Maybe people aren't getting an accurate representation of this cream. Check the date on bottle. The year is the middle digits in the code stamped on the bottom. BB says that their products are good for 2 yrs.. I have had older bottles that I actually bought on the shelves from stores and they smelt rancid and they will go on very sticky/tachy feeling. So if anyone is having a bad experience, check out the date. I got a fresh bottle and it is great smelling and goes on creamy. My skin is so dry that it soaks in very quickly and will not be greasy. Maybe one should use less in the daytime--a little goes a long way. In the night I use more with gloves or socks on. Ladies, get wise and check the date. You realize, this product has natural perseratives, so it won't last as long as synthetics. But, that's why we like it because it is so natural. Also, be careful of kits. They have different dates inside and you might be getting some older product and you will get a false representation again. I was going to order some BBproducts here so I hope that Drugstore.com is giving out fresh products. I know my last order of different products here were very fresh, with great dates, so I am hopeful! I hope this helps some, and enjoy your Burts Bees--I do!

My first foray into the Burt's Bees line of products was their Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme, which is fabulous! Therefore, I was sorely disappointed with this Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme. Not only is the name ridiculously long, but the product itself is ridiculously ineffective.

The consistency is definitely too heavy for daytime use. I tried using the creme at night before bed, but it would never absorb; it just sat greasily on my skin and did not provide any moisturization.

My next step was trying it as a foot creme, at night, with cotton socks. I was hoping in vain that keeping my feet covered would magically make the creme more effective than it had been on my hands. Wrong! If anything, my feet were DRIER in the morning. Unbelievable.

Well, that was my last-ditch effort in finding a practical use for this glorified lard. Rather than tossing it in the garbage and wasting it completely, I'll probably bring it into work and leave it in the ladies' room; even though it has been used, I'm sure some orphany wretch will snatch it up for the brand name alone.

Too Heavy

Pros

  • Moisturizing

Cons

  • Greasy

Best Uses

  • Dry Skin

Comments about Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme, 2 oz:

I found this hand cream too heavy and not suitable for a fruquent use. I have extremely dry hands and wear hand cream all the time so I need something lighter and quick absorbent. This hand cream is very moisturizing but too thick and greasy. It's great for a nighttime care with cotton gloves, though. The almond scent is nice but a little strong.

Comments about Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme, 2 oz:

Have you ever noticed that about five-ten minutes after you put lotion on your hands, they seem to be dry again? I only recently discovered that this is because one of the ingredients in almost all hand lotions is alcohol which, of course, dries out your skin. Out of curiosity, I checked my three favorite hand lotions (my skin gets quite dry in the winter, as I live in Maine), from budget Neutrogena Norwegian Formula, to the middle-priced Burt's Bees, to the much more expensive Philosophy Hope in a Tube; the only one that doesn't have alcohol as an ingredient is Burt's Bees.

While I certainly can find the super thick consistency annoying. I've gotten used to it, and it definitely does a lot more permanent repair for my hands.

    I work in an office where the AC runs constantly which dries out my skin. I keep a jar at my desk to keep my hands well-moisturized. Once absorbed, doesn't leave a greasy residue!

      The smell of almond is very subtle and delightful. I use the hand lotion daily and get compliments when peers see me use it and I offer to let them try it. They to like how the hand cream is non greasy and leaves their hands feeling and looking great.

            I didn't care for this item at all. It was greasy. By the time you use it once to cover both hands, it's as though you already hav about 1/6 of the product gone. For the price, there should be more. I will not be buying again.

                I used this 4-5 times a day on the rash that comes with shingles. Along with the pill meds, the rash healed in a week, much to the surprise of my Dr. It soothed the itching and pain. I will always have some around!

                  Love this stuff. While it's a tiny bit greasy, for me this works perfectly as I need and wanted a deeply moisturizing organic or natural hand cream. The smell is just wonderful. Highly recommended.

                  i like this product. don't care for the scent, but it's tolerable. i use it at night as a foot cream. no more waking up in the middle of the night with itchy, dry feet. i only use it at night as a hand cream 'cause it's too greasy otherwise.
