I recently got some Oriflame products, and I’ll be sharing my thoughts on them with you over time. This is not a paid collaboration; as always, I share my honest opinions about products I use on my blog.
Today, I’m reviewing the Oriflame Milk and Honey Gold Nourishing Hand and Body Cream (250 ml).
I like scented creams, largely because of my mom—she loves them too. However, she has oily skin, and what I’ve noticed about heavily scented creams is that they often focus more on the fragrance and less on actually nourishing the skin.
With this product, the scent is lovely—pleasant and soft. The texture of the cream is smooth and feels good when applied. But the scent doesn’t last long on the skin. Also, while the cream is quickly absorbed, it tends to leave my skin feeling dry. It doesn’t moisturize deeply, and the texture is quite light. After applying it, I often find myself needing to use another cream to actually keep my skin from feeling dry.
Here’s what the website says about the product:
This rich and indulgent, delicately scented hand and body cream is formulated with luscious, organically sourced extracts of Milk and Honey. It intensively hydrates and nourishes for beautifully soft, smooth, glowing skin.
– Intensive 48h hydration
– Instantly boosts skin moisture by 59%
– Clinically, consumer, and dermatologically tested
The site also mentions that it contains beeswax, a natural wax emollient produced by bees and valued for its hydrating and protective qualities. It’s often used in skincare to relieve chapped skin and add a soothing barrier.
But based on my experience, the hydration doesn’t last more than 30 minutes. This is my personal opinion from using this product. It leaves my skin feeling dry and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t recommend it for people with dry skin. While the scent is beautiful, it fades quickly and doesn’t last.
This cream costs £12 and I will not buy it again.

Thank you for your honest review. I'm familiar with this brand and even have a few of their products (I really liked the lip liner). It's a shame the cream didn't quite work for me. I love beautifully scented cosmetics, but performance is most important to me.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. It's always a bit of a bummer when a product from a brand you like doesn't quite hit the mark, especially with something as important as a cream. Sounds like we're on the same page: a lovely scent is a bonus, but performance is king.
DeleteHidratação é importante,por isso deve-se escolher produtos cuidadosamente.

You're absolutely right! Choosing the right products for hydration is super important.
DeleteMelody,só dá erro quando vou enviar o comentário.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, so sorry about this. I will look into my comment system.
DeleteKiedyś często zamawiałam w Oriflame. Bardzo lubię ich produkty. Teraz koleżanka mi zamawia różne rzeczy a ja jej wysyłam pieniądze. Krem jest wspaniały i fajnie pachnie. Dziękuję za rzetelną opinie na temat produktu. Ja najczęściej brałam żele pod prysznic i perfumy. Pozdrawiam serdecznie Melody.
ReplyDeleteThat's great you have a friend who helps you out with Oriflame orders. It's interesting how different products work for different people – glad the cream and their shower gels and perfumes are a hit with you. You're welcome for the review.
DeleteThank you for your honest review. I would have been tempted by the packaging, so good to know it doesn't perform well. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I totally get it—packaging can be super tempting. Glad my honest take helped you avoid a potential letdown.
DeleteCreo haber visto este producto en algún lugar, con letreros en español. Por lo que nos dices una cosa en lo que dicen sobre sus beneficios y otra cosa lo que hace, algo que puede catalogar como publicidad engañosa.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
You've hit on a really important point. It's definitely frustrating when a product's marketing promises one thing, and the actual experience delivers something else entirely. If the claims don't match the performance, especially regarding benefits, it can certainly feel like false advertising. Thanks for sharing your observation.
DeleteI'm glad the scent is enjoyable, but it is a shame that it doesn't last long on the skin. It is also too bad that your skin feels dry after use. What a letdown! I appreciate your honest review of this product.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! It's definitely a bummer when a product has a great scent but falls short on the important stuff like lasting hydration. Thanks for reading the honest take.
DeleteHi Melody :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good weekend? Mine is ok so far.
You wrote about the Oriflame company. I have a few things of this form, but mostly perfumes.
Melody, I wish you a nice Sunday!
They have really good perfumes.
DeleteI often use Oriflame products.
ReplyDeleteThey have some good products but this one did not do it for me.
DeleteLIke I mentioned they have some excellent products that I have used in the past.
DeleteThank you for sharing your review.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteI haven't used Oriflame products for so long. I tried products from Milk and honey, but I didn't like them. Also didn't like the scent of those products.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your experience! It's interesting to hear your thoughts on Oriflame's Milk & Honey products and their scent. Everyone's preferences are so different when it comes to cosmetics!
DeleteLove this one, too! Visit my blog, kisses!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
