A Hand Balm That Exceeded My Expectations - A Surprising Find!

Hello!

I'm super excited to share my thoughts on the MODO VAIb hand balm from Modum. When I first heard about it, I thought it would be similar to a face mask, but this reddish stuff really surprised me.

Let's take a look at the manufacturer's description:

MODO VAIb hand balm from Modum is a real game-changer for your hands. This 30g balm deeply moisturizes and nourishes your skin.

MODO VAIb Hand Balm by ModumBrand: Modum (MODO).Country of origin: Belarus.Price: from 130 rubles.Buy it on marketplaces - I got this balm as a gift, so I don't know the exact place to buy it. On the website of Mark Formel, the price is around 3 Belarusian rubles.Packaging

The product didn't come with any outer packaging. The container is a bright plastic tube. I'm not sure if there are other colors available, but the brand's design is very recognizable. It's bright, one-toned, and minimal.

On the front, there's the product name and the brand logo.

Modum MODO x FEELIN VAYB Hand Balm The smallest tube I've ever seen - it's like a miniature hand balm. Volume of the product: 30 milliliters.

I love that the back of the packaging has all the details: the composition, usage instructions, storage conditions, and more. The text is tiny, but it's all there and nicely formatted in Russian. That's what I call thoughtful.

Modum MODO x FEELIN VAYB Hand Balm You can also find the manufacturer's promises on the packaging: Modum MODO x FEELIN VAYB Hand Balm Storage conditions and information about the manufacturer: Modum MODO x FEELIN VAYB Hand BalmShelf life: 3 years. The expiration date is printed on the tube's seam.

Modum MODO × FEELIN VIB BalmThe lid is made of a denser plastic and is octagonal. You'll find lids like this on many 50ml tubes these days. It screws off easily, and it's super secure. You can't stand the tube upside down on this lid, but that's not a problem with this small format. Modum MODO × FEELIN VIB BalmThe nozzle has a restrictor, and the outlet is tiny. This kind of dosing system is similar to what you find in lip balm tubes. It's more convenient for dosing. There's no protective membrane.Personally, I don't think this dosing system helps reduce the product's consumption that much. Modum MODO × FEELIN VIB BalmProduct DescriptionThe product comes out in a thin thread, which is supposed to help with usage. But as you can see from the photo below, I need twice as much for one application. So, after three weeks, I've already used more than half the product.

The balm is orange in color. It's a bright, but not intense orange – not like the color of carrots. It's more of an orange-brown, murky color that reminds me of mango jam.

Consistency is spot on, no streaks or unevenness. It feels more like a gel than a cream, actually. Not slippery, but a bit chilling. Slightly tacky at first, but that goes away in under a minute.

Modum MODO × FEELIN VIB Hand BalmScent is mango, and it's really pleasant. Sweet, fruity, and not overpowering. I've never smelled anything like it, even in desserts, but this hand balm captures the aftertaste of yogurt or fruit ice. It's rich without being cloying, and it doesn't feel artificial. The scent lasts a good hour on my skin.

Application is comfortable. Just keep in mind that it absorbs almost instantly, so if you have dry hands, you might need to apply more or start spreading it right away.

Modum MODO × FEELIN VIB Hand BalmAbsorption, as I mentioned, starts right away. It takes about two minutes for the balm to fully absorb.Thanks to its light and quickly-absorbing texture, this hand balm spreads easily across the skin and leaves a pleasant scent behind.

How to useI've never seen a recommendation to apply this balm in a specific way before, but honestly, it doesn't make a huge difference. The effect is pretty similar either way, but I think you'll see what I mean later on.

Just massage a small amount of cream into your clean skin using light strokes, starting at the tips of your fingers and working your way up to your wrists.

My experience

To give you a fair idea of what I thought, let's compare my expectations to the actual result. For instance, here are some of the promises made by the product:

MODO VIB hand balm not only moisturizes but also protects your skin from external factors, making it smoother and softer.

