Product Information

What We Don’t Love: It does not keep your hands feeling moisturized for as long as some of the other options on this list.

We tested this product on hands that are frequently used for competitive weightlifting — and all the friction on the palms of hands and frequent use of the ultra-drying white chalk — that come with it. NYC-based nurse practitioner, Dr. Jodi LoGerfo, cautions that people who consistently work out with weights or heavy ropes should pay extra care to their hands. “With using weights or bars, you can get calluses and skin tears. Skin that is protected with moisturizers is less likely to get damaged while working out.” What We Love: Daily use of this hand cream not only healed our current flare-up, but also prevented future ones from appearing, despite our cold climate.While the 1.7 ounce bottle is quite small, a little truly goes a long way. One dime-sized amount can cover both hands sufficiently, and it kept our hands feeling hydrated for hours. We loved how the thin, luxurious hand cream slid onto our skin like a velvet dream. Without being too watery, the ultra-lightweight lotion disappeared into skin within seconds, requiring no wait time before engaging in other activities. With a dense formula of vitamins C and E, the ointment works across skin types, even those with sensitive, reactive skin. It also removed any kind of roughness from our hands and left a well-nourished, softer and fuller palm in its place. Dr. Wolinsky chimes in that “every time you wash your hands, you should apply hand cream to restore the skin barrier, particularly since when the skin is damp, moisturizers will be absorbed better.”

The frequency with which you should apply hand cream is determined by how good your skin barrier function is,” explains Dr. Kobets. If your hands look and feel dry, you have eczema, or are in a profession that is very hands-on (literally), then she recommends moisturizing at least two to three times a day. Ceramides are another key element to fortify the skin barrier. It does its best work in heavy-duty creams, like the EltaMD So Silky Hand Crème, says New York City-based board certified dermatologist Dr. Claire Wolinsky. She adds that other ingredients, including petrolatum "helps reduce water loss, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid are all great moisturizing ingredients." Petrolatum can be found in the Vichy Ultra-Nourishing Hand Cream and Jergens Lavender Body Butter Body and Hand Lotion, while glycerin is found in the Fenty Skin Hydra'Reset Intensive Recovery Glycerin Hand Mask.

This cream was specifically crafted to treat eczema, and we’re excited to report that it truly works. We haven’t experienced any flare-ups since we started to use this cream, which is especially noteworthy, as our editor’s palms were consistently red, itchy and inflamed at the start of the test. But after incorporating the cream into her daily routine, she says her hands have never looked better. Thanks to its inclusion of mollifying colloidal oatmeal, allantoin and sweet almond oil, the itchiness and irritation we felt from our dry skin disappeared within days. It does come with a bit of a scent, which might be a deal-breaker for you. However, it’s mild enough to not cause any irritation. What We Don’t Love: There is a mild scent, which didn’t bother us, but may be a factor to consider for others.

What We Love: The citrusy aroma is clean and fresh while the skin-nourishing ingredients make the cream feel delightful. The brand leans on the powers of cupuaçu butter (which is rich in essential nourishing fatty acids) and selenium, which is a Brazilian nut that supports your skin's natural ability to protect itself, to instantly soften the skin. It does come with a mild vanilla and coconut fragrance, which can be polarizing. We were amazed at the before and after difference in our hands, especially when it came to how soft and smooth our palms felt. Our skin looked plump and healthy, which was made more evident with each use of the product. Even in the freezing cold, a single application of this cream weathered the dry air like it was nothing. Scented hand creams can act as a subtle and sweet midday treat to your nose, particularly if the aroma is known for therapeutic properties, like the lavender in the Jergens Lavender Body Butter Body and Hand Lotion.

Fig & Vanilla Conditioner - Suitable For All Hair Types (250ml) - Vegan Friendly

Infused with rich natural Vanilla, this sweet and creamy classic will have you reminiscent of afternoons with an ice-cream cone in hand. We also added Vitamin-E and Shea Butter for a super rich, creamy skin conditioner feel. One of our editors, who is also a new mom and washes her hands frequently throughout the day, said that this cream left her skin feeling extremely smooth and soft (not unlike newborn baby skin). Even better, our eczema-riddled hands didn’t sting or burn with this cream, as it often can with other medicated lotions. Instead, it provided immediate relief that lasted for hours, even after washing our hands.
