The problem
Hands get dry, rough and tight — washing up, cold weather, hand gel and cleaning products all strip them. An ordinary hand cream feels good for ten minutes, then the tightness is back and the nails are still splitting.
How this helps
This is a concentrate, so it does more than sit on the surface. 5% urea and glycerin draw water into the skin, ceramides and avocado oil stop it escaping again, and D-panthenol and allantoin calm the roughness — while the same formula works on the nails and cuticles.
Why people choose it
- 5% urea for fast, deep hydration
- With ceramides, glycerin, avocado oil and D-panthenol
- Strengthens nails and softens cuticles
- Absorbs fast and leaves a protective barrier
- Cruelty free — 100ml tube
What to expect
Hands that feel soft and smooth instead of tight, protected through the day by an invisible barrier against cold, wind and detergents — and nails that are less likely to split.
Dry, rough or hard-working hands and weak, splitting nails. The rich formula also suits dry skin on knees and elbows. Cruelty free.
How to use
- 1Wash and dry your hands
- 2Squeeze out a small amount — it is a concentrate, so you need less than usual
- 3Massage into the backs of the hands, then the palms
- 4Work a little into each nail and cuticle
- 5Use daily, and again after washing up or being out in the cold

Questions and answers
Will it leave my hands greasy?
No. Eveline describes it as fast-absorbing — it leaves an invisible protective barrier rather than a greasy film, so you can use it and carry straight on with what you were doing.
What does the 5% urea do?
Urea pulls water into the skin, which is why it works quickly on hands that feel rough and tight. In this tube it sits alongside ceramides, glycerin, avocado oil, D-panthenol and allantoin.
Does it actually help nails, or just hands?
Both. Eveline states it strengthens nails and softens cuticles to help stop them tearing. Massage a little into each nail and cuticle once you have done your hands.
