It does its best work in heavy-duty creams, like the EltaMD So Silky Hand Crème, says New York City-based board certified dermatologist Dr. Claire Wolinsky. She adds that other ingredients, including petrolatum "helps reduce water loss, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid are all great moisturizing ingredients." Petrolatum can be found in the Vichy Ultra-Nourishing Hand Cream and Jergens Lavender Body Butter Body and Hand Lotion, while glycerin is found in the Fenty Skin Hydra'Reset Intensive Recovery Glycerin Hand Mask.

Generally speaking, Dr. Wolinsky advises those with sensitive skin or noses to reach for fragrance-free options entirely, like the Skinfix Hand Repair Cream. The frequency with which you should apply hand cream is determined by how good your skin barrier function is,” explains Dr. Kobets. If your hands look and feel dry, you have eczema, or are in a profession that is very hands-on (literally), then she recommends moisturizing at least two to three times a day.

There’s nothing more annoying than slathering a rich lotion all over your hands just to smear it all over your keyboard, screen or phone. With the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Touch Hand Cream, we found that the non-greasy texture disappears into the dermis so fast, it was easy to forget we even put it on. The light formula glided over our skin like butter and wasted no time diving deep into the surface to work its magic. Without ever leaving so much as a shine, the formula looks and feels nearly invisible — the only change was a boost of hydration directly to our hands. What We Love: The value of this generously-sized bottle is unmatched, giving you tons of cream for a wallet-friendly price. For some intensive repair, the Fenty Skin Hand Mask (not to be confused with hand cream) sinks deeply into the skin for longer-lasting hydration, making it a great choice for the dry winter season. With the help of panthenol, glycerin and murumuru and mango butters, this rich formula deeply conditions the skin. It feels so decadent that we recommend applying it right before bed for maximum penetration.

HERO INGREDIENTS

This option isn’t a heavy-duty cream for serious cases of dry skin, but rather, it’s an excellent everyday, preventative lotion, and you may find yourself needing to reapply a few times each day.

What We Don’t Love: There is a mild scent, which didn’t bother us, but may be a factor to consider for others. What We Love: A little bit of this dense cream goes a long way and just one application offers enough moisture to last all day. The blend of shea butter, coconut oil, and honey work hand in hand (pun intended) to hydrate skin, leaving a luxuriously soft texture behind. After a few uses, we could visibly see the dry patches between our fingers slowly start to heal and the white, flaky skin on top of our hands disappear.One of our editors, who is also a new mom and washes her hands frequently throughout the day, said that this cream left her skin feeling extremely smooth and soft (not unlike newborn baby skin). Even better, our eczema-riddled hands didn’t sting or burn with this cream, as it often can with other medicated lotions. Instead, it provided immediate relief that lasted for hours, even after washing our hands.
