I love this hand cream! It's wonderful at healing dry skin. I tried the Oatmeal version as well, which I didn't like as much. This is the best hand cream. It's cheap, and you only use a tiny dab, so it lasts me at least six months!

My daughter's Pre-K teacher's hands were literally cracked and bleeding. I gave her a tube of the new re-vamped formula for extra-dry skin, and in a few days her hands are super-soft and healed! Even I was amazed at how quickly and effectively it worked, and the new formula smells nicer than the original. The mini-tubes are only 99 cents, you can't beat that!

Good heavy duty hand cream. Very similar to Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula. Takes a little while to sink in. Pleasant fragrance that dissappates quickly. Took off 1 lippie because I'd prefer a flip cap & because I don't love it enough to pay full price.

This product is a miracle! I feel like I have to write a review for this because it is such a great product. My grandma had hands that were so extremely dry that the had deep, painful, bleeding cracks in them. This did the trick and made her hands so much better. Now she still gets cracks sometimes, but it's probably because she doesn't use enough. The price is really fair, about $4.00 for the largest size.

I can't believe this product didn't get an overall better review. I don't usually use a lot of lotions or creams, but I used this because my mom had it around, and I absolutely loved it. I rubbed it all over my arms, legs, hands, and feet. I pile a lot of it on, and it takes a couple minutes to absorb into the skin. For the rest of the day my skin is so incredibly soft, I find that I can't stop rubbing and feeling my skin! It makes me so amazingly soft, the day after I discovered it I ran around telling everyone to feel my skin! I even noticed that if I rub it on my legs every day it seems to minimize the hair and makes me have to shave less often.

I bought this for my husband since he always has dry calloused hands. He will only use it at night since it's too greasy for him to use while he's at work. Waste of money on my part.

I ♥ this hand cream. I find that a little goes a long way and it cured my dry hands. I think this has a simlar texture as Neutrogena's hand cream but worked much better.

The quality of this cream is excellent... Only a tiny bit coats and moisturizes my hands for hours. This is ultra emollient without the grease and heaviness of other hand creams [Especially Burt's Bees...] which is SO important for me. I usually avoid applying my other creams simply because it's just not practical to have greasy, slippery hands at any specific time throughout the day! This sinks in immediately and forms a protective barrier against water making it especially beneficial before / after washing dishes and the like... It immediately restores the life and glow to my hands. I will be phasing out my Burt's Bees and keeping this around, most definitely.

This is one of my staples. I always have dry hand, it seems. When I have this tube in stock, my hands are much healthier. It is dirt cheap and lasts and lasts. I believe this has a high glycerin content, which is a very good thing. It is better than most hand lotions I have tried...and this is saying a lot. I have tried numerous hand creams. Most don't cut it.

I love this stuff. I usually buy it when it is in the seasonal packaging because it can sold for dirt cheap from .79 to .99 for the smaller tube which I find very convenient in size. I carry one in my purse, leave one at the desk, and have one in my car. M

I like this hand cream a lot. It may take some time to absorb, but once it has been absorbed into your hands, it keeps your hands soft even after washing. Pretty amazing... It comes in a decent size tube which lasts long time b/c you only need to use little. Packaging looks cheap, but it's very functional. You can squeeze most of the cream out of the tube.

Niiiice stuff. My hands get so chapped and raw in the winter, but this lotion makes them feel 10x better. It's thick and sticky and does take a while to sink in but it's nothing horrid, and it's so worth it. Also it has that lovely Avon label... and price tag. If you get it from a local dealer, anyway.

I work in healthcare, so I wash my hands about 50 times a night at least 3 times a week. My hands are always scaly and dry with small nicks from drying them with paper towels all the time. this cream is very heavy, but a little goes a long way to helping my abused hands feel soothingly soft . Considering how much I wash my hands, a tube will last me for a little over a month. I also apply some before going to bed. Compared to $15 a tube of Barielle cream, this is really good stuff.

After an extremely long winter my hands became chapped by the cold. Fed up with my dry and peely hands I decided to try this product.Within two days my hands were smooth and healthy again. Highly reccomend.

Got this in a christmas gift a few months back, and I didn't really try it until my normal hand cream (Earth Therapeutics Gardener's Hand Repair) started to irritate my chapped winter hands. This formula is very simple, thick, and effective. It's great to slather on at night before bed, then wake up with soft hands instead of the scaly mess I went to sleep with.The scent is powdery- not my favorite - but it works so well and so cheaply I don't care.

I've tried this on my hands, and it works fine, but I actually find that this hand cream works even better on my feet! I put it on before bedtime, put on some cotton socks...and my feet are sooo soft!

The best way to buy this is in the season version because they are usually only .99 each or so and they are so cute and easy to carry in a purse. I like to use a little of the Moisture Therapy (not too much or it gets too sticky and overwhelming) and mix it (in my hand) with a larger amount of another cheapie hand cream. That works really great! I find that if I do that, the Moisture Therapy boosts the moisturizing power of the other hand cream and makes it thicker and more luxurious. I usually mix the M.T. with Suave vanilla hand and body cream or with Avon's Moisture Therapy with Oatmeal.

Great hand cream for the price. It's a bit sticky in texture when you first apply it but in about a minute it sinks in and my hands have a powdery feel. Great when you're working with files like I do - it doesn't leave finger/hand prints like other lotions.

I use this hand cream every night before bed. It does a great job of moisturizing for me. It is a little heavy for day time use. It does seem to stay on after one or two hand washings.

Got this in a Valentine's GWP and I'm still undecided. It seems to moisturize as well as any other hand cream I've used, but seems a bit heavier.



It sort of sits on top of my skin for a bit instead of completely sinking in, so I'm not sure if I would purchase this had it not been free. It reminds me a little of cold cream, lol.



However, the scent is nice and I will use up what I've got. I'd say if you can try this before buying though, you should.
