"Gloves in a Bottle is a really good brand for that because it's still very lightweight. It's not thick and greasy, but it's formulated in a way that stays on the hands better through multiple rounds of hand washing. I've had a lot of people who work in food service or in hospitals and healthcare use it, and it really improves their hand dermatitis."

"My all-time favorite hand lotion is gloves in a bottle. This is the best, especially for hand lotion that you have to apply during the day, because it's non-greasy. It essentially forms this very thin film barrier over your hands so it doesn't transfer to other things—you can go type on your computer afterward or turn a doorknob and not leave sticky handprints behind—but it's like this barrier of protection. So if you are inadvertently coming in contact with potential hand irritants over the course of the day, your hands are additionally protected."

"I was first introduced to this product by my co-resident during my dermatology training and I've kind of been hooked ever since. It really lives up to its name gloves in a bottle because it creates this protective film on your hands that lasts. Initially I was like oh I don't really want that like that sounds kind of nasty but the reality is people who suffer from eczema on their hands or just general dry skin or irritation because in their job they're chronically exposed to irritant, this creates this protective film so that every time they wash their hands or every time they touch something they don't have to worry about introducing new irritation. Although it leaves this protective film on your hands it doesn't feel greasy or sticky or heavy and you're not leaving fingerprints on everything you touch. I love a thick greasy hand cream for nighttime but during the day I want to apply my hand cream and then be able to kind of move on with my life and this allows you to do that."
