Nykaa sells seven Wanderlust hand cream scents, and all seven show exactly 659,363 ratings. Same Rs. 254, same Rs. 299 stated MRP, same 15% badge, same 4.3 stars. It is one pooled count printed on seven tiles, and it is the biggest number on the shelf. Read on 13 November 2026, these 35 listings run Rs. 159 to Rs. 2,159 — and hand cream almost never goes below a 15% badge.
📅 Update log:
13 November 2026: first published. All 35 listings, their selling prices, stated MRPs, badges, star averages and rating counts read from Nykaa's own search response on this date, logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Counts, medians and badge groupings are arithmetic on Nykaa's published figures, which are listed beside them. Nothing was ordered, opened or applied, and no moisturisation, brightening or duration claim on any listing tile has been tested. No price-per-millilitre figure is calculated, because pack sizes are not reliably stated in these titles.
Nykaa's own Wanderlust label sells seven different hand cream scents, and all seven tiles report the same 659,363 ratings. Same Rs. 254, same stated MRP of Rs. 299, same 15% badge, same 4.3 stars — seven scents, one pool.
659,363 is the largest rating count anywhere in this read, and it is not evidence about any one scent. Read on 13 November 2026, the 35 listings here run Rs. 159 to Rs. 2,159, and hand cream badges stop at 25% while body lotion reaches 55%.
This is a price and ratings read, not a skincare test. Nothing was ordered, opened or applied. Nothing here verifies moisturisation, brightening, SPF or any "72H" or "96H" claim — those are seller descriptions on the listing tiles and this read has tested none of them. Pack sizes are not reliably stated in these titles, so no price-per-ml figure is calculated anywhere on this page.
What the shelf looks like
| Field | Range | Median | Note |
|---|
| Hand cream price | Rs. 159 – Rs. 446 | Rs. 254 | 10 distinct |
| Body lotion price | Rs. 245 – Rs. 2,159 | Rs. 399 | 15 distinct |
| Hand cream badge | 10% – 51% | 15% | 14 of 18 at 10% or 15% |
| Body lotion badge | 20% – 55% | 25% | reaches 55% |
| Rating count | 834 – 659,363 | — | 0 of 35 unrated |
Two different shelves sit under one bath-and-body heading. Hand cream is a tight band — Rs. 159 to Rs. 446, a 2.8-fold spread across 18 listings. Body lotion runs Rs. 245 to Rs. 2,159, an 8.8-fold spread across 17.
Every single listing in this read carries a rating. That is unusual: on marketplace shelves half the tiles are routinely unrated. The catch is what some of those counts are actually counting.
Seven scents, one rating count of 659,363
| Nykaa Wanderlust scent | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge | Stars | Ratings |
|---|
| Rose & White Musk | Rs. 254 | Rs. 299 | 15% | 4.3 | 659,363 |
| Strawberry & Vanilla | Rs. 254 | Rs. 299 | 15% | 4.3 | 659,363 |
| French Lavender & Honey | Rs. 254 | Rs. 299 | 15% | 4.3 | 659,363 |
| Coconut & Shea Butter | Rs. 254 | Rs. 299 | 15% | 4.3 | 659,363 |
| Magnolia & White Tea | Rs. 254 | Rs. 299 | 15% | 4.3 | 659,363 |
| Vanilla & Cinnamon | Rs. 254 | Rs. 299 | 15% | 4.3 | 659,363 |
| Peach & Almond | Rs. 254 | Rs. 299 | 15% | 4.3 | 659,363 |
Seven separate product pages, seven separate scents, and the identical figure of 659,363 ratings on every one. The star average is 4.3 on all seven as well.
That is a pooled rating, not seven independent verdicts. Nykaa is reporting feedback on the Wanderlust hand cream line as a whole and showing it on each scent's tile. Grouping reviews across variants of one product is ordinary and lawful; it is also the single most misleading number on this page if you read it as evidence about the Peach & Almond specifically.
Nothing here says the rating is wrong. It says the 659,363 people did not all buy the scent you are looking at, and nothing on the tile tells you how the figure splits.
Vaseline runs the same pool across two listings
| Listing | Tiles | You pay | Badge | Rating count |
|---|
| Nykaa Wanderlust Hand & Nail Crème | 7 | Rs. 254 | 15% | 659,363 on all seven |
| Vaseline Gluta-Hya Dewy Radiance | 2 | Rs. 311 | 25% | 66,344 on both |
| NIVEA Nourishing Body Milk | 1 | Rs. 645 | 25% | 321,578 |
| Vaseline Deep Moisture | 1 | Rs. 553 | 35% | 169,580 |
| Plum BodyLovin Vanilla Caramello | 1 | Rs. 440 | 20% | 38,030 |
Two Vaseline Gluta-Hya Dewy Radiance listings both sell at Rs. 311 against a stated MRP of Rs. 415, both badge 25%, and both report 4.4 stars on exactly 66,344 ratings. One product, two tiles, one pool.
