What is your very favourite hand cream?

[rosettesforjill]

I'm looking for something for my horrible dry winter hands, made worse by all the hand washing. Bonus points if it also smells gorgeous (no particular skin sensitivity)! I don't mind spending a bit if it actually works

Another vote for Garnier Intensive 7 Days - works really well and lasts through a couple of washes.

Thanks so much for all the tips! I am trying out the Shay and Blue one recommended by @Eaumyword (and am delighted with it! Lovely and light and WORKS), but will keep referring back to this thread for future purchases

The green Aesop one is my favourite. Smells amazing. I usually have a tube on my desk or bag as it’s a great pick me up in a boring meeting.

I'm currently using soap and glory hand good , smells gorgeous and works.

Rituals hand balm (different fragrances), Neutrogena Norwegianm BodyShop hemp

For me it’s Norwegian hand cream (neutrogena), o’keefe working hands Cream. I also love astral as a great intensive all rounder

Another vote for aveeno, the skin relief cream (not the hand cream) is amazing for my hands that would be cracked usually

For "my hands are fucked" neutrogena Norwegian formula slathered on at night
Otherwise caudalie https://www.allbeauty.com/gb/en/1180363-caudalie-body-hand-and-nail-cream-75ml as it's not greasy

The best one for my knackered nurse hands is the body shop hemp. Doesn’t smell great but is fantastic.

The best smelling one I’ve had was by neom. It was amazing but not as effective as the hemp

@Megan2018

L’occitane Shea butter or Body Shop Hemp

I concur

I used to use an Aesop hand lotion which is very good (as pointed out by someone else - horrendously expensive) DP got me a Jurlique one for my birthday which I adore and isn’t nearly as expensive. Recommend either!

The best one you will ever use is Margaret Dabbs hand serum. Expensive but wow you see a visible difference. Other than that the Clarins one is also lovely.

Beauty Pie Retinol hand cream very good and also Hand Chemistry, or O’Keefes Working Hands for soothing

Another vote for clarins

I love the blue L'occitaine one, but its very expensive. I'm happy with the cien sos one for everyday.

L'occitane Shea butter. I always buy this one as it doesn't have a strong smell though all their hand creams are great.

@amusedtodeath1

O'Keeffe's hand cream, doesn't look fancy but it's really good.

@amusedtodeath1 Another O'Keefes fan here! My hands were all cracked and dry to the point they bled! Somebody recommended O'Keefes and I was initially reluctant due to the price... fast forward and I now own more tubes of the stuff then you could imagine. 😂

I buy from a company based in Cumbria called Bath House. The dermatitis on my knuckles has gone since I started using their replenishing hand cream every night. Lovely fragrances and I like buying from a smaller business 🙂
