Neutrogena Age Shield Hand Cream with helioplex Review

I bought Neutrogena's Age Shield hand cream with SPF 30 after a friend recommended Neutrogena's hand cream.  I opted for the version with SPF because I have a higher risk of skin cancer than the average person.  I thought I could moisturize while protecting my hands from aging sun rays.  I was not impressed and I will not buy this product again.

The moisturizing effects of this hand cream are so-so.  It feels more like a sunblock on my hands than a moisturizing hand cream.  If you put it on your hands, be sure you don't touch your face afterward.  It is too harsh for the face, and it feels greasy.  After touching my cheeks, they were reddened.

The worst feature of this hand cream is the smell.  It is scented, but it still smells strongly like sunscreen.  The fragrance is awful.  I wish this hand cream came in an unscented version.  If it did, I would possibly consider it again.  I also wish it left a smooth feeling on your hands, rather than a coated, thick feeling.

If you use this product, save it for intense moisturizing needs and only use it when you will be getting sun on your hands.  Otherwise, use something more pleasant!
