There is a great hand cream that I found when my hands were very sore and cracked back in England. Its made by Neutrogena (I think) and its called the Norwegian Formula. Its what the fisherman use on their hands and it really works, your hands quickly seem to get better.
Just looked for it and yes I am right with the name and you can buy it at Amazon or Boots the Chemist in England, available on line and they have a concentrated one as well. Patti, I really recommend this
