Quick Review: Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand & Nail Cream

Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand & Nail Cream* is an award winning moisturiser full of wonderful skin-loving ingredients including camellia, macadamia and jojoba seed. It’s free from nasties such as parabens, mineral oils, and DEA so if you’re ingredient-conscious then this is one for you.

The scent is lovely; it’s very light and refreshing without being too overpowering. The actual texture doesn’t differ from that of many other hand creams, it’s very thick and sinks into the skin really quickly without leaving a residue behind.

My biggest issue is that I don’t feel like it’s moisturising enough. However, my hand cream preference is quite strange as I like products that leave behind a bit of a residue – mainly because my skin gets really dry, particularly around the cuticle area. I think that most people would find it adequate to use, although if you’ve got really dry, broken skin then you’ll probably need something more heavy duty.

Would I repurchase? No. It’s a huge 100ml tube so it’ll last ages, but £17-£23 is a bit extravagant for a hand cream that I’m not in love with.

Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand & Nail Cream is available from Debenhams, FeelUnique and Gorgeous Shop. Prices range from £17 to £23.
