The hands. So often forgotten about. So often left out from a beauty regime. And yet they are so often exposed to the elements, and they're constantly on display. We really ought to look after them - epecially as we head into the cold weather, where the wind and the temperature changes as we move from hot to cold can leave them dry as the husk of an autumnal leaf.

So what lotions and potions will refresh and rejuvenate? Check out Beauty Review's Top Rated moisturisers for hands... as rated by you! 

10. Vaseline Intensive Care Hand & Nail Lotion

They say:  Our Hand & Nail Lotion is formulated just for your hands. Its conditioning moisturisers are fast absorbing and non-greasy. It nourishes completely for softer palms, fingertips and knuckles, smoother cuticles, and stronger nails.

You Say:  This is a classic hand cream that is definitely easy and no fuss. Its formula is thin enough to be spread easily and is super simply designed. Your hands feel moisturised but non greasy which I like. It definitely makes my hands smoother and more nourished. Beauty Review Member - DianaN

 

 

9. Trilogy Ultra Hydrating Hand Cream

They say:  TRILOGY Ultra Hydrating Hand Cream is a certified natural, luxuriously rich hand cream for super smooth, super soft hands. Enjoy the sophisticated scent of sweet orange, amber and vanilla as this intense hand cream sinks in to deliver intense hydration and antioxidant protection.

You say:  The consistency is smooth and creamy and has a suble fragrance. It absorbs well and your hands feel silky smooth. It lasts for ages and is one I buy again and again.  Beauty Review Member - kim_rose

 

 

 

8. MOR Handcream

They say:  MOR Handcream Delivering a rich hydrating formula your hands will be left feeling deliciously silky, smooth and moisturised. 

You say: What I love about the hand creams is that not only do they smell amazing but they're great on my skin. The consistency is not as thick as the hand creams I've tried but that's fine with me because I don't have overly dry skin so I don't need to reapply as often as others. I like that it absorbs nicely into the skin without leaving so much slip so I don't spend so much time working the product into the skin before I can do any work with my hands. Beauty Review Member - Koni

 

 

7. L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

They say:  A super-smoothing--and best-selling--synergy of 20% Shea Butter, honey and sweet almond extract, blended with the light and alluring aromas of jasmine. Texturally pleasing balm glides on and absorbs to help heal and protect dry or dehydrated skin. Anti-oxidizing vitamin E helps nourish.

You say:  This is my preferred hand cream. The texture is so smooth and moisturising. My favourite part of this product is how fast it sinks into the skin, doesn't love any residue but still leaves your hands feeling noticeably soft! Beauty Review Member - cynthia_lien

 

 

6. Trilogy Rose Hand Cream

They say:  TRILOGY Rose Hand Cream is the perfect treatment to deliver long lasting softness, soothed cuticles and strengthened nails. Enjoy the soft and sweet rose fragrance as your hands benefit from this lightweight conditioning cream. Notice the difference after just one application with this beautiful blend of rose essential oil, nutrient rich botanical extracts and conditioning shea and cocoa butter.

You say:  This is a lovely hand cream, which is a great thickness and absorbs very well. It does not leave your hands greasy and the tube seemed to last forever. I keep it in my car and am always slathering it on. The moisture lasts well and it leaves my hands feeling lovely. It's not a strong fragrance, very subtle. Beauty Review Member - leannabelle

5. Aveeno Active Naturals Intense Relief Hand Cream

They say:  This rich hydrating cream lasts through hand washing while leaving your hands feeling soft and smooth. Fast absorbing and nongreasy, it is formulated to help heal dry skin, and form a protective barrier against the elements. Leaves your hands feeling soft and smooth, and lasts through hand washing. It’s also gentle enough for sensitive skin.

You say:  This is one of my favorite hand creams by far. I am fussy when using hand creams and this one ticks all the boxes for me. A little goes a long way and it does not take long to re-moisturize dry hands. Nicely scented and good value for money. Definitely worth having this hand cream. Beauty Review Member - GinnyC

 

4. The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

They say:  Give hard-working hands maximum care and protection. This super-moisturising hand cream absorbs into the skin easily, helping to condition, soften and smooth the skin and prevent dryness. 