Yeah, it does. The balm definitely moisturizes your skin. That rough, scratchy feeling when you rub your palms together – it's gone immediately. The gel-like texture just wipes it away. As for nourishment, it's a bit harder to tell, but it feels like it's working on the tips of my fingers. It's like the fingerprints are being smoothed out or something. If you've ever used any moisturizing creams, you'll know what I mean.

I've found that this product works just fine for winter. I mean, you do have to be a bit careful with moisturizers, since they can leave your skin feeling greasy and vulnerable to the elements. But if you take the right precautions and apply a barrier cream, you'll be okay. Plus, this stuff isn't just water - it's got nourishing ingredients that help keep your skin healthy. In my experience, I haven't had any issues with dryness or irritation.

One thing I really like about this product is that it doesn't leave any residue on my skin. No greasiness, no stickiness, no 'film' feeling. It just absorbs in and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.

When I touch my skin after applying this product, it feels amazing. The combination of the product's moisturizing properties and its incredible scent is just fantastic. In the first few days, I couldn't stop raving about how great my skin felt.The most surreal thing happened. I couldn't believe my eyes at first. I asked my son to take a look, and he confirmed that it wasn't just me imagining things. When I clench my fist, the skin on the back of my hand smooths out, while the areas where the product didn't penetrate remain the same. It's like magic!I called my sister over to show her, and she experienced the same thing - even though her skin is super delicate. It's truly mind-blowing!

After a few days of using it, the effect did start to wear off. I guess my skin had absorbed the right amount of vitamins, and the skin texture had replenished itself. This might be a sign of a cumulative effect, but that's just my theory.However, it doesn't take away from my overall impressions after each use, even to this day. I'm writing this now, and to describe the scent, I've re-applied the balm, and I'm enjoying the soft skin on my hands and this amazing aroma. On my wrists, I didn't notice as strong of an effect, but my skin does feel softer and smoother, and the scent is still there. But, I guess not many people use hand creams on their forearms. No allergic reactions or irritations whatsoever on my palms. Scent compositionI had to dig deep to find the full list of ingredients. The composition is quite long and rich, with 8 active special components, as claimed.

Aqua,Cetearyl Alcohol,Glyceryl Stearate,Isopropyl Palmitate,Ceteareth-25,Ethylhexyl Stearate, Betaine,Cocos Nucifera Oil,Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter,Panthenol,Glycerin,Urea,Tocopheryl Acetate,Actinidia Chinensis Fruit Extract,Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract,Mangifera Indica Fruit Extract,Dimethicone,Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer,Sodium Hydroxide,Parfum,Methylparaben,Propylparaben,2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol,Citral,Geraniol,CI 19140, CI 16255I'm guessing these are the components, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the eighth one.

Cocoa butter is amazing for my skin - it locks in moisture, regenerates, and shields it from environmental stressors.

Coconut oil is packed with vitamins and minerals that deeply nourish my skin, providing long-lasting hydration.

Panthenol and vitamin E are a dynamic duo that banishes dryness, tightness, and stimulates cell renewal, leaving my skin looking smoother and more radiant.

Mango, kiwi, and coconut extracts deliver a wealth of nutrients that quench my skin's thirst, boost its tone, and elasticity.

Modum MODO x FEELIN VAIb Hand BalmMy VerdictI'm still blown away by how much I love this stuff! I'm so glad I gave it a try - it's really impressive. Let me summarize:

It looks greatThe texture is lovely and smoothThe scent is absolutely gorgeousIt absorbs instantlyIt nourishes and moisturizesIt smooths out wrinklesIt's not greasy at allThe formula is really interestingThe value for moneyNot tested on animals.

To be honest, there's nothing I'd change even if it were 10 times more expensive - it's just that good! Maybe they could add a little clip to keep the lid on the tube, or some sparkly packaging, but that's about it. This is an awesome product - I highly recommend giving it a try. From me, it gets a solid 5 stars.

Thanks for sticking with me! That's all from me.
