USER'S OPINION
Anonymous "It's worth it"
This stuff is GREAT!! It takes a while to absorb, but it's worth it! It makes your hands smooth, soft, and just plain healthy looking! My hands have never looked better!
Amy "Smooth, shiny & young"
Well, I for one LIKE the smell and like all BB products, it goes away quickly. It is thick, but that's the point. It DOES say "beeswax", so that's what you get. Rub it in REALLY well, including the fingers, and watch a sitcom or something. By the time it's over, the creme will have absorbed and your hands will look smooth, shiny and young. I LOVE this stuff!!!
Amber "Yum"
Yum! This creme smells amazing! A little certainly goes a long way. I don't use it as a day creme, but at night it's wonderful. It absorbs into my skin and leaves my hands feeling so soft.
Paulina "98% natural"
98% natural. What other hand creme can claim that? Smells delicious. If you love the smell, sadly it does not last. If you dislike the smell, lucky you as it dissipates in 20 minutes. The best hand cream I have ever tried. I also use it on my feet at night. I love this, as well as their carrot night cream!!!
Karen "Highly recommended"
My cuticles crack, tear, bleed...often a ragged tear peels down an inch or so & leaves a bleeding, denuded area on a finger. Painful! But since using this my hands are finally healing. I'm a nurse & wash my hands endlessly. Open areas of skin are entries for germs & disease. But this product LASTS through several washings. The beeswax waterproofs & seals in moisture. And the raw areas are fading! Smells like the old original Jergens lotion but stronger. Pure almond. Concentrated too...a tiny amount covers both hands. Definitely worth the price, & highly recommended! You have nothing to lose but dry cracked/peeling skin.

Not recommended. The moisturizing factor quickly dissipates. At first, it feels great, but in an hour or two, the effect leaves a waxy, strange feeling on your skin. Straight Vaseline works better, although the smell of this product is nice.
Anonymous "definitely buy this again"
I love this hand creme. I didn't think I would because I don't normally love almond. This product has changed my mind. I gave a jar of it to my mother and she loves it as much as I do. Will definitely be buying this again.
Glory "It's the best"
This is one of the best hand cremes out there! I am a studio art major, thus i am constantly exposing my hands to soaps, solvents, and rough treatment. This keeps my hands soft and keeps my cuticles from getting too wild. I wouldn't call it greasy, but I would suggest that you put this on when you will be relaxing or not working with anything that is sensitive to grease (like lithography). Cheers, Burt!
Anonymous "Amazing"
In Colorado my skin has become excessively dry. My legs were actually flaking! I just found this and what an amazing difference! My skin is becoming soft and pretty again. I have very sensitive skin and can still use it and everyone loves the smell. Even with allergies, the smell doesn't bother me. I love the great smell. Thanks to Burt's Bees I will no longer be ashamed of my skin again.
Christine "Beautiful"
It works beautifully even on very dry skin, and it smells like the God of Almonds. Wonderful stuff.
Carolan "Terrific creme"
The best way to use this terrific creme is to slather it on generously at bedtime and wear cotton gloves overnight. Look at it more like a nightly treatment than a daily creme that you can just rub on and go. I've also used it on elbows, knees, and feet. I love the way it smells - like my homemade almond butter cookies! :) Wonderful for winter-dry skin.

Absolutely love this stuff! Love the almond scent. I keep a bottle by my kitchen sink and I use it after washing dishes or before heading out into the cold dry Minnesota winter. I gave bottles to several friends for Christmas as well-spreading the Burt's Bees love!
Melissa "Really like it"
I first tried this item in the Head to Toe Sample Kit and now I am back to buy a full size. My hands encounter quite a bit during the day and are often dry and cracked from washing them so much. This product fixed that! Note: I have tried far more expensive products and none have produced as good of a result as this one. As far as the scent, the first ingredient is "sweet almond oil" and as soon as you smell it you know that's true. It's somewhat of a strong scent but I really liked it. It also goes on a little greasy, BUT nothing has left my hands feeling softer (after it absorbs in). This combined with the Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme has completely restored my hands.
Alexis "Fabulous & intoxicating"
I love this hand creme. The smell is fabulous and intoxicating; it is a bit strong at first, but it fades. I get compliments on the smell all the time. It is wonderfully moisturizing and a little goes a long way. I have very dry skin, especially in the winter, and it absorbs well. Again, the trick is to not use too much. I love this on my elbows as well.
Candace "Smells amazing"
I LOVE this product! I can't believe anyone wouldn't love the smell of this hand creme. It smells amazing! And it goes right into your skin. The only way it would be "greasy", is if you literally dumped it all over your hands. As with any good product, a little goes a long way. Also, this is the type of product that is meant to be left by the kitchen sink or in the bathroom. It's terrific for after you've done the dishes, taken a shower, washed your hands, etc. Right up there with L'Occitane as one of my favorite hand cremes.
Erika "It was greasy"
This product was disappointing for a Burts Bees product. The smell was very strong and not what I expected from other Almond type lotions I have used. I normally like almond scents, but this one smelled almost like the actual almond extract was put right in. It was also very greasy to the touch. I put it on, and my hands felt so greasy that I had to go wash them.
Anonymous "protects & smoothes my skin"
My hands were extremely dry until I started using this product. This product is thick and smells like roasted almonds. It doe protects, hydrates and smoothes my skin.
Andrea "Use this product"
This is a terrific late day treat when all the housework and dishes are done. It smells great and works wonders on dry, rough and tired hands. Perfect for after the bath and lounging with a cup of tea. Just note that the creme is dense and takes a few minutes to really soak in. You may want to use it before bedtime - perhaps even with a nice pair of cotton gloves to help with extra moisturizing. If you have dry, scaly hand problems like me, buy this product.

