cracked aplit hands

I use Aveeno, the one that has oats in it. It works really good for me during the winter.

Thanks for all the ideas. I am writing them down and will buy some this week when I go to the store.

There is a cream called Lac-Hydrin, it is a prescription cream, but works wonders for dry cracked skin

I use Eucerin Calming Creme & when they're really bad Eucerin Plus. I have a perfume allergy so both are fragrance free. I just looked at the ingredients & neither one has lanolin unless it is listed under another term I'm not familiar with. Good Luck!

I have had a lot of luck with Eucerin - it has lanolin in it, so make sure you are not allergic. A great one that is hard to find comes in a "dairy cow" black and white jar or tube and also has lanolin in it. I've tried many products, but have found that my skin responds to the lanolin-containing products are the best for me by far.

My hands don't crack, but my heels do. I use Flexitol Heel Balm. I guess it might also help with my hands since I use my hands to apply it and I rub the excess on my elbows to eliminate dry skin there as well.

Me too. I'm constantly trying new lotions, haven't found the perfect one yet. I'm going to check out the dermal therapy, haven't seen that one, thank you kdroberts. One thing that helps me is always wearing those thick rubber gloves while washing dishes. And once when my fingertips were real bad, I coated them with neosporin at night and then put on those thin plastic gloves to sleep in.

I have a mild problem with really dried skin. I use Gold Bond Healing lotion and it seems to work super fast for me. Good Luck.

I have the same problem. I got a free bottle of dermal therapy body lotion and its by far the best lotion I've tried and I've tried a lot! They have a lot of different products and I would assume they are all good based on what I tried.
