Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream 100ml is the brand's bestselling hand cream — a fast-absorbing, non-greasy daily formula that softens dry, chapped or sore hands while strengthening nails and conditioning cuticles. Built around Japanese mulberry, sesame oil, shea butter and baobab seed oil, the cream cushions the skin against the climate, hard water and frequent washing, with a discreet floral scent and a generous 100ml size for the kitchen, the desk or the dressing table.
