Reviews

Bring the original back!

"This newer version does not work anywhere near as well as the original, you had a great smelling barrier cream that actually worked. This new one leaves ur hands greasy, it does not absorb into the skin and smells ordinary. After so many years of having to use multiple different hand creams, numerous times a day I found the Original hemp barrier cream and had been using that for many years, when I heard that this new one was coming in I ordered 6 tubes of the original now I have run out and I’m left disappointed trying this new version and will have too once again search high and low for something that is equal to the original."

makes my hands feel tacky sticky.

"A quite thick cream and not particularly easy to squeeze out. Puts a protective coating on my hands, but does give my hands a slimy and slippery feel which I find uncomfortable. Not sure if it is penetrating the skin but rather sitting on top of it."

— Imp (1/5)

Bring back the old formula

"Have been buying this for well over a decade. The new formula is HORRIBLE. It was the best hand cream ever and I was actually so so upset to find it’s changed. Unfortunately I won’t be buying again and it was the only product I’d buy from body shop! Sadly will have to look elsewhere."

— Tihana H. (1/5)

Works amazing!

"First hand cream from Body Shop and I'm very impressed! Always soothes my incredibly dry hands. It smells amazing too and absorbs really well into my skin - my hands don't get too slippery after applying it. Definitely will consider buying again!!!"

— Saraf (5/5)

Using for more than 8 years

"This is the only cream that works for my very dry hands. I have one in my car and another one in my side table!"

— Val (5/5)

"Love this hand cream, really deep moisturising, great to use all year round"

— Joanne (5/5)

Why the change

"I've been using this for over 20 years. I keep trying to convince myself its fantastic. When its actually ok. Why the change in formula? By looking at the reviews maybe someone should start listening. I don't think i can purchase it again."

— Kaxx (3/5)

Why did you change the formula?

"The new formula is terrible. The cheap lemon smell reminds me of the hand creams in $2 shops and the protection is equally substandard. . . I am so sorry to have to say goodbye to the best hand cream ever existed and I will miss it dearly. Bring back the old formula please!"

— Chris (2/5)

Amazing!!!

"Loved how quickly it absorbed into the skin and it left my hands feeling soft and not sticky at all"

— Jess (5/5)

Bring Back the Original

"I genuinely hate the new formula. . it doesn't have any protection, but sadly I haven't been able to find anything to compare to the original. . That was awesome. . I hope if they bring it back I receive a notification. . Finger's X 🤞"
