Do face and hand creams count as liquids or gels?

Yes, face and hand creams are generally considered liquids for the purposes of travel regulations, particularly when it comes to carry-on luggage restrictions. This classification includes creams, lotions, gels, and similar products. When flying, it's important to follow the guidelines for liquid containers, which typically must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less and fit within a quart-sized bag.
