My Experience
Let me start by saying it smells really weird. But, once you get used to it, you will actually like it and sniff your hands for it. I used this small sample only to moisturise my hands. When I had received this in February, my hands were extra dry and I was hoping to improve their state with this.

The sample is not as big that I can actually review it but I can give a decent verdict on the product because of its concentrated use on one part. It is a thick cream which I used to apply after washing my hands and it moisturised my hands pretty well and instantly. It spreads easily and gets absorbed quickly without leaving any greasiness behind.

But, I also noticed that it didn't really help my extremely dry skin which was a con but gradually, my hands came back to the normal state so I am hoping that a continuous use of the product does show effects. This is an all-purpose cream which can be used on any part of the body. And, I definitely like the smell now :)

Baviphat Paprika Whitening Hand Cream {Product Review}

Baviphat is a very popular brand in Malaysia and Singapore and Korea too. Its a Korean company. So, this was one of the goodies I won in a giveaway I mentioned sometime back. I have no idea about the price or ingredients list coz my pack didn't mention any.

My Experience

I love the small yellow capsicum tub and the smell of this cream is even more awesome though I can't really describe it. I have never used a hand cream before so I am not gonna give a comparison account but I'll say that it is very non-sticky and gets easily absorbed into the skin. I hate the creams which make my hand sticky and almost all do that so I avoid applying any cream and I am used to often washing my hands. Its a phobia with me but since I have started using this cream, my hands are comparatively softer and don't get dried up as they used to. And, this cream also moisturizes my nails and cuticles. So, yup, this one is a great product but unfortunately not available in India. But, they do have a website but its in Korean!!! Check it out here.

My Recommendation
Oh!! yes, definitely!!! And, I guess its a drug store brand so its not outrageously expensive or something.

Dabur Gulabari Moisturizing Cold Cream with Rose Extracts {Product Review}

An impulse buy!!!

Price: 26 INR (extremely affordable!!)

Ingredients

Not a complete list of ingredients.  

My Experience

On opening the bottle, first reaction is it is so cute colored - a light pink and it looks like a very light moisturizer. But, don't be fooled. It is heavy and oily. Not suitable for combination or oily skin at all. Will suit dry skin people well so gals, go for it. It smells heavily of artificial roses which I hate a lot. But, coming to the good part, it is a great cream for feet and hands. If you are the kind who has to wash hands after touching literally anything (like me), you need something to moisturize your hands regularly and this is one cream which would do just that. It acts as a great night cream for hands and feet too (imagine how oily it is as it is great for feet!!!). One great thing is that it comes in a sturdy tub which can be used after the cream finishes and it is very much affordable. One great thing is that it moisturizes the cuticles and nails too. I finished the cream so unfortunately, I don't have the pics.

My Recommendation

If you are someone who likes hand creams, you should give this a try. Very much inexpensive as opposed to the hand creams available in the market. And, this is not one of the moisturizers which makes you feel parched after getting washed off.
