Summary
This cutie has been a long-term travel companion in terms of hands moisturising routine. The cream is not oily and absorbs really well leaving no greasy traces. Its floral scent is lingering a bit, but not in an unpleasant way. I also admire the design and convenience of L'occitane travel sized creams, that allows using all the product till its last drop. The price is higher than of any normal mass-market beauty hand item, but it is a downside that can be neglected. Overall, I can recommend this product.

I love L'Occitane hand creams and recently bought a few from an Ebay auction. they are all lovely and work really well at softening and moisturising my hands but it is the lingering scent which I find draws me to these as they are gorgeous. They smell natural and so lovely. this is a gentle floral and I can't help sniffing my hands again and again when wearing it.

Summary
A really effective hand cream that only needs the smallest amount to cover hands really well giving them a good deep condition and relieving hands of dryness.
Comes in a pretty tube and easy to carry around and use when needed.
Great for every day use or when your hands are suffering from the weather.

Beautiful rich texture hand cream that is easily absorbed without any trace of greasiness. Softens immediately and keeps skin moisturised for hours. Gorgeous floral sweet peony scent that lingers on the hands. A little product needed so excellent value for money. Gorgeous metal tube packaging

Summary
L’Occitane hand creams are some of the most intensively moisturising creams on the market, with added bonus of the purest natural ingredients including Shea Butter and vitamin E. There are no harmful chemicals or parabens in these products, just potent ingredients that soften, hydrate and repair even the most damaged hands. The Peony cream is not as powerful as the pure Shea Butter cream but is still highly moisturising and very rich. I adore the packaging which is so handy and ensures that you can get every last drop of cream from the tube. The scent is pure floral Peony which is not overpowering and the scent lingers subtly on the skin for hours. This cream is not greasy or sticky and your skin drinks it in rapidly upon application. After continued use you will see an amazing improvement in your hands and their condition. The tube lasts for months with constant use due to its high concentration.
