What the gurus are saying

The gurus who reviewed it praise the formula for doing real repair work on painful cracks and fissures, particularly for people in trades, healthcare, or restaurant work where hands face constant stress. What stands out is the short, clean ingredient list with no fragrance or essential oils, which means those with sensitive skin won't worry about extra irritants. The consensus tip: wear it overnight with cotton gloves, or apply right after a shower and let it sink in for 15 to 30 minutes, and people tend to wake up with noticeably smoother hands the next day.

"I love that Costco has stepped up and has featured O'Keeffe's Working Hands at Costco and it's on sale right now at my local Costco. I love that it's not a very long ingredient list, so great for those with sensitive skin who don't want all the other extras, essential oils and such that could irritate your hands. Every ingredient in this is serving a purpose. You have the mineral oil, you have urea, you have humectants, all those things that help draw water but help heal with those cracks and splits in your fingertips that are just so painful. So great for those with landscaping, construction, and mechanics work. O'Keeffe's Working Hands will help soothe. And if you fall asleep with the hand moisturizer with cotton line gloves, next day you're going to feel like your hands are much smoother and they might help heal those fissures much faster."

"This arm feels a little bit more supple with the O'Keeffe's. On my arms, I do feel more protected by the O'Keeffe's. I would say this round has got to go to the O'Keeffe's."
Top Pick: hand moisturizer

"O'Keeffe's Working Hands is one of my favorite moisturizers. It's loaded in stearic acid and allantoin to create a nice protective barrier over your skin. I would use this on my hands and sometimes I go to sleep with it depending on how dry it is, or I just do it for like 15 to 30 minutes after the shower to really allow for that moisture to get absorbed into my hands. This is an amazing hack especially for healthcare workers or those who wash their hands or work in restaurants or at bars and their hands are constantly exposed to fluids. This will save your little fingers and digits and hands."
