I “borrowed” this mom from my mom (LOL at borrowed). I love trying to new products, and when I tried this I absolutely fell in love with the smell. It definitely smells like cucumber, I would say it smells more of cucumber than lemon. Another great thing about this cream is that it is moisturising, yet the cream has a “whipped cream” consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin. It is completely non-sticky or greasy and it leaves hands feel supply and soft. Only thing I can’t comment on is the “brightening” effect since my hands are quite “bright” already (or pale).
