Yep. Never leaves my sight in winter.

OP, wash up your hands real well, apply hydrocortisone, let it dry for 30 min and put this on over it. Itll lock in the cortisone. GL

This cream made my hands extra dry and itchy. Did I use it wrong or something?

This stuff is my favorite and I try to apply it at least nightly to keep my hands in good shape, but in the dead of winter after a ton of hand-washing and wind burn my hands can get chapped, it STINGS when I put it on. It eventually settles down after about 10 mins, but I think when there’re cracks in the skin then the urea content can be irritating.

As long as I keep up with it and sometimes use the overnight treatment, then top it with an occlusive like Vaseline or Bag Balm, then that mostly avoids that stinging/burning issue.
