me smelling like a tart’s window-box. If there is any aroma, it is a slight citrusy, citronella type smell.
The down side is that it really takes some Rubbing in if you want to avoid a residual greasiness.
Overall, it’s a good product, I like it.
My hands are in a terrible state – almost in tatters; dry, cracked skin on my knuckles and split skin on my thumb. I am always trying different ointments and handcreams but they never quite do the job. I’ve only just started using this but it’s so soothing and I can already see an improvement. The lavender fragrance is lovely – lavender always seems quite a nostalgic scent to me. I’m going to buy some cotton gloves to wear in bed after slathering this on my hands. It’s lovely, I will definitely buy it again.
Saw this recommenced for cracked and dry hands on a couple of different sites so found it on amazon. Was then initially put off by so many reviews complaining about the smell. From most the comments you expect some vomit inducing aroma to hit your nose on use! Anyway my hands have been so badly cracked and dry lately to the extent they were bleeding so I decided to brave the smell and try it and I am so glad I did. For a start there is nothing wrong with the smell. It’s gentle and actually quite subtle and while it probably wouldn’t be a reason to attract me to it at the same time it’s not bad at all and wouldn’t put me off. Then for the important thing – the results. I’ve been using it for 3 days now and my hands are well in the way to being fully healed. Even the largest cracks that were bleeding before are now healing and no longer bleeding. Can not recommend this product enough and I’ll definitely be using it regularly now.
As a hand salve, which this product actually is (although it is amazing for my ears!), I have found it has helped protect and toughen my skin. I work in a factory environment and despite wearing gloves my hands have developed blisters. The hand salve has helped soften the blisters and helped the skin beneath them heal and toughen quickly.
To add to what may be the best hand cream I’ve ever used, as far as I’m aware the ingredients are predominantly – if not completely – natural. This is particularly reassuring for me as I have been using this salve on damaged skin and I would hate to think that I’ve been putting any unpleasant chemicals into my body.
Fantastic product, smells amazing, works quickly! Have recommended to many friends and I carry it with me everywhere!
Edit: If it was possible to push this up to six stars, I would.
So recently I have stretched my ears to (a rather unassuming) 10mm. The stretch went fine, no issues there and it was painless; no tears, no blood or pus – great. The issue came a few days later when I notice the skin on the back of my ear had gone strange (something called a blow out – Google it!)
I diligently did salt water soaks and massaged with this as much as I could to encourage the skin on my ears to not be blown out! I did everything but downsize – though I did leave my plugs out for an hour or so on a morning.
We are now about three weeks after I first noticed the blow out and my ear feels so much healthier! The blow out has shrank and is now unnoticeable to others even without plugs in. I can still feel it but I guess I’m more aware of it. I’m keeping up with regular breathing time, massaging my lobes and letting the salve soak into my plugs before putting them back in my ears and this all seems to be working!
(I just thought I’d add that in, for others who may be using this to stretch their ears.)
This hand salve will battle that dryness very quickly! I normally apply before I go to sleep and wake up to find my hands almost miraculously restored.
The only negative I can point out is that it is VERY oily. Unless you spend your days rarely touching anything I would advise planning to use it in the evenings / before bed. It does soak in but it takes a while and leaves an oily residue on whatever you touch.
