I received this product from Smiley 360 for free for review purposes.
Here is the product info from the Smiley 360 website:
The skin’s natural barrier can be damaged. This damage to the skin barrier leads to increased water loss, which creates dry and cracked skin. O’Keeffe’s® Working Hands® not only protects skin from further water loss, but also draws moisture into the skin, utilizing a humectant. The protective barrier seals in that moisture, reducing the rate of evaporation.
I work in a skilled nursing facility so I am constantly washing my hands and using drying hand sanitizer, so I was excited to try out this product. Now, I don't have cracked skin but my hands often feel tight and dry at the end of the day. I have dry and sometimes cracked cuticles as well so I was hopeful for this product. I've been using this product for about a month now and it has its pros and cons.
Moisturizing yet light formula
Little to no fragrance
Blends into the skin quickly
Feels good on the skin
Cons:
Packaging: this product comes in a tub with a screw on lid. I prefer a squeeze tube or pump.
Can be greasy if you use too much (the packaging specifically says that a little goes a long way)
I don't feel that the moisture lasts for a long time. My hands feel dry each night despite daily use.
I've also used this cream on my husband's wrists where he's been dealing with really dry flaky skin. He didn't like it because he said if felt greasy. He's not a huge lotion/cream guy to begin with.
I think that you can't have a heavy duty moisturizer without some level of greasiness. I would save this cream for night time. I don't think that this is a cream that can be reapplied throughout the day
Overall, I'm still kind of on the fence about this product. I don't think I'd purchase this because I prefer the hand lotions that Bath and Body Works sells (partly because of the scents) and I feel like I can reapply them all day without any greasy feeling.
