Soap and Glory ,Garnier, Aveeno my ones of choice, and I have very dry skin.

Curlywhirly Thu 18-Nov-21 08:05:06

Atrixo. Have tried lots of others, but still find Atrixo to be the best.

I'm also a fan of Soap & Glory it has a beautiful smell and works well.

I use O’Keeffe’s working hands because come winter my skin splits around the nails. My son has the same condition this cream does really alleviate the problem.

This is very good often on offer elsewhere

Another for O’Keefe. I buy the one for feet too. Excellent results. Boots sell this product.

I love Body Shop hand cream, especially almond. It's about £12 (which I think is expensive)

mumofmadboys Thu 18-Nov-21 09:16:43

I like Atrixo and Aveeno. I think very frequent application works best .

Lizzie Arden 8 Hour hand cream or Vaseline Intensive Care which is cheap, cheerful, and works.

I like the Norwegian Formula stuff (forget who makes it), quick to absorb and really helps my dry hands. Not expensive, I get it from Tesco.

I like this one. It's a lovely texture and you only need a small amount.

DiscoGran Thu 18-Nov-21 09:48:23

I like Neutrogena Norwegian formula too. Inexpensive, effective and lasts ages. Also comes in unscented which I prefer. Everything seems way too perfumed to me these days, apart from perfume, funnily enough, which doesn't seem to last as long as it used to. ?

I use L’occitane Shea butter hand cream in the winter months. It’s very good for dry skin. It’s about £22 but you don’t need a lot and I’m just coming to the end of the one I used last winter.

I love Aveeno lotion. Use it for everything!

Auntieflo Thu 18-Nov-21 10:13:25

Gardeners Honey hand cream is good , I have used it for years now.
Aldi are selling a Hemp one, but I haven't tried that, yet.

maddyone Thu 18-Nov-21 10:20:45

Aveeno isn’t expensive and is very good. There are lots of inexpensive but good hand creams available. I use hand cream every time I wash my hands. Current ones in use are Neals Yard and Dove, one upstairs and one downstairs.

Auntieflo Thu 18-Nov-21 10:22:56

I was going to say that for many years I used Boots Glymiel Jelly. (I think that's the correct name)
It was in a glass jar, and wonderful, then it just completely disappeared. In my last post, I couldn't remember it's name, then it popped up. Does anyone else remember it?

Lilydrop Thu 18-Nov-21 11:13:20

Yes Auntieflo i use to use it it had a lovely lemony smell and I like stuff like thats in glass jars. Thanks everyone.

Fleur20 Thu 18-Nov-21 11:51:09

Nivea q10 is really good.. on offer in boots at the moment.

Georgesgran Thu 18-Nov-21 12:34:55

QCV have 3 super sized tubes of L’occitane Shea Butter hand cream on offer for £45 at the moment.
I’ve just ordered it and there’s the opportunity to pay in 3 installments. For any reason, even if you’ve used some - you can send it back for a full refund if you don’t like it.
Hope Grandmadinosaur reads this as she uses it, but paying over the odds for it.

Georgesgran Thu 18-Nov-21 12:36:23

QCV?? QVC of course!

Rosalyn69 Thu 18-Nov-21 13:28:29

I use Aesop hand lotion. It’s expensive but a large pump dispenser lasts for ages and you don’t need a lot.

E45?

I agree, in fact it was recommended to me by a Scandinavian dermatologist.

NanaandGrampy Thu 18-Nov-21 13:58:45

I swear by the Clarins hand cream, at £23 for a large tube that lasts me almost a year as a little goes along way , it also prevents age spots etc .
