Some time ago, my friend Sybille gave me a bag filled with beauty products and samples that she didn’t want. They definitely found a home with me. The big prize was DiorSkin Nude BB Creme, but there were plenty of other goodies in the bag as well.
One that I recently discovered was a deluxe sample of h2o Plus Targeted Care Hand and Nail Cream.
First I apply my Nail Butter to my nails (reviewed here; I’m going for the real treatment for my nails). Then I put a small squeeze of h2o Hand Cream on my hands. This hand cream is so revitalizing and plumping. It makes my dry-looking hands look so much more hydrated and plumper which is amazing because it is so lightweight. It has a fresh scent (though I’d probably prefer unscented, but hey, it was a gift!). And it is truly non-greasy. Unfortunately, I don’t have too much of this 30 ml/1 fl.oz. deluxe sample left, boo hoo.
The website says it contains:
- Silk proteins and vitamin E to nourish nails and cuticles and leave them soft and strong
- Moisture-rich marine botanicals, including Wakame, Sea Lettuce, and Sea Fennel to provide deep hydration for visibly smooth skin.
This was a great find! It is sold in a 2 oz. size for $5 and a larger 6 oz. tube for $15. I know I’ll be buying some more of this! Have you tried it?

I love this hand cream even more than the La Mer I tried last year! Definitely worth trying the sample size!
I love a good hand cream! My hands are always dry, no matter the time of year.

I’ve tried a million hand creams this year, but so far this one is the best I’ve tried, even better than La Mer!
Ohhhh, love hand creams! I love stacking my nail/cuticle products. I make sure to cover all areas, haha.

Why not, right?
H20 has great body care. I got to do a couple in store events for the brand and was very impressed with their stuff.
NORAH recently posted…LOTD Cherry Blooms Instant Fiber Brow + Face Atelier Ultra Skin Foundation
That sounds great, Norah! It had been a long time since I used H2O so now I definitely want to try more of their products. So impressed!
Wow – I need a friend like Sybille!!! lol! I’m totally sold on this lotion. I gotta check it out. I think Ulta sells this line (at least they did when I worked there several years ago!) so I’m going to go check it out!

It really is wonderful, Judy. I like it even better than L’Occitane and the La Mer Hand Treatment I used last year!
I love h20+ it is such a great brand!
I hadn’t used anything from H2O for ages, and I was so blown away by this, I’ve gotta try some more!
What a great score! Hand-me-down skincare and makeup is so much fun! This sounds like a lovely hand cream!

I like this hand cream even more than L’Occitane and La Mer, Helen! And yes, I scored with this bag of cast-offs!!
WOW, that’s quite a ringing endorsement! I will have to try it!
Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog recently posted…Humane Project: Where Fashion and Animal Rights Meet
It works well for me, Helen. I hope if you do try a sample size someday, you have equally stellar results 🙂
Allison if you ever find a bag of your products that you’re dying to pass along to someone…I’m your gal. (;
Not usually me, lol. Sybille’s the one you should hit up 😉
I could have so used this on my trip to NJ. The hard water mixed with the 55ish temps two weeks ago wrecked havoc on my poor hands. My skin was dry, and actually cracking (something I suffered from every winter when I lived in Jersey). As soon as touched down in FL my skin felt relief. I need humidity to have nice skin! lol

I hear ya! Hope your poor nails are better soon.
I haven’t tried anything from that brand, BUT I have definitely seen it before. Now that i know to try it-I’ll pick some up! I’m really bad about keeping a good hand cream on me at all times. So I need to get better about that!

This hand cream is even better than my beloved L’Occitane and La Mer Hand Treatment!
What a great way to find something you love!! Such a nice friend. 🙂 This is a great cream. I got it in my Beauty Box 5, and I love it too! 🙂
I was happy to be the beneficiary of my friend’s generosity! Glad you know about this great hand cream already!
I haven’t used H20 products in a long time, but after seeing this review I really want to try out the hand cream. Even in the summer my hands are so dry.

I hadn’t used anything from h2o+ in years so this was a good surprise!
I need to research the h20 brand, I don’t know enough about it!
Oops, I just looked up this brand and according to the Peta website, they do test on animals. Sorry 🙁
I am always on the look out for a new hand cream, I haven’t found my HG yet! I’ll give this one a shot. 🙂
Jessica recently posted…Sephora Formula X Desire + Boom swatches + review
It is quite amazing, Jessica 🙂
This sounds pretty awesome. I am always on the look out for a new hand cream, so I might just need this ASAP!
It works for me, Jamie!
It’s nice to find a product that gives great results. I just finished my Josie Maran hand cream, which is good, but, I think I’ll try this one next.
Glad to know you liked the Josie Maran hand cream, Valerie. I will see if Sephora has a sample and I’ll try out that one. I was surprised that I had such great results from h2o+. It works well for me!
I love when I can find a travel size to try things out. I’m impressed that you like it better than L’O and LaMer. Must be amazing.
I agree, Marcia. It’s great when you can try a travel size before committing the big bucks!
I have a sample of this, too, and really like it. My fave H20 + product is their spa shower gel. MMMMM. Lovely way to wake up in the shower! Their sea salt line is wonderful, too!

I’ll have to try that shower gel. Sounds great!
I go through hand cream like crazy! I’ll have to check this out

I’ll bet you do, Lisa. Your hands always look beautiful!
Thanks for introducing me to another great brand. I haven’t tried this hand cream but I do love these types of products, especially when they’re so moisturising! xxx
I don’t know if H2O is available in the UK. It should be!
Love that brand from Kohl’s…gave it to my Mom and she loves it everyday after doing hard jobs!! I love how it hydrates dry skin!!
Ursula aka Blueridge Beauty
Aha, H2O is at Kohl’s! Good to know because I’m going to need to replace my tube soon. I’m glad you gave some to your mom and that you both love it too 🙂
I’m always such a huge fan of everything H20+. Their products are amazing!
I’ve gotta try some more H2O products, but I am almost out of the hand cream so I’ll probably get more of that first.
