My Experience:

Hand creams are a must in my stash. I have one in my hand bag, one at my workplace and a third one on my dresser. My hands usually are dry and toilet paper is another thing that makes the hands dry further. I have gone through a fair share of hand creams. I can begin my review by safely saying that Garnier's Intensive 7 days smoothing hand cream is one of my favorites. I liked it performance wise. the texture is very smooth and spreads easily onto the skin. It does feel a bit heavy and balmy on the skin but absorbs quickly leaving no greasy residue.

It does make the hands soft and hydrated. I feel as if it forms a protective film over the skin which lasts at least one wash but at the same time it does not feel heavy on the skin after absorbing. It has a strong floral fragrance which lasts a good while. Those who are sensitive to smell may not find it an appealing feature. I have used this cream when Winters were in full swing and my hands were all wrinkly due to excessive dryness. The cream performed really well. I have used it in Summers as well and not found it to be greasy. 

Over all this cream has a great balance of providing the much needed moisture and hydration needed by skin and smoothening the skin without over doing it. Its safe to say this product has successfully made up to my repurchase list.
