Aside from the results, there’s no denying that the playful shape of the bottle and Chanel logo adds a little excitement to an otherwise routine application. On top of being a great skincare product, it acts as a bit of a self-care treat as well. While the 1.7 ounce bottle is quite small, a little truly goes a long way. One dime-sized amount can cover both hands sufficiently, and it kept our hands feeling hydrated for hours.
It does come with a bit of a scent, which might be a deal-breaker for you. However, it’s mild enough to not cause any irritation.Scented hand creams can act as a subtle and sweet midday treat to your nose, particularly if the aroma is known for therapeutic properties, like the lavender in the Jergens Lavender Body Butter Body and Hand Lotion. 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).
Ceramides are another key element to fortify the skin barrier. 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. Infused with rich natural Vanilla, this sweet and creamy classic will have you reminiscent of afternoons with an ice-cream cone in hand. We also added Vitamin-E and Shea Butter for a super rich, creamy skin conditioner feel.Dr. Wolinsky chimes in that “every time you wash your hands, you should apply hand cream to restore the skin barrier, particularly since when the skin is damp, moisturizers will be absorbed better.”
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. Lip Glace — Labadi: Ingredients/Ingrédients: Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Octyldodecanol, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Microcrystalline Wax, Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Menthone Glycerin Acetal, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Butter, Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate , Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Vanillin, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Silica, Tribehenin, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Wax, Sorbitan Isostearate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Portulaca Pilosa Extract, Tin Oxide, Sucrose Cocoate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 [+/- Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)], Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499)]. While body lotions work with the natural oils our bodies already create, hand lotions need to provide that moisture. Board certified dermatologist Dr. Kseniya Kobets who practices in Westchester County, New York, explains that while our bodies produce natural sebum to protect our skin from dehydration, “the palms of our hands and soles of our feet are the only places on our body that do not have sebaceous glands." There’s no overbearing scent either — just an incredible boost of healing moisture and much-needed relief, both physically and visually. However, to get the most out of this nutrient-dense cream, you have to let it settle into skin fully to avoid transferring any grease.What We Love: Daily use of this hand cream not only healed our current flare-up, but also prevented future ones from appearing, despite our cold climate. Just as when buying a day or night face cream, when shopping for the best hand creams, it’s important to pay close attention to the various ingredients in each product. You’ll notice that many of the mentioned products contain shea butter, which is useful as it's a natural ingredient rich in fatty acids and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, explains Dr. LoGerfo. “Shea butter has the ability to eliminate superficial irritation and redness. Vitamin F, which is found in shea butter, can also improve the skin barrier to moisturize, and heal the dermis.” This nutty ingredient can be found in the L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Hand Cream, Benton Shea Butter and Olive Hand Cream, and Jergens Lavender Body Butter Body and Hand Lotion. What We Love: This gentle, fragrance-free cream is fantastic for those with sensitive skin or noses.
The brand leans on the powers of cupuaçu butter (which is rich in essential nourishing fatty acids) and selenium, which is a Brazilian nut that supports your skin's natural ability to protect itself, to instantly soften the skin. It does come with a mild vanilla and coconut fragrance, which can be polarizing. What We Love: The value of this generously-sized bottle is unmatched, giving you tons of cream for a wallet-friendly price. 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.

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. What We Don’t Love: It does not keep your hands feeling moisturized for as long as some of the other options on this list. 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. However, many may want to opt for creams without any added fragrance, just for the sake of avoiding potential irritants. The Grown Alchemist Hand Cream Vanilla Orange Peel, for example, smells naturally fresh, courtesy of the orange peel extract, while the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Touch Hand Cream leans on the cupuaçu butter to produce a mild vanilla-like aroma. What We Love: The lightweight consistency spreads like a dream and nourishes itchy dry patches with ease.
