Uses

This is a great thicker than lotion hand cream. I have also used it on my dry shoulders and I love the scent. Working as a nurse, washing my hands continually during a 12 hour shift and using medical foams, my hands look like crap! They are dried out and wrinkly. I like to put this on my hands after coming home. It feels velvety as the name implies. It doesn’t feel greasy. After having it on my hands for hours it is still smooth. I only use it after I am home from work and my hands do much better after several applications. It is not for hands with open sores or bleeding.

Texture/Consistency/Thickness

The velveteen hand cream is thicker than lotions and it is creamy. It easily rubs into your hands and only a small amount of product is needed. It absorbs quickly and leaves a slight soft texture to the skin. It contains Shea butter and Mango.

Ingredients

Scent

I purchased the It’s a Slice version of the hand cream. It does smell like cake with a marshmallow frosting. I am a big sweet lover so needless to say, this goes over well with me. The husband likes the scent too, he said "cupcakes!" I like to put this on my hands and dry shoulders before I go to bed, now my bed has this slight smell to it and I like it.

Packaging

It’s a Slice comes in a 3.4 ounce tube with a flip top cap. The cap has a slight click to it when it is closed. I would definitely trust this in my pocket or my purse. This is a convenient size to carry around with you. I would be afraid to take this to work and use it around any of my co-workers because it would be gone in no time.

I like using this hand cream. It makes me feel special and it's a little treat for myself since my hands take a beating. It's a slice definitely helps to make them look presentable. I would suggest this to anyone and everyone. I doubt that the male nurses would be willing to use it because they wouldn't appreciate the wonderful cake scent.

I still like this hand cream. I literally wash my hands continuously and it is definitely helping with the dryness. I had my Mom from upstate NY here this week and she tried it. So there went one of my tubes! Actually the scent is more like orange with vanilla. I love the smell.
