I wash my hands way too often, so I needed a reliable hand cream.

Here’s what I look for when choosing one

1️⃣The scent shouldn’t be overpowering.

2️⃣It should absorb well without leaving a greasy residue.

3️⃣It shouldn’t be too pricey.

Beyond Classic Hand Cream – Total Recovery

Texture: A classic hand cream consistency, neither too thick like an ointment nor too runny. Surprisingly, more fluid hand creams can sometimes feel greasier!

Key Ingredients: Ceramide, Hibiscus flower extract

Scent: A light apple floral fragrance with the following notes. top : white florals, middle : powdery, base : musk

While writing this review, I found out that the different hand creams in this line aren’t just scented differently, they actually have different formulations! I was thinking of getting the green one because I liked the scent, but it turns out it has a different function.

The Total recovery version is the deep moisture formula in the lineup, but it absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, and the hydration lasts. The scent isn’t too strong, so it doesn’t linger in a way that would bother me. Some might find it noticeable, but compared to other hand creams with much stronger fragrances, this one is perfectly fine for me.

The biggest reason I chose this? It frequently goes on buy one get one sales, so I can always stock up. I actually bought mine during a BOGO deal, finished an entire tube, and now I’m finally writing this review!
