O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream for Extreme Dryness - 3.4 oz Jar (1 Pack) - Repairing Skincare for Cracked, Dry Hands

This stuff really works! After just a couple of uses, my hands felt smoother and the cracks started healing. It’s not greasy, absorbs quickly, and a little goes a long way. I’ve repurchased it twice already—definitely a must-have if you deal with dry hands regularly.

This cream is not in a pretty container, nor does it smell pretty- unscented. But it really does the job exceptionally well. I recently moved to New Mexico from Texas, going from high humidity to the desert. I had cracking hands and feet, very uncomfortable, as well as patches of eczema on my ankels and legs. eliminated those extra dry patches and healed up my skin. I use it every other day to maintain, or to hit up dry patches. I'll be honest, it leaves a sticky, somewhat unpleasant residue. I put it on my feet and hands right before bed so I'm sleeping and it doesn't bother me. I still have all my beautiful B&BW products, but to me, this stuff is medicine and works fast! I always keep this around now.

This hand cream works! My hands couldn’t stay moisturized in the dry winter air. It seemed to only get worse after being on IV fluids after a surgery I had to have unexpectedly. I would put on lotion after lotion moisturizing sprays anything you could think of; also, the amount of fluids I drank didn’t seem to make a dent into the dryness that seemed to be ever worsening.My loves about this product:1) the jar was designed to be opened easily, even if your hands were when it slippery, there is a rubber grip running around the whole circumference of the lid! The rubber grip has for indentations all over it to further help with your grip.2) their is no scent! This is wonderful as it means I can use it and I can share it with a guy without them smelling like they just came from some floral festival under the midnight moon. So guys, this won’t revoke your masculin image (Er scent). Also for those with allergies to scents and perfumes *raises hand excitedly* I don’t have any issues with this because it’s again not bearing some overtly perfumes scent. (Which also means it won’t fight against a perfume should you choose to wear one).3) it works fast- I went from needing lotion about 4-5 times a day because my skin on my hands was dry, cracked and honestly had a white powder look to it to needing this at first twice a day (well honestly I put it on the second time just because I enjoyed how much better my hands felt and I didn’t want to feel miserable again). To needing it 1 time a day (heck I even forget to put it on sometimes but I remember the next day when my hands start feeling a bit dryer). This stuff WORKS!4) a little goes a long way- remember you can always use more if you need it.5) I have put it on and then washed my hands and didn’t feel like I needed to reapply or feel like my hands weren’t clean.6) my hands got softer looking and younger (because you know dry skin makes your skin look older). It’s not going to remove the callouses from labored hands but it will make the tops of your hands enjoyable again. My brother uses this stuff and he loves it as well!I originally wanted a pump and not the jar but the pump version was going to take longer to get here so I settled with the jar. I’m glad I did, especially since I can carry it in my purse if needed (although maybe they make a smaller one if not O’Keeffe’s there’s a packaging idea for you)I say give it a try. If you put on too much it may feel a little tacky (I just spread it up my arms or on my knees when this happens when I first started using it). But if you use the right amount it’s just soft bliss that for me has removed the painful dry hands that looked as though they belonged to someone 40 years older than me.

This hand cream is not a cute-sy cream that looks aesthetically pleasing on your nightstand. But, it is the absolute BEST hand cream for very dry hands! I have been through multiple jars of this as it literally saves my hands every Winter. I use it year round but Winter especially is hard on my skin. There is no scent and is absorbs quickly. I notice a difference in the appearance and texture of my hands after just one use! Truly cannot be without this hand cream!

I had higher hopes for this. A month later I still have cracked skin. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Feels good on the skin, no greasy oily after feel. Just isn't working for me.

I really like Working Hands for when you need a hand cream that can heal really messed up hands.I am often dealing with cracking (especially in winter), paper cuts, and general abrasions from playing with my rabbits. Given how many nerve endings there are in that area, even minor skin abrasions or cracks are outright uncomfortable. I've used a lot of hand creams but this is probably the best product I have used overall.The speed in which your hands can repair themselves one you use this cream is impressive. It gives almost immediate moisture and makes uncomfortable cracking much less unpleasant. Within a few hours, you can tell the speed in which skin is healing is faster than if you did not put this on. If you put this on and go to bed, by the time you wake up you can see a really noticeable improvement.As no product is perfect, there are a few downsides. The biggest is price, which isn't that big of a deal given the cream works so well, plus how a small amount of this goes a long way. Another downside is that there are no large quantity value packs you get for these. At the performance end, you will likely find this product to be a little greasy, and it is a pretty strong eye irritant. And this product does tend to leave somewhat of a residue...which at least from my experience is generally going to happen with the creams made to deliver some serious skin rehab. With all that said, all of the downsides are minimal when taking into account the product effectiveness.One way I have found to make this product work even better is to wear a pair of light cotton gloves overnight as you sleep immediately after you apply this stuff. It seems to help speed the healing process and keep moisture in.One more thing I have noticed is that Working Hands works MUCH better if you SERIOUSLY work this product into skin. Rubbing it in to the area you want to apply it to super well and working the cream into skin seems to make it work more effectively. And at least from my usage, I do not think this clogs pores either.Ultimately, Working Hands is a great product for healing skin damage on a level that your standard moisturizer just can't cut. While not cheap, the results are excellent.

Love this stuff. No scent, does the job and leaves a nice waxy feeling on the hands.
