Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Cream

50 mL, 5000 won

Since my hands are super dry, I have to use very moisturizing hand cream
I hate greasy ones though...

I am always looking for something that fits the following criteria:
1) able to provide the moisture & hydration I need
2) gets absorbed into my hands and won't wash off when I wash my hands
3) not greasy

so far... moist hand creams fit into criteria 1&3
however, the moisture & hydration they provide are short term
meaning as soon as I wash my hands and dry them, my hands gets dried....



The Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand Cream contains 5% shea butter which gives its light baby powder scent
Milky white in color, creamy rich in texture
it's really moisturizing and no sticky at all!!
makes my hands quite soft!!

Organia Olive Water Drop Essence Hand Cream

50 g, 1500 won

When I went to Korea a few years ago.I bought like 10 of these for myself and gave away ~20 
This time I bought 10 again. 
The only place I could find this is Watson's in Myeongdong, not sure if other Watson's stores have them.

This water drop hand cream is super hydrating!
Suitable for any type of skin.
If you live in a hot area like Asia or California, you probably lose a lot of moisture in your body.
If you live in cold areas like Canada, where it's super dry, you will definitely need this for some hydration.
50 mL is a good size to carry in your purse 


Before I apply the hand cream, there are some fine lines on my hands



Milky white texture, light floral scent


when you pat it around, you'll see water drops!!




















pat lightly until all the waterdrops get fully absorbed
fine lines suddenly diminished!!



I feel like there's a thin layer of protection on my skin
very refreshing, non-greasy and light texture
feels like my skin just drank water!!

For me, because I have super dry hands, I need to mix half of it with intensive moisture hand cream
i just put a small dab of each and mix it together then apply it
I give this product a 5 star rating!!

Innisfree Real Olive Hand Mask

This was a Gift with Purchase when you spend 30,000 won
This is so far the 10th item I have tried in this line.
I am in LOVE with the Innisfree Olive Line !! 

Th hand glove mask is made with non-woven fabric which effectively locks water moisture to your skin and at the same time, enable your skin to breathe.

First, wash and dry your hands, put on the non-woven hand mask just like how you would put on gloves.
Make sure your skin is in contact with the mask, cause the size of the glove is quite big, so there may be  spaces in between.
Put on the plastic gloves so the essence from the hand mask wouldn't evaporate
Wait ~15 mins and meanwhile you can watch TV =)
My hands feel moisturized afterwards!
It can last for 1-3 days

Innisfree Olive Real Moisture Hand Cream

50 mL, 6000 won

This is one of my favourite hand cream!!
Ingredients include extra olive virgin oil made from organic golden olives, one of the best olives ever! shea butter and vitamin E which moisturises and repairs your skin
This kind of olive originate from Crete Island in Greece (best suitable place to grow olives in the world)

It was buy 1 get 1 free when I was in Korea!
I didn't think how many I needed and bought 6!
The cream is white in color and the texture feels like whipping cream!
It's moisturises my hands deeply and absorbs fast!

What makes me so happy with this hand cream is that the moisture is still there after I wash my hands
The light olive smell is mild and gentle.
The packaging is light and easy to carry around.
This is definitely one of the must buys in Korea !!

Tony Moly Peach Anti-Aging Hand Cream

30g, 4900 won

I bought this at Lotte Duty Free for $3 USD.

I wasn't planning to get this originally, but my boyfriend was highly attracted to it!!!

The packaging is just toooo cute!!!!

Ingredients include peach and almond extract which can ffeeeen your skin, and Adenosine for anti-aging.

The hand cream is packaged in a plastic peach container.

It also looked like those chinese birthday buns which I love!!

The smell is very peachy, can't resist at all!! and you do wanna take a bite!!

The colour is whitish pink, fine texture, fast absorbing and non-greasy

the moisture can last ~4-6 hours, however after you wash your hand, you need to reapply it

Skinfood Vita Juice Hand Essence

50mL, 3700 won, $65 HKD

It smells like gummy bears or Orange Creamsicles =P
The main ingredient is Vitamin E, which has strong anti-oxidizing and anti-aging effect
The name of the product is rather confusing....
For skincare, you would follow with a moisturizer after using an essence
But for hands... it doesn't seem necessary...

Ffeeee creamy texture, not thick, absorbs fast
A lot of hand creams will moisturizes at the surface, meaning after you wash your hands, they will get dry AGAIN... 
but for this one it actually absorbs right into your hands
It feels soft and clean! 
This is not super moisturising, but just enough moisture to keep my hands in good shape!! 
Although I have dry hands, I would stay away from hand creams that are too rich or too greasy.. it just causes a big mess on my keyboard and things I touch... 

Tony Moly Milk Hand Cream

70 mL, 4000 won

Milk products are always my favourite!!!

Whenever I see milk products I think of baby, soft, pure and clean

I can't resist getting this one to try!!

Lotte Duty Free only sells it for $3 USD!!!

My hands are the driest areas on my body!

Hand cream is definitely one of my demanding products.

This milk hand cream contains a light baby powder scent, pure and attractive!

It moisturises pretty well, but if you need to write with a pen, your hands will feel a bit greasy..

However, it still makes my hands soft.

herbal scent was strong... I couldn't stand using it until I see some whitening effect.... please RIP in my drawer ha ha