You say:  Absolutely incredible product! I use it on my hands on a daily basis to replenish moisture lost from washing (I wash my hands with antibacterial soap a LOT) and it is brilliant. Beauty Review Member - KamaLee

 

3. Linden Leaves Hand Cream

They say:  LINDEN LEAVES hand creams are designed to easily absorb into the skin to protect and soothe sensitive hands from everyday stresses and environmental chemicals. With soothing aloe vera to minimise irritation, rosemary for its protective antiseptic properties and sweet almond oil to nourish, smooth and hydrate.

You say:  Nice thick cream, with a subtle and appealing fragrance. The cream absorbs well and doesn't leave my hands sticky, or oily. A little goes a long way. Beauty Review Member - Qweenkaren

2. Ecostore Hand Cream

They say:  Our beautiful hand cream is a light, non-greasy formulation made from the latest generation plant-based ingredients and is enriched with jojoba oil.

You say:  I love this cream, it is definitely a great cream for people with sensitive skin, It is so inexpensive for a product so good, i find it instantly hydrates my skin and keeps moisturised, it has a beautiful fragrance also which is a nice touch. Beauty Review member - -LIANA-

The aveeno ones YES - in love!!

These hand creams are gorgeous, but women need to look to the naturally made products as well. There are many of us that make pure lotions and creams using the best of ingredients, eg Shea Butter , sweet almond oil, etc No nasties at all. Just something to think about.

6th December, 2018

Aw... how can i have missed this post. This is exactly what i need right now =D

30th May, 2018

I don’t think I’ve tried any of these, maybe I’ve had a mor hand cream once, but I’m not 100% sure!? I always just use my lush handy gurugu at nights and Avon silicone hand cream for the day.

26th May, 2018

I haven't tried any of those hand creams, but I want to try the Linden Leaves hand creams, especially the rose one

25th May, 2018

Mor and L'Occtine are so lovely. But to be honest, I tend to just use my day cream on my hands (Essano day cream at the moment), as then I've got some SPF covered on my hands too.

24th May, 2018

I have used the Ecostore hand cream, I love the fact that it is a natural product as my hands are sensitive. However my absolute favourite is the Moreish hand cream.

23rd May, 2018

I'm surprised the Neutrogena hand cream isn't on here, the iconic Norwegian-formula bottle. That's my all time favourite hand cream - so good I've used it on my eczema patches on my very sensitive face and my feet!

My second favourite is The Body Shop hand cream, but the rose-scented one, not the hemp. It's lovely and light and doesn't leave an oily residue on my hands, so I use it everyday while the Neutrogena is more of a before-bed type of cream. It also smells amazing!

I may or may not have gone through a hand cream obsession during my uni years. o_O

23rd May, 2018

The Body Shop Hemp one made my sensitive skin really itchy in addition to having an odd smell. The Trilogy Ultra Hydrating Hand Cream and the Aveeno Active Naturals Intense Relief Hand Cream were stand outs for me. I currently need to use up the hand creams I've already bought before I can buy more.

22nd May, 2018

Absolutely love Aveeno! The Norwegian handcream is a solid go-to for me as well, great price and super effective

21st May, 2018

Definitely #1! I've had the mini Aveeno in my bag for the past 8 years and I just repurchased earlier today. It has never failed me no matter where I go. :)

21st May, 2018

I've only tried the Linden leaves out of these ones. I love Olive hand cream the most.

21st May, 2018

I haven't tried any of these.

21st May, 2018

Trilogy is one I love and Linden leaves. There are so many really good hand creams and is really good to remember to use regularly as if you are like me and do a lot of gardening albeit with gloves on my hands get hard use.

21st May, 2018

Mine didn't Soap and glory has and is my saviour No more cracks on the end off my fingers:)
