A gentle hand cream recommendation anybody please ?

[China Girl]

Aveda hand relief is the best hand cream ever....imo.
I've recommended it so many times on this forum, I'm sounding like a stuck record :grin:

Not cheap of course, but worth every penny, and you only need the tiniest amount so lasts for ages. I always buy it when Debenhams have their discount days.

Aveeno is tested on animals, which is why I will never use it.

Thank you louise for this info, my GP prescribed this when it first came out, I did not know it was tested on animals.

Hi I was just wondering if anybody on this lovley forum has bought a hand cream from QVC. The has calmed sore skin ...I seems to have has a reaction suddenly from some rings ..never happened before ...chemist recemmneded hydrocortisone cream which as helped a lot ( said visit doc of course if no real improvement ) so I was wondering apart from the non- scented creams ( that's I've bought this week ) are there any others that do not appear to be harsh ....Im a bit dissapointed no loccitane for me a the momentthank you in advance to

I like Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream. If you go into their shops, you can try them before buying, May.They have a good selection and they are having a sale at the moment

Next to them, I really liked Decleor moisturising body milk for my hands , it really sink in , not sticky and makes my hands feel so soft.

My GP's practice nurse gave me a couple of Oilatum cream samples, they were good but I don't think I 'll but them.

My OH uses E45 cream when his hands get dry.

I use Akin Unscented Hand Cream for sensitive skin. It's really soothing and also cruelty free. Crabtree and Evelyn hand creams are very moisturising and cruelty free.

Crabtree and Evelyn have a sale at the moment

Probably best to avoid the highly scented ones... so Elemis is a definite no-no.

Personally I love the Decleor handcream and also Clarins Jeunesse des mains.

Or you could steer entirely away from handcreams and go for an unscented pure oil such as argan oil.

I recommend O'Keeffe's Working Hands which is around £4.50 on Amazon. My hubby had terribly sore painful cracked hands, and we had tried lots of products - but nothing worked. I bought the O'Keeffe's Working Hands and after one night's use, the skin on his hands had improved dramatically. Within less than a week they were better. They also do a foot cream which I am going to order and give a whirl.

For anybody who likes Crabtree and Evelyn handcreams they are currently in their sale. It`s currently £8 for a 100g tube or £5 for a 50g tube, full price they are £16 or £10 respectively. It looks as if all their handcream fragrances are in the sale too. My personal favourite is the La Source one.
