Cream for dry skin of hands. Hand creams: customer reviews. How to choose a good hand cream

1. Botanique Serie - Hand and Nail Express Treatment. Express care cream for hands and nails (75 ml)

Description: An easily absorbed hand and nail cream that provides optimal care and hydration. Shea butter, olive oil, cocoa oil and grape seed oil help quickly restore skin elasticity, strengthen the nail plate, prevent nails from splitting, making them strong and shiny.
Compound:

My opinion: A gel-like, non-greasy cream with a pleasant sweetish-herbal (not pharmaceutical) scent that remains on your hands after application (in my opinion it smells like coconut). The cream is light, absorbs quickly, but also provides extremely little nourishment; it does not feel nourishing, but rather moisturizing (and even then light). Dryness after washing dishes, for example, can relieve. For about 10 minutes) Doesn’t protect against frost in any way. Nice weak cream. I didn’t notice any effect on the nails promised by the manufacturer. The cream had no effect on the condition of the nails. At all. And I also don’t understand how it can be that such a “thin” and very light cream contains as many oils as stated in the description? The manufacturer clearly embellished it (and the description itself is greatly embellished).
Grade: 4- (generally 3, but I gave it a point for the pleasant smell)
Price: 155 rub. (pharmacies 36.6)

2. Garnier - Restoring hand cream “Intensive care” for very dry and damaged skin (100 ml)

Description: The regenerating cream contains allantoin, known for its healing properties, especially its ability to care for small cracks in the skin. Glycerin protects your hands, and the active protective filter prevents aging of the skin on your hands. With regular use, this hand cream soothes and restores damaged hand skin and restores its softness and tenderness.
Compound:: Aqua/water, glycerin, peg-2 stearate, cetearyl alcohol, oleth-12, stearyl alcohol, Dimethicone, allantoin, disodium edta, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, glycyrretinic acid, sodium methyl cocoyl taurat, bht, sodium chloride, imdazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, propylparaben, parfum/fragrance, ci 14700/red 4, alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl benzoate, benzyl salicylate, butylphenyl methylpropional, Citronellol, gerani ol, hexyl cinnamal, hydroxyisohexyl3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, limonene, linalool.
My opinion: A very thick cream, but not greasy, but rather viscous, similar to wax or silicone in feel, with a chemical smell (I don’t like it, although I wouldn’t call it disgusting). It absorbs for a medium-long time, for its density and thickness, even quickly. But after use it gets dirty for quite a long time - it leaves greasy marks on what you touch. It only protects from frost for the first half hour after application, and even then not for 5. But the feeling of dryness is quickly relieved. However, the cream is from the “as long as I applied it, it worked” series. There is no accumulative effect, it softens the skin for a short time (it lasts for an hour and a half for me) - then again the drought (This is the most nutritious (after other Sheller) budget cream that I have tried. Good for me as a sos-tool during cleaning and washing etc. - and it removes dryness well and it’s not a shame to apply it every 5 minutes, considering the price. But the smell is annoying and the need to wait for complete absorption. Another minus: any contact with water - and its trace is gone from your hands - you have to immediately again smear.
Grade: 4-.
Price: 160 rub.

3.Dr. Scheller - Hand cream “Protection and restoration” (75 ml)

Description: Cream "Dr. Scheller" protection and restoration, with natural oat extract and panthenol, has a softening effect on the skin of the hands. The cream protects sensitive and damaged skin from harmful environmental influences by forming an invisible protective layer. Regular use of the cream makes the skin of your hands elastic and well-groomed.
Compound:
My opinion: A cream with a light, barely perceptible, completely non-irritating odor (smells like herbs), quite thick, no less than Garnier. It absorbs for a long time, leaves a protective film on your hands, but not greasy (it doesn’t get dirty, doesn’t leave fingerprints), but... it’s difficult to describe, it feels similar to the “film” from silicone facial bases, but lighter, barely perceptible. Not only does it not bother me, but I also like it. It protects very well from frost, one application lasts me all day, it protects against water, cold, and dust. With constant use, your hands dry out less, the skin actually becomes softer, more elastic, and your nails peel less. In general, the manufacturer’s description here is 100% truthful. I couldn't be happier with this cream - one of the best I've ever used. The only negative is that it is not sold everywhere. I bought it at the pharmacy and haven’t been able to buy another tube for a month now (mine ran out, there was barely enough for a swatch) - it’s not available anywhere (But if I see it, I’ll buy 2 at once. I highly recommend this cream to anyone whose hands are dry and/or cold.
Grade: 5+
Price: 170 rub.

