    Any recommendations for unscented and / or unfragranced hand cream / hand lotion?

      I really like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. Thick but not greasy. (I don’t like the packaging it comes in — tub with regular twist off cap and tup with a pump — so I decant into an airless pump container that I got from Amazon).

      I am partial to La Roche Posay Cicaplast Mains, which is heavy on the glycerin. If you don’t like glycerin you won’t like it.

      If my hands are really bad, which is not all that often, La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 underneath the Cicaplast Mains.

      If they’re really terrible, Cerave SA Smoothing Cream 10% Urea, which you have to import from overseas.

        The Inkey List has a good 10% Urea Moisturizer and Sephora carries it.

          Yes, I know, but thanks! I use the Cerave primarily as a foot cream and the Inkey is a bit pricey for that.. (about $25 for 6 oz of the Cerave vs $20 for 1.7 oz of the Inkey).

        CeraVe has a good fragrance free hand cream. The regular CeraVe cream in the tub or lotion with a pump are some of my favorites. Gold Bond has fragrance free body moisturizers I have used on my hands.

        I see CVS has La Roche Posay Cicaplast Hand cream. While I can wear perfume, for some reason fragranced creams flare up my eczema. I’ll check it out since it’s fragrance free, thanks. If it’s too heavy I can always just use it at night before bed.

      I currently have 4 suggestions for warmer weather (all of them come in tubes): CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for Normal to Dry Skin, Korres Unscented Elasti-Smooth Body Butter (this one might be d/c’ed), First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream and Josie Maran Always Nude Body Butter.

        Good to know that CeraVe has their moisturizer cream in a tube. My Target doesnt carry it so I’ll have to look for it online.

          I think I found mine at either Target or a grocery store. So you might have a local option.

          My Target is sporadic on the tube. This is my favorite on the recommendation of my dermatologist. I use the hand cream in a tube and the big tub with pump on my body. MN winter is hell on my skin 🥶

      O’Keeffe’s Working Hands. Inexpensive, and it works. The hand soap in the restrooms at work makes my hands crack and bleed after ONE use. I now carry soap leaves (thank you, Robin and NST) but the O’Keeffe’s rescues me if I get stuck and have to use the bast stuff. My dermatologist gives it a big thumbs up. Their foot cream is also AMAZING. Even Mr. Skal is a fan.

      I like Eucerin hand cream. It contains AHAs so it’s great at smoothing ragged cuticles and rough skin.

      I’m a fan of Aveeno. They have an unscented version that is very moisturizing.
