I'm in a cold, dry area right now, and between lots of hand-washing, and callouses forming from lifting, my hands are a WRECK. I feel like I've tried everything to moisturize, but the skin is so dry it's cracking as I bend my fingers to type. What is the BEST hand creme you have found?

Man that sounds painful...I really have nothing else to offer here. Good luck!0

This is going to sound like I'm advertising, but I'm not. Gold Bond Ultimate Healing lotion is actually good for the whole body. If you happen to be diabetic, they just came up with a formula for that, too.0

Wear weight gloves.
And get a great cream - the kind in a tub, not the kind with a spout.0 -
cerave cream the one in the tub
you can mix that with shea & cocoa butter too but cerave cream should really help on its own0 -
My boyfriend has bad hands like that and he uses Working Hands and loves it. Also sometimes he will put Vaseline on his hands before bed.0

Jergens is my favorite.0

The cream from occitane is amazing. They have one for dry skin and it's crazy good.
Elizabeth Arden has a great hand cream too. I got it in my toilet bag on a flight ages ago.0 -
I LOVE my Lubriderm Daily Moisture. My hands were always bad esp in the winter from bartending and washing glasses and that's what works wonders for me..0

Coconut Oil is the sexiest, but side from that "GLYSOMED" is fukin clutch.0

Thank you all. I've tried a few of these...hoof moisturizer...hmmmm? I'll have to see where I can find such thing!
I do wear weight gloves, and file down calluses when I can, but my skin is VERY sensitive (I have a few autoimmune diseases that are harsh on my skin) so even the friction of the gloves can cause irritation, and when my hands are cracking, I can't do much to file down calluses. It's just terribly dry here lately, and our dry office isn't helping much. Factor in tons of hand washing (medical center) and it's a recipe for disaster on my hands! I googled the "working hands" and it looks like I can find it at Home Depot. Gotta get some houseware stuff there today, so I'll be sure to look. Thanks again everyone!0 -
Whatever the stuff was that Buffalo Bill used.....0

Slather your hands with coconut oil (liberally), wrap lightly in plastic wrap, put on mittens (you may need assistance - haha), and wear overnight. Works on rough, cracked feet too.0

Believe it or not, A&D ointment (for baby bottoms) is the best thing I have found for my hands and chapped lips. It goes a long way and is very affordable.0

I just use Desitin. Especially after my Mother had a rough patch, that even a prescribed cream; couldn't cure. The Desitin, did it. I even notice this, when taking pain medications. Advil worked better, than anything prescribed.0

My daughter has severe eczema and her skin was very sensitive. The dermatologist gave us a cortizone cream and told us to use Vaseline. Twenty years later, she still uses Vaseline but also shea butter.0

100% shea butter can be very helpful0