4. Green Pharmacy - Hand and nail cream, regenerating, soothing “Chamomile” (100 ml)

Description: Light cream with chamomile soothes and moisturizes the skin. Chamomile extract has a strong antiseptic effect, relieves irritation, tones and nourishes tired skin. A multivitamin complex consisting of vitamins A, E and F, activates the regeneration process of skin cells, slows down oxidative processes, and prevents the premature appearance of wrinkles. Allantoin regenerates, soothes the epidermis, reduces its tendency to redness. Keratin, vitamins H and group B effectively strengthen the structure of the skin and nail plates, preventing their fragility and delamination. Mild cosmetic glycerin deeply moisturizes and protects the skin. The drug acts quickly and reliably - it is perfectly absorbed and absorbed, penetrating deep into the skin cells.
Compound: Aqua, Mineral Oil, Monoglycerides, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Cera Alba, Lanolin, Dimethicone, Cetostearyl Alcohol, Camomile Extract, Hamamelis Extract, Panthenol, Thiamine, Arnika Extract, Retinyl Acetate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Biotin, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben , Butylparaben, Parfum, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Allantoin, Sodium Hydroxide.
My opinion: oh, well, they lie in the description! (my soul couldn’t stand it)) It’s disgusting, not cream. So... it’s a liquid, very light cream with a disgusting, pungent smell (it doesn’t even smell, and dare I say it, it stinks of something like floor cleaning chemicals). It is absorbed medium-quickly, does not nourish at all and does not even moisturize. Useless cream. There is nothing more to write about him. (I applied it for a swatch and immediately went to wash it with soap - this stench remains permanently on the skin).
Grade: 0. Even -5 for the “smell”.
Price: 41 rub. (pharmacy)

5. Sally Hansen - Miracle Cure for Severely Dry Hands. Cream for very dry hand skin (130 ml)

Description: With regular use, it helps prevent dry skin caused by wind and cold. The cream contains 1% demythicone - a well-known emollient that effectively copes with the problem of excessive dry skin. Quickly absorbed. The result is guaranteed. Dermatologist approved.
Compound:
My opinion: The cream is not thick, but has a rich texture, the smell is not strong, but I wouldn’t call it aromatic, fortunately it dissipates quickly (I won’t say that it’s unpleasant, I just don’t particularly like it). It is absorbed relatively quickly, but you need to wait so that it does not leave greasy marks on objects. This cream protects well from cold, water, etc. But I wouldn’t call it very nutritious - for me it’s a bit weak. Better than Garnier in terms of care, but not as effective as Dr. Scheller. My mother loves it very much, but her hands are not as dry as mine. She especially appreciates it for its protection from the cold, and here I subscribe too.
Grade: 4+.
Price: about 350 rub.

6. Sally Hansen - 18 Hour Protective Hand Creme. 18-hour protective hand cream (95 ml)

Description: Contains shea butter, vitamins A, E, C and grape seed oil. Hand cream instantly relieves irritation and protects dry, chapped hand skin. It is necessary if you have dry, rough, cracked and irritated hand skin. Or if you expect that your hands will require special care in the near future, and they need invisible “protective gloves” that will protect the skin of your hands for a long time and reliably. The effect of using the cream lasts for 18 hours.
Compound: Aqua, glycerin, cetyl alcohol, isopropyl palmitate, shea butter, octyldodecanol, sorbitan stearate, sodium cetearyl sulfate, butylene glycol, PEG-8 wax, dimethicone, microcrystalline wax, grape seed oil, sandalwood extract, barley extract, tocopherol acetate, retinol palmitate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, panthenol, safflower oil, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth-20, fragrance, disodium EDTA, methylparaben, propylparaben, DMDM ​​hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea, mica, titanium dioxide, triethanolamine, carbomer.
My opinion: This cream is not in the photo and there is no swatch, because... I lost it somewhere in the apartment :) I wrote a review and couldn’t find it) In terms of consistency and smell, it is similar to the previous cream, only a little thinner, lighter, and absorbs faster. But it also feeds worse. 18 hours of protection - obviously not about him - is enough for me for a maximum of an hour. It also does not protect well from the cold due to its lightness. In principle, the cream is not bad, but for me it is weak.
Grade: 4- (for very dry skin and even 3).
Price: about 350 rub.

7. ROC - “Retin-Ox” Creme Hydratante Anti-Age Mains. Moisturizing anti-wrinkle hand cream SPF 15 (50 ml)

Description: Innovation from RoC® - a leader in the field of anti-aging products - Retin-Ox™ Moisturizing anti-wrinkle hand cream. Glycerin and Squalane, which are part of the cream, intensively moisturize the skin. The cream formula contains a unique combination of retinol and a complex of vitamins and minerals that smooth out wrinkles and effectively soften the skin of the hands.
Compound: Retinol, squalane, a complex of minerals and vitamins, glycerin, UV filters (I won’t write the full composition, because it’s not on the tube, and the box was thrown away a long time ago).
My opinion: Watery, not at all thick cream with a faint odor (I can’t describe the aroma, it smells like something “sour” or “pharmacy”). Absorbs almost instantly. Despite its lightness, the cream eliminates dryness very well and provides an immediate feeling of nourishment to the skin without films or grease. It is written that it is moisturizing, but I would say that it also nourishes, and of high quality. My terribly dry hands become soft for a long time, the cream tolerates water well and is not very cold. I am surprised by its effect with such a “liquid” texture and rapid absorption. The most accurate word for it is quality. I won’t say anything about wrinkles (my hands are too early for them), but my mother uses it with pleasure and says that her hands really start to look better with it. I think that for very chapped skin the cream will be weak, but for medium-dry skin it will be perfect. Particularly pleasing is the presence of a sun protection factor SPF 15.
Grade: 5.
Price: 600 rub. (honestly, I don’t remember, I only found it in 1 place online, I’m not sure that there will be so much in the pharmacy).

