*NOTE* - If your hands are already very irritated, I definitely recommend looking at the fragrance free options. The chart at the end is my personal ranking based on my hands that are not currently chapped at the moment. I hope you loved the video! 😀
Vaseline is a real good choice for badly chapped, cracked hands as well. & holds off transdermal water loss too. 😊
Yes, and I would like to add if you're hands are literally cracked and bleeding like mine, get CeraVe Healing Ointment that one has 46.5% Petrolatum and loaded with dimethicon and ceramides but it feels way better that Vaseline
i love this series. i try to learn from your recommendations. Especially because i dont have the time to do all of this research. i am debating in weather or not to become a member, but honestly you truly deserve it.
Where does the Body Shop cream come on your chat? TY :) xx
I actually like my hand lotions with fragrance. It's part of the reason why I put them on cause I like my hands to smell nice. I don't think it irritates them or anything.
🥰I would LOVE to see a shampoo/conditioner version of this! Particularly including brands with a lot of hype in social media such as: Function of Beauty, Aveda, Olaplex, Briogeo, Living Proof, Kerastase, Ouai, Drybar, OGX, Sheamoisture. Anyone else? 🙋🏼♀️
Oooh, same! Aside from Paula's Choice (who tragically discontinued their conditioner recently), I've not been able to find *any* cruelty-free, non-irritating shampoos.
Yes please!!!!!
WEN has the best ingredients.
Yes! I follow the curly girl routine and would love to see a video about hair products, especially curly girl friendly products!
Yes! Especially cover WHICH silicones are the worst because I can't find consistent info on which are water soluble/evaporate. And try to add the Bondi Boost Growth system, Pureology, Hairitage, Kristin Ess collections, and the XTC growth shampoo to that list!
My husband's hands are severely chemical burned from a work accident several years ago, and every summer, the humidity obliterates his skin. Deep cracking, peeling, blistering, all that, and he SWEARS by O'Keeffe's Working Hands. It's the only thing that helps heal and stop itching for him, and he's tried so many things.
If anyone is wondering, it was dish sanitizer that was too strong that destroyed his skin when he worked as a dishwasher.
Thank you, Jen, for this video! Now I can help him pick out other good things for his hands :)
I have Lupus and because of it sever problems with the skin on my hands. Working Hands is the one that has helped the most!
That one was the worst thing ive ever used... It smells bad and felt weird... Maybe I got a bad one 😳
I had burns and blisters on my hands for a similar reason when I worked for a froyo shop. So painful.
My father does too - retired Navy diver, then worked in maintenance for another 20 years.
I've heard great things about O'Keefe's.
Can you please do this with eye creams? I only trust your research thoroughness, and I suspect far too many eye creams do nothing or worse, have damaging or aging ingredients in them. You are the best, Jen! This is the most helpful beauty content out there. 🙌🏼
whatthehjelm oooh! Yes please!,
Agreed!
Idk if this helps but most dermatologist and estheticians say that a separate cream for your eyes is unnecessary. You can just bring your regular moisturizer up to your brow bone and around your eyes.
I agree with the comment above dermatologists and estheticians that don’t have a personal line they are selling tell you there is no need for an eye cream . Mine said if an eye cream was that amazing you would want it all over your face anyway so either use your eye cream everywhere on your face and neck or don’t be afraid to use your favorite moisturizer all over!
I like vaseline or an organic light noncomedogenic oil.
Am I the only person who is washing their hands as often as before the pandemic?! I already washed my hands often and I needed to change nothing in my hand hygiene when lovely corona came. And if you are just staying home all the time, why would you wash your hands any more often than usually? I wash my hands before I eat, before I wash my face, after toilet, after I get home, or anytime they get otherwise dirty... it has been ridiculous to see some youtubers to use hand sanitizers when being AT HOME filming. The alcoholic hand sanitizers are good if you can’t access to water and soap!
Noora h I have wondering the same thing about people staying home. I have actually washed my hands less since being home I was teaching kindergarten so when schools were open my hands were so beat up cause I washed all the time. Now being home it’s like meals coming in from outside and around the time I need to wash my face or touch my contacts. So my hands think this is a vacation lol
I’ve always been a chronic hand washer, and am really wondering now how many people weren’t washing their hands. At first I thought it was weird that people were flying through hand soap all of a sudden, but big picture I guess I can’t be mad that people are being “too hygienic”. I’m washing my hands slightly more often, but mostly if I’ve been in public places.
