I've only been using this cream for 2 days and the results are beyond my expectations. I use my hands as 'tools', be it in the garden or up to my elbows in water, and they are usually very dry. I'd heard of Bert's Bees and thought I'd give it a try. Having unloved hands that have a touch of eczema I have tried many lotions and potions. I'm so happy with the the early soothing properties of this cream, no stinging or extreme greasiness - just the job! The only downside for me is the scent, but if it continues to repair the daily abuse to my hands, I'm sure I'll get used to it.
