Today, I will be reviewing the Tony Moly Panda's Dream White Hand Cream (토니모리 팬더의 꿈화이트 핸드 크림). I got this as a gift from my mom around Christmas time and I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet! It's super cute and it smells really nice. My mom and I went shopping at the Pretty and Cute beauty store some time before Christmas and I saw this panda hand cream and loved it so much, so my mom decided to buy it for me as a gift! ♡
✰ Description of the Product ✰
This panda hand cream is part of Tony Moly's Panda's Dream line which includes the White Magic Cream, Brightening Eye Base, Brightening Cool Eye Stick, Eye Patch, Sleeping Pack, and Eye Make-up Remover Pads. I have not yet tried the other products, but I do own the Brightening Eye Base! This panda hand cream is $10.99 at the Pretty and Cute store, so the price is decent and didn't cost too much. The bottom of the cream container states that it is made in Korea and contains 30 g of cream inside.
When you open the top of the container, it comes with a plastic cover so that the product inside can stay fresh longer. I usually never throw the cover away so that I can put it back on the top and my cream will last longer.
Here is a photo of the cream once the cover is removed. The cream itself is a little thick and glides on the skin really smoothly. The color is just white and the scent of this cream is one of my favorites! It smells exactly like Jasmine tea, so it has a floral scent and the scent is also not too strong.
What I love about Korean products is that they always specify the manufacturing date so that buyers can know how long ago the product was made. This cream is still pretty fresh, since it was made around March in 2015. It's been almost a year since this panda hand cream was shipped to sell so this will probably be fresh for another 2 years or so! ✰
✰ What is This Product Meant For? ✰
This hand cream is meant to be a skin whitening cream making your skin moist and giving it a brighter effect if your hands are looking dry and dull. It is meant to nourish, moisturize and brighten your skin containing main ingredients such as Manuka honey, bamboo shoots, and bamboo sap. After using this product, your hands will appear slightly whiter and it will definitely give your hands a soft finish. This product will really help for dry hands.~ ⋆
✰ How to Use ✰
Wash hands first and then apply about a small dime-sized (or more as you wish) amount of the hand cream and rub into hands until cream is full absorbed. ⋆
✰ Ingredients ✰
Because the main ingredients of this cream is Manuka honey, bamboo shoots, and bamboo sap, the Manuka honey is meant to provide nutrition and hydration to the skin and the bamboo shoot extract and bamboo sap also provides hydration to the skin and makes dry skin moisturized. This panda hand cream is also free of paraben, benzopehnone-5, and any artificial pigment. According to cosdna.com, all the the ingredients in this cream is relatively safe, except for a solvent giving a possibility of high irritation (it could cause some people negative reactions to the cream) and about four other ingredients giving a possibility of moderate irritation. About 90% of the ingredients should be non-irritant for most people, but always be cautious when using new products and use a small amount when you first test it! Check out the rest of the ingredients here. ⋆
✰ My Review ✰
So far after using this hand cream a couple of times, I haven't gotten any irritants or allergic reactions so this is safe for me to continue to use! My favorite thing about this cream is that it has that floral, Jasmine tea scent that I really love. After applying the cream to my hands, at first it's a little sticky but after it fully absorbs in my skin, it makes my hands feel really soft and moisturized! This cream is definitely one of my favorites by far, since I really dislike hand creams that leave a sticky feeling even after it's been absorbed. The only thing about this product is that it didn't really whiten my skin as it said it's meant to do. I'm okay with it, as long as it moisturized my hands and kept them soft, which it did! Maybe if you use a lot of the product on your hands it might have some effect on whitening your skin, but I wouldn't want to use more of the product than I need as to not to waste it. Even if it does whiten my skin at some point, it will mostly be temporary and not long-term. Also, since the packaging is not a squeeze bottle type, it can get unsanitary to put your fingers in the lotion instead of using a spatula, although I personally don't mind! ⋆

✰ Would I Recommend and Repurchase? ✰
Yes! I would recommend this product to anyone who is always feeling like their hands are dry and looking dull. It's perfect for anyone who wants a bit of a skin brightener with a slight floral and sweet scent. The packaging is really cute and would make a great addition to your bag if you carry it out with you! If you are looking for a whitening hand cream that will give a long-term effect, this product might not be what you're looking for, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I would also repurchase this product because it's super cute and left my hands feeling really soft. I also love scents that smell like Jasmine tea since it's also one of my mom's favorite scents too~ ⋆
Thank you for reading my review! I hope you liked it and found it helpful. I'll see you in my next post really soon!~