Very similar, indeed :) but I did pump up my game in terms of technique (actually Googled and practice a proper one) and timing (20 seconds can be a loooong time). But I added washings for dealing with groceries and parcels-- I would rinse but not wash thoroughly after stocking my fridge, for example. Never thought about washing hands after unpacking a parcel of creams and stuff from a local drugstore :)
I never used to wash my hands this much. Sure I wash them after using the bathroom or before eating but not after going to a store, taking public transport or even just touching the front door of my apartment building. Especially when bringing groceries to my bf grandma the hand washing/cleansing becomes very ecxessive. The weather being very dry recently also hasn't been helping.
Agreed! I worked in the hospital and we are encouraged to STOP using sanitizer when not in hospital or public area i.e home is safe without sanitizer
I am a nurse and Gold Bond has saved my hands for many many years! Good job and great research 😁😁😁
Nurse as well....yessssss Gold Bond, I have converted many a nurse and aid!!!
I have loved Gold Bond a long time too!
DianaCCRN
Unfortunately, I bought Gold Bond healing pump lotion and it smelled funky so I opened it up and there was a layer of mold inside. I contacted the company and they never responded. I will never buy again.
Fellow nurse as well. Gold Bond Radiance Renewal cream oil (gold/tan tube) is one of the only creams/lotions that has ever felt like it’s gone INTO my skin, and not just sit on top of it.
Nurse here as well. One of my other nurses hipped me to Gold Bond and now I'm hooked. Great stuff.
My kids have exzema on their skin & the doctor told me every night before bed wash their hands..then don't dry them , cover in vaseline ( petroleum jelly) & put hands in cotton gloves .
In the morning their hands are so soft & completely clear of exzema.. usually do this once a week ...it so simple but works amazing...do the same for my son's legs when he get an exzma flair up ..but I have to wrap his legs in cotton wrap ...I dont know the science behind it but it works amazing !!
My son was also wet bandaged. The difference is that Jen said air drying your hands is not good. Your method is locking the moisture in with the Vaseline so the water doesn’t have a chance to dehydrate on the skin. I used to use sorbilene cream instead of vaso. You can also wash with sorbilene.
Sounds like what you do is exactly like a hand cream, except instead of having everything pre-mixed in a tube or a jar you placed everything yourself in neat layers
This is terrible advice for those with dyshidrotic eczema though, it encourages bacterial growth and makes the blistering worse
vaseline? hmm . Please try kosiskin. You wont regret it.
Foot creams would be a great thing to dive into! Enjoying this series!
Leesa Wallace, yes! And foot exfoliates too like Baby Feet/Foot 🤷♀️.
agreed
I'm looking for a good foot peeling mask too! They are usually very hydrating
Oh there’s a good idea! I started using glycolic acid toner on my hard skin on feet after every shower and it seems to help. But I like the soap and glory foot cream and I remember trying a burts bees one years ago I think it was minty... or coconut.. 🤔🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@iwillinaminute I am currently using Kerasal intensive foot repair. However, my skin tends to react to petroleum/petrolatum based products. So, if there's another brand that does not contain those products, but still has salicylic acid would be great!
I’m a frontline ER nurse and this is the video I’ve been waiting my entire career for!!!! Thank you so much!
Unrelated, but I'm obsessed with your purple/blue pop of color on your lower lash !
Her eye makeup is always so pretty 😁
Thank you, Nellie! It's the blue from the Cheers to the Beauty palette by Coloured Raine! :)
Nellie B You said it, 😆 I wasn’t sure I should mention it when it might sound like I’m not paying attention... it’s gorgeous, I’m going to try it! (And I am paying attention to teacher, love you Jen)
I would LOVE a body lotion version of this!! Olay, Jergens, Aveeno, Vanicream, Neutrogena, etc.
Yes
Kept waiting for Jergens. Wrong category, my bad 😬
Jergens, based off ingredients and knowledge from this video: yes, fragrance. Yes, smoothing. No soothing. Yes, protection (petrolatum, stearic acid, dimethicone)!!! No replaced oils- no moisturizer (but no oily feel!) Glycerin and water.
