Cons: The tin is inconvenient, it smells SUPER strong and herbal, and it's greasy (but that doesn't matter if you use it at nighttime.) Pros: I use this before bed, and it's like a miracle...

I almost broke a nail trying to get the lid off the small tin. Then I didn't care for the fragrance on my hands which is faintly like Vicks VapoRub. The fragrance oils, eucalyptus oil and others,...

Smells great (although a bit medicinal). Container is cute. Salve itself is greasy and doesn't sink in, with no noticeable improvement to my hands over time.

This did nothing for me. I applied it a few nights before bed, since my hands get soo dry (I work in a lab and wash my hands about 20x a day!), but the hand salve never really sank in and got...

I tried this as a hand cream, mainly at night before bed. This stuff is greasy! It is basically a scented wax in a tin. It never fully absorbed into my hands, and so even in the morning, I...

I used this product when I worked at a museum and had my hands in water all day for an exhibit where I helped children pan for gold. There was a tin of it at the desk, so I didn't actually buy it,...

BB products are really a hit or miss, and this one is a miss. Waxy, oily, and STINKY hand stuff that made my skin feel weirdly oily and dry at the same time. No good. And the smell is like a rotten...

Love this product! Great for dry hands, elbows, nees in the winter. It's a bit greasy but gets absorbed quite well! I love the smell of it, but it's not for everyone! I mostly use this in the...

I use this every night, and it does a super job of moisturizing my hands (especially in winter). It keeps my hands soft even during the day, so I use less moisturizer during daytime hours (which...

I'm in the minority because I like the rosemary scent. That said, while this did a nice job of moisturising my hands in their normal state, it did nothing for the dry patches I get after a bad...

My hands were so dry before using this. I also didn't smell it before I bought it and when I opened it was concerned because it's a very strong rosemary smell. Anyway once I put it on it soaked in...

The smell is a touch much and it is quite greasy but for peeling hands or elbows this stuff is a godsend.

I use this as a spot-treatment for problems, such as dry knuckles. It is pretty greasy to be smearing all over your hands, but if you need seriously intense healing, this stuff is a good salve. ...

This hand salve was way too greasy to use anytime other than right before getting into bed. The smell was not very pleasant either. I like supporting Burt's Bees, but I would not buy this product...

Didn't do anything to heal my badly cracked hands except grease them up the whole winter. Total waste of my money. I hated the scent too.
