I would definately like to try the hand cream, I have tried the eye makeup removal and that is an excellent product seeing as I have got terribly sensitive skin it suited my skin wonderfully
Would like to try the hand cream, I am always working with water and my hands get so dry, would like to have a cream that keeps it soft.
i would love to put this product to the test! My hands are always put to the test working with chemicals and then coming home to my two kids! They often get dry and crack and become very sore!
very good for sensitive skin. light and gentle
Love the hand cream. Absorbs quickly and leaves hands soft
I trialled the hand cream It is fantastic. No greasy residue and my hands were left soft. A great product.
fantastic hand cream hands left soft and not greasy
I have been using th QV hand cream for 3 days now and I am loving it.
It gives a great coverage without having to use a massive amount, it doesn’t leave your hands greasy and soaks in quickly and there is no fragrance (which I love).
It has really lived up the expectation that I set for it!!!
I have been using this for the last week and I think it is excellent. I have a job where I work with my hands and they get very dry. Usually moisturisers leave my hands greasy so I can’t use them during the shift but I could use this and less than 5 mins later I was ready to get back to work. It also leaves your hands wonderfully smooth!
I have tried the hand cream and it is really good and working . As I am working in the health sector I am constantly washing my hands and have really dry skin. The QV handcream helps me to keep my hands moist and nurished.
I was very lucky to test the QV hand cream. I found it to be non greasy very wasy to use i would reccomend this product.My hands felt like silk.
I have liked and disliked this product. Over all I would say that my experience is more negative.
I don’t like how the ingredients have Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), which is known for clogging pores. I normally avoid this product because it traps toxins under the skin that normal is excreted through the pores.
Methylparaben is known, and has been proven to increase the oxidative stress on the skin when it is exposed to UVB rays.
The lack of smell wasn’t very appealing. I love my hands to have a nice subtle smell and the use of essential oils may not have affected the use for sensitive skin.
And the Propylparaben – are any parabens good? Why is there so many preservatives within this product. There is hardly any ingredients at all..All parabens have been linked time and time again to breast cancer.
Mostly I don’t like the way that it makes my hands feel tight a few minutes after applying the moisturiser. So although my feedback is going to be surely deleted….
That is my thoughts on this new product.
There are so many more wonderful ingredients out there, why not just spend slightly more money and make your products safe for human use.
Hi Kristal,
Paraffins are widely used in cosmetics for their emollient and moisturising properties. They are often accused of blocking the pores, however historical data and current testing have shown that this is not so. Topical products can contain high levels of paraffins and remain non-comedogenic.
The choice to use paraben preservatives in our products was a considered decision based on an in depth review of the history of their application in the food, medication and cosmetic industries.
Parabens, particularly methyl and propyl paraben, are the most commonly used preservatives in cosmetics. They are considered by industry experts to be amongst the most effective and safest preservatives available. They have been in use since their invention in Europe in the 1920s, and exhibit a very low incidence of irritation or sensitisation even when applied to damaged or broken skin. The initial studies linking the use of paraffins to breast cancer have since been refuted in the medical literature.
Thanks for your feedback, we are always interested to hear our Test Driver’s concerns and thoughts!

It was interesting to read Kristins comments, even better to read the reply from QV which was very informative. Thankyou for taking all feedback seriously.
I have found QV Hand Cream to be great for my dry, cracked and calloused hands, however, after using it for a week and then forgetting to apply it for 2 days left my hands extremely dry, maybe even dryer than before I started using the cream. Guess I’ll just have to keep on using it! I really liked how the product was absorbed quickly with no residue, this meant it could be applied at any time of the day.
I have been test driving this product. it is really nice, feels rich to start but rubs in very well into the skin. It’s non-greasy, there is no fragrance in it either.
The hand cream isn’t greasy even when I applied a generous amount as my skin absorbed the cream in quite quickly. My hands aren’t usually very dry but the the moisture from the hand cream provided that added softness in between applications.
I am a mum of 4 and part time cleaner. I have been using this product for a few weeks and I love it! I have extremely dry hands and I have noticed that it is really absorbant and not greasy. It feels like it is working to moisturise your hands straight away. The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of fragrance, but it is such a great product, I don’t mind. I strongly encourage anyone to try it.
i have tried this product qv hand cream and thought it was very good, dosent get to oily on the hands soaks right in.. good product…hands feel nice and soft after use and last for quite some time on your skin…
Easily absorbed and leaves my hands feeling lovely for quite a long while.
Thankyou for the opportunity to trial this product. I like the non greasy feel, and it seems to moisturise my hands well. However they soon dry out again, and I find I’m having to reapply many times throughout the day. My only other concern would be that perhaps the opening on the tube could be smaller. It’s a little too easy to get the product out and easy to end up with too much.
Hi – I do alot of gardening up here in the tropics of late getting the vege patch going and my hands are forever in and out of soap and water – they are mainly dry and sometimes feels hot and burny. I have used the QV hand cream sample and they feel great!! The cream just soaked into my skin and it felt automatically cool……the cream is not heavy or greasy and doesn’t stink. My skin did not flare up with the cream. I love it because it’s also not filled with junky chemicals – so I would thoroughly recommend the product to try!! I am waiting to see how my hands are long term. Thanks for the opportunity!
WOW! I just love this hand cream!
