Love to try a new product!

Murad AHA hand cream is very good.  Someone gave me this as a gift with some other Murad products.

I just Googled the ingredients for Lotil Hand Cream.  The glycerin is great, the alcohols not great (they dry skin out!).  I'll stick with my 100% African Shea Butter for healing my cracked hands when they crack.

Lotil:

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glyceryl Stearate SE, Glycerin, Lanolin Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Oleic Acid, Triethanolamine,Stearic Acid, p-Choloro-m-Cresol, Parfum (Fragrance).

Lately I am using Gold Bond, it has a nice size for your handbag. At home I use Curel products on my super dry winter psoriasis prone skin. The latest Curel, Anti-Itch, works well. Also, if you are not allergic to it, I have used Neosporin with Pain Relief Cream on cracked spots around cuticles and fingertips. Nice to have some relief! I am diligent about applications and also depend on Solar oil and Argan Oil.

I haven't read all the replies, so please excuse me if this had already been suggested.  This biggest difference in my skin not becoming dry was when I stopped using soaps with SLS (sodium laurel/laureth sulfate). SLS strips the natural oils from the skin.  Alaffia makes a relatively inexpensive non-SLS soap/body wash if you are interested.

Worth every penny.

The thing with hand cream is you have to use it every day.....before your hands are like sandpaper.

I should practice what I preach, but I have found the L'Occitane to be the best for me.

You probably won't get his suggestion .....BAG BALM - originally created for cow's udders!   Google it - it's on Amazon,  drug stores and zillions of other places.

Agree 100%!

To me, it is the right balance between 'it works' and 'it's not greasy'. 

In my experience, most hand creams if they work they are greasy, if they aren't greasy they don't really work. 

Best hand cream on the planet!

@Pearlee it really did work for me!  I picked up that tip from posters on the beauty board and cannot believe what a difference it has made in my skin and fingernails (no longer split and peel). Remember--most shampoos also have SLS in them, as well as most soaps. Good luck, I hope it works for you, too!
