Help! Need a good hand lotion that goes in and doesn't leave a residue!

ECBG — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 22:05:53 GMT

Having been on Accutane for cystic acne I am always ultra dry. The skin on my hands actully hurts. What lotion can I use and won't leave a residue to get on jewelry and dark fabrics?

Thanks

I loved being on Accutane! My skin never looked so great being on it! Good luck with it. I had a few courses to get rid of my cystic acne.

Why not ask your MD who, I presume prescribed Accutane & is a derm? They would have the best advise.

I've used just about every OTC body/hand lotion, high & low price. Now I'm using Aveeno for eczema. It doesn't leave a film on your skin and is ok.

Don't buy Eucerin Daily Protection moisturizing body lotion!!! It is horrible! It leaves a horrible film on your skin. Feels greasy, creepy. L'occitane, while highly rated @ QVC, is not so great. Surgeons' hand lotion, leaves a waxy film on your hands. Basically one of those hand lotions that uses wax to cover/protect your skin.

Cetaphil is always recommended by derms & is ok.

Good luck.

Hemp Hand Protector by The Body Shop. ULTA has testers of this and other hand creams and lotions you can test before you buy.

Soap & Glory Hand Food may work for you, Sephora has testers.

Applying shea butter or Vaseline at night and covering with cotton gloves or socks helps a lot. Burt's Bees Hand Salve, Beeswax and Banana Hand Cream, or Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream are all good. Another brand I use is J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve.

Try Perlier's Honey Meil. I love the imperial honey as well. It helps heal the hands and is non greasy. HSN

This is my favorite. I work in health care and wash my hands constantly. I love the texture. It's protective yet not greasy and leaves my hands so soft with a nice texture. Is $5.49 and a tube lasts a long time.

Pacifica hand cream, it has become my favorite, especially the Tuscan Orange. Unlike any other hand cream I've tried. Makes my hands feel silky soft, not oily, greasy or sticky.

On sale @ Ulta.com

Carmex is great. I bought it at cvs. No residue.

I've been using Josie Marans Hand Cream. It doesn't leave any greasy residue on me + it works well for me.

One of my favorites is the Visibly Fit lotion from Mary Kay. You will love it. It moisturizes but leaves no residue or greasy which I don't like at all. If it has a fragrance it is very faint if I don't smell it which is I smell things if there is a smell at all.

Have you thought of adding a drop or two of oil to your moisturizer?

Ditto!

I found a tube of this that I never used/tried a week ago. This does sink right in for me. I went on ebay today and found a large tube for under $30 and no shipping. I think it came to 5.86 an ounce.

I like a Gold Bond in the pump--not an official "hand cream", but a body lotion. I also use Kiehls Creme de Coros. And just bought Deborah Lippman's Rich Girl. Jury's still out on this one for me. Still testing.

I just bought Curel Daily Moisture lotion and I really like it. Not sticky or tacky and no lingering scent.

I love the hand cream from Dr. Jonathan's Lotion Co. I get it at berryworks.com. It is currently sold in an 8 oz jar but just got an e-mail from Michelle saying they are in the process of also offering a 5 oz tube.

Great stuff as are all Dr. Jonathan's products.

My fave is Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream - a tried and true hand cream that works and doesn't have a strong smell. My husband and dad even like it.

When I was doing a lot of quilting, the fabric was drying my skin, but you don't want to leave grease on the fabric. Enter Udder Balm! Originally used by dairy farmers to soften chapped udders, it's been used by us humans for years and years. It's available at big box stores in the lotion aisle. Very inexpensive, yet surprisingly effective.

I second this!! I'm a dental hygienist and hand wash multiple times per hour. Plus, latex gloves can not only cause allergic potential, but dry out your skin. I love that this makes my hands stay normal.

I also love a hand cream called Glove 'n' Care made by Essential Dental Solutions. It is made to stay on your hands through several hand washes, but without a lingering film. You can find it on Amazon.

I have had really dry skin on my hands the last couple weeks, and have tried most of the suggestions already given. My hands were so bad that I had cracks on my knuckles and most of the lotions actually stung ( the eucerin hand cream was the worst). I stopped at Walgreens on Friday and picked up O'Keeffes Working Hands, I've used it four times, my hands are already about 90% better. It might be worth a try. Good luck!

We have tried many, this is the best by far!

Another rave for the Josie Maran Hand Cream (just posted a glowing review).

If my hands are really suffering, I will add in a dab of the Neutrogena Hand Cream (pictured above). But definitely get the fragrance-free Neutrogena. It can turn any hand cream into a holy grail product.
