Another trusted French pharmacy brand, Bioderma’s affordable hand cream is also another that’s fairly unfussy, but that our tester still appreciated. There’s nothing going on here that is likely to be irritating to sensitive skin. While we haven’t yet used it for 21 days straight and therefore can’t say how much more hydrated our hands would feel at that point, it certainly left them feeling noticeably smoother.

I got given the hand cream in the scent ‘So Wonderful’ and spoiler, the name fits the product! It is a very floral scent, so if thats not your bag, I don’t think its the one for you! It reminds me of freshly cut roses!Before bed: "Applying hand cream before bed allows it to work overnight to repair and hydrate your hands." A good hand cream should really be a mix of the three moisturising ingredients: humectants (for example glycerin), occlusives (for example shea butter), and emollients (for example lanolin),” says consultant dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto, founder of Self London. "A good ratio of these ingredients is a must for moisturising effectively. I also really like ceramides in hand creams as they are natural lipids that support the skin barrier and help to prevent moisture loss." For wrinkles and signs of aging: "Alpha hydroxy acids like lactic acid in hand cream formulas will exfoliate dry, flaky skin and increase skin cell turnover to reveal more radiant skin," Wnek adds.

Before Christmas I went to the Hilton Hotel to try the Festive Afternoon Tea for the Bournemouth Blogger Meetup. It was such a fun afternoon and to finish the afternoon, Emma, a blogger who runs Bournemouth Bloggers, gave us all a little Christmas something. It was so sweet of her and also very unexpected, but I opened the present and out came a little hand cream. Anti-ageing partly involves hydration status, but can also involve active ingredients to help boost collagen stimulation or to help target pigmentation," says Dr Shotter. Retinol in particular is an ingredient that is proven to improve the visible signs of aging in the skin, targeting fine lines and pigmentation, so Beauty Pie's hand cream is a particularly good option in our guide on that front. It is imperative that you apply SPF during the day if you are using retinol on your hands – our guide on how often you should use retinol has more expert advice on using this ingredient in your regime. In the GH Beauty Lab's most recent test of hand creams, scientists evaluated 17 hand creams for their ability to hydrate skin, first using the Corneometer, a device that measures skin moisture levels. We calculated a moisture reading of bare skin, then dispensed a controlled amount of each product onto testers' forearms and measured hydration content a second time. Six hours later, testers returned to the Lab for another measurement to determine which creams actually improved moisturization. After washing your hands: "Frequent handwashing can strip the skin of its natural oils. Apply hand cream immediately after washing to prevent moisture loss."INGREDIENTS: Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Paraffnum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum (Fragrance), Disodium EDTA, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydroxycitronellal, Alpha-isomethyl Ionone, Citronellol, Denatonium Benzoate, Dipropylene Glycol.