To add soothing and moisturizing, I would use shea butter before 😍
Well, this just explained why L'Occitane is the only hand cream that actually works for me. I have a medical condition that affects the skin, and it is nice to know that it isn't my imagination that this cream is actually different than others I have tried, lol.
I’m so glad that you finally did this video. And I’m an glad that you featured the Gold Bond hand cream. As a janitorial supervisor I have to wash my hands a million times a day as well as work with harsh chemicals. Having a hand cream that lasts through several hand washes but isn’t overly greasy is a must for me. And the Gold Bond hand cream is my current go to.
Kathareen McKnight - I use it all the time (my office switched to a super drying/irritating soap in the bathroom) and it is at home, in my office, in my car, at my nail salon...can’t live without it.
I have their foot cream and night lotion.
I personnaly use my cerave body cream in a tub to mosturize my hands and it works wonders! Not greasy at all on top of that!
Agree. Love that stuff. It has different ingredients from the other product mentioned in the video.
Same with me! Best body and hand cream for me. Sometimes I’ve used it on my face ro in a pinch.
I love my Cerave body cream for my hands as well. The hand lotion one does not work as well for me.
I use the Neutrogena Hydroboost Body Gell then lock in the moisture in with my Cerave Body cream in the tub. Used together it works wonders. Highly recommend dynamic duo of healing.
I use the CeraVe AM moisturizer as my hand cream because it contains SPF and I want to minimize the aged look people get on the back of their hands. The packaging is also purse friendly
A tip for anyone trying to avoid fragrance: look into other moisturizing products too, if you can't find a fragrance-free hand cream that suits your needs, maybe there's a body lotion that works (which might even be cheaper per ounce). Babycare is also a good category to look into, a lot of these products are fragrance-free (unfortunately not all tho')
I use a facial night cream for hand cream that I add jojoba and argan oil to because fragrance on my hands drives me nuts.
I'm so glad to see somebody else recommending products containing urea, whenever I tell people they should use a cream with urea for their feet or hands, I'm always met with... but isn't that pee? Haha, but alas they can keep their non urea dry skin and I'll enjoy my urea plentiful creams and soft skin!
Haha, I had to explain to my husband why we are putting urea on our eczema. Between urea and dimethicone, our feet and hands are feeling so much better! His aren't cracking and mine aren't blistery...well as much. :)
Hey, please, my son is 6 and wee is funny! Also I didn’t understand the first time I saw it (on a washing up liquid in Lidl, it made an impression😆) and had to go find out. I know it’s good now 😃 xxj
Urea can be synthetic as well, so not derived from pee but from the active ingredients that are found in pee.
@@aiureapriniarba7 I know 😅😅 but people hear urea and think urine, and go ewwwww, cracks me up every time 🤣
Your recommendation of using excess face products on the hands is excellent. I have done that for 30 years and my hands look at least 10 years younger than my age. Also, using sunscreen on the hands. Thank you, Jenn, for all your hard work. 🙂
If you look at any skincare expert their hands & elbows are always amazing because they use excess products on them rather than waste them! Especially when they are showing how the product actually looks 🤗
😁 I especially loved editing Jen’s closing charts and recaps. That was super helpful and I screenshot it for future reference!
Jen wearing the crown needs to be a meme. It was a mood, and I am here for it
I could legit listen to you talk about ingredients for hours
I was one of the people that found you through L’Occitane and I am so thankful for that video lol
Why did I just learn more in the first 2min of this video then I have ever learned in any of the years of school I went to # of years ago
The L’Occitane hand cream is my absolute go to. It’s the only thing that works for me when my hands get dry and cracked. The fragrance doesn’t bother my skin. I have tried everything, including prescription creams from both my doctor and dermatologist, but this is the only one that works. To me the price is worth it to heal my hands. I will continue to purchase it every year. I buy the large tube and it lasts a little over a year.
I buy all of my L'Occitane products from QVC.UK, because the process are excellent, especially for the duo's and trio's. I don't know if the US site sells them?
does it absorb into the skin fast? I hate greasy feeling hand creams.
I’m a nurse and wash my hands like a million times every hour. I love Cerave cream for my hands (and body too). Not greasy. Absorbs easily. Keeps my hands feeling soft.
This series is very helpful! I love how you break down the formulas and educate about the benefits of each ingredient.
Would you be willing to do a video about specific ingredients like jojoba, almond oil, or shea butter? It doesn't have to be brand specific. I just like the way you explain things.
