"This product incorporates shea butter, which is incredibly hydrating and helps to reduce irritation that so many of us are experiencing right now," says dermatologist and Credo Clean clinical expert Dr. Whitney Bowe. "I also like that this product is fragrance-free and essential oil-free because these ingredients can be irritating to skin, which is not what we want in a nourishing, healing hand moisturizer."
"Vaseline's Hand Sanitizer Lotion was made for the pandemic. It's genius," says Linkner. "Vaseline combined their tried-and-true lotion formulation with benzalkonium chloride antiseptic to save you time, money and energy in having to separate these two steps. I leave this one in my car because it's great for on the go. The formulation is very elegant and non-greasy."
"I love that this clean product includes hyaluronic acid which locks in moisture to help you achieve hydrated, healthy skin," says Bowe. "Specifically, it's a sugar gel that's found naturally inside your body — in fact, it's the cushion that keeps your bones from rubbing against each other. HA is also a natural humectant that works by holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. We often see hyaluronic acid in face serums, but it's a nice addition to a hand moisturizer."
This fragrance-free hand cream is a classic thanks to its concentrated, glycerin-enriched formula. Polla says, "Very thick and occlusive, great for hands that have cracks and need a dose of extra care."
"For those looking for additional anti-aging benefits for hands, I recommend Restorsea Pro Intensive Hand Treatment 10X," says Black. "It contains Aquabeautine XL which is an enzyme derived from salmon roe. This salmon roe enzyme was found to have anti-aging benefits in workers incidentally exposed to it while submerging their hands in hatching water. Restorsea Pro Intensive Hand Treatment 10X has a pleasant smell and feels great while also including this enzyme with anti-aging ingredients."
