My hands were severely damaged in an accident when I was 11 month old. In a process which took months and years, skin was transplanted from other body parts. So I have always had trouble with the skin on my hands, it is easily damaged again and again. During the years, I have tested many, many hand creams, some expensive, others inexpensive, some recommended by health personnel, others recommended by friends. But noone really have hands like me. I have found some creams to bee too thin and without any effect. Other creams have been too greasy and seem to never dry up.
My absolute favourite is Atrix Intensive Protection Cream. Perfect formula for me. Happily, it is also inexpensive and long-lasting. I keep one everywhere--on my night table, at the sinks, in my office, and in my bag.
By the way, my family and I have found that it can also serve as a foot cream as well as be used on dry spots on legs and arms --practical when travelling.
