In the 1940s-60s, hand lotions only had one distinctive trademark scent. Jergen's stood out for me with an almond scent that I liked. I've enjoyed the dives into the past and I it is overwhelming to realize the enormous increase in today's consumer choices. Unfortunately, either my tastes or Jergen's manufacture changed over the years, even their 'Original scent' is not what I remember. Like most things, I find my memory works best in my mind, not in reality.
I tried Theraplush and while it was nice, I couldn’t justify spending that amount on a repurchase. Went back to my tried and true Weleda which always serves me well at a great price point
Loved this one!! Something about a metal tube is very charming to me for some reason. I willllll say that as someone with painfully dry hands all year round, regular face moisturizer and body lotion simply isn’t rich enough and a hand cream is necessary 🥵