FYI: amygdala is called that because it's almond-shaped and the name comes from the Greek word for almond.
🤯
Indeed
Very interesting!
ok... just started watching and all I can do is stare at your inner rim eyeliner! What is that color? Love it!!
I’m surprised the Clinique Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle cream didn’t make the list. It’s absolutely phenomenal and fragrance free!
😁
My top tip is to apply the greasier handcreams to your hands before you do anything in washing up gloves. Especially the washing up as the heat seems to make the skin absorb the cream really well. And I can almost make myself believe the doing the washing up is part of my beauty regime! 😂
Personally I love the Lush handcreams.
Same! Handy Gurugu is the only hand cream for my parched hands.
Helping hands is my ride or die hand cream! Its amazing
Love the dishes trick lol. Might try that
And this is why I subscribed. You’re wonderfully thorough about ingredients and videos like these are enormously helpful.
It would be great to hear how “custom” are custom formulas (like in curology)? I mean, don’t they have to potent a certain formula? So the formulas have to be limited. Would love to hear how that works.
I really good option if you like the L’Occitan hand cream is the Trader Joe’s 20% shea hand cream. I know it won’t be accessible to everyone but it’s ridiculously cheap considering how nice it is, and when I compared the two side by side I actually preferred the Trader Joe’s version because it was even more moisturizing.
The pronunciation for Ahava is on the last syllable, not the middle one. It's the Hebrew word for "Love."
Thank you, Elleah! If anyone wants to hear it pronounced correctly ah-ha-VA, you can hear it here: ruclips.net/video/CmrPjzwCvQE/видео.html
So the spring water in the ingredients is actually the underground spring from where the water from the Dead Sea comes.

There is so much research and great recommendations here. Thank you for doing all of this work so we don’t have to!
As a hairstylist, I am usually constantly in water pretty consistently (I do mainly color and chemical services). My two favorite hand creams are Scentuals hand &body lotion, and Hempz Herbal body moisturizer. Jen should definitely try Scentuals since it's a really pure ingredient brand made in Canada. All (if not most) of their products are 100% natural with organic ingredients . The Hempz lotions combine hemp oil with many other amazing oils like avocado, shea butter, sweet almond, sunflower, and jojoba and are mixed with fruit/plant extracts. Loved the video, and I adore this series! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication ❤️😀
The Body Shop also has a 100mL size in some of the hand creams (especially the Hemp and Almond) which will have a much better price per Oz. As well, the Hemp one includes beeswax to create a moisture barrier as well to prevent moisture loss when washing hands.
The Gold Bond is my holy grail hand cream. Was so happy to see you covered that one 😆
Hyram said it was his holy grail too! Had to include it! :)
This is a great video Jen! Loved the information! So many options now!
I almost wish you had gone over some of DECIEM’s hand creams from The Chemistry Brand, I’m so interested in that line.
Also as far as my research as come, peptides and ceramides don’t need to be at a super high concentration. As they are generally powerful actives, you will see the benefits pretty quickly at lower concentration and they are generally very very expensive ingredients because they’re proven, so having them at a lower concentration keeps the cost relatively reasonable.
I swear by Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Healing Moisture Lotion. It's fragrance-free and it works amazingly well! I use it every single night, and, as a result, I rarely have to put hand lotion on during the day. Furthermore, it is very affordable and available at most stores.
Thank you for being so thorough! I’ve battled dry/ chapped hands for years. I definitely recommend gloves, especially when doing any work that’s hard on the hands. Gardening gloves are cheap and save me from destroying my hands.
Love from the Pine Barrens in NJ
Please do a face moisturizer or body lotion video next please! Loving these videos!
Thank you so much for posting this, my hands are always dry. I too cannot stand heavy fragrance, I found an alternative to the L’occitane hand cream at Trader Joe’s, I think it’s very similar, except the fragrance is more subtle. They carry a Rose Oil hand cream that I like too. I will give the Caudalie one a try since I need something with anti-aging properties 😬 I hardly comment but I would like to say that I love all your videos and appreciate all the research you do for us!!
