What the gurus are saying

This hand cream absorbs fast and won't leave hands greasy, making it practical for daytime use between washes. Dermatologists praise the ceramides for restoring the skin barrier and the dimethicone for protection, which matters when hands face constant washing and cold weather. It is fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin, so anyone dealing with irritation or dryness from frequent hand-washing may want to keep it on hand throughout the day.

"It is non-greasy, super fast absorbing formula that provides long-lasting hydration and relief for hands that are frequently exposed to wash and cold weather and environmental irritants. It is completely fragrance-free, it's ideal for sensitive skin. I like using CeraVe Hand Cream throughout the day in between hand washes. The ceramides in the CeraVe Hand Cream help restore the skin's natural barrier, helping to keep the moisture in and the harmful elements out."

"I was using for the longest time a necessary Hand Cream which I love but it's kind of pricey and this I actually think it's much better. It has colloidal oatmeal skin protectant, fast absorbing, non-greasy. I mean it just instantly makes your hands look five years younger instantly just by hydrating and it's become like a favorite. I don't think I'll go back to the necessary one since I've discovered this."

"CeraVe's got a good one, the therapeutic Hand Cream. It's got dimethicone which is a skin protectant and ceramides which are good for recovery of the moisture barrier, especially with all the hand washing."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
