No7Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Nourishing Hand and Nail Cream - Anti Aging Hand Cream with Vitamin B5 - Contains Matrixyl 3000+ Collagen Peptide Anti Wrinkle Technology (75 ml)

After having spent much more money on expensive hand creams (Aesop, First Aid Beauty, Necessaire, etc.), I can say that for me, this No. 7 product is the best and most effective I've tried so far. The search is officially over. Who knew that the Boots of my English childhood would put out a line of such well-regarded skincare products? This is the first No. 7 product I've tried since I was in my teens, and though it's only been a bit over a week since I started using it, the back of my hands look smoother (though I can't yet speak to its longer term anti-aging effects), and over all, my hands feel well moisturized, without any greasiness. And the claims that it's still effective after hand washing is true -- you won't notice any residue, but after washing my hands, they don't feel like they need another immediate application of the cream.Unlike every other hand cream/lotion I've used over the years, I can actually apply this cream, wait just a couple of moments for it to absorb, and not have to wipe off my fingers for fear of glopping up my keyboard or anything else I touch afterward. Also, because I don't have to wipe my fingertips with a tissue after applying, I'm not removing the product, and my formerly dry/peeling fingertips are now smooth and no longer peeling after just two applications a day for the past several days.The cream consistency is luxurious, but not too thick, so it's easy to apply, absorbs quickly and massages easily into cuticles. I've never had an issue with weak nails, so I was surprised to discover that this cream has apparently made mine seem stronger, and as a bonus, my nails have a subtle sheen to them, as if I'd used a nail buffer. Also, my cuticles have never looked better, with no need (so far) to use a separate cuticle cream, making this already reasonably-priced product a great value. Though I don't love the scent, it doesn't linger very long, and isn't off-putting, so I'll definitely be ordering this again, and for as long as it's available.

It really does smooth out my aging hands and terrible cuticles. And, it has not affected my sensitive skin at all.

My hands felt softer the morning after the first use but keep in mind it has a very strong scent which may be off-putting. I don't personally care for the scent so I will only use this product before bed.

This is to good to be true!

Excellent product, my hands and fingernails are better after 1 week

Great hand cream. Not greasy

I haven't used this long enough to speak to it's skin benefits, but the scent is so strong I would not purchase again.

Love this