😄caudalie was my favorite for years. I’m constantly washing my hands and wear gloves while I work (health care). The lotion is *NOT* greasy/sticky, I can slip the gloves on easily😊
please continue to do review/comparisons like this to cover more hand creams (like mario badescu) and also lip balms (like Klavvu). I'm one of those who are always on the hunt and have never found my holy grail on both hand cream and lip balm tho i'm enjoying a few products. your reviews like these (so as all reviews you do) are very helpful!! this type tho is my fave! thank you for doing this.
My favorite thing I use for my hands is actually a face moisturizer. I use the CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for my hands. :) Possibly weird, but I also use the Paula's Choice Moisture Boost toner! I like it for my hands and feet. Absorbs quickly, and is great moisture! My face is combo/oily, so I don't use that toner on my face (I use a different toner), but I love it for my hands!
Jamie same
Me too!
Me too!
I use Cerave too, for my hands and feet.
I do the same! But I use the CeraVe healing ointment immediately after as an occlusive (mostly on the backs of my hands). Works wonders!
Hand Food has been the absolute skin saver for my hands! I've tried all of the other creams you mentioned in this video and I can't count how many others. I don't mind the scents. I just picked up the fruity one and it's tolerable for me. I think finding the right hand cream is just trial and error.
I love the Eucerin Hand Cream, I keep one in my purse that has SPF15 in it (I know that's not a lot, but I reapply all the time and hands age so fast when you're driving). I use a combo of Aquaphor and Eucerin at night for my hands. If my cuticles split and are bleeding, Lucas' Paw Paw ointment is my savior. I have also been using Neutrogena Hand Cream since the 1970s.
When my husband was going through chemo and radiation his oncologist recommended Cerave products. The oncology nurses also had the products available on the floor. it worked really well without irritating the irradiated skin, which looks sunburned. Maybe skin affected by cancer treatment needs the additional silicones and protectants? I LOVE this series you are doing!!
Honestly LOVE these videos, Jen! This one is well timed too! As a lotion addict, I'm excited about this video!
Hey loves!! So.. Caudalie~
Pronounced... like
"Totally...."
I always remember
Totally Caudalie❤
Also: I've been using the elixir for years now as part of my skincare routine 👍😘
This is about the nicest way I've ever seen someone demonstrate a pronunciation :) really nice!
It's a French brand, and I'm French, so I pronounce it the French way, which sounds more like"Cod-al-ee." It's always interesting to me to discover how French names are pronounced in British and/or American English though :)
@@kimberygraf5404 aww❤
😊
😊😊 under normal circumstances I would not put thick Vaseline type hand creams on my face... but now, being a nurse and wearing an n95 for so many hours of the day/night, I’ve found they really help protect my face from breakdown. Across the bridge of my nose, the apples of my cheeks, and around my jawline- right where the mask forms a seal to my face. It’s been a lifesaver!
Goldbond doesn’t leave you greasy. It’s amazing. It smooths your hands and it doesn’t leave a greasy feel! Love it❤❤❤❤
I’ve turned to using oils in the meantime because every lotion or cream I’ve used thus far would irritate my dry hands even more. I have hand eczema, so I can’t do fragrance.
I have eczema on my hands as well, they flare up from my seasonal allergies but all the hand washing I am doing is hard as well. Fragrance is the enemy, I use fragrance free eczema formula hand creams and apply hydrocortisone cream at night before I go to bed so it has a solid chunk of time to reduce the irritation
Crystal Rapose the eczema formulas irritate my skin for some reason. They either make it more itchy or make it red. Not sure if it’s the petrolatum in there.
7:14 petroleum is very gentle and non-irritating. 🙂
I have eczema too and very dry hands and the only thing that helps is the aveenno moisturising cream which has no fragrance. Which oils do you use?
Liz Gunsmoke unfortunately, I can’t even use Vaseline.
Thanks Jen. This is so relevant. Don’t get me wrong - I love the videos that i can just enjoy but these useful videos are also appreciated.
Watching this and am so glad for your recommendations. I’m a pharmacist in Maryland and currently we have to wash our hands at minimum every 30 min while on the job. You are saving my skin with these recommendations.
I have super sensitive hands, every time I get them wet, I have to use hand cream, even without using hand soap. Its been like that for years, but I haven't really found my holy grail product yet. Now I'll definitely look at the labels to make a better choice, since I will know to treat dehydration rather than dryness! Thanks so much!
I just use the CereVe moisturizing cream for everything. Works great!
