Topping off our list is the Eucerin Advanced RepXair, which features two powerful key ingredients: urea and lactic acid.

Urea is a natural moisturizing factor that can help the skin hold onto water, keeping it looking plump and ultra-healthy. It’s also a mild keratolytic agent, which can help remove scaliness and help smooth out dehydrated skin. 

High amounts of urea have been linked to effective treatments for skin disorders related to dryness, so if you’ve got a rough case of ichthyosis or eczema-prone skin, try to look for urea in your skincare products.

The rich cream also features another cool ingredient: lactic acid. A favorite among those who have dry and sensitive skin, lactic acid is a mild exfoliant (alpha hydroxy acids or AHA) that speeds up skin cell turnover without irritating the skin. Did we mention it’s free of fragrance and non-greasy, too?

The Aveeno Intense Relief was created specifically for sensitive skin. It’s free of fragrance and non-greasy, and although it doesn’t absorb quite as quickly, it leaves the hands feeling silky smooth.

If your concern is irritated skin, this product is perfect as it contains no fragrances and generally has a mild and nourishing formula.

You’ll find a similar variation sold under another name in the US, the Aveeno Skin Relief Intense Moisture Cream.

The formulation is similar; both are free of fragrance and rich in nourishing and potent ingredients, and both contain soothing colloidal oatmeal to keep the skin moisturized in-between hand washings.

What’s great about Avenno is that you can also get a body lotion. So, you get to enjoy the benefits of the key ingredients and whole-body skin hydration.

Our pick for the best moisturizing cream is this Burt’s Bees gem. Sealed and approved by the National Eczema Association, this is one of the best hand creams for rough skin, made with sweet almond oil essential oils, vitamin E, and 99% natural-origin key ingredients. 

This is a great go-to if you wash your hands frequently and find that your skin dries quickly. The vitamin E will leave your skin soft and give it a smooth skin texture.

This cream has a soft, silky consistency that makes even just putting it on an act of self-care. 

The almond oil provides nutrients to dry, flaked skin in seconds without leaving behind any residue or a sticky sensation that often plagues many thicker creams. That way, you can keep working with your hands as usual. For me, this brand’s hand cream is a must-have in your bag.
