Anyone recommend some good hand lotion?

Aveeno.

After experimenting with literally dozens of brands, the best I've found is Curel. It absorbs quickly, so it's not so greasy that you feel like you can't touch anything for 10 minutes. On the other side, the moisturizing also lasts long enough so you don't have to keep reapplying. I keep a bottle in my bathroom and use it right after I wash my hands, but that's usually all I need. And I've gotten compliments.

If you need something stronger, try Neutrogena Hand Cream, but use sparingly, not as your primary lotion. I haven't needed this since I lived in upstate NY with hard water, though.

Avoid anything being sold due to it's fruity/flowery fragrance. It's glorified perfume, not lotion.

Before you go to bed, put a hand cream on then wear light cotton gloves. If your hands are really dry/cracked, use Vaseline/petroleum jelly.

When I was a Pharmacy Technician, the Pharmacists would always recommend Eucerin to customers who asked this question.

I was recommended Cetaphil because I have sensitive skin. However, I didn't like it because it too was too thin and greasy. Now I use lubridermn which seems to work well.

I also have eczema which I am prescribed a steroid cream but I only use it occasionally. I'm sure things will get worse though because I just moved back up north from Florida.

Are we actually talking about hand lotion or hand lotion?

kiehl's
aveda

both have amazing handcreams.

MooJuice. Laugh if you will at the name, but it cures better than any other brand for dry, cracked hands.

I vote for Curel also.

Just be sure to rub the lotion on its skin whenever its told or else it gets the hose again.

I use Vaseline Intensive Care Hand Lotion during the day because it isn't greasy or sticky.
Aquaphor is what my dermatologist recommends for really chapped hands, but since it has the consistency of Vaseline, I usually wait until evening, apply the lotion, and then wrap my hands in a warm moist towel for 20 minutes or so. The mositure helps the skin absorb the lotion, and it is really comforting, too.

Suave Advanced Therapy. Works extremely well and is inexpensive.
