"A lifesaver for my hands—and my nails!" I work in healthcare and wash my hands constantly. My cuticles were splitting, and my hands looked 20 years older than I am. This balm is the only thing that truly heals—not just masks the problem. It sinks in beautifully, smells amazing (subtle, fresh—not perfumey), and my nails have actually started growing stronger. I keep one in every bag now.

"Feels like a spa treatment in a jar." I’ve tried so many “natural” hand creams, but they all left a film or faded in minutes. This one is totally different. You can feel the quality—from the texture to the way your skin actually stays soft for hours. I even use it on my elbows and heels. It’s become a nightly ritual for me—like pressing reset on my skin.

    Your questions, answered.

    How is this different from a regular hand cream?

    This isn’t just hydration—it’s high-performance recovery. Powered by Onsen Hot Springs Minerals and organic botanicals like Tsubaki oil, Carnauba wax, and Squalane, it targets deep skin and nail damage. It goes beyond surface moisture to repair cracked cuticles, support nail growth, and soothe even the roughest hands—without greasiness.

    Can it help with nail damage or gel/acrylic recovery?

    Yes. The Rescue Cream is ideal post-manicure. Its mineral-rich formula reconditions the nail bed, nourishes cuticles, and supports stronger, faster regrowth—especially after polish, gel, or acrylic damage.

    Where can I use it besides my hands and nails?

    Everywhere that needs rescue. This multi-purpose balm works wonders on cracked heels, rough elbows, knees, and even dry patches on your face or body. Pocket-sized, TSA-safe, and designed to go with you anywhere.

    Is it greasy or sticky?

    Never. It melts into skin with a velvet-rich finish, thanks to plant-derived Squalane and Jojoba that mimic your skin’s natural barrier. You’ll feel deep nourishment without the residue—perfect for all-day use.

    Lovely packaging, okay lotion

    I give these 5 stars for aesthetics, 3 for the lotion.The containers are pretty and have lovely embossed lettering. I like having the two to carry one in my purse and leave the other at my computer to use throughout the day.The lotion feels okay and has no overpowering scent, but isn't any more effective than my inexpensive lotions for softening/moisturizing the hands. It's not ineffective, just nothing special.

    Rich moisturizing cream

    A rich but not super thick cream, lashes and absorbs quickly into skin without and oiliness. Works great on dry hands but also feel luxurious just to use in specific dry areas like cuticles and elbows in winter. A little goes a long way. Has a light floral accent which I don't mind at all. The tin is a bit used to open; the first time I close it, I pressed down to hard, making it much more difficult to pry open the next use. A twist top would be much easier to manage. I use a small spatula to scoop so that I'm not touching the product in the tin directly with my hands.

    Nourishing and moisturising

    Review for: Onsen Hand & Cuticle Rescue CreamThis pack includes 2 x 26ml tins with a screw on lid. It's a lovely rich cream with a natural, delicate fragrande and contains Tsubaki (Camellia) Oil, Carnauba Wax, Shea Butter, Squalane, Jojoba, Rosalina, Rosemary, Tea Tree and Geranium. It intensely nourishes and moisturizes dry skin leaving it feeling more hydrated.The tins are small but a little goes a long way. It's not greasy and absorbs well. I have used this on my hands, elbows and feet. At the currently price of £15.95 it does seem a lot for two small tins but I think they'll last a while and it's down to the quality of the ingredients so I believe it's reasonable.

    Perfect cream for cracked hands and cuticles !

    Onsen Secret are a high quality brand that originates from the USA. I'd not heard of them before, but after a quick search on the interweb, I found their site and can see they are an established and esteemed brand.The product comes in a nice box and screw tin. No corners are cut and it immediately feels like it's a premium product.I suffer from dry and cracked cuticles on my hands, and after a couple of applications, my skin felt invigorated, soft and refreshed.The product lists a whole number of natural ingredients and smells pleasant but not overwhelmingly strong. I'm a guy and I don't want too strong a scent, just a product that can help soothe my cracked skin. This does what I want and I'm a happy customer.Five stars from me and recommended!

    Ganz gute Pflege für zwischendurch

    Ich habe mir diese Handcreme von Onsen gekauft, weil meine Hände und Nägel in letzter Zeit sehr trocken waren. Die kleine Dose ist super praktisch, weil sie wirklich überall reinpasst – in die Handtasche, in die Jackentasche oder auch in die Schreibtischschublade. Der Geruch ist ganz angenehm, so leicht zitrisch, was mir gut gefällt.
    Die Konsistenz ist eher fest, fast wie ein Balm, aber sie zieht trotzdem ganz gut ein, ohne einen ekligen Fettfilm zu hinterlassen. Man hat aber schon das Gefühl, dass die Hände und die Nagelhaut gut gepflegt werden. Ob es jetzt die Nägel wirklich stärkt – das kann ich nach der kurzen Zeit nicht beurteilen. Aber sie sehen auf jeden Fall gesünder aus.
    Einziger Wermutstropfen: Der Preis ist schon etwas hoch für die kleine Menge. Aber dafür bekommt man ein wirklich hochwertiges Produkt, das seinen Job macht und auch noch vegan ist. Ich bin zufrieden.

    Gute und pflegende Handcreme

    Im Rahmen des Amazon Vine Programms darf ich als Produkttester diese Hand & Cuticle Rescue Cream von Marke Onsen testen.Meine Rezensionen sind unabhängig und spiegeln meine eigene Meinung über das Produkt wieder.Ich habe bereits einige Produkte von der Marke Onsen und bin bisher sehr zufrieden. Die Handcreme ist in einer Cremedose mit 26 ml Inhalt und sollte eigentlich in zweifacher Ausführung geliefert worden., jedoch ist nur eine geliefert worden.Deshalb habe ich einen Stern abgezogen.Die Creme zieht gut ein und pflegt meine Haut. Meine Haut erhält Feuchtigkeit und wird geschmeidig. Die Handcreme ist besonders gut für beanspruchte Haut. Die Handcreme beinhaltet Tsubaki (Camellia) Oil, Carnauba Wax, Shea Butter, Squalane & Jojoba, Rosalina, Rosemary, Tea Tree und Geranium.Ich kann die Handcreme weiterempfehlen.

    Effective and Stylish Cream Great for Dry Feet Too

    I’ve been using this cream on my feet as they tend to get very dry, and I’ve been really impressed. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft without any greasy residue. The texture is smooth, and the scent is light and pleasant. Although it’s marketed for hands and cuticles, it works beautifully on dry feet as well. The container itself looks stylish and gives a premium feel—great first impression overall. A solid choice for anyone looking for deep moisture in a clean, elegant package.
