Review: Lavera Basis Sensitiv Handcreme

This Lavera Basis Sensitiv HandCreme must be new stock because I definitely wouldn’t have missed it at a price tag of only S$5! There’s not a lot of cream in that 30ml but still, I think it’s well worth the price tag with its organic content such as almond oil, shea butter and jojoba seed oil. It’s pretty rich on contact but yet, it’s actually a light formula because the cream absorbs quickly into the skin and does not leave an oily film. The skin on my hands felt soft and supple and I love the travel size!

Ingredients:
Water, Shea Butter*, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Soybean Oil*, Grain Alcohol, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Stearic Acid, Jojoba Seed Oil*, Cellulose, Sweet Almond Oil*, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Vitamin E Acetate, Xanthan Gum, Lysolecithin, Calendula Flower Extract*, German Chamomile Extract*, Lecithin, Vitamin E, Rapeseed Sterols, Vitamin C Ester
Natural Essential Oils: Citral*, Geraniol*, Limonene*, Linalool*
* = certified organic

Okay, this hand cream has a strong Calendula smell which not everyone will appreciate. But it’s fine for me although I wish it is something sweeter. Still, it’s a great buy at only S$5. However, I noticed that this product is only available at selected Watsons.

   Hello!
   I have been really thinking about hand care lately searching around for something with powerfully anti-oxidants to protect my hand from damage. Thanks for this post!! let me know if you know if any hand creams like that! on Leon’s forum I am ComplexBeuty.

   Alyssa: Try handcreams with SPF. I can’t think of anything now but if I do, I’ll post it on the forum. Lately, I’ve been apply sunscreen even to the hands and at night, I use a shea butter cream on them. They’re looking better.

   I love the lavera handcream! My only gripe is the packaging - it’s too small! I like Sukin’s hand cream as well.

   flym: I thought you might like them. Yes, too small. But at that price, I thought it was okay. I’ve tried Sukin’s hand cream but I didn’t buy it though. Not too bad.

   My hands are pretty atrocious as I’m known for washing my hands more than I should and never moisturizing.

   When I do want them to look their best I use Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour cream. It literally works overnight and transforms my hands into a normal state.

   I wish I were diligent enough to use it every night.

   Elaine: I know many rave about the Eight Hour cream. I don’t mind it but I’ve since come across better ones.
