KEY INGREDIENTS:

Avocado Oil
Ah’-voh-KAH-doh OY-il
Avocado Oil, derived from the fruit of a tropical American tree, is a rich, fatty-acid emollient. Avocado Oil is known to be the most moisturizing of any fruit oil. It is also a natural source of Amino Acid proteins, Vitamins A, D, E, and potassium. Helps to restore the natural moisture of the skin.

Sesame Oil
SEH-sah'-mee OY-il
Sesame Oil, which is a refined moisturizing oil derived from Sesame Seeds, has the same emollient properties as other nut and vegetable oils and is commonly used as a carrier oil for skin care products. Absorbs easily and softens the skin.


Formulated for the driest, most active hands, this heavy-duty moisture treatment is a thick, rich formula offering all-day care and protection. Our blend of select ingredients allows skin to actually draw and absorb water from the air, forming a "glove-like" protective barrier against moisture loss. This formula, which contains a blend of botanical oils as well as natural wax derived from Olives Oil, further soothes, moisturizes and conditions skin. This most effective preparation helps protect against and repair the appearance of severe dryness caused by heavy industrial work, manual labor, neglect, or exposure to harsh elements.

TO USE:
To address severe dryness apply liberally to clean hands. For best results, reapply to hands after washing.

One thing i like about Kiehl's is that they mean serious business. You can tell from their shops, with the whole scientist lab setup and assistants wearing lab coats, this brand takes its products seriously. Even the products look like medical prescriptions, in a way, but not in a bad way.



The product packaging is always informative, and tells you all about the products and how to use it. They have specific products and formulations for certain skin types, which is great.




Im not sure if you are aware of this, but i suffer from eczema due to allergies from dust mites, all types and the allergies are pretty severe cos i have a high reaction to dust mites. Dust mites are all around, so you can safely say that i cant effectively get rid of my allergy. Thankfully though, i only suffer on my hands and not anywhere else on my body. My hands, when allergies occur, become cracked and dry, and the skin starts peeling. It hurts like crazy when it cracks! Eczema prone people have to constantly moisturise their hands and guess what, i LOVE this product for moisturizing my hands!!



I use this before i go to bed every night and so far, my skin isn't so dry, but of course this isn't a miracle product and it hasn't helped my skin improve DRAMATICALLY, but it has helped significantly.



I think the use of it with gloves would be better, but im scared that the gloves will attract dust mites too hahaha so i haven't done that myself.


I guess if you do a lot of gardening or dish washing then you should protect your hands and moisturise it with some heavy duty hand cream when you can.



I dont often put hand cream during the day because im scared that i grease up everything that i touch.





Cost: SGD $30 <--i think? Might be more expensive.
