Hanni impresses in reviews for making body care feel effortless and effective—its Splash Salve, Water Balm, Cocoon Cleanse, and Shave Pillow earn praise for deep hydration, elegant scents, and easy application, while the weighted safety razor delivers a close shave with less irritation. Reviews also flag drawbacks: inconsistent moisturization for very dry skin, strong or polarizing fragrance, heavy or greasy feel for Splash Salve, tricky razor learning curve with clogging and nicks, and packaging/application quirks.

  • Love the smell, hydration, and experience of using this product! I was a bit skeptical at first but the smell/product experience are extremely luxurious and have really leveled up my shower/shaving experience.

  • I feel so honored to have tried this via this platform, typically don't go for anything to pricy for myself. Thanks to this opportunity I discovered how this balm feels so good on my skin. This was a great addition to my shaving routine. I tend to bit really dry and have minor skin flare up and this help rehydrated and protect.

  • The Hanni Splash Salve is an in-shower moisture treatment that helps with the dryness and dullness of the skin. After using this treatment, I can see how my skin becomes softer and glows. This product has a subtle scent, which is great for those who don't prefer overpowering scents. Since this product hydrates my skin so well, I find that I did not need to use any lotion. This treatment also kept my skin hydrated and soft even after many hours have gone by.

  • I tried the splash salve product since I'm typically too lazy to apply lotion after showering, because I feel as if I need to wait a couple minutes before putting on clothes or the lotion won't have a moment to sink in. I think the idea for the product is great, however, I ran into the same issue of applying the salve, rinsing per instructions, and then needing to towel off. I found that after a few days, the towel smelled like the salve, which isn't necessarily a negative but I guess I expected that the format would be less likely to rub off on textiles compared to regular body lotion. Either way, I do feel as if my skin was more moisturized and hydrated, so I'm giving the product 4 stars!

  • Absolutely love this in shower cream! I use it right before getting out of the shower and make sure to just pat dry when getting out. This keeps my legs ultra moisturized until the next time I shower. I really like the scent too! Will definitely repurchase.

  • I suffer from dry and sensitive skin especially during the harsh winter months in Chicago.  I have tried several hydrating lotions and each one has left lack luster results.  However, this Hanna Water Balm spray is amazing.  For one, it is so much easier to use and apply than a traditional lotion. Two, the smell is out of this world and each time I use it I feel like I am either at a luxurious spa or on vacation to a fun destination.  The smell alone will make me a regular user. Yet the fact that I have also seen miraculous results in the look, feel and softness of my skin is the best thing I could ask for.

  • This stuff is wonderful! Hanni smells heavenly and it not only helps me to skip a step after my shower, the salve keeps my skin moisturized so much longer than regular moisturizer! i wish i could buy it by the gallon!

  • I have been using the HANNI Splash Salve In-Shower Body Moisture Treatment for a few weeks now, and I must say that I am quite pleased with it. I find it very convenient to apply the product in the shower and rinse off the excess with ease. The consistency of the product is just right - not too heavy or greasy on my skin. It keeps my skin moisturized for days, which is excellent. However, I am not particularly fond of the scent, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. I do have to admit that the product can be a bit messy at times and clogs my shower drain, which is a bit frustrating. On the bright side, I appreciate the brand's ethos and mission. Overall, I would recommend this product to my family and friends!

  • Even after a year of use, I find the razor hard to use and often nick my knees. And when I do, I bleed A LOT. I don’t like that you can only use Hanni’s blades with this razor; that’s abnormal for safety razors and adds a lot to the cost of continued use. The shave lotion is terrific.

  • I am not a fan of the smell. A mix between cardboard and coconut. It’s also very hard to get out of the container. I feel like the top is too big in the product will go back quickly.

  • Solid product. This style of shaving takes a bit of practice but once you get it you won’t use another.

  • I purchased the Hanni spray-on lotion and it's a lovely unisex scent! I love the look and feel of the bottle. It makes it super easy to spray on lotion after a shower or bath, but it does come out pretty concentrated from the spray bottle. I do wish that it was a bit more moisturizing for the winter - this is more of a light summer lotion. It's really lovely!

