Love this hand cream! Date: November 8, 2009
"I love this cream, it's worked wonders on my hands. I live in the Colorado Rockies, a dry climate, and can see a definite difference in my skin since I started using the African Shea Butter. I wish Avon made it in a larger size, a bottle with a pump would be wonderful to keep at the kitchen sink as well as the bathroom vanity."

Let me count the ways Date: October 26, 2009
"How do I love the African Shea Butter products? It's hard to say -- from the amazing scent of warm vanilla, sugar, and caramel, to the non-greasy feel, to the way they continuously moisturize, every one of them is aromatherapy in a tube. I just got this product and keep it handy on my desk for whenever I need a quick escape to somewhere warm and beautiful. I love it!!!"

Favorite hand cream scent of all time Date: October 24, 2009
"This is my favorite hand cream. It soaks right in and is non greasy. I keep a tube by my computer, in my gym bag and in my purse.

The scent is so delicious I could eat it and often open the tube just to sniff it.

Avon needs to supply this in bigger tubes, hint, hint..

My all time favorite Avon Item! Date: September 20, 2009
"I bought about a dozen of these a few years ago and was disappointed when they were removed from the catalog a while back. I used them sparingly in the winter months because I didn't want to use them all and then have none.

I am going to buy another dozen right now.

You won't be disappointed.

Unpleasant smell Date: September 7, 2009
"I have to agree with the other reviewers regarding the smell... I can't even tell you how much I like the cream because it wasn't on long enough. The smell reminded me of kettle corn at a carnival. Very strong sweet butter smell. Not nice. I bought the body balm too and both are sitting on the shelf untouched.

I don't like products that smell like carnival food.

Wonderful! Date: August 27, 2009
"I have to use lotion each time I wash my hands. A lot of lotions and hand creams are not very hydrating. This stuff is WONDERFUL! It soaks right into the skin and keeps your hands feeling soft and hydrated! The smell is amazing too! I loveee sweet smells- it's very vanilla/buttery.. in the best of ways! When I smell it, it sorta smells like melted butter..but it's good!"

Best Night Treatment I've Found Date: August 25, 2009
"This is a little pricey for me to use all the time, but I like to put on the Moisture Therapy Hand Cream with A & E, then I put this on over it & a pair of white cotton gloves when I go to bed. With the gloves on the scent isn't too strong."

VERY Strong Smell Date: June 30, 2009
"I bought this along with the body balm. I gave it 3 stars because both leave my skin very soft but the smell (like toasted/burnt marshamallows) is so strong that my husband couldn't stand to be around me when I wore it. I ended up giving it to friend."

Excellent product Date: June 15, 2009
"Love the smell and love that it leaves my hands soft, silky and smooth. I was looking for a product that would do exactly that and I found it at Avon. I fell in love with the smell, every time I put it on I want to eat it, it even makes me hungry for some sweets, it smells very very yummy. Too bad the size is so small other than that it is absolutely worth buying it."

Heaven in a Tube Date: June 14, 2009
"This smells like Heaven in a tube, lasts through several hand washings and leaves my winter hands feeling so soft. It is also a favorite with several of my customers. I just wish it was also available in a bigger tube."

"I love the smell and feel of this product; it really helps with my nails and cuticles. I once used Rich Moisture Hand & Nail Cream until Avon discontinued it a few years back. I have missed it ever since and finally found this product which does the job! I just wish it was BIGGER!"

"pros: rubs in quickly, relieves dryness, relieves tightness, average moisturization

cons: provides no "glow" to the skin, doesn't last long at all, smells like a cross between marshmallows and popcorn-flavored jelly belly's.

Strong, unpleasant smell Date: March 29, 2009
"This cream smelled really good at first, but after a few minutes the pleasant smell faded and I was left with hands that smelled strongly of butter. It was almost nauseating. I had to wash it off my hands.

I've loved almost every Avon product I've tried, but this one needs some work.

Love it Date: February 13, 2009
"This hand cream is so luxurious, it really does feel like you're at a spa. The only reason i gave it 4 stars instead of five is because the tube is sooooo small. AVON please make a larger bottle of this stuff. Also this cream smells like marshmallows, which i love lol"

Very Small Tube but Great Product! Date: November 15, 2008
"This stuff is very silky and luxurious and is comparable to Avon's Silicone Hand Cream which is the only hand cream that has every worked for my dry, cracked, bleeding hands which are due to my OCD of washing them compulsively. So I am using this in conjunction with that and both are simply marvelous, this smells very nice as well. I just love the fact that it is not greasy at all, which is hard to come by in a lotion that really moisturizes like it is supposed to. My hands haven't looked this good in ages since I have tried this product and the Silicone Glove Cream. I only got them yesterday, that's how quickly and effectively they work! I'm amazed and I will buy more of this in the future! I can't wait to try all of the Planet Spa products. I'm sure they are equally as wonderful."
