Ok I think I have just about tried every hand cream on the market.

Presently using Atrixo regenerating treatment but am doing a tube a week. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am fed up of having weathered, chapped hands!! Come on ladies I am sure there must be some good suggestions out there!!!
 
I have the same problem.

I am now trying Conotrane not sure if you can buy it over the counter though. You may be able to get it on prescription (Mad just for chapped hands) but when they get bad they are really sore.

Worth asking in the chemist if they can get it. Its really nice and soothing and antiseptic.
 
Udder cream - no I am not joking! Its cheap and it works. Working & Milking cows gave us really chapped hands and the only thing that worked was udder cream. Not the stuff thats peppermint scented though - that stings!!!
 
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula is FANTASTIC stuff

Ditto, I wouldnt use anything else now. Makes your hands feel like velvet.
 
When you get the answer to the best hand cream that rubs in and does not stay on the top then I'll have some of that

My thumbs have such big splits in them that I have needed to ask for help doing up girths today, as I could visibly see my fingers splitting and blood ooooozing

The best ones I have found after trying loads are the Body Shop Hemp hand cream and they also do another one thats in a tub but I can't remember the name and am too lazy to walk through to the bathroom to look

Think it might be african something. Neutrogena also do a really nourishing one. I work offshore and these three are the only ones that stop my hands getting really dry and cracked.
 
Nivea night hand cream and Burts Bees cream I find very good. When my hands get really bad, I put the cream on before I go to bed and then put a pair of cotton gloves on, so the cream isn't lost to the bed covers. It works a treat.
 
Have just been massaging a cream into my hands that a friend brought back from the Dead Sea - its really good so I'll have to send her back for more! Apart from that the only ones that do the job on my poor paws are the Body Shop Hemp and Crabtree and Evelyn Gardeners Therapy and good old Neutragena. Everything else seems too greasy or pongs. I only wash my hands with Olive Oil soap and sometimes rub Almond OIL into them. Its a whole ritual every evening as once I come indoors them start to really dry up and sting.

AT least they look like good honest working hands. The little finger that I broke jumping cross country sticks out at an angle and lends them extra character!
 
I'm on third pot of NAF Stable Hands, it's the only cream I've found that has stopped me getting horribly split hands in winter. Marvellous stuff! I wondered if it is the MSM in it maybe?

The best hand cream EVER FACT!! is Clarins hand and nail treatment cream , bit expensive but lasts ages as you only need a little and works wonders with leathery and sore hands!!
 
Anything from the shop lush. All natural, not tested on animals and full of essential oils. I'm 29 and still get ID'd regularly and I put it down to their products keeping my skin so young (and I very rarely wear make up). Helping hands is very good.
 
I also use Hemp. Apparently the best way to use it is to apply loads at bedtime and wear the white cotton gloves you can buy from body shop too. Works wonders but its not very attractive.
 
I go for Molton Brown's handcream any day of the week. It's brilliant - apart from a fantastic smell, it rubs in so easily and isn't greasy or leaves you wanting to wipe your hands after you've used it. My favourite is Naran Ji. It's expensive but very very good and the difference it's made to my cracked and chapped hands has been amazing. Discovered this in the Ladies Loo at Tattersalls Sales. Now buy it in bulk when it's on special offer on the shopping channels.

Yep, definately udder cream. Working the hunt yard all winter it's the only thing that sorted my hands....

For whoever it was who commented on it not absorbing, when mine were particularly bad, ie bleeding evertime I moved my fingers, I invested in a pair of cotton gloves and lathered my hands up before bed, sleeping in the gloves. Sorted them a treat.
