There are very few things that both work well and look phenomenal. Sometimes you have to sacrifice aesthetics for functionality or settle for subpar just because “it looks nice” (been there, done that). However, the Soft Services Theraplush Overnight Repair Treatment is not one of those things. Since its inception in 2022, the beauty brand has yet to be able to keep the much-loved hand cream in stock. It went viral primarily because of its stunning packaging but sold out twice once shoppers figured out just how extraordinary the formula is. Luckily for you and me, the retinol-infused product is back and better than ever.

The Theraplush Overnight Repair Treatment is unlike any other hand cream on the market. Instead of applying and reapplying after washing your hands or when they feel dry and cracked, the Soft Services product only needs to be used once at night, right before bed. It’s formulated with colloidal oatmeal to soothe skin, panthenol, a pro-vitamin B5 to restore, and pure retinol — which is usually reserved just for facial products — at a level that’s safe for your hands that’ll nourish them like never before. But there’s so much more to love about the viral cream.

The lush and custardy texture is dense but not heavily rich. The brand describes it as a “cream that gloves hands in a soft, waxy layer.” That might sound odd initially, but since it works overnight, it gives your hands a much more soft and nourished look in the morning. This product is wonderful for mature hands who experience age spots, have delicate skin, or want a more polished and manicured look. And considering winter is in full swing, there’s never been a better time to get your hands on this cream — no pun intended.

Also, the packaging is downright gorgeous. The cream comes in a reusable gold-hued ribbed cylinder case that’ll look beautiful on any nightstand and entice you to use it every evening. It has an airless pump that offers easy, clean application — which is great to hear. In March of 2023, Soft Servicesheard the concerns of four of its customers who shared that they’d experienced mold in the former Theraplush systems after using it for some time. While there weren’t any reports of adverse reactions, the brand decided to stop production of the hand cream until they could bring back a cleaner, better, and safer product. 

The new and improved Theraplush Overnight Repair Treatment has new packaging and more panthenol than the original formula. So your hands will feel more restored and repaired after a day of cracked, dry skin. You can shop the new luxe hand product now. But don’t sleep on it because it’s bound to sell out again.
