Reddit reviews Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Creme, 2.7 Ounce

this stuff.

I own aquariums and have cats and dogs (I used to have rats! RIP Margo and Lilac). I am also a nurse, so I am constantly washing my hands.

• Don't use alcohol based hand sanitizers.
  
  
• Get a moisturizing hand soap for home (I use softsoap, its pretty cheap).
  
  
• I use these gloves when I am rearranging/cleaning out my aquarium to protect my skin from the chemicals.
  
  
• This hand cream is awesome. Even if you just apply it in the morning when you wake up, and at night before bed, you will notice a difference. Its small enough that I can keep it in my scrub pockets and apply it after washing my hands every once in a while throughout the day.
  
  
• You can slather your hands in moisturizer/vaseline before bed and put on some gloves like these while you sleep. I have tried it a few times, and it makes my hands soft, but it feels weird to sleep with gloves on.
  
  
• You could try using something like New-Skin on your hangnails instead of band aids to protect them from bacteria while they heal. They are less unsightly and the rats are less likely to pick them off.
  
  Those are all the tips I can think of right now! Hopefully something in there is useful!

The gold bond moisturizing sanitizer is great! The pharmacy techs at my pharmacy use it (one guy in particular highly recommends it). Got some for my brother who works at a homeless shelter, he recommends it as well. I, as a former preschool teacher for many years, also highly recommend it. I also recommend washing your hands with soap and water whenever possible too. Then slathering on some good lotion. I really like a few lotions and potions for my hands too:

-kiehl's ultimate strength hand salve, http://www.kiehls.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-kiehls_us-Site/default/mProduct-Show?pid=522

-eucerin intensive repair hand cream, http://www.amazon.com/Eucerin-Intensive-Repair-Extra-Enriched-Creme/dp/B001699TI8

-lubriderm intensive care (or repair?...something along those lines), https://www.lubriderm.com/products/advanced-therapy-lotion

-Neutrogena Norwegian formula, http://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Norwegian-Formula-Cream-Fragrance-Free/dp/B000052YP6 (this is thick so you only need a little. You can also put it on just the tops of your hands if need be).

-o'keefe's working hand cream. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/o%27keeffe%27s-working-hands-hand-cream/ID=prod6105622-product

The Neutrogena and working hands seem to put a pretty good barrier on so when you wash your hands, you aren't washing it all off. Helps to hold in moisture as well.

Good luck and have fun teaching!! :)

I don't have eczema but I second Eucerin as a fantastic brand for hand creams. I use this product and it makes my hands so soft within seconds of application, I can't feel any roughness whatsoever afterwards (it's the AHA, which does increase sensitivity to sunlight so wear sunscreen during the day if that worries you). Topping it off with Vaseline/Aquaphor and putting gloves on at night on like /u/applepeels said will really lock in the moisture longterm.

I don't know how to make links into hyperlinks, sorry! Anyway, I looove the one I linked to. I slather it on at night and it leaves my hands glowing, no white lines anywhere anymore. Even helps make my nails beautiful!

This. I use it for my hand eczema. It absorbs well and is forms almost a protective glove over your skin without being sticky or noticeably there.

Urea is a miracle on feet.

I use this Urea 40 cream at night, then top it off with Eucerin Advanced Repair for extra moisture.

My feet have never been this soft. I don’t have to use a pumice or go to get pedicures any more.

Eucerin makes a urea/AHA cream that you can buy at Walgreens and use with the gloves you already have. There are other creams with more of the active ingredients, but this one is cheap and you can buy it locally.