Best cream ever! So happy I found it
Same! I love it so much
You’re amazing. I appreciate all this work and effort.
Came back to add “😁”
You have impeccable timing. I’m a nurse and was just looking online for some good hand cream. I am a nurse and my hands are chapped beyond belief and my nails are cracking right down the nail bed.
Awesome video! Thanks for the quality and deep research. Another good trick to share is to wear the heavy hand creams at night, before going to sleep and the light ones during the day. Just like a night cream for your hands! 🙌
Please, I'd love to see a video about hand soap too. Take care!😘
Hand food lotion is available at Kohl’s too. Always nice to purchase if you have $5 Kohl’s cash.
I just want to say i appreciate you doing all this research for us this has to take so much time!!!! Thank you so much i needed this❤ hope all is well with you and yours!!!
I love the Neutrogena one. I had super bad eczema on my hands for years and went through many hand creams trying to find one that would help. Neutrogena was the only hand cream I found that quickly helped my skin without it feeling greasy, and actually felt like it was moisturising. Love your videos! Always helpful and informative
I’ve struggled with dry, cracked hands in the winter for years, which I believe is at least partially due to my Raynaud’s disease. I have found Bath and Body Works essential oil lotions (NOT the regular) to be extremely effective for me. Not only do they hydrate my hands but they also help neutralize the color of my hands from raynauds and you also get the aromatherapy benefit. In the past I’ve used Tree Hut’s mango hand cream which helped a lot. I also recommend Aveeno and Eucerin.
The “Norwegian formula” is a nod to deep sea fishing, implying that even hardened deep sea fishermen use that hand cream. It’s a snazzy marketing thing. It does make hands soft though.
It was allegedly inspired by Arctic fishermen during WWII, whose hands remained soft due to the fish oil. Norwegian Formula doesn't have fish oil though, so yeah... marketing. 😏 Works great for me though!
Hmm, It’s probably likely that Scandinavian fisherman made their own hand cream from animal fats. Glycerine was derived from animal fats, including fish oils. Now glycerin from plant sources is usually used. My Danish grandmother had a painting of two fishmonger ladies and she would always tell us that they were praised with having the softest hands.
😊 love this series!!!! Would love to see this for eye creams if you haven’t done one already!
Excellent job!!! I’d like to tell you about a lotion all the farmers use during the brittle cold winters when it’s below zero and they had their hands in and out of snow and water. Corn Huskers is the name. It has a very high glycerin content and my father used it for decades, until it started affecting his allergies and he had to change. But I used it as well and it made my hands so soft, no cuticles and no hangnails. Cost was $5 a bottle.
Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your in-depth reviews, you really really do your homework and this one is very timely.
The Cerve renewing SA foot cream is amazing as a hand cream!!! Jessica Braun loves it
Odd. I have eczema on my hands, and First Aid Beauty is one of the few hand lotions/creams that I like to use. It moisturizes and doesn't leave a heavy film. I also like the Eucerin cream in the tub and the L'Occitane pure shea butter. But those definitely feel heavier and do leave a film.
Yes, I bought the FAB Ultra Repair Cream because of the 0.5% colloidal oatmeal, which is borderline for eczema effectiveness, but I liked the texture more than some of the other hand creams/lotions I've tried that contain 0.5-1% colloidal oatmeal.
Neutrogena is my favorite handcream!! I don’t have chapped hands but I have the kind of hands I literally cannot wash without moisturizing and my hands are very very particular!
You have the sweetest most genuine outros of all youtubers 😊 Makes it easy to stick around until the end! Also love the charts that you did!! I know all this research takes a lot of time and hard work so we appreciate you helping us to not buy crap! 😄 Also you’ll have to try “Udderly Smooth” My grandma has been using it forever and it helps me in the winters when my hands get cold, dry, cracked, dehydrated, and not happy. That cream helps bring them back to life!!
I had no idea the Soap and Glory was so good! :o) I love how it makes my skin feel and wondered because it is so cheap. I also really love the Ahava one...probably because it smoothes my hands and helps them when they feel sore...no idea why. Thank you for the amazing chart at the end. Caudalie is one I need to check out! Great timely video!
Can i just point out that these are US ingredients listings. Many companies have different formulas for the different countries its products are sold in.. 😎
Good point!
Your work does not go unnoticed- thank you for being so thorough!
