Review on Intensive Hand Care: Eau Thermale Avene Cold Cream Concentrated 🤲 Hand Cream - Fast Absorption for Dry, Chapped Hands (1.6 oz) by Ada Nadolna ᠌

So many laudatory odes to this cream, and such a disappointment in fact . My questions about Cold Cream Hand Cream begin with the composition - not a single nourishing oil, but the base of glycerin, paraffin and mineral oil - in my opinion, this is not enough for high-quality nutrition and moisturizing. Well, that's okay, it's my own fault that I didn't look at the composition when buying and relied on the quality of the brand and user reviews. The second unpleasant discovery for me was the convenience of packaging. For the first time in my life, I thought about the word "ergonomics" - the cream has just an ugly dispenser device: inside the huge lid in the center there is a miniature narrow hole through which the cream is squeezed out with great effort, also because the plastic from which the cream tube is made is enough rigid and difficult to press and squeeze. When a little less than half was left in the tube, it had to be cut, because. it was no longer possible to squeeze out at least some amount of cream with my hands. What was left there was enough for me for another two weeks, while, surprisingly, the cream did not dry out during this period upon contact with air. The third "surprise" is the smell of the cream. He is disgusting. It smells like dusty stale air in a very old room that hasn't been ventilated for a long time. To me, it's completely unbearable. Then everything is not so scary, but I still can’t justify the quality of the product. The cream is of medium density, it seems heavy and viscous, but it spreads easily on the skin and is absorbed in just seconds, leaving no stickiness. Instantly removes the feeling of dry and irritated skin, however, it does not solve the problem itself - moisturizing (not to mention nutrition) is only superficial and lasts only until the first hand wash with water. There is no cumulative effect. It's good that at least it ended quickly - 50 ml were used up in less than a month and a half. This is a complete failure. I won't buy again.
