I still remember the first time I laid eyes on Soft Services’ Theraplush Overnight Repair Treatment ($62) when it launched in 2022. Not to sound overly dramatic, but the hand cream seemed like everything I’d ever dreamed of in a modern, standout product. It ticked all the boxes: aesthetically pleasing, sustainably intentioned and thoughtfully formulated. Once I finally got my hands on it—literally—it exceeded my expectations and quickly earned a permanent spot on my bedside table (a rare honor, as most of my beauty essentials stay on the bathroom vanity).
The honey-colored, artfully designed case and fragrance-free formula instantly stole my heart and it was clear I wasn’t the only one obsessed; the original was so popular that the brand could hardly keep it in stock. (When it was very temporarily discontinued in 2023, fans, including myself, were distraught.) So when I heard Soft Services was launching a fragranced option in a chic pink container by popular demand—available now—it felt like a dream I didn’t even know I had.
Enter my new obsession: Soft Services Theraplush “Hold” Refillable Overnight Retinol Hand Repair Cream ($62), exclusively at Sephora. I’ve since swapped out the original for this version and, as fate would have it, the soft pink case even matches my bedding. The scent is subtle—a powdery floral scent—and the formula is just as effective as the OG, featuring powerhouse ingredients like retinol to speed up cell turnover, colloidal oatmeal to soothe and soften and panthenol to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. In other words, it’s packed with everything you’d want in a luxe, super-chic hand cream that you reach for every night before bed.
If the price tag made you pause, let me explain why it’s worth every penny. First, this isn’t just a hand cream—it’s a little piece of art that actually looks good in your home. Second, you’ll never need to replace the case (and pay $62 again) because it’s refillable. Refills cost $36—not exactly a bargain, but this is essentially a facial-quality skin-care treatment for your hands. It’s an investment, yes, but one I stand by if you’re into the fusion of home decor and high-quality beauty. I really don’t think you’ll regret it.
