Victoria Beckham has successfully transitioned from pop star and fashion designer to a formidable name in the beauty industry, with her latest skincare offering garnering significant attention. The Victoria Beckham Beauty Hand Cream Collection has shoppers declaring they'll never use another product again, despite its premium price point.
What's In The Luxe Collection?
The four-piece set is designed as a hydration powerhouse, specifically formulated to revitalise dry and ageing skin. Priced at £137 directly from VB Beauty and £159 at Space NK, the collection promises a serum-like texture that melts into the skin without any greasy residue, leaving hands feeling soft and supple.
The creams are infused with a cocktail of effective ingredients, including niacinamide to boost collagen production, rich shea butter, and moisture-retaining fruit extracts. A major selling point is the inclusion of all four of Beckham's signature fragrances: 21:50 Rêverie, Suite 302, San Ysidro Drive, and Portofino ’97. The set also comes with a complimentary tube key to ensure every last drop is used.
Shoppers Are Divided Over Value
The product has achieved an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, with many customers expressing sheer delight. One enthusiastic review stated, "Such an amazing collection - I'll never use another hand cream again!" Another praised the "perfect" texture and the variety of scents, while a third highlighted its non-sticky formula, making it ideal for travel.
However, not all feedback is glowing. Some shoppers have questioned the value for money, citing the small tube size. One critical customer noted, "These are so tiny... and therefore outrageously expensive for what they are. Performance-wise, they are not very good, only average." This highlights the primary criticism: the luxury price tag for a product some deem merely average in performance.
Luxury Gift or Everyday Essential?
While the cost may deter some from making it a daily staple, the luxurious presentation and high-end feel make it a strong contender for a special occasion gift. For those seeking more budget-friendly alternatives, the market offers several options.
The L'Occitane Shea Butter Discovery Collection is available for £23 at LookFantastic and includes a wider range of products from face cream to shower oil. Meanwhile, the Jo Malone Hand Cream Trio costs £60 and comes in a travel pouch with three of the brand's iconic scents.
Victoria Beckham's foray into hand care demonstrates her brand's continued expansion into coveted lifestyle products. Whether viewed as an indulgent treat or an overpriced novelty, the collection is certainly making waves and convincing a cohort of dedicated fans to swear off other brands for good.
