Soft Touch Hand Cream Harmony Argan
I've tried a bunch of hand creams, but this one really stands out. It's super rich and nourishing, and it actually works to moisturize and soften dry hands. The argan oil and other natural ingredients do a great job of providing long-lasting hydration, leaving your hands feeling smooth and supple. It's perfect for daily use, and a little goes a long way. I've noticed a big difference in just a few days of using it, and my hands feel so much better than they used to. It's definitely worth the investment if you're looking for a hand cream that actually works.

Hello!
I've been a long-time fan of the Barхatные ручки hand creams, and while not every one of them is perfect, the low price and huge selection make it easy to try new ones and buy again what I liked. I've got a collection of 4 hand creams with exotic ingredients, which I sometimes call my "Luxury" collection. At least that many options are available in Ukraine. I've been using the previous versions for a long time, and this summer I decided to try the Гармонию арганы as well.

Manufacturer: Unilever (my cream was made in Ukraine).
Where to buy: almost any cosmetics store, I ordered it on makeup.com.

Price: around 32 UAH (a bit more than a dollar).
Packaging: the standard packaging for the brand - a convenient, lightweight plastic that feels smooth to the touch, with an initial protective seal.
Hand Cream Barхатные ручки Гармония арганы Review
Texture: creamy, even, light, but still quite thick, melts during distribution.
Color: pure white.
Aroma: very pleasant, intense fragrance, overall it's floral-oriental.
Ingredients:
I was really impressed with the ingredient list of this hand cream. Urea, which ranks second on the list, is super effective at locking in moisture. It's also got some amazing nourishing components like shea butter, argan oil, and grape seed oil, plus linalool for good measure. Just keep in mind that it does contain parabens, which some people try to avoid.
The functions of this hand cream, based on my experience and analysis of the ingredients, are:
moisturizing;nourishing;protecting;softening.I think this hand cream would be suitable for people with normal skin type. I'm not sure it would be enough for dry skin in the winter, but it's perfect for spring and fall. Plus, it's not recommended for kids.
Value for money: I'd say it's pretty economical - the cream is easy to spread, so you don't end up using too much or too little.
My experience with the product and the results
I used this hand cream in the summer, after washing my hands a lot due to the pandemic. I was really happy with how it felt - the cream has a lovely light texture, but it still manages to nourish and moisturize my skin pretty well.
Argan Harmony Hand Cream - Soft Touch Review
I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly this hand cream absorbs - you can use your phone straight away without any residue. It leaves a lovely feeling of softness and hydration, like your hands are wrapped in a gentle powder veil. There's no greasy sheen or film, but dryness is still a thing of the past.
Argan Harmony Hand Cream - After
But there's a catch - the nourishing and hydrating effect doesn't last long. Within 30-40 minutes, your skin starts to feel dry again, even without washing your hands. It's a bit of an illusion: at first, it feels like the cream is doing a great job, but that feeling wears off quickly.
I wanted to compare this hand cream to others, so you can make a more informed decision.
Argan Harmony Hand Cream Review
Macadamia Luxury - This is the most nourishing, moisturizing, and pleasant to apply cream I've ever tried, and I prefer it over many more expensive options. The argan harmony texture is very similar, but the effect is just like the Acai Energy.Acai Berry Energy - This is the lightest cream-mousse that only slightly nourishes but smoothes. It's a great option for summer, but not suitable for dry skin. And the best part is, it doesn't clog your skin at all.Tiaré Tenderness - The lightest, water-based texture with a pleasant moisturizing effect that will appeal to those who find Macadamia Luxury too heavy.Each of these creams has an amazing scent. But when it comes to moisturizing, nourishing, and lasting effects, I'd rank them as follows:
Macadamia Luxury;Tiaré Tenderness;Argan Harmony;Acai Berry Energy.I'm giving Macadamia Luxury the top spot, and the others just didn't win me over. I'd say Argan Harmony is a solid middle-of-the-pack option, and I wouldn't give any of them a failing grade.
Verdict: Overall, Argan Harmony is a pleasant-smelling, easy-to-use, moisturizing, and nourishing 'middle-of-the-pack' option that won't cut it for winter, but does the job in warmer months. Unfortunately, its effects don't last long, so I wouldn't recommend it to those with dry skin. For everyone else, it's a decent value for the price.
