Skinfood's Pineapple Hand Cream perfectly fits the summer season mainly because it smells like real pineapple. Before you get freaked out by the scent, let me tell you that it smells like pineapple... IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY. Everytime I put this on, my folks would tell me how nice it smells.
Skinfood Pineapple Hand Cream, 45mLAround 600+PHP (~ 13)
The Edge:
- scent spells out summer: it's pineapple right at your fingertips! (pun intended)
- moisturizes the driest hands
- small amount should do; product goes a long way
Uh-ohs:
- feels kinda greasy if you accidentally put on too much
- tends to make the hands too shiny instead of moisturized-matte (perhaps because I don't have dry skin type)
- it's too liquefied. it should be a cream, duh!
Less is more: a little amount is good enough to minimize the ugly lines on your handand moisturize it!
(L): I accidentally squeezed out too much product(R): Too flowy. I sort of expected a creamier prod
*****************
ROYAL RATING: Spend-worthy? Not really. There are cheaper alternatives. I just use this product during special occassions, say, holding hands with boyfie *royal chuckle*. No, really. That's when I use it coz he loves the scent on my hands.

Hands are so precious that it needs to be pampered after a long day's work. Why not try giving your hands some massage using a hand cream/lotion? It's a stress reliever for me!

me too, i love putting lotion on my hands. basta i feel they're dry na or after i wash my hands, i put lotion.
hihihi can I say something funny? I LOVE LOVE LOVE hand creams but I am too lazy to use them! hahahah oooppss..was I thinking out loud?
nice post, i don't have a specific cream for my hands, just the same body lotion i use for the day.
so what cheaper alternative would you suggest?
Hey Crystal!
you sound just like my best friend. she's a sucker for hand creams! imagine, she has three in her purse all the time! she was the one who pushed me into getting SF's Pineapple hand cream! :D But her hands are super dooper dry, that's why i understand her rave for these things.

Hey Nikki,
maybe they should invent some wrist watch for you that conceals a tiny bag of hand cream. just press on the "press me" mark, and, voila! instant soft and supple hands!

I use my revlon aquamarine ,too, Czel! For cheapo ones, go for M&S hand cream line, 200+PHP (they have a couple of variants). Problem is, they're not as great as SF's in terms of moisturizing a super dry hand (my friend is a living proof :D, she only uses SF/L'occitane and something else)
i have CRAZY dry hand. plus eczema. but so lazy to put them on. plus i wash my hand every minute. so it never stays on.
:( thank you for reviewing this. I was thinking about getting this, but like you said there are cheaper alternative that works just as good.
However, i really like to smell that pineapple. ha ha ha
Yu, if you're frequently washing your hands, then you must be off to a cheaper hand cream. you wouldn't want all that dear pineapple cream go down the drain in a matter of hours!
