Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am pleased with the L'Occitane Shea Butter products I've purchased, but they aren't miracle workers. I've got the hand cream, foot cream and body lotion.
They work well for softening the skin, and there is no stickiness or oily feeling. The body lotion is rapidly absorbed and does not give that sweaty feeling that other lotions leave after you've put on your clothing. The scent is pleasant and the container size is generous.
The consistency of the body lotion is approximately like thousand island dressing. Consistency of the hand and foot cream is approximately like cream cheese.
The tubes of the hand and foot cream are like old-fashioned toothpaste tubes; as you use the product you flatten the tube and roll it up. I find this somewhat inconvenient. In rolling one tube, it separated at the bottom and some of the cream oozed out. The caps of the tubes are ridiculously difficult to use. They are very small, and when you've just put cream on your hands, almost impossible to grip them. Even if you can hold onto the little cap, it's a challenge to actually get it onto the top of the tube and attach it.
The hand cream has a thickness that seems to really soothe, but it doesn't have a lot of "slip." [It isn't slippery.] The lack of slip means that I've had to use quite a bit to cover my forearms. I have very dry skin and full coverage is important. I'm consuming the hand cream (20% shea butter) pretty quickly. It may become too expensive for me to use it on a regular basis.
The foot cream is also approximately the consistency of (whipped) cream cheese, but I've noticed no difference or improvement of my heels or toes. The cream just doesn't have the power needed to affect the tough areas. I won't be reording it.
As compared to other products, I like this brand. The creams are not runny, are not over-fragranced, and the hand cream and body cream do seem to offer skin softening. There's nothing in these products to produce a permanent change (such as alpha or beta hyroxies) but they are soothing and give relief from dry or older skin.
