Best hand creams?

[bltblt]

My hands have started being quite dry and looking , well, a bit old!! (Im 41)..... any recommendations? Thinking of buying a few to throw into different bags, desk at work etc x

Body shop hemp

I like the Kiehls Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. It smells slightly medicinal but I love the smell.

I like the Oliver Bonas ones

Body shop hemp is amazing but it smells kind of gross.

Thanks ladies. I’ve always bought and sporadically used the clarins one but it’s a bit pricey. I’ll give your suggestions a go!

I used to use the Body Shop hemp one but have discovered Locitane Shea butter Dry hand cream. It's brilliant especially if your fingers go all dry & cracked like mine do. Smells much nicer too without being too heavily perfumed.

I've used the Clarins one in the past too when I had one as part of a present set but Locitane wins.

Recently bought this one GarnierHandRepair(Amazon). Really pleased with it.

My hands have always been quite dry, and having tried prefer much everything at different price levels, the only one that consistently works is L'Occitane Shea Butter hand cream. Don't needs loads, very thick and rich and lasts a long time.

I like the Neal's Yard Bee Lovely but mainly for the smell (honey and the most gorgeous orange smell) and moisturizing ability I'm not sure about anti wrinkle abilities though.

The L'occitane ones that come in the little tubes are the best!

Roger & Gallet - gorgeous scent & sinks in so quickly. I've also just started using the Neutrogena one with SPF 25 - not a fan of the texture but it's the only one I've found with SPF in so that is my attempt to anti-age my hands!

I'm a big fan of Crabtree and Evelyn, the hand remedy is amazing, really rich and you only need a little bit of it at a time. My favourite is the lemon one...it smells devine!

Loccitane intensive hand balm, the one in the white tube. It’s fab as it’s really rich but absorbs quickly without making your hands sticky or greasy

Agree with posters who said L'Occitane ones in metal tubes - they are lovely and smell divine. Or I use Aveeno as a general day to day use if I cant afford/run out of posh present

This one

If you're particular about smells and looking for unscented then Neutrogena Norwegian Formula is good. Very moisturising but soaks in quickly. Also cheap.

Loccitaine here. Hard to climb back from the Clarins habit so I ask for it for birthday etc. Nivea q10 also good.

Another thumbs up for L'Occitane in the metal tube!

Try changing your hand wash of you use antibacterial ones. I've been suffering with dry hands for months and no hand creams helped. I switched my hand wash to Dr Bronner and 2 days later my hands were lovely and soft. Haven't been dry since.

Yy to loccitaine but also try Lidl cien intensive - it’s excellent for seriously dry hands and I use it under my marigolds when I’m washing up

Another vote for Neutrogena Norwegian Formula. I had really dry hands a month ago, despite daily moisturising with other creams. Two days of using this and my hands were amazingly soft. It sinks in nicely too and you can get it in unscented.

Anything with Shea Butter is great. I love L'Occitane and Oliver Bonas. Hand Chemistry is also good. I also recommend using a derma roller on hands and a once a week glycolic acid treatment.

Body Shop Hemp but it does smell weird. I only use it last thing at night.

I did a handcream trial once and for a treatment type I found that the boots one , can't remember the name but it's the one from their aging skin range.I put it on before bed and let it do its stuff from, it was too heavy for day. For day I like Norwegian formula that's best for daytime.I do love the smell of L'occitane but it's no better but way pricier
