Clarins hand cream for me.

Another vote for Norwegian Formula - but only if you're not allergic to glycerin.

Thank you for this post as my skin is so dry lately. My son says that I dont drink enough water but I cannot physically drink anymore! I have been trying E45 cream but it doesn’t seem to do the trick at all. I will be trying some of the ones that have been mentioned here.

Please check that whatever cream you choose that it’s ingredients are responsibly sourced and doesn’t contain palm oil

Nutrogena for hands Aveeno for body.

Tried lots of different ones but always go back to atrixo it isn't greasy leaves hands soft and is inexpensive

My best are
O'Keefe's Working Hands for when their are really bad

Urtekram Rose hand cream - an eco brand that smells great as made with rose oil

Body Shop Olive range . am currently using the lotion as handcream

DermaGuard Skin Protector with moisturiser. It's fragrance free, £6.99 for a 250ml bottle at Lakeland and a bottle lasts for ages.
I keep one by the kitchen sink, one by the bathroom basin and one by my bed. I've been using it for about 10 years now and it works!

I’ve been using Attrixo for a long time and it’s the only one that is not too greasy and sinks in. My mother used to use “Care” which was a similar cream but I haven’t seen it for years.

Going to try the Aldi version. Cannot apply it sitting down my Border Collie makes a beeline for me and wants to lick it all off again LOL!!

Clarins only and forever, last absolutely ages, v good foot cream too.

I wonder why the Nulon my Mum used to use disappeared. I always remember her using it after washing up.

Weleda Skin Food is very very hydrating, mine get very chapped and sore in winter and this cream works a treat. I also use the cotton glove trick nipsmum uses.

I remember when I started nurse training in 1958. My hands got really cracked and painful. My mum rubbed glycerine into them at night and put on a pair of cotton gloves. It did sting a bit but worked like magic. No more sore hands for me..Cheap simple and very effective.

The Avon Avocado hand cream is just wonderful, so nourishing and soothing. £2 per tube so excellent value.

O’Keeffe’s working hands is my favourite too. I put some on before bed - so it has time to work overnight.

Aveeno is good, but our local Aldi had their own version (looked very similar!) and I've been using it for the past few weeks and it's just as good, but being Aldi, even cheaper!

Hi, I use a cream I got through friends of anchor in Aberdeen and it's called UDDERLY SMOOTH MOISTURISING CREAM extra care cream it's really good and for all over and not greasy,it's made in USA and was originally for dairy cows you might b able to Google it

Just to add, I found it superior to the Body Shop (not to mention cheaper). Body Shop one was rather weedy and runny.

If you can get to an Aldi, their hemp hand cream is wonderful. £1.49 for a tube, its sold out online. I bought 5 tubes recently so I wouldn't run out. Like most of their cosmetic stuff they discontinue it after a few weeks.

I agree with muse. The Body Shop hemp hand cream is superb, one of the best I’ve used. Not got any at the moment though. I forgot to mention it in my post before.

Thank you Georgesgran about QVC. It was down to the Q that I got into L’occitane.
They have a presale on of a TSV coming up at the weekend. I ordered it yesterday and includes a hand cream as well as a couple of travel sizes. It works out quite good value and is a decent Christmas gift. It is on easy pays and will be one of my Christmas presents from DH.

Another vote for Neutrogena here. It was actually recommended to me by my Mum many, many years ago! It came in a metal tube then and was advertised as being “ used by Norwegian fishermen”. I’ve tried others when I’ve been given them but always prefer the Neutrogena.

Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector. 100ml - £12
Great for ultra dry hands and keeps skin hydrated for a long period.

This large 100ml last me the year and I use it regularly as I'm outside a lot which dries my skin. . Need to be glove free some of the time.
