The Face Shop Peach & Pomegranate Fruit Garden Hand Lotion

The Face Shop is one of the first Korean brands brought into the Philippines. In Korea, The Face Shop, Skinfood, Tony Moly, etc. sell for really low prices and are considered to be low-end lines. Here in Manila and other countries the prices are sometimes unreasonably jacked up compared to how much they sell in their home country. This is one reason why I am loathe to spend on these Korean lines (especially Skinfood) locally, since they're not good value for money. Nevertheless, Korean brands are always enticing and attractive because of their fun packaging and unique product lineups. The Face Shop's prices are generally fair so I didn't mind picking up their hand lotion to try.  

This Peach & Pomegranate Fruit Garden Hand Lotion also comes in Mango & Orange. I prefer the tangy sweet scent of Peach & Pomegranate compared to the somewhat cloying fragrance of the other variant. 

It comes in a 70ml tube with a pink screw-cap cover. The tube is smooth and the sticker features two fruits with colorful flower designs. 

The pale pink lotion has a light cream texture that sinks on the skin in a minute or two. There is a slightly sticky after-feel even though the product description says otherwise, but I do not mind this as I use it primarily before bedtime.

The back of my hand is visibly more hydrated after applying this product. It does its job to moisturize, but it is not a deeply nourishing hand cream. My hands are softer and smoother in the morning but would return to their natural state in the middle of a working day. Those who do not want to apply hand lotion every night are better off looking for a more intensive hand care product such as Sally Hansen Age Correct Retinol Hand Cream, which can treat the hands and leave it soft and smooth for around two days. Overall, I would say this is an average lotion that only supplements moisture retention on the hands.
