Looking for a non greasy handcream

fussyonion

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a non greasy handcream, do you have any recommendations?
I currently use Neutrogena but it's really greasy and doesn't sink in.

I need one that's not too thick, but not runny either, and will absorb quite quickly, leaving my hands soft but not oily.

I find I have to wash my hands after applying the Neutrogena cos of the oilyness and that defeats the purpose!

Thanks in advance.

My cosmetic indulgence is Clarins hand and nail cream - it's lush, rich and smells gorgeous. And isn't at all greasy.

Try a sample at a Clarins counter, I doubt you'll be disappointed!

ETA - a pal of mine once gave me a dab of Cutex hand cream, which was even better, but I've never seen it on sale (I've never looked particularly hard mind you). Seemingly cheap as chips, and as good if not better than the Clarins IMO, if you can find it.

I use Aveeno daily moisture lotion, not strictly hand cream but body moisturizer. Have a squirt container in kitchen, sitting room and upstairs. Little & often keeps my otherwise dry hands lovely and soft.

I find avons glycerine cream to be the best, leaves hands so soft with no greasiness.

+1 for Clarins

Thanks a lot everyone! I'll definitely get a sample of the Clarins one next time I'm shopping.

I used to order from Avon regularly but I stopped a while back-thanks for the info anyway

I very rarely order from avon, I just find a lot of their stuff to be crap quality make up wise apart from nail polish and hand cream(obv)

I was a regular Avon customer. I used to order their SuperFull Mascara a lot-it was brilliant, but then they got rid of it, which was strange as even my rep used to say it was their best selling mascara.

A lot of their make up is not that reasonable and you could get brand name stuff on the high street for less.

Anyway sorry, took this topic off thread a little.

Thanks again

Boots do an own brand hand cream. It specifically says something like non greasy or fast absorbing and I found it great

Soap and Glory Hand Food is quite good, sinks in within 30 seconds. Strongish smell though when first applied which is love-hate (some say it smells like a Miss Dior perfume, but my sister claims it smells like sour roses).

The small handbag sized tubes are included in the travel sized products range in Boots, so they're normally 3 for 2. Great for trying it out though, Boots have loads of travel sized products in that offer

+1 clarins. L'occitaine also do a lovely rose one.

I find Vaseline Hand & Nail (pink bottle) great, it absorbs really well & it brought my nails back to health after years of wearing acrylic nails.

Dark Phoenix

the loccitaine ones are really nice. I have the orange one smells lovely too

I would be a fan of Aveeno, however I've started using Mane 'n Tail Hoofmaker cream and I'm finding it excellent, it absorbs very quickly.

Ive tried a lot of hand creams as have really dry skin, find Nivea too greasy and the effects of L'occitane wears off... honestly, the best one I have come across in years in one from Lidl, under the Cien brand. Think it's called SOS or something, white and red tube. AMAZING. Dries in pretty quick and the effect is noticed staright away. and at only 69p (maybe about a euro in Ireland?), it's worth it.

My mam got hand cream in avoca last week. It's shea butter, she thinks the make is barr? Said its amazing & I could see a real improvement in her hands.

Completely forgot about this one, but the L'Occitane hand cream in the blue tube (the classic one) is insanely good. My mom has dry skin (psoriasis in some areas) and loves it, it's possibly one of the only beauty products she would repurchase or splash out on (if we haven't bought her a tube for a holiday/birthday )
