      Why we love it:<\/strong> A 2025 Best of Beauty Award winner, the Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt Hand Cream is easily one of the best hand creams we\u2019ve tried in the past year. While Maison Louis Marie is foremost known as a perfume label, this one prioritizes hydration with a moisturizing blend of avocado oil, shea butter, and green tea and chamomile extracts\u2014immediately quenching dry skin without the dreaded leftover greasiness. And, of course, the brand\u2019s ambery-woody notes (hi, sandalwood and cedarwood) are the cherry on top.<\/p>\n

      \u201cNo.04 Bois de Balincourt is one of my all-time favorite fragrances\u2014it’s floral, fresh, warm, and earthy\u2014and I’m so happy it comes in hand cream form. I love that it\u2019s ultra-hydrating for dry hands but doesn’t leave them feeling sticky. The 1.7 fl oz. tube is perfect for when I\u2019m on the go, and the aluminium packaging feels so much more chic than a plastic tube.\u201d \u2014Ingrid Fowler, senior art director<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Why we love it:<\/strong> Mienne\u2019s Fleurir Hand Cr\u00e8me has made the rounds at Allure<\/em> HQ for good reason. Hand cream is usually a practical step, but this one makes the whole routine feel a little more intentional. The brand calls it \u201caphrodisiac skin care,\u201d thanks to a blend of maca root and ylang-ylang for a warm, cozy whiff, plus ginger, rosehip, and passion flower oils to smooth and nourish. To keep moisture locked in for hours, there\u2019s a nourishing blend of shea and mango butters, ceramides, and sodium hyaluronate. The result is soft, hydrated hands with a subtle scent that makes reapplication something you actually look forward to.<\/p>\n

          Why we love it:<\/strong> Moroccanoil\u2019s hair care is beloved for its hydration, and its body line also lives up to that reputation. The Dahlia Rouge Hand Cream is intensely moisturizing yet fast-absorbing, packed with nourishing argan oil, plumping hyaluronic acid, smoothing squalane, and a rich blend of cocoa and shea butters that leave skin incredibly soft. Its scent evokes a stroll through a blooming garden, with notes of dahlia petals, delicate tuberose, and a warm base of sandalwood and musk.<\/p>\n

          \u201cNo one in New York City has time to stop and smell the roses (it’s not like the city is filled with them).

              Why we love it:<\/strong> Before Aesop\u2019s Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm became a staple on nightstands and in tote bags everywhere, it began as an experiment in a Melbourne hair salon, where the brand\u2019s founder started tinkering with essential oils to elevate his styling products. Before long, clients started asking for a hand-care product, sparking the invention of this balm. Packed with sweet almond, macadamia, and coconut oils, as well a shea and cocoa seed butters, this chic tube delivers long-lasting moisture without any slick residue. At the heart is a mix of mandarin rind, cedarwood, and lavender that evokes Aesop\u2019s unmistakable essence of clean, herbal, and grounding.<\/p>\n

It lives on my nightstand, and saves my hands from the lizard-like state they want to be in once November hits. The scent is fresh and light but not so strong that it announces itself to the room. I’ve used it before bed so often that it functions like a sleep spray: It signals to my brain that it’s time to wind down and hit the hay.\u201d \u2014Sarah Hoffmann, commerce producer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You also have the option to purchase a mini DedCool Xtra Milk spray with the cream for a full-circle fragrance moment.<\/p>\n

                \u201cMy daily beauty essentials include a spritz of Dedcool Xtra Milk, a fresh-ambery musk fragrance, and lots and lots of hand cream. Between my frequent, aggressive hand-washing and the winter air, I go through tubes and tubs of the latter. It moisturizes and soothes the dry patches on the backs of my hands, but doesn’t leave my fingers so slick that I can\u2019t type on my laptop without leaving fingerprints. It also has the lightest hint of Xtra Milk\u2014an essence of it, if you will\u2014that\u2019ll make you say \u2018ahh\u2019 every time you get a whiff.\u201d \u2014Jesa Marie Calaor, senior beauty editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                  Why we love it:<\/strong> If you dread a thick cream, hand serums\u2014like the 2024 Best of Beauty-winning Sidia The Hand Serum\u2014will be much more up your alley. Lighter than lotion but just as hydrating, this silky serum taps avocado butter and shea butter to soften hands soft along with aloe vera and cactus flower to calm irritation. Plus, it comes in three different scents that hit every fragrance profile from spa-like to woodsy.<\/p>\n

                  “Half of the hand creams on my shelf are there because I like the way they look, the other half are there because they actually hydrate and nourish.

                    Why we love it:<\/strong> Love clean scents? Byredo\u2019s Blanche Hand Cream will quickly become a bedside table\/desk\/purse essential. With notes of rose, peony, and violet layered over musks and sandalwood, it strikes a floral-woody harmony\u2014think fresh, just-out-of-the-shower skin rather than an overpowering bouquet. Blanche offers a subtle, refreshing lift, especially when paired with the matching perfume. On the skin-care side, the light, non-sticky formula hydrates all day with glycerin and butylene glycol, making it an ole faithful when our hands need some TLC.<\/p>\n

It comes in four gorgeous scents\u2014our favorite is You, the brand\u2019s signature skin-like blend of amber and musk that smells a little different on everyone\u2014all wrapped into a fast-absorbing formula that feels like silk. Inside, hydrating meadowfoam seed oil, an antioxidant-rich botanical blend, and fermented coconut fruit extract quickly soothe and soften dry, rough hands.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re already a Glossier You fan, you\u2019ll love this lightweight, fast-absorbing cream\u2014 but if you\u2019ve never tried the perfume, you\u2019ll still love it.

                        A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors\u2014in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon\u2014is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n

                        After all, can we really<\/em> say a skin-care product is the “best” for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it’s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n
