Liz Earle Hand Repair

As a Liz Earle fan I was looking forward to trying this new launch - but was very disappointed. The cream looks, smells and feels lovely. It has a nice light consistency and scent.

Personally I do not like the smell and prefer a product which is fairly odourless. The Cleanse and Polish does not have this strong smell of lavender. ...