8. Natura - Nourishing hand and nail cream (75 ml)

Description: Peach oil, wheat germ extract, honey and vitamin E deeply nourish the skin, grape extracts and vitamin F soften and increase the elasticity of the skin on the hands. This comfortable cream will instantly restore skin softness and elasticity and protect throughout the day.
Compound: water, coconut oil, fatty alcohols, vaseline oil, glyceryl stearate, olive oil, peach oil, glycerin, wheat germ extract, rose hip extract, grape extract, ceteareth-6, ceteareth-23 (-25), vitamins E and F, bee honey , carbomer, methylparaben, propylparaben, fragrance, triethanolamine.
My opinion: Let me clarify right away that “Natura” is Pharmacy 36.6’s own trademark and is positioned as natural. It smells like wheat :) Well, actually, not really wheat, but rather “pharmacy”, but for some reason I associate the smell with wheat) The smell is pungent, quite strong. The consistency of the cream resembles milk - very light and thin. It is absorbed quickly, but for some time the hands “stick” for some reason, a sticky feeling. Impressions about the cream are ambivalent. It seems good, I think it will be good for non-dry skin, but for me it is completely useless - the nutrition is too weak, it rather moisturizes the hands. It’s better not to go out into the cold with it - your hands will immediately freeze. I don’t see any benefit from it either, although I hardly use it - I didn’t like the cream. And it is washed off too quickly with water - it does not protect against drying out by it.
Grade: 3+
Price: 95 rub. (pharmacy chain 36.6)

9. 36.6 - Anti-aging hand cream with goat milk (80 ml)

Description: Intensively nourishes, softens and smoothes the skin of the hands, eliminates the feeling of dryness and tightness. Proteins based on goat milk and collagen moisturize and strengthen the protective properties of the skin, increase firmness and elasticity, and smooth out wrinkles. Strengthens the skin's moisture-holding capacity.
Compound: water, stearic acid, palmitic acid, cetearyl alcohol, glycerin, petrolatum, ethylhexyl stearate, triethanolamine, soluble collagen, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, hydrolyzed goat milk proteins, butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, fragrance, methyl paraben, benzyl alcohol, methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.
My opinion: This is also the own brand of Pharmacy 36.6. Light pleasant sweetish-pharmaceutical scent (I like it). The cream itself is not thick, but you can’t call it milk at all. It is absorbed quite quickly, does not leave a greasy film, I have enough nutrition for several hours if I do not mess around in the water. It doesn’t really protect against the cold (sub-zero temperatures are not for it), but it eliminates the feeling of dryness and tightness very well. I sometimes use it several times a day. Overall I liked the cream; for its price it’s a quality product. I'll probably buy more. For medium-dry or normal skin - an excellent product, IMHO. Not bad for dry skin either, but needs to be reapplied often. I may be overpraising this cream a little, but for its price it is simply amazing.
Grade: 5-
Price: about 50 rub. (pharmacy chain 36.6)

10. Clarins - Age Control Hand Lotion SPF 15. Anti-aging lotion that removes age spots on hands with SPF15 protection (75 ml)

Description: Neutralizes pigment spots, weakens their brightness, reduces their size, protects the skin from the sun and prevents the appearance of new pigment spots. Moisturizes the skin, makes it soft and silky, strengthens nails.
Compound: Aqua, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Benzophenone-3, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butylene Glycol, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Cyclomethicone, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Acrylate/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Parfum, Acrylamides Copolymer, Xanthan Gum, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Paraffinum Liquidum, Disodium Edta, Polysorbate 20, Dimethiconol, Polysorbate 85, Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract, Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract, Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract, Morus Bombycis Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Metabis ulfite, Sodium Sulfite, Bht, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Limonene, Linalool.
My opinion: A very thin lotion, practically odorless (there is a slight, not particularly pleasant smell, I find it difficult to describe, but it is then imperceptible on the hands). It is absorbed almost instantly, leaving no film (or any feeling of anything on your hands at all) and... it begins to dry out your hands mercilessly ((I already have very dry, thin skin, and after this lotion it begins to dry out even more immediately after application, and it’s quite noticeable, it tightens the skin a little. I tried to smear it on top of other hand creams - if the cream underneath is not greasy, it still dries out. It doesn’t help at all with age spots (and I have plenty of them on my hands - I have photosensitive skin). per gram. It practically does not protect from the sun. That is, it does not protect at all. I bought it in the summer - the summer has passed - there are more spots. Now I don’t know what to do with this mega-economical tube. I didn’t expect this from Clarins, almost everything that I tried it - it’s high quality and effective. And here it is on you :(
Grade: 1 (at least it didn’t poison me and the skin didn’t peel off - and thank you for that)
Price: about 1000 rub.