Below those, the counts behave normally. NIVEA's Nourishing Body Milk carries 321,578 ratings on a single listing and Vaseline Deep Moisture 169,580 — large numbers, but attached to one product each.
The practical test is cheap. If two tiles show the identical rating count to the last digit, treat it as one pool and not as two products that independently earned the same score.
Hand cream stops at 25% off. Body lotion goes to 55%
| Badge | Hand creams | Body lotions | Who |
|---|
| 10% | 4 | — | Earth Rhythm, Fixderma, two Body Shop |
| 15% | 10 | — | All seven Wanderlust, two Nat Habit, Kimirica |
| 17% | 1 | — | Nat Habit |
| 20% | 1 | 5 | Aroma Magic | Wishcare, Victoria's Secret, Wanderlust, Plum, NIVEA |
| 25% | 1 | 4 | TNW | Vaseline ×2, Dove, NIVEA |
| 30% | — | 1 | NIVEA Super 10 |
| 35% | — | 2 | Vaseline Deep Moisture, Vaseline Cocoa Glow |
| 40% | — | 3 | mCaffeine ×2, The Body Shop |
| 51% | 1 | — | Jeva — 3.5 stars, the lowest here |
| 54% | — | 1 | Joy Honey & Almonds |
| 55% | — | 1 | Mamaearth Rice Water |
14 of the 18 hand creams badge either 10% or 15%, and all seven Wanderlust scents are in the 15% group. Only one hand cream on the shelf badges above 25%.
Body lotion behaves completely differently, spreading across seven badge values and topping out at 55% on Mamaearth's Rice Water lotion and 54% on Joy Honey & Almonds.
The one deep hand cream badge is also the weakest-rated product here. The Jeva Milk & Saffron cream badges 51% at Rs. 159 and carries 3.5 stars on 834 ratings — the lowest star average in the read. That is one listing on one day, not a rule about cheap hand cream, but it is the only place on this shelf where a big badge and a weak score sit together.
The two ends of the shelf
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge | Stars / ratings |
|---|
| Jeva Milk & Saffron Hand Cream | Rs. 159 | Rs. 325 | 51% | 3.5 / 834 |
| Aroma Magic Nourishing Hand Cream | Rs. 180 | Rs. 225 | 20% | 4.3 / 1,863 |
| NIVEA Super 10 Glow Serum Body Lotion | Rs. 245 | Rs. 350 | 30% | 4.4 / 725 |
| The Body Shop British Rose Petal Soft | Rs. 446 | Rs. 495 | 10% | 4.2 / 1,047 |
| The Body Shop Pomegranate Body Lotion | Rs. 777 | Rs. 1,295 | 40% | 4.5 / 409 |
| Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Lotion | Rs. 2,159 | Rs. 2,699 | 20% | 4.4 / 1,433 |
Rs. 159 buys a hand cream; Rs. 2,159 buys a body lotion. Between them sits a Body Shop hand balm at Rs. 446 badging 10% and a NIVEA lotion at Rs. 245 badging 30%.
The badge is not tracking the price here the way it does on clothing shelves. The Rs. 2,159 Victoria's Secret lotion badges 20% — the same value as the Rs. 399 Wishcare and the Rs. 440 Plum.
What this read cannot tell you
Nothing here was ordered, opened or applied. A Nykaa listing tile carries a name, a brand, a selling price, a stated MRP, a badge, a star average and a rating count. It does not verify moisturisation, brightening, tan control, SPF, ingredient concentration or any "72H", "96H" or "10 seconds" claim. Those phrases appear on the tiles as seller descriptions, are reported here as published, and no claim is made that any of them is accurate or inaccurate.
No price-per-millilitre figure appears anywhere on this page, and that is deliberate. Pack sizes are not reliably stated in these listing titles — some say 30 ml, most say nothing — so dividing price by a size we have not confirmed would invent a number. If unit cost is what you are after, read the net quantity off the product page itself.
The 659,363 figure is quoted exactly as Nykaa publishes it on each of the seven Wanderlust scent pages. We have not been told how it splits between scents, and we do not claim it is inflated, fabricated or wrong. We claim only what is visible: the same number appears on seven different product tiles, so it cannot be seven independent counts.
This is one read of 35 listings on one day, logged out, from one Indian connection. Nykaa's shelf is far larger than 35 products; these are the listings the search response returned for "hand cream" and "body lotion", and a different day or a logged-in session may show different prices and a different set.
Prices, stated MRPs, badges and rating counts move daily, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Nykaa or by any brand named. Grouping reviews across variants of one product, and stating a reference price above a selling price, are ordinary and lawful retail practices.
