No, despite the temperature reaching 70 degrees on Tuesday, winter is not over yet in the Northeast. My hands show and feel it. Since I recently finished my Eucerin Hand Cream, which is an absolutely good and effective product, I decided to try something new. i bought CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream.
I have been using CeraVe for about a week, and it provides immediate results after application. CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream is a fast-absorbing, completely non-greasy formula that feels rich out of the tube but disappears completely into the skin within about a minute.
It provides short-term (at this point) relief to the dry, sometimes cracked and even cracked skin on my hands. I used the word “short-term” because my hands are often in water due to frequent hand washing or cleaning utensils without wearing gloves. Still, I hope this hand cream can provide some long-term care. CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream is formulated with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, vitamins and minerals, and dimethicone to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier so moisture stays in the skin instead of disappearing.
With CeraVe my hands feel much softer and smoother, plus they look plumper and less dry than before applying the cream. so far so good!
The tube of unscented hand cream contains 3 fl. ounce. So it’s travel and TSA-friendly. CeraVe sells therapeutic hand cream on its website For $11.99. I purchased my tube on Amazon, where it cost $10, when I realized I needed to make another purchase to get free shipping. (P.S. There is no free shipping unless you are a Prime member, and I stopped my membership a year ago. But if you’re willing to pick up your products at Whole Foods, the store has “free shipping.”) However, CeraVe is widely available at CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart, and supermarkets.
As you can see below, CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream contains methylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives. These are generally chosen due to their low toxicity to humans as well as their effective antimicrobial activity. If you avoid parabens, this hand cream is not for you.
