This is a wonderful product for dry hands! It’s a wonderful product for hand protection too, if you are a gardener, a potter, or an artist working with pastels, etc. This is a Barrier lotion, that seals in your skin’s natural moisture to allow the skin on your hands to actually heal from within and stay healed. It can also help resist the finger and nail staining that plagues some gardeners and artists, too. (For gardeners: to prevent soil-staining under the nails, put a bit of lotion in your palm, and scrape your nails through it to get the lotion well under the nails.)
For most people, their hands will feel more moisturized, softer, silkier and instantly transformed after their first application. But, it is NOT a greasy topical balm that simulates moistened skin—it is a smooth and soothing protective barrier for the skin that prevents hands from being repeatedly stripped of their natural oils and moisture as a result of repeated hand-washing.
For those who complain each hand-washing had removed it—it didn’t! Once it is completely dry, it doesn’t get removed by hand-washing. The first subsequent hand-washing only sluices off the EXCESS of lotion that had been applied. It might be necessary to reapply it, though, if you wash your hands more than several times within a 4-hr. period, or if you wash your hands a few times with an extremely harsh detergent or cleaner of some kind.
For most average users, though, applying a drop of it just a couple of times a day will likely be sufficient. For those with extremely or excessively damaged skin, it might take a couple of days of using it before you actually notice the healing process is taking place. It worked great for me on my dry, rough, sore skin upon the very first application of it, so I didn’t have that sort of a problem, but I suppose one could add some other kind of greasy cream or balm once the Gloves in a Bottle had dried completely, if that would make someone more comfortable while the healing process was taking place. Once the skin has healed, I would think just using this lotion would be sufficient to keep hands that way.
For those who complain it flakes when applied repeatedly—you are using Wayyyy too much of it, and probably using it way too often, too! Only a small drop of this is necessary, and it works best when applied immediately after washing your hands and while they are still damp. So little of this lotion is necessary for each application that a bottle of it lasts a very long time, which actually makes it a fairly inexpensive product to use in the long run.
I’ve been using this product for a few years now and wouldn’t want to be without it. No request from the maker of this product to leave a positive review of it has ever accompanied any purchases of it that I have made, so my review is completely and totally voluntary, and not influenced by anything except by my own experience as a user of this product. I consider it an extraordinary product that delivers superb results.
That being said, if anyone suspected they might have suffered a severe sensitivity or allergic reaction to some ingredient in the product, I’d recommend they not continue to use it, of course. For anyone else who didn’t get the immediate results they’d expected, however, I’d strongly suggest giving the product a reasonable try and a reasonable length of time to help heal their hands. It’s really a remarkable product!

It dries your hands out at first but keep using it...
Yes it will dry your hands out when you first start using it. This is normal! I don't know why lol but every winter for the last 15+ years I've used this and when I first start using it, for the first week or two, it will dry my hands out (see photo) but as long as I keep using it things will change. This stuff is a total life saver for anyone who is in healthcare, washes their hands constantly, is exposed to chemicals/water frequently, works in dry environments or stuff like cardboard which zaps the normal oils from your skin! Thankfully my skin doesn't crack from dryness but my dad's (eczema) and sister's hands so (OCD/frequent hand washing) and as long as they use this as soon as they notice their skin drying out then they don't develop those cracks, but once they set in it takes forever to get them healed.