  • Great idea, but the razor is so sharp that I cut myself so bad 2 years later I still have a scar on my foot!

  • I've tried all sorts of razors over the 20-ish years I've been shaving & I love my Hanni most. It's a nice heavy weight that takes a little getting used to (and some patience) but it's totally worth it for the close shave it gives. I like how easy it is to replace the razors & how sturdy the device itself feels. I'd be interested in trying the other products Hanni offers at some point but am stocked up on razors with no reason to order anytime soon! The cute colors are another bonus & I love the travel top, though it is susceptible to tearing. I've used my razor for ~1.5 years and would recommend it to anyone.

  • I have only tried the Shave Pillow but it is one of my favorite shaving creams, or shaving cream alternatives, I have tried. It exfoliates when you rub it on, and the bits that exfoliate don't get stuck in your razor which I also love. A bit pricey when you consider it is shaving cream, but It lasts longer than any EOS or high end shaving cream I have tried. Love the scent too, though it doesn't last long after you shave. I wish the product was more sustainable, or had a refill option so I didn't have to buy a new container when I run out.

  • I have the razor and the shave pillow. I just wish the shave pillow had a refill option because it felt so unsustainable to throw out the container each time, so I stopped buying it. I loved the smell though - spicy and subtle. The water balm, however, was way too scented for me. The customer service was fantastic, and they even have the little container to dispose your used razors. I do have to say the razor is a bit hard for me to succeed at; I keep cutting myself when shaving.

  • Great product feel and packaging - it's a refreshing items that adds moisture and feels like a luxury product. If I'm feeling particularly dry, I'll use a different product underneath. But for every day, I like it. Fun to use right out of the shower. Actually, my favorite use is mid-day...I leave it on the bathroom counter and spray it on my arms for an extra boost. On its own, is it the most hydrating product ever? No, but that's not what I'm expecting out of it.

  • I am absolutely obsessed with this product! I always use moisturizer after I shower, and I was very skeptical that I was going to get the same level of hydration with this water. I decided to test it and use normal moisturizer on one leg and the water on the other leg and I have to say it’s actually more hydrating than my regular moisturizer. The packaging is really nice and heavy and I definitely see myself repurposing it when I’m done. I will be buying this at full price when I’m done with it without a doubt.

  • I got the water balm during the thingdrop and I'm pretty happy with it! I've been using it for less than a week and so far haven't had any issues with it! I wish there was a way to patent a way to spray upside down consistently to use it easier on my lower legs but if I sit down or just put my leg on the counter I don't have a problem with application. It's really easy to use after the shower and you do have to rub it in but it's easier than rubbing in spray sunscreen! It feels light and non-greasy and has a nice light scent. I don't know how to describe the scent but it's almost rose like without being rosy! My boyfriend also likes how it smells on me so I will definitely be repurchasing. I also liked the packaging! The glass bottle feels luxe and the packaging it came in was recyclable I believe. Hoping that in the future I can buy a refill of it to reuse my bottle! looking forward to hopefully trying other products of theirs!

  • Would give this 6/5 stars if I could. I also want to note up front that their customer service is wonderful. I emailed a week after purchasing the Thingdrop and not only did someone get back to me right away, but they later offered a discount on a future purchase since there was a (very short) wait for the product to ship. I'm extremely particular when it comes to moisturizers and the like, especially with products I work into my daily routine. The Water Balm is truly special. "Weightless mist" doesn't even begin to describe how neat this feels once applied on the skin -- it's silky yet subtle but also does what it says it will do, moisturize. Because it's a mist, it's even easier to apply and work into my post-shower skincare. The bottle is beautiful and feels luxurious. My skin feels *treated* and quenched, and the best part: absolutely zero residue. I almost didn't believe it, because most lotions and products that claim "no residue" always leave a little *something* on my hands. Not Water Balm. This magical product sinks right into my skin and hands, and I don't feel the need to wash them off after applying. On top of that, the scent is lovely. It doesn't have staying power (the scent), but that's OK with me. I've taken to reapplying this usually once throughout the day, especially on hotter days in the city. This is a product I know I'll want to repurchase in the future.
