helloo! well i have been having really bad cracks on my hands- i wash my hands a lot and i also have a condition called eczema (i think thats how its spelled)which makes my skin unusually dry. what is the best hand cream any of you have used that is good for dry, cracked hands...i think i have tried all of them but maybe somebody can suggest a new one on the market!

thanks a bunch ladies! aloha~ debbie

 
Neutrogena, Shea butter and Weleda's calendula cream. those are my top 3, the first probably being shea butter because it's the one that is absorbed the most quickly by my skin.

 
I would reccomend shea butter or cocoabutter. My mum has the most wonderful hands, and that is because she moisturises them every single night. Maybe you could try taking a mini-moisturiser bottle in your bag with you and applying regularly?

if you want super moisture, i find that this is a good tip:

before bed, apply a thick, highly moisturising product such as the body shop body butter, and then pop on a pair of cotton gloves over night, and the moisture will be kept locked in! awesome stuff

best of luck with your search

 
Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy... I've been using their Summer Hill scented one, but they also have goat's milk and jojoba oil ones too. Second best for me is Miso Pretty Hand & Body Cream, and third is Mary Kay Satin Hands.

 
I use Clarins hand cream and Sally Hanson's 18 hour hand cream. Both are great but for seriously damaged skin I would start with the S. H. after a shower and wear gloves overnight. Also try some Bag balm...

 
i have quite dry hands and i use hemp by the body shop....absolutely fantastic and ur hands are left smooth and silky....swear by it for dry hands and i even use the lipbalm stick and face cream.

 
I love the Mary Kay hand lotions. Not a big fan of their makeup, but their lotions rock.

 
I love Nivea hand cream. I'm a nurse and I wash my hands all day. It stays on and my hands are always soft.

 
i love Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream, and now they have a winter version for SUPER dry hands. love L'Occitane Shea as well

 
Biotherm's Biomains hand cream. It strengthens your nails and moisturizes your cuticles, too. One thing I love is that, at first it feels a little greasy, but it absorbs in really quickly and just leaves your hands feeling comfortable and soft. I've converted a ton of people to this product and even had a manicurist ask what I use because my cuticles were in such good shape. No other hand cream has ever worked as well for me. The only downside is that you have to order online.

 
my fav is weleda sanddorn hand cream. dont know the english word for sanddorn sorry =/

but if you have really dry skin i would say too, to get a cream with urea in it, perhaps eucerin. urea 5% or 10% would help your hands i think!

I recommend either real cocoa butter from a reputable health food store or also I have been using the products shown here above from bee luscious cosmetics, they have I have seen on the site special products for excema but I do love their moisture mitts and rescue balm. I also recommend aloe vera plant gel because it is very healing.

 
After trying many hand creams, I'm still loving my Loccitane with sheabutter.
