Thin lotion, but works well for me
I was a little hesitant about getting this set, since it is a little bit pricey and is a rose scented lotion (I can be sensitive to floral smells in particular). I figured I'd like the cuticle oil, and the lotion less so. But it actually turned out to be the other way around - I like the lotion better than the cuticle oil.<br />The lotion itself is very, very thin, almost the consistency of water, but it does work well for me. Before I used it, my knuckles were cracked to the point of bleeding. I applied a generous amount before bed, and that first night it healed my hands enough that they were no longer bleeding, just cracking a little bit. Even with my handwashing and having my hands frequently wet at work, this lotion brought them back to life. The second use resulted in no more cracks. The third brought my hands back to feeling normal. Since then, I've been using a more moderate amount only a couple of times a week (note the bottle DID come completely full - the pictures are after about three weeks of use, with the first week of that using a lot more than I normally would, due to how bad my hands were cracking). The lotion does have a definite floral scent, but it's actually a lot lighter than I expected it to be. My skin absorbs it pretty fast, within about 5-10 minutes even using a ton, and the scent fades pretty much completely even before this. So it doesn't bother me at all.<br />The cuticle oil, on the other hand, has a much stronger scent. It's more "planty" and less pleasant to me. Definitely not something I can use when I already have even a hint of a headache. Also, it lingers a lot more than the lotion's scent does. I do like the roller applicator as it makes it much easier to control my application onto my dominant hand, but I don't feel that this cuticle oil is anything better than any other one I've used. Combine that with the smell of it, and I definitely like the lotion in this set better. It is pricey, but to help my hands as much as it has, I think it's worth it.
Works well but has a very strong smell
I love this is vegan and cruelty free. The lotion works very well, it is silky smooth and keeps my parts moisturized. The cuticle oil in the roller works great as well. My only issue is the smell. Sometimes I can take it after it has aired out on my skin but mostly it is just too strong for me to tolerate. It is not an unpleasant smell, just overpowering. Someone who is sensitive to smells may not be able to use this.
A must have for the winter
The before and after pictures do all the talking here. These days I'm constantly washing my hands and never really take care of my nails or hands anymore because why bother? This -stunning- kit was nice and heavy and felt extremely high quality. The bottles are actual glass (which means you can recycle them!) The roller on the oil is really well made too, it never got stuck like some cheaper ones do. I used this kit for about a week and the results were really amazing. My only complaint is the scent of the lotion is EXTREME. I mean I didn't think you could combine rose, frankincense, geranium, AND ylang ylang...but they did. It's really strong and hyper floral so if you're sensitive to scents I might skip out and just get the oil. The lotion does however apply really nicely and sinks in quickly.
Luxurious body oil and fingernail moisturizer
I decided to pamper myself and enjoy the luxurious feel of this body oil and fingernail moisturizer. Oh-la-la, this lotion is so soft and light, with a very subtle and fresh, clean smell. It hydrates the skin so well, using mainly organic material - plant & flower oils, some coming from the Pacific islands.
Decent products but over-priced and over-packaged
The cuticle oil is so very hydrating. My cuticles (both on my feet and hands) are always dry and cracked and this oil really helped them not only look better but feel so much better! I appreciated the easy roll-on applicator too. The body lotion is a decent lotion. I wouldn't say it is earth-shattering or mind-blowing.. but it does smell really good and the scent isn't too overwhelming or powerful. My grandma is sensitive to powerful scents and she didn't turn her nose up at it so there's that. It is a decent thickness (not too runny or too thick), it absorbed relatively quickly and it makes my skin feel soft. The packaging is over the top, in a bad way. As a eco-minded person, the amount of packaging used was just ridiculous and unnecessary, IMO. My experience doesn't justify the price.. for the amounts you get and the average results are not equal to the price paid. Overall, this is a nice set and gift-worthy, but I probably won't purchase it again.
