First, the smell is way too strong. Second, and most important, it's not hydrating enough and it leaves my hands with a funny feeling, which I don't like. I feel it's not enough, I still feel my hands need more. I'd even say they are more dehydrated after applying the cream. The texture of my hands feel "yin", that's the best way I can describe it. I tried reapplying it after a few minutes with no better results.
