Skin Food Gold Apple Hand Balm

I love my hands to be soft but since I have dry skin it takes some effort to achieve that. I thought this would be more "balmy"; its actually just a hand cream. I guess if it were a balm it would be sticky though. It smells awesome and does make my hands soft for a little while though. I would not repurchase because A. it's in a pot, and B. it's not exceptional.
