It’s cold and dry. What’s the best to heal up dry, cracking hands in this winter wonderland?
Best Hand Lotion/Cream

CeraVe. If you're a bit more spendy, Avène Cicalfate+.

CeraVe is the one that a lot of dermatologists recommend. Don't laugh, but I actually prefer Vaseline (brand) lotions. Specifically, the Nourishing Moisture lotion. It moisturizes and softens my skin so well and doesn't leave me feeling greasy.

After applying whatever cream or lotion you choose, wearing light white cotton gloves will hold the moisture in place. This is particularly helpful before bed.
If you try your cream both with or without subsequently wearing gloves while you sleep you will see the difference the next morning.

R3 do the same thing for my feet. The ankle socks worn overnight take the treatment to the next level. Was skeptical, but it really does work.

Hand masks really work. Let the serum sink in for 15-20 minutes and then put on a hand cream.

I like Eucerin Skin Calming Lotion in the big tube with the red cap. It's not greasy and if you use it several times a day it really makes a difference. At least it does for me. I also use it on my face.

I use super cheap Eastern European 25-30% Urea cream on my feet. Then socks. Works wonders. The Cicalfate+ is specifically a repair cream. You put it on after little cosmetic surgeries, and put it on scabs, and burn after they have sealed. It really helps repair damage. So it wouldn't be a daily handcream all winter but it would totally help cracked skin.
I agree that vaseline is good daily hand cream.

CVS Laboring Hands hand cream. I use it year-round. I wash my hands about 50 times a day when at work. Aquaphor lotion for dry ankles and lower legs in winter.

LavRoche-Posay Cicaplast hands

The skin on my knuckles often cracks during the winter months because of how dry it is. I've managed to avoid that this season by putting a generous amount of Aquaphor on my hands at night. My hands are still dry and kind of rough, but at least I don't have to deal with the pain of split skin.

Liquid Gloves on top of Kiehl’s nurturing baby cream

my legs get the CeraVe SA that comes in tubs. Also sometimes just cheap Spanish or Polish Urea creams. Urea has to be at least 10% do do anything. 15 is good. 30 only on tough skin like feet.

I’ve used Kiehl’s for years but I’ve recently discovered Topicrem from a french colleague. It’s great but not available everywhere but Amazon has it.

I get really dry skin in the winter, and my hands take a beating. Eucerin's "Original Healing Cream" does wonders (the cream, not the lotion). It's mostly mineral oil and petrolatum. Very thick, but it will heal dry skin. If you want something fancy/expensive, L'Occitane's pure shea butter is great (not just for the hands either)—they also have a shea-butter based hand cream that comes in a metal tube. Kiehl's hand salve is also effective and smells really nice, though I frankly think it's much more a lotion than a salve.
