The "Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream" BzzCampaign
Today, I have something new to tell you about! :) Another great BzzCampaign that I was invited to is the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream BzzCampaign. I am a BzzAgent, which means that if I get invited to and join a BzzCampaign, I will receive a full-size product to try out and review, and let other people know all about this product by telling them my honest opinion.
First of all, I would like to tell you a little bit about the history of the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream by Neutrogena. It was invented by fishermen in Norway, who suffered from the combined bad effects of cold weather, wind, and water on their skin. They came up with the idea to make this glycerin-rich cream, which proved to relieve years' worth of dry, chapped, cracked skin, and it has now been around for about forty years already. Neutrogena adopted these fishermen's hand cream formula, and it has been very successful for many years now. Not only has the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream outperformed other similar products for many years now, but it has also earned the 2012 Good Housekeeping Seal for its' outstanding performance.
The invitation for this BzzCampaign couldn't have come at a better time. It is winter and cold outside, and it is always my hands that suffer the most during winter. Very often I find my hands irritated, red and dry, with very painful chapped skin. This is why I was excited about this BzzCampaign, and curious to try the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, to see how it works and if it would provide the results it promises, and some much needed relief.
The Norwegian Formula Hand Cream claims to heal and repair seven signs of damage, such as rough and chapping skin, dryness, scaliness, dry cuticles and splitting nails, making your hands and nails look more beautiful and healthy. And who does not like the benefit of a longer lasting manicure?
The Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is the first hand cream that is based on a glycerin-rich formula, that is concentrated and long-lasting. All you need is a little dab of this hand cream, which is enough for both of your hands. It really is true with this hand cream, that "a little bit goes a long way", and so the tube of 2oz. will last you for about 200 uses. You can choose from original scented and fragrance-free, and the suggested retail price per 2 ounce tube of the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is about $4.99.
After the first use, my hands almost instantly felt smoother, softer, and the roughness and dryness has disappeared. My cuticles no longer felt tight and painful, because of chapped skin around the nails. It is like this hand cream glycerin-rich consistency mends the cracks in skin right away, relieving discomfort, and starting the healing process. The hand cream itself is a clear/white-ish color, and feels very smooth. With continued use, about twice a day, the condition of my dry skin and cuticles improved in no time. I really enjoyed the softness of my hands!
With the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, the irritation and pain of your dry and chapped skin on your hands and fingers soon will be only a faint memory. Its' versatility is outstanding, not only helps this cream heal your hands, but is also great for dry, rough skin on your heels, elbows, knees, and can even be used as a lip balm, protecting your lips from the weathers. Considering the great price/value and all the benefits, this hand cream sure is a keeper, no matter if you have one at home, at work, or on the go in your purse. Just $5 gets you a 2oz. tube which will last you for 200 uses, so for a very long time. ;)
Outweighed by the great benefits of this hand cream, there are also a few things that I did not like about the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. For one, I did not like the scent of the original variety, I preferred the fragrance-free variety.
Another experience I had one time was, that after a long day of cleaning and the following whole day spent outdoors in cold weather, my hands were extremely dry from the usage of cleaner soaps. Combined with the cold weather afterwards, I experienced extremely tense, red, and dry skin around the knuckles area of both my hands, to the point that my skin was cracking and bleeding a little bit. This seemed like the perfect time to put this hand cream to the test and see if it would be able to heal my hands and provide some relief. I put on and rubbed in the original scented hand cream, but I had to wash it off immediately, because the stinging sensation it created hurt like crazy. This has not happened with the fragrance-free variety, so my skin may be just too sensitive for the fragrance ingredients, while the skin is irritated. I don't really know. One last thing that I did not like about this hand cream is, that it felt too "creamy", almost "wax-like" inside the palms of my hands after applying it all over my hands. I'm the type of person that can't stand the feel of lotion or cream remaining in the palms, so I always wiped my palms after applying the cream to the back of my hands and cuticles/nails.
Overall, my opinion about the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is very positive, and it works just as described! It makes your hands feel wonderfully smooth, your cuticles nice and soft, and it prevents cracked skin and dryness, keeping your nails from splitting. I would definitely recommend this hand cream to anyone suffering from dry, painful, flaky skin, and will also be purchasing it again in the future!First of all, I would like to tell you a little bit about the history of the Norwegian Formula Hand Cream by Neutrogena.