11. Velvet hands - Hand and nail cream “Comprehensive” (80 ml)

1st - 11, 2nd - 12 (12 is thicker)
Description: The cream is designed specifically for comprehensive care of the skin of hands and nails. The cream provides the necessary nutrition and hydration of the skin, a complex of valuable components: milk proteins, vitamins A, E, biotin - helps strengthen nails, nourish and soften the cuticle.
Compound:
My opinion: Not very sharp, but a disgusting smell of rancid laundry soap, very long-lasting on the hands. The cream itself is like thick milk, but it doesn’t even think about being absorbed quickly - a film remains, which, once absorbed, dries out your hands. There is no talk of any nutrition at all. If you smear your hands with cream and then tinker with the water, your hands will dry out even more than if you had not applied it. With prolonged use, the cuticle noticeably deteriorates - it becomes rough and dry. The cream tightens the skin more than alcohol. I understand - the price is meager. But for this price there are a lot of good creams. And the smell... it is terrible and very persistent.
Grade: 0.
Price: about 40 rub.

12. Velvet Hands - Hand Cream “Night Revitalizing” (80 ml)

Description: Restores skin cells overnight and preserves youth. With silk proteins, provitamin B5 and elastin.
Compound:
My opinion: It smells like unscented soap, more tolerable than the cream above, but still soap) The consistency is somewhat thicker than the previous cream, it absorbs a little longer. It doesn't dry out your hands, but it doesn't nourish your hands either. I don’t see even slight hydration from it at all. In the first minute of application, it can remove the feeling of dryness, but for that minute and no more (When the skin was very dry, I put it on my feet - here it was more or less tolerable. I saw a lot of laudatory reviews online about the Velvet Hands series of creams, but not I understand why they are praised. They are terrible! Maybe the quality was different before, I don’t know. But these creams, even for their price, do not justify themselves.
Grade: 2.
Price: 50 rub.

13. L "Occitane - Hand Cream with shea (karite) butter. Hand cream with shea butter (30 ml)

Description: An excellent emollient cream combining 20% ​​Shea butter, honey and sweet almond extract, with a subtle, attractive aroma of jasmine and ylang-ylang. The melting texture is instantly absorbed, restoring and protecting dry and dehydrated skin. Anti-oxidant vitamin E nourishes and gives your hands freshness and new strength.
Compound: Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Glycerin, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, PEG 100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyacrylamide, Linum Usitatissimum Seed Extract (Linseed), Honey Extract (Mel), Phenoxyethanol, Cocos Nucifera Oil (Coconut) , Brassica Campestris Sterols (Rapeseed), C13 & 14 Isoparaffin, Ceteareth 33, Alcohol Denat., Chlorphenesin, Parfum (Fragrance), Althaea Officinalis Root Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Fruit Extract (Sweet Almond), Laureth 7, Methylparaben, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract (Rosemary), Glycine Soja Oil (Soybean), Xanthan Gum, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Citronellol, Hydroxyisohexyl 3 Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Coumarin, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Hexylcinnamal, Alphamethyl Ionone, Limonene
My opinion: I have a small version of the tube, there are even larger sizes. The cream is quite thick, a very pleasant smell (there really is a hint of ylang-ylang somewhere) - floral-woody, not very sharp. The cream is distributed densely over the hands, creating a greasy film, and is absorbed for a very long time. But it also nourishes very well - tightness, dryness, flaking - it removes all this perfectly. I won’t say that it’s economical, but my hands are very dry (in a month the 30 ml tube was gone, despite the fact that I used other creams at the same time). In terms of nutritional properties, for me it can only be compared with Dr. Scheller (which, by the way, protects better from the cold). This cream is also good in cold weather; your hands become less red and sore from the cold. The cuticle also becomes softer, the nails peel less (although this may be a coincidence). I will definitely buy this cream again, because... he has few analogues (only the mentioned Dr. Scheller and Caudalie). But there is a minus - it nourishes while you use it, you can’t expect a long-term effect, and it’s not enough for the whole day; it barely lasts half a day (if you don’t mess around in the water, etc.), although for my hands this is an achievement.
Grade: 5-
Price: 386 rub.

