Kitchen worker says £5 ‘nourishing’ cream ‘makes hands soft’ after a day’s work

The Give Me Cosmetics is enriched with coconut oil and shea butter to hydrate hands

Beauty enthusiasts are singing praises for a £5 hand cream, described as ‘the most amazing’ moisturiser they’ve ever used. The Coconut Oil and Shea Butter Hand Cream is currently priced at £4.99, down from £7.99 on the Give Me Cosmetics website, (save £3).

The hand cream, enriched with hydrating and nourishing properties, promises to deliver moisture and softness for dry hands. Its lightweight formula is said to easily absorb into the skin, leaving no greasy residue, just smooth, supple hands that stay hydrated for up to 24 hours.

Infused with the scent of coconuts, the cream aims to help with cracked dry hands while providing a refreshing smell, according to Give Me Cosmetics. The combination of Sweet Almond Oil and Grapeseed Oil helps soothe irritation, improve skin texture, and protect against dryness caused by frequent washing or harsh environments, reports Birmingham Live.

This vegan-friendly hand cream, suitable for dry to severely dry skin, claims to restore the skin’s natural barrier, strengthen its moisture retention and keep hands feeling soft. Moreover, Give Me Cosmetics has plenty more to offer in its Black Friday sale.

For instance, there’s the Skincare Starter Set, valued at £61.95 but available for £21.99, saving buyers £39.96. This set includes a five-step routine designed to cleanse, tone, hydrate and refresh skin.

Crafted for individuals new to skincare or those with sensitive skin, this collection avoids potent active ingredients. Every item has been carefully developed to deliver a silky, radiant complexion.

Begin a morning routine with the Green Tea and Vitamin E Cleansing Balm that dissolves cosmetics, grime and pollutants whilst moisturising and calming the skin. Continue by using the Witch Hazel Face Toner to minimise pores, even out your skin tone, and prevent spots from appearing.

Then, the Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol Face Serum provides moisture and encourages smoother, more luminous skin, whilst the Vitamin E Eye Cream targets puffiness and dark shadows for a refreshed appearance. Complete the routine with the featherlight Day Cream, which seals in hydration and leaves skin feeling supple, revitalised and glowing.

For other options, Boots also stocks its Boots Vitamin C Brightening Hand and Nail Serum, 85ml, for £3.30 on its website. This suits all skin varieties and helps to ‘moisturise and restore dry skin’ for healthy-looking and nourished hands and nails.

LookFantastic also stocks The Ordinary The Bright Set, which is worth £26.60, priced at £21.30. This includes two serums and a bestselling toner that reportedly leaves complexions with a ‘visible glow’.

The Give Me Cosmetics hand cream has received excellent reviews on its website, though. One customer commented: “Most amazing hand cream I have ever used, smells amazing.”

Another satisfied customer said: “Love this hand cream. I work in a kitchen so this cream makes my hands soft at the end of the day and it smells amazing.”

Another user thought it was decent, stating: “Smells ok, love the texture and hands feel softer.”

A fourth person added: “Great all-rounder for working hands. Very nourished.”

In general, most users were pleased with the cream, with one person noting: “I love this hand cream as it smells lovely and really helps my dry hands. The size is good for popping into my handbag and keeping next to my bed. Excellent product and price.”
