Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream

I have been exploring hand creams and lotions for years and years trying to find that perfect cream. I finally found it in this product. I love it! I work in the healthcare industry and am required to wash my hands up to 15-20 times a day and I wear gloves so my hands are very dry. I love this cream! It absorbs very easily, has a thick consistency when rubbing in but leaves almost no residue. I hate greasy creams and lotions for the hands so this is perfect. There is almost no scent. The only catch is the price. It's about $8 or $9 for 97mL, but then again I have tried other creams that were about 4 times more for less quantity which didn't work as well, so I am definitely sticking to this cream! Love it!

I have very dry hands. My cuticles usually split in the winter so badly, that at least one finger is cracked and bleeding at any time. Since I have started using this at night before I go to bed, my cuticles have finally begun to heal! It doesn't feel like anything special when you rub it in, but it's not greasy, and seems just ok when you first use it, but it does seem to protect my hands during the day, as they are in much better shape now! A bit more expensive than some lotions, but seems worth it to me.

This past Thanksgiving, the family and I took a road trip to the dry and chilly desert. One day into the vacation, I noticed my hands developed a slight rash. The itching began right away. My first instinct was to scratch...then it hurt...more itching. I applied regular lotion-didn't work. I applied Neosporin-didn't work. Then I moved on to a medicated ointment-didn't work. Finally, dragged myself to the store and purchased this 3.5 oz lotion for $7.95. What a waste of money! I heard that oatmeal helps with itching, but I felt like it made my hands itch even more. It didn't feel moisturizing, like the Gold Bond lotion I used and that actually helped. I finally ran back to the store and bought anti-itch cream. This eventually stopped the itch. Since, I want to get my money's worth of the lotion I am still using it. I don't know why. I still have bumps from the rash, my hands feel dry after using it. It claims to last through hand washing and moisturizes for 24 hours...nope and nope.

AMAZING! I received this as a gift and was very impressed with the quality. It goes on like a light cream, but has a lot of impact. I really like that it holds its moisture all day (even between hand washing), but doesn’t feel oily. My hands were noticeably softer and even my nails seemed stronger. It’s a little pricey for hand cream, but ideal if you have very dry hands or want a high impact cream for winter weather.
