I use CANUS. Goat's Milk Moisturizing Lotion. I have lots of allergies and dry skin and this works well. It is not at all greasy. It is made in Canada and US address is Waterbury, Vermont, 802-2441372. I have used many of the previously mentioned ones but really prefer this one.

When using hand cream only use a very small amount first. Rub this into hands, if more is needed use small amounts each time. If you start out with a large amount of cream it is almost impossible to rub in all into your hands without leaving a greasy film on hands.

Eucerin original cream in a jar helps. Use it at night, with cotton gloves on if you can. This really helps skin become soft and healthy.
For day use, Cerave is really good. It is not sticky or greasy like the Eucerin but has a similar effect. The cream version in a jar is better than the lotion, IMO, because it is heavy enough to stay on until you wash it off. Cerave is not available in all pharmacies, so you may need to check a few before finding it.

I just checked out the Bee Bar site. It really looks good! I wondered if you meant Burt's Bees, which I've tried, but it didn't work well for me. I may try this. Normally, I prefer unscented lotion, but recently I've been using an Avon vanilla scented lotion and just love it. Bee Bar has both, plus lavender and another one (tropics?). Thanks, jijack!
I have some Eucerin now, but I don't care for it at all. I've tried the Avon heavy duty cream and it's one of those that turns my hands bright red. I've tried Keri, no luck. Cornhusker's Lotion, no luck. I've used Vaseline's Intensive Care on and off after they did away with my beloved ActiveHands :cry: and it feels good on my hands, but it doesn't have the healing properties that the ActiveHands had. I'm going to try some of the ones mentioned, too. It's very hard to work with fabric when your fingers are all wrapped in bandaids. (Not to mention how hard it is to pick your nose. :mrgreen: )
