Description:
- For those who want youthful looking hands via the use of glycolic and salicylic acids.
- Improves the skin’s texture.
- Those with rough skin on the hands (I have been using this on my feet).
DO NOT USE ON SENSITIVE/PEELING SKIN (it will burn – I learnt the hard way). And because this contains acids, you must use sunscreen in the day time.

The fragrance is strong. I’m not a fan of it. I was able to continue using because I wasn’t putting it on my face.
Texture:
Thick, smooth – rubs into the skin and soaks in SO QUICKLY. Excellent for those who can’t stand waiting for creams to dry.
Overall:
I ended up using this cream on my feet. I used it more as a rejuvenating foot cream because I developed sensitivity on my hand and could therefore not use any acids (not just this product) on my hands. I really liked using this on my feet as a way to soften the dead skin cells (due to the AHA) and also hydrate my feet. I used this cream as a foot-mask 2-3 times a week and found that it did help reduce the lines on my feet.
I really like the idea of a cream that has added benefits than just hydration. The addition of acids elevates it from a typical moisturising cream, to a cream that will actually smoothen the skin out and retexturize. I think it is good, but it does mean you have to wear sunscreen AND you cannot have broken/sensitive or easily irritated skin or this will burn. If you can handle it, then it’s a good product to use. But it is very potent, hence why it’s recommended to use 2-3 times a week for regular skin.
Would I repurchase?
Yes I would (but I wouldn’t put it on my hands because they’re too sensitive. I would use this for my feet). However the fragrance really does put me off.
Score: 4/5
