The Budget Hand Cream That Surprisingly Works

I've got a ton of hand creams scattered around the house, in my bags, and even in my car's glove compartment. Keeping my hands moisturized and nourished is a must for me - it's not just about looking good, but feeling good too.

I pay attention to my hands because they can give away my age. So, it's not just about taking care of my face, but also my body and hands.

Today's review is all about this super budget-friendly hand cream from Vesyolaya "Vitamino-glycerinovy". I've got to say, it's a total surprise - you don't often get quality that's this good for such a low price. This cream isn't just a quick fix; it's got a cumulative effect that really works.

Where to Buy

I picked up this cream at the "Sem' Dney" store, where it was on sale.

I've also seen it at the "Pyaterochka" store, but it's a bit pricier there.

Price This cream set me back 48 rubles 40 kopeks. If you're paying cash, it's a bit more - 49 rubles - since "Sem' Dney" doesn't give change in coins and rounds up to the nearest ruble.

Description

This collagen hand and nail cream from ГлавАптека is the ultimate hand care experience. It's turned hand care into a ritual I actually look forward to. The combination of collagen and elastin in the formula helps to plump up my skin and keep it looking youthful. It also strengthens my nail plate and prevents breakage. The cream gets rid of signs of aging, giving my skin a smooth and elastic texture, and provides long-lasting hydration.

Wide lid, which lets you stand the tube up on the lid, taking up less space.No protection from the first opening! And for me, that's a huge minus. I get that the price isn't crazy, but it's still annoying that the product's shelf life starts from the moment the seal is broken, not when you actually open it. I wouldn't want to be using a used-up cream, either - who knows if someone in the store already tested it out and put it back on the shelf?The nozzle is small, but the flexible plastic makes it easy to dispense the right amount.The tube is made of flexible plastic, so you can squeeze out every last bit of cream.OrganolepticsThe cream is a pale color.

The texture is rich and dense.The scent is a pleasant cosmetic note, but it's quite strong., you can smell it on your hands, so if you've got sensitive skin, this cream might not be the best choice. For me, the scent isn't overwhelming.The Effect After ApplicationIt glides on easily, but the cream doesn't turn into water - it just absorbs into the skin, leaving a slightly greasy film on the surface of your hands. But that's gone in a minute, leaving behind a lovely, hydrated finish that really transforms the look and feel of your skin.

Your hands immediately become soft and silky to the touch, with a lovely texture that's both visually and tactilely pleasing.

Skin on my hands feels hydrated and nourished, which instantly makes them look younger, and the rough patches and dry spots just disappear.And the best part is that my skin feels moisturized for the whole day, even after an hour of using the cream, but I do reapply it at night to give it an extra boost.Thanks to this, my skin looks amazing in the morning, and even if I forget to apply moisturizer before heading out, my hands still look well-groomed.Plus+affordable price