I bought this for the almond smell, and it had anything but that. It smelled like vaseline/candle wax.
Mary ""
The only reason I give this four stars is because of the smell, almond isn't my favorite. BUT it is a fine cream for moist skin, not dry! The time to use it is when your hands have just come out of the dish water or shower because there's no water in it and the oils can sink in to your skin instead of hanging around on top being greasy. I have even wet my hands before using it, and only use a pea sized amount. If this came in a different smell besides banana, I'd probably be totally sold but certainly like it well enough now to buy it again.
Anonymous "Fabulous"
I love this hand creme! I like to put it on before I go to bed. It smells divine and does a great job moisturizing. It is perfect for the dry weather I live in and for my very sensitive skin. Fabulous!
P C "Love almonds"
If you love almonds, you'll love this lotion. It smells like marzipan and works wonders on my hands. I've had a problem with dry, cracked, and peeling skin on my hands from washing and exposure to detergents. Your hands are the first part of the body to show signs of aging. Using the Almond Milk Hand Creme has worked wonders. After just a day of using this product, my skin was soft and smooth. Though the lotion is initially a little sticky, if you to wash your hands afterward the stickiness will be gone, but the emollient properties of the lotion will have soaked into your skin. I love this product and use it regularly.
Mary Beth "Great for dry skin"
This product is wonderful at moisturizing; it really does the trick. I found the smell to be a little weird, but not totally unpleasant upon application. After 5 minutes, the original smell seems to turn into something sickening that smells like rotten oil or something. It reminds me of their banana hand cream, which did exactly the same thing, and I had to throw it out. I'm not sure if the all-natural content of it doesn't hold a scent well or what. It's too bad, because it's great for dry skin.
Anonymous "It prevents cracking of my hands"
I love the smell! Living in the very cold Northeast, this is the only cream that I have found to prevent cracking of my hands. A must have for winter!
Jamie ""
This stuff is awesome! I can't do without a jar of it by my sink. It does go on slightly greasy, but like any beeswax product, it actually binds to your top layer of skin, so it doesn't _stay_ greasy. It's great for cold weather, or for those who wash their hands frequently. As a diabetic, I sometimes have problems with dry skin; I give BB's 5 stars for this one.
Jayne "My family loves the smell"
This is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! It not only smells great like almonds and honey, but your hands are so soft and feel great! I really do LOVE THIS HAND CREAM!! My hands are really dry from washing them so much for and during cooking, that this is the only thing that makes them soft, supple and smelling sweet. My family loves the smell!
Janet "Absolutely love the smell of this product"
I absolutely LOVE the smell of this hand creme! It also makes my hands really soft. I do think it's a little expensive for the amount you get. Also, I wish it had a sunscreen added to it. I have very sensitive skin and must use products containing a sunscreen when I go outside. I save this hand creme to apply right before I go to bed.
Ginger A "The best hand treatment"
This the best hand treatment! I have a little one in diapers so I wash my hands constantly throughout the day and over the winter my hands were dry and chapped. I put this on every night at bed time and by morning my hands looked and felt wonderful and it does smell delicious.
Anonymous "Good job"
This hand cream stuff does a good job, but has an almond smell. If you like almonds, buy it.
Anonymous "Too thick for me"
Smells like Marzipan, which I love. However, it was way too thick and made my hands feel like they had plastic on them. Even using a pea size amount did not help.
Sarah "My favorite hand cream"
This is my very favorite hand cream, and I love a lot of products. My hands crack in the winter and this is the only thing that has really worked to make them better. The smell is awesome, and it disappears after a couple minutes or if you rub it in enough. And, it makes your skin super soft (as long as you don't use too much).
Erin "Cuticle Savior"
I had cracked, flaking, rough cuticles and with one use of this overnight they were so soft, I'll never use anything else!