As someone who is strict about hand washing and has tried so many different brands and formulas, I swear by the Neutrogena Norwegian formula. Every other one I try always works great at first but then doesn’t work after a few weeks. With this one, I’ve been using it since October (once or twice a day) and my hands are so soft and smooth.. no cracking or dryness. And I’m over 50 so I have aging hands. I’m amazed and bought 4 tubes ahead. It may not be as popular or have fancy ingredients but I’m extremely satisfied that I found my holy grail at a great price 😊😊😊
Woohoo I was waiting for this 😁 thank you Jen❤️😘
This is fantastic thank you! I’ve tried half of the hand creams here on your list but I think the absolute best one I’ve tried is the Trader Joe’s Ultra Hand Cream. It sounds similar to the L’occitane one so you should definitely look into that one!
So this is just the trick that has been working for me as a grocery employee who has to wash my hands many many many times a day right now. Baby lotion and baby oil. I don’t know what about it is working so well, but it’s the only thing that helps without irritating my skin. I also use the Jergens in shower moisturizer when I shower and use a little of the serum from hydrating sheet masks on my hands when I do them. This combo is what saved my hands.
These videos always give me anxiety because I'm afraid people will screw up the information and facts but you always pull through Jen! 💜
The body shop hemp hand cream was my JAM back in the day when I could get the 3oz tube for like $8 during sales... it's just too expensive now!
Victoria Vath i love their Shea Butter , lasts ages x
That hemp hand cream is THEE BEST hand cream. Ever. My family hated when I would use it because it made me smell like a hippie lol
I was introduced to it about 4 years ago, and was hooked. Unfortunately, it's just too expensive. The price has was high 4 years ago, and it has increased since then. My Body Shop location closed 3 years ago, so I either have to drive an hour away to the next nearest location, or order online and pay out the butt for shipping. I just can't justify the expense. My Suave Naturals body lotion works alright as a substitute. I just have to be sure to use it regularly because my hands crack & bleed so easily.
I got this for my husband to use for his eczema and it helps so much! They sell it at Ulta and have a lot of sales, it's buy one get on 40% off right now!
I love that L’Occitane hand cream. As a nurse, I wash my hands to death and it’s the best one I’ve found.
Thanks I wash my hands alot
My mom was a nurse and it was always her favorite. She was cheap though and never bought it for herself, so I always splurged on it for her Christmas gift. I love the smell because it reminds me of her ❤️
Hi. Try body shop the hemp one. I use it for 15 years in winter, if I don't my hands crack and bleed I got my mum addicted to it too
The blue one smells amazing
I can’t stand the fragrance. I try to ignore it but something in the scent disagrees me and has me on the verge of gagging.
I've been renovating my house and my hands have been dry/irritated/cracked for a year. I think I tried every hand cream on the market but I stopped in Lush and tried their hand cream Helping Hands and that hand cream literally brought my hands back to life. I ran out of it and my hands went back to being on life support for about a month so I went back to Lush and got more, and again my hands were healed. I swear by that hand cream and will never be without.
Also I love LOVE that you made a table in the end where I can quickly see the pros and the cons for me
I’m so picky with my hand creams. The best that I’ve ever found has been the ‘Intensive Nivea Hand Creme’ from Germany. Yes, Nivea in Germany is 100% different from what we get in North America 😂 thankfully whenever family visits they always bring me some 😁
😂'Lox-i-tawn'! A gal who worked on a cruise ship skincare 'store' I was on kept saying la-ci-tain! She kept side eyeing me when I'd giggle😂 After about 3 times the lady she was waiting on corrected her & she GLARED at ME!
I used to say Lock-Tawn-Ya hahaha
That's hilarious!
Giggling at someone for pronouncing a word wrong is so rude and unnecessary.
I live in Minnesota and work at a pizza shop where my hands are constantly covered in dry flour and I have to over wash my hands constantly..... this is MUCH appreciated ❤️
I MADE IT TO THE END 😂 omg thank you so much!!! Always informative as usual. Also I was so proud because I chose the loccitane one myself based on info I learned from your channel prior to this video
Omg when you pulled out the crown I lost it!!!😂🤣😂🤣😂
I love urea! It’s the only thing that has helped in my shampoo for dry scalp. Eucerin makes a shampoo with 10% urea but they don’t sell it in the US for some reason so I have to order it from Europe.
simetra thank you for sharing. I live in USA and order from Europe because I like many of your ingredients. Xoxo
Huh, good to know! I've had other Eucerin products shipped from Europe before, so maybe I'll try that next time I place an order.
is there a specific website you use to order them?
