Naptime yet? 08:22 AM 12-07-2013
Is there a product that you swear by for dry, cracked hands? I've tried everything, from lanolin to OTC lotions, but nothing seems to help. I currently use Corn Huskers Lotion & socks (at night, maybe I should do this during the day, haha), but my knuckles are once again cracked & bleeding by day's end. Any suggestions will be appreciated & tested 
. Thanks!
. Thanks!

Our family uses Gold Bond Healing lotion. http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Ulti...d+bond+healing
I use it because I wash my hands 50 billion times working at a center. My sons and DH have year round exzema- but worse in the winter. This is the only thing that helps all of us. We've even used prescription creams which don't work as good as this.
I love it because it's quick to go on (unlike some of the heavy duty thick creams) and isn't greasy.
It's a bit spendy but totally worth it

Lately I've been using Gold Bond Eczema Relief cream. It's worked better than anything else I've tried.

Gold Bond Healing Cream was recommended to me here and I agree, it works really well. I paid 11.00 for a pump bottle.
I need something for my feet.
They're horribly cracked and peeling.

O wow, that link above, Gold Bond is only 8.47 as an add-on(if you place an order of 25. or more). Thanks for posting that pandamom! Just placed it in my cart.

Another Gold Bond Healing Lotion user here. I love that it goes on without feeling greasy.

The dermatologist recommended CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for my DD's eczema. It's called cream, but it feels/looks like lotion, not thick/gooey and it's absolutely AMAZING! Clears up her stubborn eczema very, very quickly. It's about $15 for a 16oz tub, but it is worth the money. It is the only lotion I will use for the kids or myself.

We use Gold Bond Diabetic. My skin feels instantly hydrated... and as much as I've been washing my hands lately they're soooo dry.
Luna 05:06 PM 12-07-2013
I also use Cerave as recommended by my doctor. Frequently!

Vermont bag balm in the green square metal can it is petroleum jelly lanolin and an antiseptic cream all together I garden and have sensitive skin. It works wonders for me. I find it also works for diaper rash but I only use it on my grandkids. They call it magic cream

Gold Bond or Aveno but.. maybe invest in gloves to save your hands.
Sterile gloves for changing diapers, a lined rubber set for cleaning and another set for dishes.
I never wash dishes without gloves - even in the summer time. It feels weird at first but you get used to it.
Also, avoid the anti-bacterial soaps in the bathroom. They are murder on skin!

I use the Gold Bond Softening (with Shea Butter). Love it. There are better ones, but this is my fave for the price.
