[REVIEW] Mecca Cosmetica To Save Hands SPF 30 Hand Cream

Hey guys! I'm gonna be blogging something that isn't 100% related to beauty (same with the review for Lush Fair Trade Foot Lotion I just posted). It's a hand cream, this time.
I initially wanted to pick up their To Save Face SPF 30 Sunblock, but as I wasn't wearing spectacles at that time, I thought this was the sunblock but I got the Hand Cream instead (which was very frustrating for me because I ran out of sunscreen and I already have a hand cream at home). There was absolutely no way I could return this item or refund it back because well, the receipt clearly stated that it is NOT refundable, exchangeable or returnable. I was beyond devastated and it felt like my heart was about to pop out of my chest.

So I had to depend on my Dr.G BB Cream for several days that has SPF 30, so basically I got sun protection and also some coverage to cover my blemishes and pimples (thank goodness).

This hand cream claims that:
It will give you youthful looking hands, nourish and protect the hands, leaving a non-greasy feel.

I love the packaging, but I'll talk more about it in my review section.

  • Review:
I can say that this hand cream has topped my The Face Shop Daily Scented Macadamia Hand Cream. Why? You may ask. 

Because it has SPF 30 (which means it has sun protection which will not burn your hands), has a nice scent (I can't catch what the scent is, but it's definitely refreshing), very moisturising indeed and leaves a non-greasy feeling. It has a very creamy texture, which is great, but it's quite difficult to blend in so it'll take up some extra effort just to blend it.

This product is 100% very promising and does what it says. I'm so happy that I purchased this (even though I could have gotten the sunblock version). 


The only thing that bothers me is the application part of the packaging. As much as I love how it looks, the part where you have to squeeze the product out is very messy and inconvenient. I'd rather have the twist cap type of bottle.
Whenever I squeeze the product out, the hole gets super messy. It's just not giving me a good impression as a good product.
this is how creamy it is

  • How to apply it onto the hands?
-Like you normally do.

  • Where can you purchase this?
-Only in MECCA Maxima, Mecca Cosmetica and Kit Cosmetics in Australia. It's an Australian Cosmetic Brand so if you're interested, you'll have to come to Australia just to get your hands on this product (unless you call up their customer service for help in international shipping).

  • How much did it cost?
-$39.00AU.

Overall Comment:
I guess you can say this is the perfect hand cream for anyone. It has sun protection, it's moisturising, does not leave a greasy feeling and nourishes the hands. It is definitely very pricey for a hand cream to be honest. It's the same price as their sunblock To Save Face and has the same quantity as well, so I think it's better to purchase the sunblock version, but overall it's a good product but I will not re-purchase it again because it's way out of my budget. Remember, I purchased this thinking it was a sunblock, but it turned out to be a hand cream instead.

Rating: 4.3/5