14. Caudalie - Hand and Nail Cream. Exquisite hand and nail cream (75 ml)

There wasn't enough cream to swatch :(
Description: Antioxidant and nourishing care with a charming, delicate and refreshing aroma of sweet orange pulp with soft nuances of almond and delicate rose water. Does not leave a greasy film. Designed for those who want to have an anti-aging nourishing cream for hands and nails.
Compound: Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Tocopheryl Acetate, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil Unsapionfiables, Dimethicone, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Caprylyl Glycol, Acrylates/C10- 30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Palmitoyl Grape Seed Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide, Carbomer, Sodium Carboxymethyl Betaglucan, Tocopherol, Gerianol, Limonene, Linalool.
Review: There-taram! *fanfare* Favorite cream. Divine cream:) There are no words, what a fairy tale this is. Not a thick (medium thickness) cream, glidingly and easily distributed over the hands, with a divine smell - I can clearly hear oranges and almonds in it, while the smell is gentle, “warm”, not citrus-piercing, but enveloping, sweet. The smell alone would make it worth buying this cream. But the aroma is not its only advantage. The cream is absorbed quite quickly, does not leave a greasy film, I calmly use it on the go, without fear of “greasy” things. It perfectly nourishes the hands, not moisturizes, but rather nourishes. And not only the skin of my hands, but also the cuticles, nails and even elbows (I also smear them with it) - everything gets in order. Any degree of discomfort, irritation, dryness, tightness, rough skin - this cream copes with everything. The skin instantly becomes tender, soft, velvety, and you just want to touch your cheeks with your hands. For a long time I could not switch to an unedged manicure - this cream helped - the dry, rough cuticle immediately becomes soft, “adheres” to the nail, as if after a fresh manicure. With this cream, I forgot about hangnails and redness around my nails. And the nails! This is a separate topic. I never believed that hand cream could have a significant effect on the nail plate. It turns out it can. And very significant. I had brittle, peeling nails when I started using this cream - after a week there was an effect, I forgot about my nail problems. The cream has a cumulative effect - with long-term use, even if you stop smearing your hands with it, the effect remains. The skin even visually looks better. With this cream, I also began to sometimes allow myself to go without any polish at all - as soon as you apply it, it gives the “hundred-hour-polished-hour-manicure-done” effect - soft cuticles, shiny nails, soft skin. Excellent cream - I can endlessly sing its praises.
Grade: 10 out of 5.
Price: 640 rub.

19. The Body Shop - Hemp Hand Protector. Protective hand cream “Hemp” (100 ml)

Description: Intensive Hemp Hand Protector cream with a fresh herbal aroma that locks in moisture - ideal for hands that are washed frequently. Do away with rough and dry skin! Hemp seed oil has an unusually high concentration of saturated fatty acids, helping to restore skin's hydration levels - for smoothness and elasticity. Organic wax moisturizes and cares, working as a barrier - “locking in” moisture.
Compound:My opinion: The cream is in a large “iron” tube, there is also a mini version, but I don’t see the point in buying a mini one, because... the difference is only 100 rubles, and the size is absolutely “thumb-sized”. I don't even know how to describe the smell. It is quite pronounced, but not harsh. Not for everyone, but the “horrors” about him are clearly exaggerated. Of course, this is not a Caudalie or L "Occitane scent, but for me personally it’s quite pleasant, I wouldn’t even be afraid of body milk with such a smell) It smells like herbs, a little “pharmacy”, I have a cold now, but even with a cold nose I’m very I can clearly hear this smell, it also stays on my hands for a long time, although weaker. It reminds me of the smell of wormwood, only soft (I don’t know what hemp smells like:). The cream itself is VERY thick and dense, greenish, but when applied it seems to melt and spread very soft and light. At the moment of application, it feels like paraffin creams or oil - the skin is instantly nourished, all unpleasant sensations disappear. It does not take long to absorb for such a texture (for me - faster than L "Occitane, it is generally less “oily” than L "Occitane, but in terms of effectiveness I liked it more - it protects my hands longer and tolerates water better). Then there is no film, the skin is velvety, not greasy at all, no marks on things. So soft, pleasant to touch) I was pleased with the presence of panthenol in the composition . The cream perfectly protects hands from wind and water. I walked with it all day without gloves - my hands felt very comfortable and there was no redness or irritation. Of course, it is more nourishing and protective than Caudalie, but for cuticles and nails, Caudalie, IMHO, is irreplaceable (and the smell, the smell!). I am very pleased with the purchase, now I have been using this cream for a long time. For me, it is a leader compared to L"Occitane (in terms of quality of protection, less fat content and price).
Grade: 5+
Price: 390 rub.

20. The Body Shop - Hand Cream “Spicy Vanilla” (30 ml)

Description: Give your little hands a treat for the upcoming winter holidays by pampering them with a treat from The Body Shop's Christmas collection! Hand and nail cream with a warm vanilla aroma perfectly moisturizes and softens the skin, making it smooth as silk. Spiced Vanilla Hand Cream contains vanilla extract, as well as marula oil, organic soybean oil, cocoa butter and beeswax.
Compound: My opinion: This cream is from the Christmas collection (a whole series with vanilla was released). As I understand, there are no large tubes, only 30 ml. It really smells like vanilla and is a very rich, thick, but not suffocating smell. The aroma becomes softer on the hands, but lasts a relatively long time, it is sweet (not cloying), very natural vanilla, there is even a slight bitterness of real vanilla. Indeed, a magical scent for New Year's Eve :) The cream itself is nourishing, but not at all greasy, absorbs quite quickly, without leaving a greasy film. The main “trick” of the cream is, of course, the aroma, but also the protective/nutritive properties are excellent. I hope that the same one will come out permanently.
Grade: 5 (I really like the scent)
Price: 190 rub.

