The Brand & Founder
I’ve been so impressed with Navy as a brand in general. They create products that feel truly considered, elegant, and a joy to use.
I actually met the founder, Rebecca Crawforth, at the Space NK lunch celebrating Navy’s launch into Space NK and their partnership with my lovely friend Lydia Millen. Rebecca is absolutely wonderful. The kind of founder I always love to meet. She’s genuine, passionate, and supportive in a way that makes you want the very best for her and her brand.
In fact, Rebecca even went online and bought some products from my brand REESON, which was just the sweetest and kindest gesture. That kind of thoughtfulness says everything about her.
My Review
First Impressions
The first thing I noticed was the chic bottle and branding. Navy have absolutely nailed the design. It looks gorgeous on my side table, and the bottle itself feels so luxe in the hand. It’s one of those products that makes you want to reach for it, which is half the battle when it comes to building good beauty habits.
The Texture
This is where the magic happens. The Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum has the most elegant texture, sitting perfectly between an oil and a serum.
- Lightweight: It feels nourishing yet never slimy or sticky
- Quick Absorbing: It sinks in so fast, meaning you can get back to typing, scrolling, or working without greasy fingers
- Flattering Glow: A little drop smoothed over the backs of my hands gives an instant, youthful glow. It literally takes away any crepiness and makes hands look fresher and younger straight away.
It’s honestly such a pleasure to use, and it’s the first time I’ve found myself using a hand and cuticle product daily without fail.
How I Use It
I’ve made it part of my evening ritual. I keep the serum on the side table next to where I watch TV, so I naturally remember to apply it. Just a few dropa massaged into the tops of my hands and around my cuticles is enough to hydrate and condition without leaving any residue.
It’s so easy, so chic, and so effective. I’m obsessed.
- Lightweight yet deeply nourishing formula.
- Half oil, half serum texture, never greasy.
- Leaves hands looking instantly smoother and more youthful.
- Quick-drying, so you can use it anytime.
- Gorgeous, chic packaging you’ll be proud to display.
- Conditions cuticles and hands in one easy step.
Why I Love It
This product really ticks all the boxes for me: it’s beautiful to look at, easy to use, and delivers instant visible results. My hands feel soft, my cuticles are cared for, and I don’t have to pause my day because of greasy residue.
It’s one of those products that feels like a true ritual of self-care, and I can see myself repurchasing it again and again.
It has a texture that’s halfway between a serum and an oil – light, silky, and non-greasy.

No, it absorbs super quickly and leaves only a flattering glow, no stickiness or slime.
Is it good for daily use?
Absolutely. Because it’s so lightweight and non-messy, it’s easy to apply every day.

Yes, it sinks in so fast that you can get straight back to your keyboard without any oily residue.
