Overall Impression

This actually isn’t bad. I was not looking forward to using it as it recommends refrigeration, which I outright ignored. I did not have any issues not refrigerating it, but it only took me a couple of months to use up the entire jar. It also took some adjustment to getting it out of the jar and putting the lid back on with lotion still on my hands. I rarely succeeded in getting the correct amount that I needed. A couple things:

1. It’s a light moisturizer. I never really felt that my hands were fully moisturized, but they were quite soft and better than before application. It’s much nicer than the bottle of Aveeno I have in the kitchen, but it’s also twice as expensive for a fraction of product. The smell is quite nice.
2. I got two of these from two different boxes that were manufactured a day apart. The short shelf life means that at the time of writing I have just over 2 weeks to finish the entire 2nd jar. I really like to make things last, but that’s not really an option with a product like this. Keep that in mind if purchasing.

I would recommend, but as it’s an expensive product that you have to special order, I likely will not purchase.
