My Experience:
I picked up this products from Boots at BurJuman Centre, Dubai this year. Soap & Glory products were on an attractive buy one get another free offer and I could not resist the temptation.
Soap & Glory's Hand Food has been quite a hit amongst many a beauty Gurus on the Internet. I decided to give it a try as my hands need moisture every few hours or at least post my innumerable and frequent hand washes. My hand creams are one of those essentials that are always perched by my bedside tables, tucked safely in to my hand bags and lying around on countertops at home. In simple terms, I am a Hand Cream fanatic.
Therefore when I noticed this much raved product I grinned with excitement. I finally had my hands on what the net claims to be the best of its kind.
The adorable pink packaging certainly reminds me of marshmallows and bubble gum. It has quite casual and quirky text on it making it even hard to resist.
So is this really the most astonishing hand cream ever?

| Can this dream cream really mend a hand? |
No. You have read it right - it ain't. The white coloured cream has a rather disturbing smell which is far from fabulous. I just cannot muster the courage to apply this in public. And I ain't kidding.
It does keep your hands moisturised but not for long. Quite soon after application parts of my hands start feeling patchy in certain areas.
The consistency also changes within a few weeks from a thick creamy one to a more uncontrollable running liquid which pushes its way out of the tube.
This product has certainly not lived up to its claims - at least for me and I am trying to finish this tube at home. Only to avoid the guilt of dumping a usable product in to the trash.
There are definitely better hand creams with tolerable scents and amazing consistency that are available on drug store shelves ready to be picked up at pocket friendly prices.
What a dud amongst the much celebrated Soap & Glory line of products.
So, do I recommended it?
Sorry fellas, but this has certainly disappointed me. Therefore it is a No.
