With the extra hand washing I've been doing recently my hands are now cracked and red raw, I've always normally had issues with dry, chapped hands. What do you guys recommend as a decent hand repair/moisturiser cream, particularly something I can use in the day without leaving greasy marks form whatever I touch.

I use Aveeno daily moisturising hand cream. I'm on chemotherapy at the moment and it's helping to protect my skin and keep it soft.

I've been using this for a few weeks:

It smells weird, feels weird, but does an absolutely brilliant job on my hands. Using it much less that my previous product.

I use Superdrug's Soothes, creates a nice feel and not greasy.

Another vote for Aveeno, marvellous stuff.

The Sanctuary does a lovely hand cream.

My skin hates dimethicone which is in most mainstream hand cream, so I've been using Dream Cream from Lush (only mildly scented), Mother Nature's Goodies Almond and Sandalwood cream (doctored with an essential oil of choice because I didn't like the original smell), and a clove one from Yope. The Dream Cream feels very greasy if you use too much but there's a perfect amount that just feels silky, same with the MNG cream too. Relatively expensive too but they go an extremely long way.

My brother uses Aveeno because his skin is very dry but not bothered by dimethicone, and before my skin became so fussy I loved the Nivea Soft cream, pretty cheap in places like Savers compared with supermarkets.

A drop of pure glycerin rubbed into clean wet hands (then towel dry) works wonders, and no slippery/greasiness.

I suffer from the same problem. Try using dove bar soap, it is the only bar soap that works for me. I've never needed to use hand cream after.
