I use this every day, esepcially in NY's winters. It relieves my dry, cracked hands. It may sting your hands if they are really raw, but that's because it is doing its job. It's relieving the skin of the damage.

THIS Product does not have "menthol" as stated above. This has the Shea Butter. They have 2 lotions that are almost identical in design...so read carefully when ordering. I have really, really dry cracked hands. This product burned my hands as most lotions do upon application. My hands are really raw as I wear latex gloves 10-12 hours a day and my skin just peels off at points where it is very painful to touch anything or apply anything. As I said this burns my cuts and raw skin like crazy for several minutes after application. But, then it totally relieves them. The constant pain is gone as if I put a pain-killer on. It does feel very "waxy" [not greasy] while on. I feel like I'm leaving a coat of wax on everything on touch. When the lotion wears off, it seems like my hands are twice as bad as they were before I put on the lotion. This lotion with the natural shea butter is great if I could just keep it on 24-7...but I can't. I WOULD reommend for you to try this, as each person is different. Once it is on, it is total relief. My situation is I wear the gloves off and on throughout the day which rubs the lotion off and then rubs my skin raw. [I'm not allergic to latex, already tested].

This is the best lotion I have ever used. It actually does what it says on the bottle and it actually lasts for a LONG time! And it smells really good too.

This product combines the best of Aveeno's moisturizing power with the soothing anti-itch component of menthol. Lasts through vigorous handwashings (cold and flu season, you know), and eases the irritation and cracking of winter-weather hands. This Midwestern girl's fingertips have never looked (or felt) better.
