Hand cream recommendations please!

Hi all,

It’s getting pretty cold here and it’s making my hands very dry and a little bit red / sore.

The hand cream I’ve tried doesn’t seem to be doing much at all for hydrating and improving the skin on my hands and just leaves them feeling really greasy.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any great hand creams for hydration and soothing, that just sink in without the greasy feel?

Thanks very much!

Top choice: O'keefes working hands. Little bit goes a long way. Greasiness goes away super quick. My SO is a nurse and thinks its a miracle drug. My construction worker father says he has never had his hands felt better since I forced it on him. Not that expensive, lasts forever. They also have a foot formula(but its basically the same almost. I just use it for both). comes in both a tub and tube. I have a tube for work/carry around. Tub at home since its a bit more cost effective where I live. Some people say it makes their hands/skin tingle. I have never had that problem. Its a HG choice for me. Good price, Extremely Effective, absorbs at an acceptable rate.

Alternates
Neutrogena Norwegian formula. My SO's hand cream of choice since it comes in a nice travel size. A bit more greasy but it also fades quick.

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Hands. I like it a lot. Always been a fan of this brand, just comes with a higher price tag. I pick up some when its on sale. If i reach for Working hands 7/10 times id pick this up 3/10 times.

The Eucerin Urea Repair Plus handcream is perfect for what you describe you need. Not at all greasy but does its job perfectly. No horrible scent either.

You need urea 10% hand cream.

Try Goldbond and I promise you will not be disappointed!! If you're looking for one that will sink into your skin and provide immediate moisture try the hyaluronic acid formula, it's non greasy and a huge 20oz bottle is under $13 at Walmart. Or try the healing cream that's extremely moisturizing thick and heavy great for winter skin. I've tried so many that are way over priced and in-between and I always come back to these! It will become a staple in your house. Also the foot cream is amazing!!

All these recommendations are great! You can also take the hand creams that aren’t working so well and apply them right before bed with a layer of Vaseline on top. That’ll help lock in the moisture and hopefully get some use out of the cream you already bought! :)
