For me it isn't so much WHAT I use, but WHEN I use it. When my hands get really dry I slather them before I go to bed. In the morning they are much softer. Also after I have washed my hands and they are damp, I slather them and go read for a while till the cream has penetrated. You can even put on a pair of gloves for a while.
