Long lasting effect

The best hand cream I’ve ever used. I have extremely dry hands during winter as they don’t really tolerate the cold weather and the redness is even worse after using all the hand disinfectants and surgical scrub soaps. This hand cream saved my hands and the hydration effect last for days. As a medical doctor and after many hand creams that I’ve tried, this one is by far the best.

The ingredients are also something I always look at for any product I applied on my skin.

Pestle and Mortar is an incredibly clean brand.

The BEST hand cream you’ll ever use!

The skin on my hands has always been sensitive and since covid I’ve been an over washed when it comes to my hands! So much so that the skin on my hands would be extremely red, dry and cut in places. I tried every moisturiser and nothing worked until I tried this! My hands completely healed up in less than a week of wearing. I still apply daily and my hands are finally back to normal! I will never be without this moisturiser again, it’s amazing!

HAND ECZEMA: Dramatic but genuinely this is the first liquid hand wash I have totally fallen in love with

Dramatic but genuinely this is the first liquid hand wash I have totally fallen in love with, my eczema is worst on my hands and this has legit been a game-changer for me & the hand cream is better than most moisturizers I’ve used !! Love that I can use this product even when my skin is flaring and it’s still as gentle & as soft as ever!

Eczema on my hands cleared in less than a week!

I started using the Essentials hand cream, as my hands broke out in patches of Eczema. My skin was dry, flaky and the crease of my wrist was very red. Overuse of sanitiser caused this so I decided to use this hand cream based on other people’s recommendations. I was delighted to see improvement in less than a week. It’s super nourishing and I will definitely repurchase!!

FAQs

Will the Hand Cream leave my hands feeling greasy or sticky?
Highly absorbent and lightweight, the Hand Cream sinks straight in and gets to work without leaving any greasy residue.

Why do I need to use a hand cream?
Frequent handwashing, cold weather, and indoor heating are some of the factors that lead to dry, calloused, irritated skin on hands. Using a hand cream after every wash keeps skin soft, hydrated and moisturised.

What’s the difference between hand cream and hand lotion?
Hand lotions are great for short-term hydration whereas hand creams are perfect if you’re looking for intense hydration that will treat and prevent very dry skin conditions.