Now I’ll tell you a little about the creams I’ve used recently:

15. Doctor Nature - Hand and nail cream (125 ml)

Description: The cream gives you optimal care and protection thanks to its unique combination of Dead Sea minerals and plant extracts. By creating a protective film on the skin of your hands and around the cuticle, the cream provides your hands with maximum long-term hydration and nutrition. Protects the skin of your hands when using various detergents and from harmful environmental influences. Cares for your nails, making them strong and healthy. With constant use, the skin of your hands rejuvenates, becomes smooth and velvety.
My opinion: The cream is quite dense, of medium thickness, but is absorbed relatively quickly for such a texture, does not leave a film on the hands, is almost odorless (very weak, disappears quickly from the hands, smells of something floral). When applied, it quickly relieves the feeling of tightness and dryness. But it is quickly washed off with water; it will not tolerate severe frost. The nutrition is quite average and not suitable for very dry skin. It only nourishes the skin of my hands - it has no effect on my cuticles or nails. For the price it's a very good cream. I won’t buy it again, because it’s a bit weak for my hands, and I haven’t noticed any accumulative effect.
Grade: 4+
Price: 260 rub.

16. Mary Kay - Satin Hands Hand Cream. Hand cream “Velvet Hands” (85 g)

Description: The soft texture cream remains on the hands for a long time, giving a delightful feeling of smoothness. Comfort is guaranteed for many hours, even after repeated hand washing. The cream has been clinically tested for skin irritability and allergenicity.
Review: Light (not milky, but not at all thick) cream, absorbed quite quickly, but the film remains for some time. The smell is light, but “chemical” (I didn’t like it). The nutrition is below average, while I applied it the dryness went away, it was absorbed and my hands felt tight again. Nonsense cream, so to speak. I had a set from this company with gel and scrub. Together they gave a good effect, but the cream separately is complete nonsense.
Grade: 3.
Price: 300 rub.

Compound: Yarrow, nettle, horsetail, rosehip oil (sea buckthorn), lipocomp, urea, antioxidant, keratin.
Description: The cream is not thick, even runny, it is absorbed quickly, the smell is chemical, but not sharp. A friend highly recommended this cream to me and praised it as one of the best. I threw it out after a week. He not only did not nourish his hands, but also dried them mercilessly. After application, it felt like I had smeared my hands with some kind of dry silicone, which immediately dried and gave a papery effect. There is nothing more to say about him.
Grade: 1.
Price: 180 rub.

18. Yves Rocher - Arnica Essentiel. Moisturizing daily hand cream (75 ml)

Description: Do you dream of smooth and delicate hands? This lightweight cream instantly hydrates*, softens and protects skin. What is his secret? In Arnica extract - biological agriculture. This plant is known for its softening and restorative effects.
Compound: aqua, petrolatum, urea, cetyl alcohol, sorbitan stearate, Arnica Chamisonis, dimethicone, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, myristyl miristate, Prunus Dulcis, propylene glycol, stearic acid, butylene glycol, ceteareth-2 phosphate, methylparaben, parfum, phenoxyethanol, allantoin, carbomer, tocopheryl acetate, ethylparaben, sorbic acid, propylparaben, sodium hydroxide, butylparaben, tetrasodium edta.
My opinion: The cream is quite thick, but is absorbed quickly, but leaves an unpleasant feeling of “something” on the hands: it doesn’t seem to be a greasy film, but there is a feeling of “dirtyness”. The scents of this company are usually very pleasant (shower gels are already legendary), but (although I don’t know what arnica smells like) this cream has a chemical, heavy smell (I would say oriental, but it smells like chemicals). The effect of it is not nutrition, but hydration, and quite weak. There is no harm, but there is no benefit either. Water and cold are contraindicated for this cream. Several times I noticed that my skin began to itch after using this cream, although this could be a coincidence. A long time ago I had a Yves Rocher hand cream with something made from grape seeds - it was great - rich, nourishing and with a delicate scent. Alas, it has not been released for a long time. But arnica cream didn’t even stand next to the shadow.
Grade: 3.
Price: 170 rub.

It will not be a secret to anyone that hand cream is one of the most important personal care products. It is especially worth stocking up on a couple of tubes for those who want to preserve the youth of the dermis. After all, what gives away age in the first place? These are pigment spots, dryness of the epidermis, etc. Experts note that the skin of the hands also undergoes age-related changes, like the skin of the face, and if we talk about environmental influences, then much more. Therefore, there is no way to do without careful care. The rating of hand creams presented in the article will help you choose the right product. This is the only way to determine the best of the best.

What are they?

Everything is simple here, hand cream has the same classification by type as face products. These, as you might guess, are moisturizing, nourishing, restorative, anti-aging and protective products. To choose a truly high-quality one, pay attention to the label. The composition should contain oils, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, vitamins, especially A and C. The rating below is based on reviews of the best creams, as well as an analysis of their beneficial properties. In order for your hands to retain their youth, freshness, beauty, and simply remain well-groomed for as long as possible, you should carefully monitor their condition. And you definitely can’t do without a good, high-quality cream.

