I know there isn't anything like best hand cream as its to his own, but would love suggestions on cheap+good hand creams for dry skin?

I love the Nivea soft creme moisturiser, it's light enough for your face, hands and body. I buy the big tub for my face / body but you can buy the smaller tube for around $6 at the supermarket. 
I get dry hands and ragedy cuticles in winter and this moisturizes really well. It's the whipped conterpart of the orginal creme in the blue tin, so it's much lighter and goes a super long way.

Best hand cream in the world is Dr Lewinns. Smells great and absorbs so quickly. is abit pricey compared to others but well worth the money I think =] xx.

i love the MOR cosmetic ones, they smell amazing, and super hydrating. I get super dry hands. Always putting hand cream on after doing the dishes, after washing my hands etc, and it makes them super hydrated, and smelling yummy.

Nivea Q10 is cheap and good, but I recently bought a Burt's Bees one and it is really rich and long lasting, but a nice smell too.

Yes, I second Trilogy's Ultra Hydrating and Weleda's Skinfood. I have really dry hands that are eczema prone and a combination of those hand creams before bed helps keep it at bay and from getting itchy and overly dry.

I used to have super dry hands but discovered The Body Shop hemp hand protector and haven't had a problem since. It is amazing. I apply it before I go to sleep and wake up with super soft hands. You can go and ask for a sample to try it out before you buy too. I can't live without it now.

The brand MOR does some really nice hand creams! I have the blackcurrant on and I love it! I have had it for almost a year now and it is amazing! Also OPI has a rang of hand creams that benefits your nails too. They have sample/travel sized bottles your can buy an try out for cheap at Farmers!

KrystleF, so good right! 
 
The hemp lip balm is awesome too.
 
 
I also really like The Aromatherapy Company ones. They smell amazing and are reasonably priced.

I've heard quite a few raves about the Bodyshop Hemp handcream. I will have to get a sample the next time I go by the Bodyshop.

I have used quite a few handcreams but the stand outs for me are Trilogy's Ultra Hydrating Hand cream and Living Nature if you're after a hydrating and non-greasy handcream and Oasis Rhino Repair and Weleda Skin food at night. If you're after a cheaper option Aveeno's Intense Relief Handcream is really good for leaving your hands moisturized but not really greasy.

My hands are the most neglected . I've also heard that the Body Shop Hemp hand cream is good. I might pick one up on the next Bucket sale.

I am just using Vit E oil and Jojoba oil.  I am trying to get my hands looking less "old" and more smooth and soft. Only started this combination a week ago so to early to notice whether or not there is any change. Definitely cheap!

The aromotherapy ones are great and if you live in Auckland there is a factory shop in Onehunga on the main street up the top not in the mall

I dont't have a best hand cream and i've tried a couple in the last year. I like the essano one i have tried and also a palmers one. Currently using Mmm...that's nice Feijoa & Ginger Body lotion as a hand cream and it's nice too. A different scent but not over powering.

My hands are always super dry and can get eczema sometimes so my doctor recommended Aveeno. It's unscented too so i like using it. :) i keep a small tube in my handbag. It can get greasy at first though.

I used the feijoa lotion that I got in the trial as a handcream too! Currently using the palmer cocoa budy butter as a handcream since it's winter. It's quite a thick cream and it feels like a glove of moisture over my hands. Also it smells like chocolate!

I sometimes suffer with contact dermatitis on my hands, and they end up looking very dry and flaky. I find the only cream that really work for my dry hands is a Oasis Beauty’s Rhino Repair, but it has to be small amounts applied often, or if I’m sitting watching TV or reading, a good dollop and then covered with a pair of cotton gloves.

I work in a laboratory with lots of nasties so I wash and sanitize my hands countless times a day (as well as wearing skin drying latex gloves), so I need a hand cream that is going to reverse the dryness...the best I have found is The Body Shop Hemp hand protector, it really lives up to the hype. A bit more expensive than hand creams I've used in the past but it's the best I've used so worth the extra $$$
