Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm 2.6 oz



After using most of the Loccitane hand creams, I wanted to try something new. I was browsing for a new hand cream to try, and decided on this Aesop hand cream.

Initially I thought it would be a clear balm, but it is actually a light yellow cream. I like that it has natural ingredients and smells like aromatic herbs and flowers, which can be therapeutic at times. However, it is lacking when it comes to its moisturizing ability. No matter the amount or how often I apply it, there is no noticeable difference in the appearance and texture of my hands. My hands do not look hydrated or feel soft.

The packaging reminds me of a paint tube, which is cute. The problem with this type of packaging is that it gets dented easily, especially when I carry it in my purse. I don't think this Aesop hand cream is worth the price of $27 plus shipping. I say skip this one.
