VERDICT
Normally I hate Korean hand creams, so I didn't think I was going to love and enjoy this as much as I did. I usually only purchase Korean hand creams when the packaging is so cute I can't help myself. While I did get this in one of my Beauteque BB Bags, if I had known about this beforehand I can guarantee I would have bought this on my own because Chocopie is a Korean snack that I grew up on and it looks exactly like the real thing. It's so cute and nostalgic for me...I just absolutely ADORE the packaging.

Now the reason I hate Korean hand creams is because, from my experience, they tend to be thick heavy emollient greasy feeling creams. Some people, like my mother love or don't mind that, I on the other hand HATE that. That is why I also hate Body butters. Whenever someone used to gift me body butters from Bath and Body Works or somewhere else I would just pass them along to my mother.

Anywho, back to the topic at hand...this cream is also a very thick emollient cream, BUT somehow surprisingly it was very lightweight and not greasy/yucky feeling at all. It sank in really quickly and nicely and was very hydrating...luxuriously hydrating, but with a nice airy satin finish. So glad Beauteque included this adorable yet awesome and effective hand cream in their bag as that time of year has rolled around again when my hands get severely dried out and chapped and starts to crack.

I've been trying and using so many different hand creams...Vaseline (the lotion not the petroleum jelly), Eucerin, Curel, Aveeno, Indie Brands, etc. and nothing...NOTHING I was using was helping, but then I tried this and talk about immediate gratification! This from the moment it touched my hands just immediately sank in and softened them up and hydrated and healed the cracks and made my hands feel amazing. I LOVE how quick and effective this is without feeling yucky in the slightest.

My only "complaint" would be that it only contains 35 ml of product. I'm someone that is constantly and compulsively washing my hands all day long...it's kind of ridiculous just how many times I wash my hands in a day, but because of that I know I'm going to be slathering this on every single day multiple times a day for the next few months all through winter until it warms up again, so I'm going to have to stock up on a ton of these to last me. On the upside though, it's the perfect size to throw into your purse and have with you no matter where you go.

This definitely gets my stamp of approval and will be my go to hand cream this winter. I plan to keep one next to my bed, on my desk, in my purse, and in my car at all times. If you're someone that needs something heavy duty yet lightweight and not greasy for their hands this winter then definitely check this out. This would also make a great stocking stuffer as well.

BTW, like I mentioned above, I got this in a Beauteque BB Bag but I can't find it on their actual website. I checked some of my other go to shopping sites and they didn't seem to carry it either. Memebox did have it, but they are sold out. I finally found it on a site called Korea Depart (the link above)...btw apparently there is a Strawberry variation and a Cookies 'n Cream variation...so excited to try those. Anywho, I've never ordered anything through Korea Depart so I have no idea if it's a good site with good customer service or what their process is like, but it seemed to be the cheapest there. You can also find it on Amazon and Ebay but it's a lot more expensive on those sites.
