Summary: Best stuff out there..
Comment: I get dry skin on my hands and feet compliments of my mother.. The type of work I did in my younger days didn't help matters any.
During my 20's and 30's it wasn't much of a problem, now at 47, the past few years have been the worst. Especially during the winter months.
After a horrible last year trying to make do with over the counter preparations, and even a wasted trip to a podiatrist or two, I decided to get serious about this problem.
So I did some research on the net and ordered all sorts of products, even spending a fair number of dollars down at the local Bath and body store, mostly for naught. Most of the products were either greasy, oily, has objectionable smells or just plain didn't work.
I narrowed it down to two products. Okeefe's and one of the beeswax type treatments.
Hands down this is the best product I've used on my hands, cheaper as well. And miraculously it contains no oil. In fact after application you'll be hard pressed to tell it's even there. But trust me, it is.
The beeswax stuff is a good product as well, and works quite well. But they must add mineral or some other type of oil to make the beeswax workable. If you had your hands in water all day, the beeswax product may last longer.. But for daily application in the majority of circumstances, I believe Okeefe's is the superior product. It's cheaper as well.. It uses a similar wax, a small amount of paraffin to seal in moisture, but it's much less noticeable and doesn't make your hands shine.
Whereas the beeswax product only seals in moisture, Okeefe's draws moisture to your hands and seals it in. So it's doing multiple things at the same time. Don't ask me to explain further, it just works.
For you folks that don't know how to apply a stiff cream like this out of a tub. It's real simple. Just scrape a small amount with the back of your thumb nail and place it on the back of your hand. Then rub the back of your hands together until its almost gone, then rub the rest into your palms and fingertips. You wont believe the hydration you feel immediately. And like I said in a few minutes you'll be hard pressed to tell there's anything there, until in a few days you notice your hands looks years younger and you've seen the end of cracked skin in the winter time.
Use it after you shower, after you wash dishes and before bedtime until your hands are healed.. Then once or twice a day.

Summary: O'Keeffe's truly works
Comment: There was a 3-year period when I used to suffer from frequent skin splitting at the ends of my thumbs and first fingers. I tried various skin lotions and cremes (including O'Keeffe's creme in a tube) but nothing was helping, so I needed to masking-tape my thumbs and first fingers - keeping the tape on 24 hours a day. It was a real nuisance.
Then about 8 months ago, I found out about O'Keeffe's Working Hands paste in a small jar (it's listed on Amazon as a creme, but it's really more of a paste). I thought I'd give it a try and I'm so glad that I did! I started putting it on my thumbs and first fingers ends, just after I got into bed at night. I didn't apply it during the day - just at night. And two weeks later, the splits had healed. I've continued to use it most nights, and in the last 8 months my skin has not split even once. What a relief!
I also maybe once a week apply it to the heels of my feet, again at night time. The former trouble I used to have with excess callousing, has disappeared. My heel skin is now much, much softer. O'Keeffe's has another product that is designed more for feet, but I haven't needed to try it, as the Working Hands works just fine for me.
The 3.4 oz jar looks like it's going to last me about 9 months. A little goes a long way.

Summary: Can't live without it!
Comment: This is an excellent hand creme. I don't think there is any better. My hands were always dry and sometimes cracking. I spent a small fortune on lotions and cremes that really did not work.
Working Hands does work and it is guaranteed to work. It is non greasy. The first day I used it, I thought it felt really funny. Like a powder coating on the skin. Now I love the way it feels. I know it is working.
I put it on about twice a day and always at night before climbing into bed. I have my hands in water a lot during the day. I no longer worry about washing my hands so much, or cleaning and doing dishes. I will be stocking up on more. This product works.

Summary: Works great!
Comment: I've been using Working Hands for several years. My understanding is it was developed by a pharmacist in Oregon. The main ingredient is glycerin which gives it the somewhat strange feel mentioned by others. It works simply by drawing and keeping moisture on the skin. I have had problems with skin cracking by my fingernails to the point of bleeding, especially during cold, dry weather. After trying every creme on the drug store shelf with little luck, I read a news article about Working Hands' inventor and bought a jar. Unbelievable! It helps heal the cracking in a couple of days and if I use it before the cracking gets going, I can avoid the problem altogether. Trust me, this stuff works.

Summary: O'Keeffe's Working Hands Skin Therapy Hand Creme
Comment: This is the best hand creme we've ever used. I am a potter and have my hands in water and clay all day and this product is amazing. My husband works outside and his hands use to split/crack and bleed and they hurt..... Working Hands has completely eliminated this. We've been using it for about two years and we won't use anything else. It works as well on feet also. We always buy the 3.4 oz jar ..... we've tried the tube - it has a thinner consistency and does not work as well. We keep a jar in each vehicle and each bathroom as well as the shop and studio. They last a long time because it only takes a small amount to make your hands feel wonderful. I've recommended it to other potter friends and they use it exclusively now. It is not scented so doesn't interfere with perfumes. You have to give this product a try....you won't be sorry!