What and why

So, to choose the right product, you should know what to choose from:

  • Moisturizers are the type of product that should always be with you. In your purse, on your desk, on your bathroom shelf, in your car. In general, where you visit most often. Cosmetologists recommend paying attention to products that contain plant oils, glycerin, and aloe. The rating of the best moisturizing hand creams is based on these indicators. This cream should be used at least twice a day, and ideally after each hand washing. This is also a real salvation for those whose hand skin is prone to excessive dryness. This is because such products are denser in texture.
  • Regenerating creams are the number one lifesaver. This is because such products contain elements that have a calming effect. Make sure that the product contains panthenol, shea butter, and so on. The purpose of this cream is to nourish, moisturize and soften the skin of the hands.
  • Anti-aging products must contain anti-aging components. Pay attention to the label. The composition should contain hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamin A. However, the effect can only be achieved if you use the cream on a regular basis. After just a month, the skin on your hands will become elastic, smooth and soft. And if you use the product according to the instructions on a regular basis, you can keep your skin in perfect condition for a long time. Let this bottle always be in your purse.

The main thing is to choose the right product. The rating of the best hand creams is based on reviews. It is through analyzing the opinions of customers that you can create an objective list of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the proposed products.

What components should be included in the cream?

To choose a truly high-quality product, you will have to carefully study the label. So, the cream should contain the following elements:

  • Silicones - their task is to form the texture of the cream, thanks to which a protective barrier is created, as a result of which the skin is not susceptible to environmental influences.
  • Urea - the task of this component is to have a beneficial effect on the regeneration of skin cells, thereby increasing the level of moisture.
  • Glycerin - the scope of action of this component is to immediately smooth and moisturize the skin of the hands. This creates a kind of barrier that retains moisture.
  • Vitamin E is a well-known antioxidant.
  • Shea butter - provides nutrition.

The correct composition of the cream is the key to success. Everything described above is taken into account in the rating of hand creams. The 10 best remedies are presented below. Only natural composition and beneficial nutrients will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin of the hands.

Hand cream. Rating of the 10 best

Two indicators on which the choice of the right product is based are the type of epidermis and the time of year. Those who have sensitive skin should test it on a small area of ​​the palm before using the product. If the cream does not behave aggressively within 24 hours, you can safely continue to use the product. For normal hand skin, creams of both light and thick texture are suitable. However, it is better to choose lotions and hand milk; they are absorbed much faster and do not leave sticky marks.

As for seasonality, products that protect the skin from the sun are suitable for the summer period. In spring, use your regular moisturizer. In autumn and winter, give preference to a nourishing product so that dry indoor air does not bother your hands.

Hand creams for cracks and dryness should be in the arsenal of every lady. They will not only prevent the appearance of these unpleasant painful symptoms of skin damage, but also heal existing ones. Today we propose to consider the causes of cracks and creams that will help get rid of them. Let's get acquainted with the rating of the best, find out reviews about them, and also learn how to prepare the cream yourself.

    Causes of dry and cracked hands

    Not every person can boast of the absence of skin problems. Not only women, but men and children can suffer from cracked and dry hands; they can also benefit from creams. The fact is that, even without using washing products, you can ruin the epidermis. Irritation is caused by unfavorable environmental conditions and various diseases. Why do our hands one day begin to dry out and cracks appear on them, causing discomfort?

    1. Household chemicals often cause this disease. A variety of detergents and cleaning products make our home cozy, but have a negative impact on the skin. The chemical composition is harmful; in addition, the constant use of water and household chemicals dehydrates the epidermis and washes away the protective layer from it. At first there is a feeling of tightness, but with frequent contact with chemicals, peeling may appear, then severe dryness of the skin and even cracks.
    2. At work or at home, skin may come into contact with aggressive chemicals, which cause the development of contact dermatitis. This disease causes a variety of skin problems, including rashes, dryness and cracked skin.
    3. Lack of hand care, or it is incorrect.
    4. Fungi affect not only our feet, but also our hands. Symptoms: dryness, cracks in the skin, changes in the shape and color of the nail plate.
    5. Allergens can cause these symptoms.
    6. Psoriasis, eczema and a number of other diseases cause keratinization of the epidermis, then cracks appear.
    7. Diabetes.
    8. Vitamin deficiency, unhealthy diet.
    9. Walking down the street in winter without mittens, being under the scorching sun in summer without protective cream.
    10. Bruises, cuts and abrasions can cause dry hands.
    11. Working in the garden without protective gloves.

    As you can see, there are many reasons. Hand cream for cracks and dryness may not cope with all causes, so if symptoms appear, consult a dermatologist; you may need not only a cream, but also medication treatment. Only a correct diagnosis can help you improve the health of your epidermis.

    Composition of a good cream

    Hand creams for cracks and dryness in the pharmacy are presented in a huge assortment. You should not be guided by price, because the most expensive does not mean that it is the best and most suitable for you. Pay attention to the composition, we suggest considering an approximate one that meets all the requirements:

    1. Hand cream for cracks and dryness in winter should be one that contains mineral oil - this is a product of the oil industry, it creates an impenetrable protective layer on the epidermis. Avoid this cream in warm weather.
    2. Dexpanthenol, which is included in the composition, will help heal cracks faster. In addition, it will moisturize and give elasticity to the skin, which will prevent the appearance of dryness and cracks.
    3. The epidermis needs vitamins, especially the one on the hands. Choose products containing vitamins E, A and F.
    4. Hand cream for cracks and dryness with glycerin, urea and hyaluron will help retain moisture in the skin and restore water balance.
    5. Cream with lanolin will help soften your hands and relieve the feeling of tightness. It will prevent dryness and flaking.
    6. The oils included in the composition perfectly soften the skin and prevent the appearance of cracks. Particularly useful are carrot, shea (shea), chamomile and calendula oil, and olive oil.
    7. Plant extracts help speed up regeneration and trigger metabolic processes. The highest quality creams in this regard are those that contain grape seed extract, chamomile, pine needles, and avocado.
    8. Essential oils can not only give products a pleasant aroma, but also significantly improve the condition of the skin. So, choose products with esters of fir, lemon, mint and wheat germ.

