My Comment:

Only started to use this for 4 months

and since, my hand has never had any major peels and does not feel dry.

I'm not a fan of creams because i dislike the fact that it makes my hand oily

and everything i touch turns oily.

but this cream absorbs into my skin pretty fast and did not leave an oily layer.

The cream smells really good.

I've never used a hand cream constantly for more than 2 weeks.

and this is the only hand cream that i've been using regularly for 4 months now

and has proven to work for my dry and eczema-fied hands.

i'm happy =D

Price Range: RM80+ (150ml)

My Comment:

I got this after i found that the shea butter hand cream was useful

and the hand cream only had 20% of the Shea Butter.

Hence, i was pretty curious about how true the benefits of this Shea Butter was as written on the website.

hence i got 2 of this 8ml 100% Pure Shea Butter and experimented on myself.

When i first got it,

i wasn't quite used to the smell of it but got used to it really quickly.

i was quite reluctant to apply oil onto my skin

as i was afraid that it will be extremely oily and all.

but nope,

the Shea butter melted quickly in my palms

and shortly after application,

it absorbs into my skin and doesn't feel oily

=D

i've had rough and tough skins on my hands

(due to the way i hold my pen :P i use quite a lot of force)

which i've been applying constantly on for about 3 weeks.

and it has successfully soften my tough skin!!

I'm also using it on the scar on my knee

this one takes time but it's noticeable that it's slowly fading :)

I've tried it on Mosquito bites i get from studying in the Kitchen at night which is

just next to the Garden.

(owh the mosquitoes :P)

it soothes the itch and stops itching almost immediately

(prevent scars from scratching :))

Also tried this on cuts.

wow. it really speeds up healing.

i'm seriously amazed with this.

and i'm not exaggerating.

Use it and you'll know :)

i'm a living experiment :P heh.

and i NEVER promote things that i don't trust or believe in.

especially cosmetics!

i never believe in cosmetics until i met L'Occitane :P
