I agree. Lately I've been using the L'Occitance immortelle hand cream
because I love the scent.
Audrey

Another Yes for the Avon Moisture Therapy hand cream. Inexpensive, yet
absorbs well and is non greasy.
Carol

Clarins Jeunesse des Mains – absorbs well and smells great

Good ol' Neutrogena Norwegian Formula, fragrance free version. Effective,
cheap, readily available. I keep tubes all over the place––desk, home, car.

I actually haven't found anything that I thought worked better than
Palmers Cocoa Butter (either the lotion or the cream) and you can't beat
the price.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula, fragrance–free version. Cheap, effective,

Davies' Gate Whole Wheat Body Lotion which I keep by the bathroom
sink. It has a just showered smell and is light, non greasy but very,
very effective. I also like TBS Shea Body Butter. Mercier Au Lait is
a splurge, but very effective and smells yummy for the cooler months.
I wish I liked Avon Silicone Glove, Care Deeply, etc, but I find
they're all greasy and seem to "sit" on the skin w/o moisturizing.
YMMV.

Zim's Crack Creme. No frills, no fab fragrance...but it does the job on
chapped, dry hands.
Sandra in PA

For high end...I LOVE the Chantecaille hand cream. I believe it has retinol and
smells like roses. I ran out last winter and need to treat myself to more.

I've found a lot of inexpensive effective hand creams on the market,
but really the trick to unchapped hands in the winter is to apply
cream after EVERY hand washing. These are my current favorites (in no
particular order):
Sally Hansen's 18–hr protective hand cream
Avon Silicone Therapy
Yves Rocher Arnica
Herbacin glycerin hand cream (contains silicone for lasting
protection)
No greasy feel from any of these. I keep a pump jar of cream on my
desk, next to every sink and a tube in my purse.

I've been using BBW Hand Therapy Healing Hands Cream –– nice
fragrances, not too greasy; and Vaseline Healthy Hands Essentials.
I'm relatively pleased with both. Of course, its still in the 50s
here. Nothing will make me happy when it finally gets cold.
Barbara

Another vote for this one. Also, add H2O Plus, and Vaseline (the pink–trimmed
bottle.)
I loved the feel of the Perricone hand cream but it sure smells awful and is
ridiculously pricey at $80!!!
Barb

thanks for this thread.....................its reminded me that i
have several L'Occitane products from last christmas stuck in a
drawer.............just got them out and put them on the counter.
(it DOES smell good!)

I bought this L'Occitane set last year; I think it's a great deal. The tube
of hand cream is huge! Of course, it will probably be "temporarily out of
stock" until after the friends & family sale:

When you really feel like treating yourself, because it is
expensive: Pharmacopia handcream in Lavender. Normally I don't like
scented lotions, but if you like lavender, you should love this.

does this have the same powdery/perfumey scent that the L'Occitane has?
I liked the L'Occitane, but couldn't take the scent.

Use google and you will see that you can find it at www.beautyhabit.com,
www.joybeauty.com or www.uncommonscents.com It is sold at boutiques and
independent stores. Where I live I've found it at three different gift
shops. The first time I saw it in town it was at an interior
decorator's studio. He had the line of bath products. Another retailer
is a men's clothier/gift shop.

There's a jar of this sitting on my desk. I haven't been satisfied with
it. On my hands it seems to soak in and disappear. On the other hand
when I came down with an allergic rash to a new shampoo, it was soothing
and softening on my itchy neck and chest. I like my Palmers better for
hand cream, though.
I just thought of another hand cream I like a lot –– Gardeners' Hand
Therapy from Crabtree and Evelyn. The only reason I've only bought it
once is the price. I wash my hands a lot (dogs, contact lenses, basic
obsessive cleanliness) and go through hand cream too fast to keep
spending $14 or whatever it was on a tiny tube.

I have all kinds littered about the place but one I have recently

My two favourites are Herbacin Kamille+Silicone hand cream and Vichy
Vichyderm Hand Care. I love the smell of the Vichy one but it's
really strong and drives my officemate nuts so I don't use it there.

Due to handling weightlifting chalk all the time, my hands can get
very dry. I have gotten the most help from a dermatological product
called Acid Mantle ( http://www.medichest.com/acidmantlecream1lb.html
). You can get it at pharmacy counters, or –– as I found just now
when I looked for a link to post –– online. Not sexy, but very
effective.
