OKeeffes Working Hands Hand Cream, 3 oz, Tube

I work with paper all day in dry air and this doesnt help at all. Ive switched to Hemp. Will not be buying again

This COVID thing had my hands extremely cracked and sore from all the long, frequent hand washing. They were actually starting to bleed. It was awful! I was using moisturizer, but you wouldn’t have known by looking at (or feeling) my hands. My son-in-law is a letter carrier, and he said that Working Hands is the only thing that keeps his hands from splitting, especially after being exposed all day in cold weather (he can’t rifle through and pick up the letters with gloves on). I am truly impressed at the difference this hand cream has made. I’m not a fan of the fragrance, but I love everything else about it. Now that I’ve got the skin on my hands back to normal, I am using this at night before bed to keep them soft, and using my regular (nice smelling) hand lotion periodically during the day.

This is the absolute best lotion; quickest and most effective moisturizer I’ve ever tried for skin repair and I am so grateful I found it. I work with animals and am often sanitizing things with Rescue Disinfectant (Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide). I use gloves the majority of the time, but if even just a small amount gets on my hands (especially if it’s the concentrated solution before being diluted), my hands will often look visibly dry within a couple hours. Combine that with the frequent hand washing/sanitizing that was already involved when working with multiple animals AND then also Covid... my hands would be painfully dry and my knuckles would crack and bleed and there was never a lotion that could keep up and add enough moisture back to my hands before I’d have to wash or sanitize again. I also have dermatillomania and often pick at the skin around my fingers especially when my hands are dry and cracking which obviously makes things even worse and far more difficult to heal and the vicious cycle continues. Goes on a bit thick and sticky feeling at first, but quickly absorbs into skin and doesn’t leave an obvious lotion grease/feeling that I find really uncomfortable. If things are really bad, I’ll apply 3-4 times spaced out every 15-30 minutes. Regardless of how destroyed my hands are, I notice a difference within just an hour or so and my hands dramatically improve overnight if I apply a bunch to my hands just before I go to sleep (especially if using the specific night treatment). They’re never 100% by the next morning unless my hands were only mildly dry the night before, but even at their absolute worst, they’re usually at least 75-85% healed and moisturized.

Product is great, thought the tube would be better for dispensing but both of my tube broke when squeezing product out, sticking to original tin.

My hands were peeling. Used this lotion a few times. Peeling stopped. Gold Bond and Aveeno didn’t help, but this brand did.

I have bought this for years because it’s basically a flawless product.

It’s amazing

This hand cream was strongly recommended by my dermatologist to help combat dry, cracking nails. I have used it for over a month. I noticed some change but continue to find the splitting nails to be a problem. My hands do seem to remain moist and soft. It has no noticeable scent, is not sticky and spreads easily. Perhaps longer use will help to combat the splitting nails.

Good cream, but I had to use it daily for several days before seeing a difference.

After seeing the ads for this hand lotion, we decided to give it a try. My wife seems to like it, but I was less impressed. It didnt seem to moisturize as deeply as other brands (Gold Bond, etc), and it was tacky as it dried. However, if Im someone who is working and need to pick up or hold onto things as part of my job, this non-slippery aspect of it would be a bonus as you wouldnt have to worry about dropping things or not being able to maintain a grip on tools, parts, etc.
