I have a beauty confession to make: I’m not typically a hand cream person. Sure, I can understand the benefits of keeping a travel-size tube at the ready (especially in colder months), but I’ve never felt particularly compelled to add one to my personal rotation—that is, until trialing the Hand Duo from Nécessaire.
One part traditional cream used during the day, one part retinol used at night, the set combines their forces to leave your hands and cuticles softer than ever. The Hand Cream uses a blend of five ceramides and peptides, marula oil and butter, and niacinamide to strengthen the skin barrier treatment, while minimizing dryness and treating loss of volume. The brand’s anti-aging retinol, on the other hand, contains 0.25 percent pure retinol, 5 percent alpha-hydroxy acid, 10 types of peptides, glycerin, and more, to treat and prevent crepiness, spots, and wrinkles overtime.
