The Hand Treatment Hydrating Lotion

Where has the time gone? It's hard to believe 16 years have passed since I first purchased a trial size of this online, back when the packaging used to mention the formula containing the 'whitening complex' - and when it used to cost a lot less than the $90 it is today! Feels like it was only a few years ago. Despite the ever increasing cost I have re-purchased this several times over the years, whenever I'm not trying out another hand cream or treatment. I'm not a fan of overly rich or greasy hand creams, and this one falls midway between light and rich, with an 'emulsion' like texture. It sinks in fairly rapidly and leaves my hands both plumped-up and moist, but not greasy or oily. It does have that typical La Mer fragrance which is neither too strong nor overpowering. I've never noticed any brightening or lightening effects when using this, but as a hand moisturizer it does the job. Bear in mind I don't have extremely dry hands, or chapped skin and I'm not sure it would be adequate if my hands were. I would have given 5 lippies if the price had not increased so much over time, but alas it has and hence the rating. Will re-purchase nevertheless. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

La Mer Hand Treatment is nice, but not worth $45 for a small tube. Next time, I'll order Bliss for a fraction of the price. My hands are still noticeably dry despite reapplying several times today.

For the price of this hand cream, I expected something pretty exquisite. There is nothing spectacular about it except the price. The cream doesn't last long. I've purchased less expensive hand creams that did a better job of moisturizing the skin than La Mer. Unfortunately, I fell for the hype. I doubt I'd purchase again.

I received this as a birthday gift which was so thoughtful. I have had eczema on my hands since I was a little girl. Within a week of slathering this on at night my hands were completely healed up, no more flaky bumpy skin. I'm buying a second tube to keep in my purse.

I've tried a ton of different products, but this one absorbs and moisturizes immediatly. I can even smell it and feel it after I've done the dishes! It is truly amazing! And as opposed to other reviews, I definitely like the hand cream better than the face one, although they're both great products.

I have been using the moisturizing cream for 2 years and love it. However, tried this hand cream and was not impressed. Was no better than any basic hand lotion. Maybe it's not thick enough. Spend your money on the face cream instead.

As a nurse, my hands are always dry due to constant handwashing and alcohol foam use. Therefore, I've tried numerous hand creams in all price ranges. This one beats them all. My hands (and dry, dry cuticles!) are moisturized without feeling greasy. I don't have to constantly re-apply and I swear my hands are getting better at retaining their own moisture the longer I use it. It smells great, too! Totally worth the cost. I love it so much that I actually carry it in my purse. :)

This product says hand cream, but I had some kind of mottled old-age skin patterns on my arms that nothing else got rid of. I tried this on my arms in addition to my hands and it is wonderful. This got rid of the patterned skin in one application and it lightened some age spots right away. I used to use Lancome Absolue hand cream which seems to no longer be available, so I tried this. While it is expensive, it's totally worth it! It feels great, too.

The Hand Treatment is by far the best hand moisturizer I have ever used. It glides on smoothly and keeps my hands soft for hours on end. I apply whenever my hands are feeling dry and after every hand wash. Highly recommend.

This is pure and simple the most amazing hand cream I have ever used. It's not extremely heavy but with consistent nightly use, before bed each evening, it has made my hands much smoother and younger looking. I don't know how it does it, but it has also eliminated or faded age spots. I am sold on this product and am sure you will be too if you're seeking an anti-aging, regenerating type of hand product. If you do try it, commit to using it nightly and be patient. By the time your first tube is used up you will see great results.

Pretty bummed out with this product. It's smells good and feels luxurious on the skin as it should with such a steep price tag but I've been using it for three days now and my hands still feel dry; they actually feel dryer, if that's even possible! I should have just bought the l'occitane hand cream I normally use. It works better and is waaaay more affordable. This lotion does make your hands look soft and nice for about an hour after use but I'd rather have a hand treatment that treats my dry hands, not mask it. ;(

This is by far the best hand cream I’ve ever used… I suffer from very bad eczema type of issue in the winter, both hands are always red and also bleeds from cuts because of the issue. After one use, my hands feel so soft and moist, it’s shocking how amazing this product is. If you have any doubt this cream won’t work, don’t even think twice not purchasing it, it’s worth every penny!
