Alpine Silk Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Crème Reviews

100% highly recommend! The packaging is very pleasant to the eye. The Crème itself is quite thick and a little went a long way. My hands were extremely soft and ohhhh sooo smooth: also this product did not make my hands greasy. My cuticles were strong, healthy yet soft. My nails looked extra healthy. The only con about this is that it is expensive in saying that I love this product and will definitely buy it again even with the high price

Alpine Silk Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Creme is packaged in a handy 85ml squeeze tube, and promises to hydrate, repair and rejuvenate skin.

The white cream is enriched with NZ certified organic lanolin and Vitamin E.  It has a thin to medium consistency, so it does flow out the tube quite quickly, but this also means that it glides onto skin easily with a smooth feel, and is readily absorbed without too much massaging.  I will admit that I was very skeptical about a hand cream containing lanolin, as I thought it would be greasy.  Thankfully, there is no greasiness and the cream has a lovely floral scent.

Alpine Silk Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Creme does help to hydrate and protect the skin on the hands, improving the look and feel of the skin, as well as preventing the skin around the nails and cuticle from looking ragged and dry.  Lanolin is an excellent natural moisturiser, and it helps to relieve any dryness while forming a protective barrier against the elements.  

Apply this hand and nail cream as often as needed, to help keep hands feeling soft and supple.  Start off with less than you think you need (about a small pea size), you can always add a little more if you need it.

The price is pretty average for a tube of hand cream, however, Alpine Silk's products are difficult to find as they're only stocked in "touristy" type novelty stores.

The packaging doesn't really do it for me, but as we know - don't judge a book by its cover!

The cream is a mid-consistency, not too thick nor too runny. Absorbs easily without a greasy after feel.

I've been using for 2 weeks now and am enjoying it very much - my hands feel soft and look much more hydrated.

I think its a well priced hand cream and a great NZ product.

I was really excited to give this hand and nail creme a try because mine get so dry in this awful cold weather.

Its a really nice texture, not to thick and gluggy. You know the type that leaves a kind of waxy residue on your hand afterwards - it wasn't like that. So texture was great for me.

Scent was pleasant. Not typically my type of scent, a bit too floral and intense but it was okay. It did linger for quite a while, which would be great if it was something you really liked, but not for me.

I love that it is organic, and has lanolin and vitamin E in its ingredients. Love being able to use natural things and that it is paraben free. These things are really important to me so it definitely plays a part in if I would purchase it again.

I feel like the packaging makes it look like a tourist product and one that would be overpriced for what it is. I'm not sure if it is the strange sheep or the snowy mountain ranges on the label, but I don't like it. I feel like this is something you would purchase from a souvenir store.

Great that its made in New Zealand - love to support local businesses, but unfortunately this one wasn't for me.

I loved the smell of this product and I desperately wanted to like it just based on that alone, but unfortunately it was too thin and I didn’t find it moistures my hands at all and the cream just felt like it disappeared

I love the packaging, a cute sheep kiwi theme. Very appealing to tourists I imagine it’s targeted to.

Such a great size to pop into your hand bag to carry around. Very nourishing , still light and not too greasy.

The faults for me is the fragrance, I cannot use anything with a high floral .

I get debilitating migraines especially off high floral fragrances products.

I gave the hand cream to my mum and she loved it. Perfect for her hands and she doesn’t mind the jasmine , gardenia fragrance . She uses it daily and only once a day is needed .

I was really excited to try this hand crème out. I have dry and cracked hands at the moment and I was really impressed with this product. After using this hand crème for a week it has cleared most of my dry skin up and has improved the cracks on my hands, My skin feels hydrated, soft and nourished too.

I love how it is made in New Zealand, its organic and has no parabens. How amazing!?

I am very impressed with the quality of the hand crème. It is different to all the other ones that I have tried. I believe the organic Lanolin has great healing and nourishing properties. This one gets a 5/5 from me!

Alpine Silk's Lanolin Reviving Hand & Nail Creme has come at the perfect time for me to trial. I work in a hospital and have to use sanitiser on my hands numerous times a day, so often find myself with dry hands and cuticles. This hand cream comes in a generous sized tube. The formula is a moderate lotion, not too heavy. I found at first it seemed like I applied too much, but my dry skin pretty much drinks it in and it absorbs really quickly. My skin was left feeling soft to touch but not greasy, and if you just touched it you probably wouldn't be able to tell I had just used hand cream but instead just had soft skin.

It has a light fragrance added to it which is pleasant and would appeal to most people. I would happily use this again as it's a very nice hand cream and it's very affordable, as well as being a New Zealand made product which is always a bonus.

Lovely product, very hydrating for hands, didnt notice a change in cuticles or nails though. Very creamy velvet texture. Leaving your hands feeling very silky and smooth.

I found it does come out of the tube quite quickly, and you do not actually need a lot of product, as a small amount does go a long way. It also absorbs really nicely without leaving a greasy or slippery finish.

Some of the white printing is difficult to read on the light area of the picture on the back of the tube. But otherwise good size product and cool pictures, colours look good.

This cream is lovely smelling, not too strong, and it has a wonderfully silky smooth texture. It definitely makes a difference to your skin on the hands and works perfectly for dry winter skin. The only issue I have with it is that it has a bit of a greasy film on the skin as it doesn’t seem to absorb fast or it could be a protective barrier? I wasn’t a fan of it. Apart from that I would definitely use it again and I would definitely recommend it to family and friends, specially the ones that struggle with dry chapped skin.
