What's The Difference Between Hand Cream, Foot Cream, & Body Lotion?

[Guest missxsmiles]

Except for the fact that hand cream is meant to be applied on the hands, foot cream is meant to be applied on the foot and so on, what's the difference? The only difference I know of is that the thickness varies (for example, foot cream is thicker than body lotion) but that doesn't affect how the cream or lotion works because it's just more or less water added to the mixture. So are there extra ingredients in the foot, hand, or body lotions that's meant for it to be applied only in that specific area? Or is this simply a marketing technique to make consumers buy more of their line of products?

personally i do think it's a marketing scheme

for the most part, because i have tried out some other

foot cream stuff for my hands, and it does a pretty good job

for it~

[Guest heartofarose]

maybe since feet tend to be somewhat harder to moisturize, it's thicker ?

i think the only difference is the thickness o__o

go read the lotion labels for ingrediants ? xD

[Guest CaramelSweetie]

tl;dr

hand cream-hands

foot cream-foot

body lotion-body

there ya'go you wouldn't want to apply foot cream on your hands now, right?

Why do you bother replying to a topic you didn't even read?

[Guest .:-kiddo-:.]

hmm .. i dont find theese a difference

i sometimes use hand cream on face .. its pretty good :]

but like what mz.tina said i think its a marketing scheme

[Guest cookarikappou]

it differs in content i must say...

every single product has a purpose and has a special content for a certain or targeted problem or target market...

just like our doctors... there is a pediatrician, ob-gyne, surgeon, etc... CHEERS

[Guest aeroshaastranger :)]

there is a diff.

hand foot and body require diff level of moisture (:

our hand and food needs more moisture because we use our hands v often and it can get dry esp in aircon places.

so yeah (:

haha

[Guest _GLITCH_]

MARKETING scheme . . . ^^ yep defo.

I don't find a difference.

well maybe how it moisturises the area but THEY ARE ALL FOR MOISTURIZING!!!!

[Guest sus]

hmm i think theres a difference

foot creams a lot thicker.... cos the foot tends to be pretty dry/crack (thick skinned)

body cream i think thats just general... can use ne where on the bodi....

face cream tends to be not as thick... becasue sometimes the cream can be too rich for the skin... and casues these white bumps to come up...

similar thing to eye cream as well....

[Guest .:-kiddo-:.]

i dont have foot creams but i find some body cream quite think

is that just me tho?

[Guest fashion_love']

i don't think its a Scheme..

every part of your body is different..like certain parts of your body (skin's feeling/skin's thickness etc)..

like ur face gets pores, does that mean ur feet gets pores too? (i wonder)

it's just like asking, why don't you use hand soap, for your body..

[Guest LaydeeMel]

Face Lotion- isn't as thick and is a smaller dosage of moisture(?) ( idon't know how to explain)

Body Lotion- General body lotion is a 'medium dosage'

Feet and Hands - 'Higher Dosage'

The higher the 'dosage' is the heavier the cream is an it's higher in % of ing.

Yeah ../ that's the only way I can explain it kinda sorta. Don't mine me it's like 5AM ///

[Guest lala1111430262341]

i feel that foot cream is the most oily and thick..and then is the hand cream

body lotion is more liquidy..
