I was intrigued by the balm like texture used for a hand cream. In my mind, I was thinking that I really like the balm texture in my cleansers, so what could go wrong? I just don't think it translates very well as a hand cream. The biggest problem was that it doesn't completely absorb into my hands. It just sits on top making my hands sticky. In addition, it's not very moisturizing. It has a sweet fruity smell that's not cloying. It's only noticeable if you directly sniff your hands, which I occasionally do (only cuz it smells so good). It's a good gimmick, but not really worth your money if you're looking for a moisturizing hand cream. It's good to give you a nice scent though!
