Review: Apeiu Sweet Melon Hand Cream
I love anything that smells like Melon. When I saw A'peiu (a Korean brand) released a hand cream that smells like sweet melon at a super low price, I ordered one immediately. Most of the best BB creams in my book is from Missha and I just found out recently that A'peiu is their sister company. Here's my take on the product...
The Packaging
Packaging is a standard tube like most lotions and hand creams in yellow green. It has a small drawn logo of sweet melon that will somewhat give you the illusion that the product is edible.

The tube comes in 60ml, easy to squeeze and gives off just the right amount (unlike some other hand creams with gigantic holes).
The smell from the tube reminds me the Korean "Melona" ice cream in Melon that I've always adored. I was half-surprised that the lotion is not green.:)
The scent
All my hopes had crumbled the moment I've applied the hand cream. The nice melon scent right off the tube was replaced by an annoying scent that is too artificial with a hint of cheap plastic. In 2 seconds, the yummy scent in my mind was replaced by a horrible stench that made me rub the cream off my hands. It was a bit heartbreaking.

The texture and quality
Texture is just fine, as most hand creams are. It's easily absorbed on the skin and doesn't leave a "too greasy" feel. You can put apply it in your hands and type on your computer the next minute.

Overall Verdict
For me a hand cream's selling factor is the scent, and the Sweet Melon Hand Cream failed on that aspect. Texture and quality is not as bad, but I don't like this products on my hands. I am giving it a 1 out of 5 score and will never repurchase. Really A'pieu? I'm sure you can do better.
This product is for people who are not too sensitive about scents and just looking for a fruit-scented hand cream for daily use for a very low price. I got mine on sale of Php 90 from ebay.ph.
