5* rating: ‘This is an excellent hand cream that absorbs instantly and my hands were visibly softer after just a few days use. Highly recommend this product in these current times where we’re all using hand sanitiser so much’ – Shirleyb007
Cicalfate Restorative Hand Cream is all about results, soothing hands without being sticky or greasy to leave them incredibly soft and restored in a formula that is widely adored for good reason! Working both as a solution and a preventive, the blend of copper and zinc inhibits bacteria growth so as you take a moment of relaxation to immediately relieve sore, overworked hands, whilst the cream also adds a protective layer against bacteria.

6. Eucerin Anti-Pigment Night Cream
5* rating: ‘I bought this cream and my skin has improved tenfold as a result. It is brighter, clear and I have more of a glow. I very rarely get spots now too.’- DSH93
Products that target dark spots can be intimidating, with a host of unfamiliar ingredients and lightening properties, which is why we love the high praise the Anti-Pigment Night Cream has received, the stories of rapid skin improvement reflecting the powerful formula.
The secret to success? The anti-pigment cream reduces melanin production that triggers hyperpigmentation, stopping dark spots in their tracks to make way for healthy glowing skin.
If that wasn’t all, existing dark spots are both reduced and prevented from returning, delivering impressive skin benefits in a non-greasy texture that’s lightweight and comfortable.
