Ever since I started using this cream a few years ago, my skin has started to recover on its own and doesn't crack painfully anymore. This is my hand condition now, no more redness, itch or cracked peeling skin.  Although the cream feels thick, it is non-greasy. Just a small amount is enough to soothe very dry skin. Your skin will stay smooth for many hours, best to use overnight so that your skin gets more hours to recover. During day time, I wear gloves to wash dishes to prevent from washing off the cream.  I'll just re-apply with a small dab of the cream during daytime.  Picture of the back of my hand, used to have cracks and bleeds at my knuckles and in between finger creases, but it has gone away for many years, thanks to this heavenly cream!
