A great handcream that doesnt cost the earth ?

[mrsblakey]

Any recommendations please ?

I really like the Dr Organics Manuka Honey one, its around £5 from Holland and Barratt.

My DH swears by Crabtree and Evelyn source in the blue packet. It's about £7. His skin is a mess due to work and really helps.

Really bargain basement but diprobase from local chemists is amazing for dry hands but won't come in a pretty packet or be fragranced if that's what you are looking for.

I second the Crabtree and Evelyn ones-I find the Gardeners Hand Therapy excellent (and I am not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination).

Big fan if diprobase ointment too :) also have beeswax from local beekeepers that I picked up at a recent market £2.50 bargain and he had added a bit if lavender too.

I love the dove pro age hand cream and it's cheap, has really turned my really, dry, flakey sore hands around

L'occitane. Neutrogena.

Atrixo intensive in a pale green pot.

Not strictly a handcream but i have beem using aveno moisturising lotion on my hands and fpr me that has worked better than hand cream althought i mist admit i have a dove one that i do rate

aveeno. around 5£ and it's great stuff!

Aveeno - discovered here. I have used most cheaper handcreams including Crabtree, and it really is the best for me. I had really dry hands from lots of handwashing - Aveeno is the only thing I found that lasts through the all the hot water and soap.

Soap and glory. I love it! Smells good and isn't greasy, doesn't cost the earth.

Aveeno. It's effective and inoffensive-smelling. Frequently one-third off in Sainsbury's which is when I stock up (I always buy the body lotion too).

Neutrogena. Not the concentrated one, the one in a tube that says it is easily absorbed.

Lotil, from boots - brilliant stuff

I was moaning on here about having hands that looked in need of Polyfilla last week and was recommended Aveeno. £5 and it is really, really good.

Body Shop Hemp. It's often on special offer at £5 for the large tube.

Smells a bit funky -but does the job.

Also love L'Occcitane shea Butter hand creams - but they are more expensive.

Neutrogena Norwegian formula. Last product on this page. Excellent stuff.

Another vote for aveeno hand cream! It's brilliant

I've tried Hemp and L'Occitane, both good; but I think Aveeno is better because it moisturises for longer.

I like the Body Shop hemp cream. Soap and Glory is nice too but it does nothing for my nails.

I like the soap & glory Handfood. Smells lovely.

Another vote for body shop hemp and another vote for loccitane

Aveeeno, Body-shop hemp and the blue gardeners Crabtree (minimal gardening or me too).

thanks guys i will check out your recommendations
