Mario Badescu Rose Hand Cream with Vitamin E, 3 oz

Smells good and it is not greasy

For $5, I wasn’t expecting a super-luxurious hand cream. I mostly bought it for the rose scent. However, this cream is actually really nice to use. It strikes a good balance between moisturization/fast absorption. I would say it doesn’t absorb as quickly as some other creams (like Camille Beckman) but also doesn’t leave hands greasy or slippery. The fragrance is light— you won’t fog out a room while applying it— but it’s noticeable if you bring your hands near your face. It’s a classic, fresh rosewater scent that I find very relaxing and pretty!

I have ordered this lotion in the lavender scent, which is very light, and more soapy than floral. Which I didn’t mind, because the lotion is great. It’s absorbed into your skin after a few minutes. It doesn’t feel greasy, just moisturizing. That being said, the Rose scent has a noticeable Rose fragrance. It smells divine and helps alleviate my dry winter skin, and keeps my hands from cracking and chapping.

Not sticky - absorbs immediately and smells great - not overwhelming -

Smells lovely but it isn’t as rich as I was hoping. It’s almost watery as you rub it in. Will not be repurchasing.