How to shop this shelf
- Check whether the rating count repeats. All seven Wanderlust scents show 659,363 and both Vaseline Gluta-Hya tiles show 66,344. An identical count to the last digit means one pool, not two verdicts.
- Do not expect a hand cream discount. 14 of 18 badge 10% or 15%, and only one listing in the whole hand cream set badges above 25%.
- Body lotion is where the deep badges live. Mamaearth at 55% and Joy at 54% are the only listings above 40% in this read.
- Rs. 254 is the hand cream median and also the Wanderlust price. If you are paying much more, you are buying a brand — The Body Shop's two tubes are Rs. 446 at a 10% badge.
- Read the net quantity off the product page. These titles mostly do not state pack size, so a Rs. 159 tube and a Rs. 446 tube are not necessarily the same amount of cream.
- Treat the claims on the tile as marketing. "72H", "96H", "repairs dryness in 10 seconds" — none of that is tested by a price read.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hand cream cost on Nykaa in November 2026?
Across 18 hand cream listings read on 13 November 2026, prices run Rs. 159 to Rs. 446 with a median of Rs. 254. Nykaa's own Wanderlust Hand & Nail Crème sits exactly on that median at Rs. 254 against a stated MRP of Rs. 299, and seven different scents all carry that same price. The Body Shop is the top of the range at Rs. 446 for two tubes, and the cheapest is a Jeva cream at Rs. 159. Prices move daily, nothing was bought to verify a checkout total, and no coupon or bank offer is included in any figure.
Why do seven Nykaa Wanderlust hand creams all show 659,363 ratings?
Because the rating is pooled across the line, not counted per scent. Rose & White Musk, Strawberry & Vanilla, French Lavender & Honey, Coconut & Shea Butter, Magnolia & White Tea, Vanilla & Cinnamon and Peach & Almond each show 4.3 stars on 659,363 ratings — the same figure to the last digit. That is one pool shown seven times, so it is not evidence about the scent you are looking at. Grouping reviews across variants of a single product is ordinary and lawful retail practice, and nothing here suggests the number is fabricated. Vaseline does the same thing with two Gluta-Hya listings that both report 66,344.
Is hand cream ever heavily discounted on Nykaa?
Almost never, on this read. 14 of the 18 hand creams badge either 10% or 15%, and the badge ceiling for the rest is 25%. Only one hand cream in the whole set goes deeper — a Jeva Milk & Saffron cream at 51% off, Rs. 159 against a stated MRP of Rs. 325, which also carries the lowest star average on the shelf at 3.5. Body lotion is a different story: it spreads across seven badge values and reaches 55% on Mamaearth's Rice Water lotion and 54% on Joy Honey & Almonds.
What is the most expensive body lotion on Nykaa?
In this read of 17 body lotions, Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction at Rs. 2,159 against a stated MRP of Rs. 2,699, a 20% badge, 4.4 stars on 1,433 ratings. The cheapest is NIVEA's Super 10 Glow Serum lotion at Rs. 245. That is an 8.8-fold spread, and the badge does not track it — the Rs. 2,159 Victoria's Secret badges the same 20% as a Rs. 399 Wishcare and a Rs. 440 Plum. Note that these listings are different sizes and this page calculates no price per millilitre, because the pack sizes are not reliably stated in the titles.
Do the moisturising claims on Nykaa hand cream listings hold up?
This read cannot tell you. Several tiles carry phrases such as "72H moisturization", "96H nourishing moisture" and "repairs dryness in 10 seconds". Those are seller descriptions reported exactly as published; nothing was ordered, opened or applied, and no claim is made here that any of them is accurate or inaccurate. A price-and-ratings read is the wrong tool for a skincare claim. It can tell you that seven Wanderlust scents share one rating pool and that hand cream badges stop at 25% — it cannot tell you how long a cream lasts on your hands.
Prices & codes last verified: November 13, 2026
Prices, stated MRPs, badges, star averages and rating counts recorded from Nykaa on 13 November 2026 and will change. Nothing was ordered, opened or applied. This read does not verify moisturisation, brightening, SPF, ingredient concentration or any '72H', '96H' or '10 seconds' claim; where a listing title states such a claim it is reported as the seller published it, and no claim is made here that it is accurate or inaccurate. No price-per-millilitre figure is calculated on this page, because pack sizes are not reliably stated in these listing titles. The 659,363 rating count is quoted exactly as Nykaa publishes it on all seven Wanderlust scent pages; this page claims only that the same figure appears seven times, not that it is inaccurate. Grouping reviews across variants of one product, and stating a reference price above a selling price, are ordinary and lawful retail practices, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Nykaa or by any brand named. No coupon code, bank offer or delivery charge is included in any figure.