    We suggest moving on to the rules of hygiene and using hand cream for dryness and cracks.

    Proper hand hygiene

    It seems that nothing is easier than washing your hands, waiting for it to dry, and then applying the cream. This is far from true; if you want to maintain the attractiveness of your skin, we recommend taking the advice of dermatologists.

    You should not wash your hands too often with antiseptics, they upset the alkaline balance and wash away the natural protection. Use mild detergents, this could be soap containing cream. After the procedure, use a soft towel to remove excess moisture; do not wipe the skin dry; it should be saturated with water.

    It is necessary to regularly use hand cream to prevent cracks and dryness. If you started the fight, you will not achieve a positive result by using the remedy when you remember. Apply the composition according to the instructions, massaging the skin, paying special attention to problem areas and damage.

    If you need to use detergents and other chemicals, and you are uncomfortable wearing gloves, then use a protective cream designed specifically for such cases.

    Sometimes pamper yourself and your skin with hand baths with herbs and masks. Do not forget about proper and nutritious nutrition, it greatly affects the condition of our skin. If you are on a diet and have skin problems, stop eating it.

    Any woman strives to preserve her beauty for as long as possible, investing heavily in maintaining a youthful face, but at the same time, often forgetting to pay attention to the skin on her hands. But it’s your hands that can reveal your age, so choosing a high-quality cream for dry skin on your hands should be done with special care.

    You need to take care of your hands regularly, especially in the winter, when the dry air of heated rooms makes the skin dehydrated. During this period, the skin needs high-quality hydration that can prevent moisture loss and maintain the normal functioning of epidermal cells.

    The skin of the hands has virtually no sebaceous glands, so it is especially vulnerable to aggressive environmental factors (dry air, hard water, contact with household chemicals). How to choose a quality cream so that the skin on your hands always looks smooth and well-groomed? You will find the answer to this question in our article.

    A high-quality hand cream should have nourishing, protective and moisturizing properties. The following components can provide this effect:

    In addition, high-quality creams for the care of aging hand skin should contain bioactive substances (plant extracts, hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin, mineral complexes) that actively care for the skin and restore its elasticity, smoothness and health.

    Criteria for a good cream

    A good hand cream for very dry skin must meet several important criteria:

    1. After using it, there is no feeling of a film on the skin;
    2. The cream is easily and quickly absorbed;
    3. After applying the cosmetic cream, the skin becomes soft and moisturized;
    4. Day cream not only softens, but also protects from the aggressive influence of the external environment.

    Hand care products are divided into moisturizing and nourishing. Moisturizing creams contain up to 80% moisture, while nourishing cosmetics have a fat base. Therefore, it is better to use moisturizers in the warm season, and nourishing creams in winter. Such creams are intended for daily use; they are applied several times a day, providing the skin with quality care.

    Cosmetics manufacturers additionally produce special products with anti-aging components. In addition to the main softening effect, they are able to smooth out fine wrinkles and lighten age spots.

    A separate group of products are protective hand creams, which have a thicker consistency. Their main function is to create a barrier film that protects the skin from the aggressive effects of household chemicals, hard water or cold in the winter. In this case, the protective barrier envelops the skin like a glove and prevents it from drying out.

    Another direction is medicinal creams, which have an intense effect and promote active regeneration and healing of rough skin with microcracks. Such products are not intended for daily use; they should be used occasionally, as needed.

    You need to choose hand cream based on the condition of your skin; try not to buy a product under the influence of advertising or because a close friend uses the same product. Be sure to test it before purchasing to see how effective it is and whether it suits your skin. Carefully study the composition, look for cosmetics containing natural oils, plant extracts, panthenol, glycerin, allantoin, which will provide an optimal effect on dry skin.

    The consistency of the cream is very important. It should be absorbed quickly, not leave a sticky feeling and not create an airtight film. Film formation is allowed only in cases where the object of choice is a protective cream with silicone.

    The shape of the tube also plays an important role. It is recommended to use hand cream several times during the day, so the packaging should be convenient and compact so that the care product can be put in a handbag. The most convenient form is a small bottle with a dispenser or a tube with a snap-on cap.

    Experts recommend purchasing a high-quality cream for dry hand skin at a pharmacy or a specialized cosmetics store, where professional consultants will help you make a choice and choose the best option in terms of price-quality ratio. A review of the most popular and well-known brands of creams intended for hand care will help you not to get confused in the extensive range of cosmetic products.
