This hand cream is truly a cure for dry, cracked cuticles and hands. It is also great on feet and elbows or any other very dry spots. The scent is of sweet almond and the consistency is very thick, almost like a moisturing paste. As always, Burts products are all natural, so you can feel responsible about your choice of hand cream. The only down side of this product is the greasiness right after application. This is why I recommend using it at night with or without a pair of gloves.
