Avon Skin So Soft Hand Cream

I have this handcream in two formulations, the Replenishing Hand Cream and the Age-Defying Hand Cream (never to early to start on that)... I have to say they are actually very different. The Replenishing Hand Cream uses Avon's Patented Delivery System whereas the Age-Defying does not. I notice that the Age-Defying has a different absorbency because of this. It's a little more of a greasy, traditional handcream, with a light, indistinct scent. It works well but doesn't blow me away. I'd give it a 3.3 out of 4.0. The Replenishing Hand Cream, on the other hand, is brilliant. It is hard to describe how it sinks in- basically your skin feels very smooth and silky but not greasy or moist as some creams leave you. I feel the distinction here is that if handcream doesn't make you greasy it makes you have that moist/puffed up with water feeling. This is somewhere in between. Your skin in very silky but the coating on your hands is whisper light. You have to try it to see for yourself. I would recommend this one, it comes in three different scents, the original Skin So Soft, kind of an herbal smell (been told it's a natural bug repellent), light and lush which is rather citrisy, and soft and sensual which is more of a floral I suppose. I don't currently own any soft and sensual products so I can't give a dead on description of it right now. The original scent I have heard mixed reviews on. My dad hated it, claiming it smelled "awful". Sometimes I like it, sometimes I feel it does smell a little bug sprayish, but in a good way if that makes any sense. So I guess that means I always like it. Anyway these are ones to check out, 3.8 out of 4.0 only due to not completely loving any of the three scents although I do like them.

I love the smell and the feel. HOWEVER, me and my co-worker have had the same experience with this product. After the third day of using, a gritty dirty substance that looks like skin exfoliation starts to rub off! Is this product exfoliating? I don't know! It doesn't say!