@@Melanie-ct6nm I've ordered from LifeandLooks.com in the past bc they used to have free shipping to the US. It's still relatively cheap, but they don't carry that Eucerin shampoo. Just checked. 🙁
I’m a hairdressing that’s suffers severely with contact dermatitis through the winter months and the only thing that helps make blisters and dry skin go away is the body shop hemp hand cream, it’s the most soothing and incredible cream ever!!!
Thank you so so much for pulling this video together! I found it very helpful to look past all the marketing BS and focus on what really matters - the ingredients. Much appreciated. :)
i hate when my hands are irritated and “chapped”, most hand lotions burn when i put them on. ive been searching for a non-irritating lotion for forever.
Monica Struck Norwegian fragrance free?
Yeah you want to avoid high fragrance and high alcohol lotions. Both cause irritation (fragrance also includes essential oils)
I really love the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing. I hate when it feels greasy, and this one doesn't. I normally have super dry/cracked skin but this helps.
I have a problem with hand lotions burning too. And I hate greasy - hard to work with papers with greasy fingers. My all time favorite hand lotion is Tocca's Crema da Mano. $10 for 1.5 oz. The frangrances are strong and uhm....creative? But in a good way, I love Cleopatra. I don't need but maybe a pea size and it lasts for hours - use too much and you get greasy. The tube lasts me nearly 3 months. It's a bit pricey - but since it's so effective, the price works out. That said, I also love Avon moisturizers. Different ones for different needs and all time tested. I do wish I could figure out what ingredient causes burning. Even Nivea creme burns. I'm about to just stick my hands in a can of Crisco. Or I should just order myself some more Tocca and stop trying to use up everything else I have. LOL
Copying and pasting my comment on the video here, just in case you do not see it - this stuff is awesome!!! "I highly recommend Vanicream for sensitive skin in the big pump...I have been using it for years and it is the only lotion I have ever tried that doesn't sting my chapped/cut hands in the Winter! I use it all over my body, even as a moisturizer at night, and before applying my makeup
A great tip if/ when you’re going through a large amount of hand cream is to use body butter, fragrance free or otherwise. The ingredients are generally just as good, if not better. Some of my faves are Trader Joe’s, Skinfix, & Jason’s, all of which are also cruelty free.
Idk why you have Goldbond in the thumbnail talking about hand creams that suck because that's what I use for my dry hands and it works amazingly. Washing and sanitizing them all the time is making them dry to the point of hurting, but I tried the goldbond formula for eczema because of the colloidal oatmeal and it immediately gets rid of the dryness, look of scales, general look of old hands. It makes my hands soft and normal again and I love it.
Every night I am using Lancôme Nutrix Royal Body. My MIL gave me some years ago and I loved it. The light fragrance reminds me of her every time and I smile. It is also part of my night time routine now and it relaxes me. Using it over this quarantine has kept my hands from getting dry and chapped.
I was surprised you didn't review any EOS hand creams.
@@infinitegraces I was surprised on that one, too. I love their Calming scent.
I had a call out on Twitter and no one requested EOS. I picked 15 of the top recommended. I think there were almost 40 mentioned. Do the EOS work for you?
@@infinitegraces Bath and Body Works don't list their hand cream ingredients online. I put a little mention after The Body Shop, but it was easy to miss. :)
@@jenluv EOS is a good product. You just don't get much in the bottle for the price. I wouldn't have listed ones without their ingredients available, either. People with allergies need to have that information!
I love this video! I do think you missed a very critical category:
Odds of busting your tail in the shower 🤪
Can’t tell you how many times I put my lotion on my feet the night before and almost bit it in the shower the next day. 😝
I’ve started using a local lotion maker. No fragrance means NO fragrance! (Bad perfume allergies)
That's a good point! 😂
JFM glad I’m not alone in this! I know cera ve did it!
👍been back at work for 4 days and my hands are already getting dry and cracked and this video is Much Appreciated!
Thank you for the info I've been rubbing my hands with olive oil every night before bed and when I'm cooking so far my hands are very happy. I'm allergic to a few of these but will look into the others