I would love to be able to wrap my whole body in its smooth satiny cocoon. I cant believe how relieving it is for my very tired dry skin. I love that its non greasy so I can get on with knitting and embroidery knowing it wont stain and that I wont lose control of the needle(s). Ive even had clients comment that my hands feels so soft when they shake it.
Im always looking for new hand creams that wont be greasy and now I have found it – I shall be off to purchase this ASAP. I have shared it with all the other females in the house and they all feel the same way – even my husband had a go and he thought it was great – especially that it didnt smell girly.
thanks for the opportunity to test drive QV Hand Cream
Thank you for the generous trial size – I have very sensitive skin and recurring dermatitis. This is without a doubt the best product I have used. I love the fact that it dries within seconds, there is no greasy residue, and no cloying fragrance. I will certainly continue using it in bucketloads!
I liked this product. It’s a decent size, it’s affordable, non greasy and suitable for sensitive skin. I do have a few cons about the product, the packaging is designed in a way that it’s extremely easy to sqeeze out too much product (you only need a pea size), just be mindful of that. Another thing is, I have calluses and rough hands from playing the guitar, I don’t find this product as concentrated enough to deeply moisturise my hands, but this may be change in the long term as I have only used this for less than a week. I think this is fantastic for people with any skin type (particularly those with sensitive skin) who don’t have much problems with their hands. It’s for people who want something light in texture to quickly hydrate their hands.
I have tried many hand creams and this is the first that I have found not to be greasy. Amazingly absorbs into the skin leaving hands smooth and soft. Love it QV.
The hand cream is thick and rich, yet non greasy and absorbs really well which is fantastic.
I enjoyed trialling the product which was very gentle on my very dry hands. It was non greasy and because it has no fragrance didn’t irritate my skin which some other hand ceams do.
I have extremely dry skin. The cream was well absorbed. It did not leave a greasy residue. It did not stain my clothes. I loved it!
I absolutely loved the hand cream! I wash my hands alot through the day and my hands have never felt better! The hand cream is not oily at all! Love it
I trialled the hand cream. I have been using moisturisers and hand wash from QV.
Hand cream is non greasy and best of all fragrance free!! Does not get food smelly when you are cooking.
I love it, I have really dry hands this is the best hand cream I have ever used and I have tried lots of different ones !!
Thank you for sending the handcream to trial. I wash my hands frequently at work & loved how the cream made my hands so smooth & non greasy. I will be buying it from now on.
I like the way it leaves my hands feeling replenished. It is thick but not hard to rub in and it only takes a short period of time too rub it in. I used it at night and in the mornings when needed (which was only for the first 2 days and again after my morning in the garden).
My hands were in quite a state when I got this, very dry and a bit scratched from doing hands-on work that I wasn’t used to.
Just two days later my hands feel soft which is strange, I wasn’t expecting such a turn around.
As a person who tries to avoid chemicals, I was happy wih the ingredients list and as everyone else has said, it’s very non-greasy so i don’t have to worry about putting my hands out of action for a while every time I use it.
The hand cream is really good gentle and non greasy on the hand. Love how it work so well on my dry skin after 3 days.
Great hand cream. Especially like the fact that it doesn’t leave a residue and you can get on with your day.
This is the first and only hand cream that claims to be non greasy that actually really is non greasy! Quite amazing feeling, it dries instantly. And even after washing hands (which annoys me greatly if Ive just put hand cream on a few minutes ago), i dont feel the cream sliming off.
Good stuff
my hand is totally wringkly and the first time i used the product i just notice a changes in my hands , the products is good as it doesnt leave your skin looks shinny or looks oily.. i been using it for a week now and i could say im so happy with it, i will never hesitate to recommend it to someone… thanks
I am midwife working in a hospital, I wash my hands at least 100 times a day, wearing gloves on/off, washing hands again,.I used QV trial hand cream and found it absolutely fantastic, it felt greasy for about 20secs then it absorbed and my hands felt really soft, and not sore at the end of the day, I even passed it around at work and all the girls went out and bought some. Thanks QV wish we had it on tap in the hospital.
EXCELLENT hand cream. It definitely lives up to what it claims to be, non greasy, is easily absorbed into the skin, and best of all, it leaves your skin velvety smooth!
Definitely a great hand cream, I would recommend for all users.
I loved this hand cream. It was smooth and creamy (sounds like a pasta dish!!), and didn’t leave my hands feeling greasy. My daughter has also been using it, and has found it to be helping her dry skin, so we will definitely be continuing to use this product.
I was very impressed with this product and, as a sufferer of dermatitis on my hands, I am constantly applying hand cream. I found that this product not only moisturized my hands, but had a lovely silky feel and a delightful stumble perfume. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to trial this product. I have been using your products for many years and with products such as this one, you ensure that I will continue being a user of your products for many years to come.
first one to really soak and not hurt recommend to any one.
I have been using the Hand Cream for a week or so now and am very happy with the results. I like that it is sensitive to my skin and I do not have to reapply every couple of hours like other hand creams, it keeps my hands soft all day. I would definitely recommend it.
I loved this! I like that it has no fragrance and it absorbed very quickly. After a few days, my hands were very soft, despite the frequent handwashing. I would buy this in multiples – one for the drawer at work and another for the handbag. Great product.
