Question Favorite Hand Cream?

I've been using Crabtree & Evelyn Summer Hill Hand Therapy, and I love it! I shouldn't be a brat over the price, considering a 3.4 fl. oz tube for $14 has lasted me about 3.5 years. Granted, I also don't use it all day every day. I'm debating on whether or not I should switch to a different, cheaper hand cream, or just get the larger 8.5 fl. oz. bottle for $21 (I'm sure that'll last AGES).

Anywho! I figured I'd see what hand creams you all like. Brand, scent, and price would be good to know too. I preferrably want something that's non-greasy, long-lasting (as in I almost don't need to reapply after washing my hands at least once), and has shea butter in it. I've heard L'Occitane is good, but it's almost as much as Crabtree.. Actually more since it's $25 for a 5.2 fl. oz tube

Re: Favorite Hand Cream?

I don't really have a favorite, but I use St. Ives, or Neutrogena ......I also like Glysomed, It makes your hand feel like your wearing a silk glove.
None of them really have any smell, but they work at keeping dry hands at bay, and don't feel greasy.
Hope that Helps

Re: Favorite Hand Cream?

I broke down and went cheap for not... I got CVS brand Healthy Hands (their version of Vaseline's), and it smells nice and moisturizes well. I also got Johnson's Extra Care Hand Cream since it was half off, and it seems okay. Lasted through at least one handwashing (it's supposed to last up to 24 hours). I'll probably still cave and get my Crabtree though LMAO!

Re: Favorite Hand Cream?

I like to use neutrogena's norweigan formula or gold bond's ultimate healing lotion, those two are my HG.

Re: Favorite Hand Cream?

I third the L'occitaine recommendation. I use the shea butter one, it's my HG.

Re: Favorite Hand Cream?

I 4th it (L'occitaine).
i use it every time i go to sephora.

but what i cant live without is the body shops hemp hand protector.
its like $12 and lasts forever (and i use it several times a day).

they also have a travel size of it for like $5 i think, i keep that in my backpack/purse all the time. but its good size if you want to try it out.

Re: Favorite Hand Cream?

Now I'm really intrigued! What's so great about the L'Occitane hand creams? Is there a particular kind that's good or are they all good?

I've heard a lot about L'Occitane but i have never used it.
