Guests are saying
This hand cream is praised for its quick absorption, non-greasy feel, and effectiveness in moisturizing dry and cracked hands, especially during winter. However, some guests find it too watery and not moisturizing enough for extremely dry skin. The scent and consistency are also points of contention for a few users.

Great Product!
This past year I started getting eczema on my hands, which has caused my hands to dry during these cold months. It has helped my eczema clear up and has helped with my dry hands. Definitely recommend!

Best hand cream
I love this hand cream! 💖 It’s completely fragrance-free and not greasy at all—just pure hydration. My hands felt soft and smooth after just a couple of uses, and I haven’t looked back since. The price is absolutely worth it based on the quality of the product you’re getting to spoil your hands. Totally recommend! 🥰

Makes MORE dry, not less
I love Cerave and use a lot of products from them. This hand cream is watery and absolutely makes my hand MORE dry than they ever were before. I’m not sure which ingredient is drying but my hands feel awful after using this. Would not recommend.

I’ve been using the CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream, and I have to say, it really impressed me. My hands get dry and irritated pretty easily, especially with all the handwashing I do, and most creams either feel greasy or don’t last long. This one absorbs quickly, doesn’t leave a sticky film, and actually makes my skin feel softer and stronger. I like that it’s fragrance-free and gentle, so it doesn’t irritate my skin. After a few days of using it regularly, I noticed my hands stayed moisturized for longer and felt less rough. It’s not a heavy balm, so if your hands are really cracked you might need to reapply, but for everyday dryness it works perfectly. The only downside is the tube isn’t huge—I wish it came in a bigger size because I’m already reaching for it constantly. Still, it’s become my go-to hand cream, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something effective but lightweight.

I’ve been using the CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream
I’ve been using the CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream and it has quickly become a must-have in my routine 🙌. The formula is rich but not greasy, so it absorbs really well and doesn’t leave that sticky feeling some hand creams do. It’s packed with ceramides, which help repair and protect the skin barrier — I noticed my hands feeling softer and smoother after just a few uses. It also lasts through hand washing, which is a big plus for me.

Just ok
It’s alright but feels a bit thin/watery when it goes on. It doesn’t seem to have the same moisturizing/staying power as other hand creams.

Not as thick as I’d like it, definitely feel like we need a thick handcream, not a loose hand cream. I’d give it a 3 out of 10. No strong scent, which is nice for a person who is fragrance free.

Perfect for dry sensitive skin
This lotion is amazing. It is not greasy at all and goes on like silk. This hand cream Stays on through multiple hand washes. I like it is unscented and the smaller size fits perfectly In my work bag.

Not oily, not scented, great for sensitive skin.
We love this cream in our house. It works for sensitive skin, it is not oily/greasy and you see a difference almost immediately. There is no real scent, which is great because sometimes strong scents trigger headaches.

Amazing
Just like most of the cera ve products, it's very nice and feels comfortable. I like the packaging. The box was sturdy that it came in, too, tells you a lot about the thing inside. The lotion and hand cream feels really good on my skin and has improved a lot of my texture, and my skin feels really hydrated.

CeraVe Hand Cream is such a great find! It’s affordable, but works just as well—if not better—than more expensive brands. It keeps my hands soft and moisturized without feeling greasy. A little goes a long way, and I love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle on my skin. Perfect for everyday use, especially in dry or cold weather. Highly recommend!

Best Hand Cream
I was able to finally purchase this great hand cream at the end of winter and I so wish i could have purchased it sooner. It is fantastic! I'm 67 years old and my hands are very dry, especially during the winter so I always apply hand cream before bed. This therapeutic hand cream is wonderful! When you wake up you can still feel this cream on your hands like a coating unlike other hand creams I have tried. Even when I wash my hand first thing in the morning I can feel the coating on my hands and it's protection. Please do not stop making this product.
