Properties of the cream "Gevol"
This cream should not be confused with nutritious creams, it has a different purpose.

Cream Reviews
Manicure and pedicure experts consider this cream to be a salvation. All products used in the beauty salon are aimed mainly at the client. And this cream was created specifically for the hands of the master, whose skin is constantly in contact with disinfectants, detergents, scrubs, solvents. Not all types of work can be carried out with gloves. Therefore, this cream glove has become indispensable.
Hand cream "Gevol" reviews gathered in two: it was loved by professionals and was not accepted by housewives. Apparently, the cream moisturizes well in poor conditions, but it is not intended to treat dry skin (which remains dry under good conditions). To do this, it is better to choose the cream "Gevol" for the feet, the instructions of which will indicate the possibility of such use. So that you do not have to apply the cream after washing your hands again and again, you should first cure the dry skin caused by other factors. Then this cream will become a reliable assistant.
Consumption is small, absorbed perfectly. Leaves a pleasant sensation of silk hands. Humidification is very light for daytime use. It feels like lanolin, it is easily distributed on the skin and for half a day gives a feeling of soft hands. It is not washed off with water, although it does not give the feeling of a film, as after silicone. The composition includes clotrimazole - an antifungal component. It is not absorbed through the skin, so it will not affect the body systemically.
The cost is high, but it costs that much money.
