Robanda Anti-Aging Hand Cream, SPF 20 by Robanda, Body Lotion Review

2

Simply Moisturized and Nothing Else

My hands--oh, my hands. They are still pretty, but along with a few brown spots, small creases are beginning to appear (they give a crepe-paper appearance). I refuse to have that when my complexion is still in pretty great shape. Moreover, your hands tell your age much more quickly than your face. How many times have you been fascinated by a lovely woman until she reached up and you noted that...read more her hands betrayed her? So the search continues for a cream to plump and moisturize, break up and destroy the brown discolorations (which are not dark or plentiful at all). Like the beloved, deceased Nora Ephron, I was totally disheartened when even StriVectin®--yes, StriVectin®--didn't work for me (she bemoaned its lack of effects on her neck; their hand "miracle" was not a "miracle" at all for me, nor was the neck product). I was paging through a catalog several months ago and saw declarations about "The Best Hand Treament in the USA," Robanda® "Anti-Aging Hand Cream." I was anxious to try it. It is not inexpensive. I found it for about $20.95 online. It boasts that this is "Proven effective to fade dark spots as well as providing maximum sun protection. Vitamin A and other antioxidants simultaneously moisturize hands and strengthen nails." I ordered it via FedEx®! It does contain a sunscreen of SPF 20. It uses Gatuline Whitening to disperse discoloration (this is a complex derived by the fermentation of Kojic, Lactic, and Licorice Extracts). It contains active Retinol Palmitate along with Vitamin E Acetate and Shea Butter. I had the highest hopes for this product. It has a non-descript scent. Though it is rich, it is non-greasy and absorbs easily. Yes, my hands were moisturized and softened, as they are with nearly any product on the market. Sadly, there was NO lightening effective whatsoever, no help with the crepe-paper appearance. I used an entire tube, reapplying when my hands were exposed to the elements and water. When I saw no difference, I ordered another. After more than two months of treatment with "The Best Hand Cream in the USA," I am disappointed (Robanda makes excellent products in general). I know that these spots can be eliminated (Pond's "Clarant B3 Moisturizing Cream" does a nice job, but I haven't used it religiously). And they can be plumped and lightened (I use Ole Henriksen's facial creams on my hands now). But Robanda? Too much hype, too few results.
