The immediate relief I felt surprised me, but what really overwhelmed me was that when deep healing came over the next hours and days. It is also a true and permanent healing, not just a temporary effect that you discover has vanished by the time the cream has worn off and your condition is as bad as ever.
I had had no idea that my skin was that bad. Now I have something to compare it to, comfortable, supple, smooth, beautiful skin. I use it on my palms, too, and work it into the fingertips. It is not greasy, so I can touch and use things after the cream has been worked in. It felt so grand that I kept on going over the wrists, up the forearms and as far up as I could push my sleeves.
I use this brand for the lip repair, and came across this hand repair product while shopping. I just love Amazon for the reviewers and Amazon's review policy and for finding things I didn't even know could improve my life.
I am looking forward to seeing how my skin heals over the next weeks with daily/nightly application of this cream. I had a loyalty to another brand that I had been using for years, but it only took me to a lower level of healing, which I thought was the best improvement I could hope for. I wear gloves to protect my hands in outdoor work, to protect from water and chemicals, from abrasion, but my skin was needing something that it wasn't getting that this cream provided.
