What the gurus are saying

It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy while still providing lasting hydration, making it especially suited to frequently-washed hands. Ceramides, dimethicone, and dione restore the skin barrier and improve skin softness, while hyaluronic acid maintains moisture and niacinamide helps calm irritation. The fragrance-free formula is ideal for sensitive skin.

"The CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream 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, 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. It also has dione, which is a really important ingredient that you'll find in hand creams, it helps condition the skin, which will improve its softness and flexibility. Also contains hyaluronic acid, which is essential for maintaining skin's moisture balance and helps give skin a smooth, plump texture. This does have a little bit of niacinamide, which will help calm the skin and reduce transepidermal water loss and increase moisture in the skin's uppermost layer."

"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.
