TonyMoly Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream Review

Welcome to my first review! It will be on the TonyMoly Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream! I purchased this 30g hand cream from Ebay for $7.00. When it arrived, it did not come in a box, but was instead protected by a bundle of bubble wrap.

  The hand cream itself come in the CUTEST plastic tangerine jar. The jar is big enough to just cover the palm of my hand. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for travel, since the jar might be a little too big to fit comfortably in a purse with other items (Also, I wouldn't want to risk scratching the packaging in any way since it is so adorable! xD).

TonyMoly's product description states that- TonyMoly Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream contains extracts of such fruits rich in vitamin C as orange, tangerine, lemon and pomelo to soften the rough skin of hands. It allows better nail regeneration. Besides, the product contains arbutin, a whitening ingredient, leaving the skin of hands fair and soft. 

To test this product out, I first washed and dried my hands thoroughly. When I opened the jar, I was presented with a very pleasantly scented and colored cream. The color reminded me of a Creamsicle, and the scent smelled exactly like a juicy, sweet citrus fruit. The consistency of the cream is very light, and left no heavy or oily feeling after being rubbed in completely.

My hands felt instantly nourished, which is something that I don't get to feel enough in these Winter months :( I could also feel a difference in how soft my hands were! This is a big plus for me since I like having my hands as soft as possible. As for the whitening, my hand DID seem to whiten a bit, but not enough to show up on camera. Instead of whiting, I would probably say that the cream makes the hands more luminous. This feature, however, only lasts for a while (Washing your hands or touching things will make the "whitening" fade away bit by bit).

Overall, I would say that I really like this cream! It is great for the price, and makes an adorable decoration while it is not being used :3 I will most likely buy this again in the future!
