Jurlique is actually an Australian brand, so this is a little way for me to get a fix of home here in Japan. This is one of their iconic products, and it works exceptionally well -- it's not as budget-friendly as a lot of other hand creams out there, but the scent is absolutely heavenly and it works extremely well. It has quite a natural ingredients lineup compared to a lot of other hand creams, too, with a focus on botanicals like calendula flower extract and daisy flower extract. I also think this works as a great gifting product for any beauty/skincare lovers in your life, because it really is fabulous quality.

Obviously the key downside with this product is that it's not cheap, nor is it a particularly large tube size at only 40ml. If you are just looking for a hand cream product there are hundreds (thousands, even!) of different options out there that come in way cheaper than this. Also, I know rose scented things can be a bit polarizing -- I love the scent, but I've heard some people describe rose scented things as a "grandma smell." If you don't like rose scented things then obviously this won't be a good purchase for you! Other than that though, this is one of my favorite purchases to treat myself with, and I would recommend it to people who want a hardworking hand cream at this time of year!
