Our promise is to make the best skincare products for workers who rely day-to-day on their hands. Non-greasy and free from scents and perfumes, O’Keeffe’s Working Hands not only moisturises dry skin, but also protects your skin, giving it chance to heal. Maintaining healthy hands not only feels great and keeps them active, but it also helps prevent other, more serious problems from developing.
Why It Works
| | | |
|---|---|---|
Why it WorksO’Keeffe’s highly-concentrated proprietary formulations were developed to relieve severely dry skin, decrease dryness and provide long-lasting moisturisation. The skin’s natural barrier can be damaged, which leads to increased water loss that causes dry, cracked skin. O’Keeffe’s Working Hands not only protects the skin from further water loss, but the creams also draw moisture to the skin. The protective barrier seals in that moisture, reducing the rate of evaporation. | Before & AfterApply a small amount of O’Keeffe’s hand cream as needed throughout the day. Apply after hand washing, after bathing and at bedtime as these are the most effective times for moisturising extremely dry skin. Representative Photos: Before and After Hand Images. Two week usage period. O’Keeffe’s Working Hands cream was applied before bed and three times daily. Results may vary. | Working Hands Family of ProductsYou can find O’Keeffe’s Working Hands in Tubes and Jars. We even do a value Jar. |

Absolutely brilliant produc
This o’keeffe’s hand cream and the o’keeffe’s foot cream it is like a hydration bath on whatever part of your skin you put it. It is also not greasy at all and drys in really quickly it has worked wonders for my hands and feet also dry patches of skin on your body i would definitely recommend this this item.
Works as they say
My finger and thumb ends split something rotten during the cold weather. Tried all sorts of creams and nothing works other that soaking them in Vaseline overnight with a finger/thumb of a rubber glove covering them. This stuff worked from the first time I used it. Not too much as it will just get everywhere. but it actually does work immediately. Started using it one evening and cracks started to heal by the next morning.
Only hand cream that works!
I always buy Okeefes cream for my hands.
I used to get cuts all aver my hands through work & washing up etc but since i soak this in before bed by morning my hands are so soft & dont crack anymore. Also works on heels if you have dry feet!
Best hand cream in the world!
After using this I won’t use any others now. Husband the same too. He had really bad cracked fingers from work and since he’s started using this cream it’s worked miracles. No more sore and cracked hands! He loves it.
Heaven for Hands
Oh my goodness – wow!
Every single winter my hands go mouldy and start to fall apart. Several creams, lotions and oils later and my hands last longer but still don’t survive the winter.
Enter WORKING HANDS.
After just a few days of use, my hands literally mended. I’m not kidding and nobody is paying me to write this. I now swear by it and use it daily to keep my hands soft. I can imagine this stuff has the same effect if you’re into that manual labour life or like touching wood all day (ahem).
It’s scentless and, perhaps one small negative, is that you can end up leaving a sort of ‘chalk’ stain on things that you touch after application (sorry AirPods Max case). But it’s worth it for healthy hands.
Helped clear my hands up would definitely recommend!
This works really well, I use it before I go to bed. I get really dry hands and eczema which is made worse from using cleaning chemicals at work, washing up liquid etc and it’s helped to clear them up really well. Don’t get me wrong if my hands get bad I use a steroid ointment as well but O’Keefe’s has definitely helped because my hands are basically clear now and they’ve never been clear. Good quality stuff. Would definitely recommend you try it.

The only product that actually fixed my dry hands!
I don’t usually write reviews but I really wanted to let people know about my experience with o’keeffe’s. I’m really impressed, my hands were dry to the point of where the skin had cracked and were bleeding. It was painful and I was close to seeing a doctor as I thought I’d developed eczema but this hand cream has totally cleared up the problem.
It took about a week of applying it occasionally throughout the day and every night before bed to work but it has brought my hands back to life. They are no longer sore and feel soft again. It’s also helped the skin around my nails.
I’ve used a lot of hand creams previously but this is the most effective I’ve tried and I would really recommend it!
Dry Cracked Sore Skin? MUST BUY.
I very rarely leave reviews but this product is exceptional.
I have been suffering from very dry, cracked hands, between my fingers and on my knuckles, as a result of hand washing and sanitising. It was really quite sore and none of my usual creams or gels helped. I’ve never used this brand before, but had exhausted most other ‘perfect for very dry hands’ brands.
I’ve had this product for one day. I’ve used it probably about four times and all of the dry cracked skin is gone!!! In 24 hours!
I dont know if it uses fairy dust or another magic ingredient but it genuinely is the best product on the market if you have dry skin and it’s getting sore.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic!!
I really suffer with dry hands and contact dermatitis. I also have ocd so wash my hands far more and often have splits on my fingers which are very sore. This is the best cream I have ever used!! Yes it’s pricier than others but it is worth the money. Absorbs quickly and helped my hands heal from the first couple of uses.

Works wonders
Good value. This worked wonders on my hands as i has sore cracked hands because of the had sanitizer my hands went very sore. This was so good only had to use a small amount, if you put to much on hands are feeling tacky and sticky so use just a small amount. My hand were back to normal after few days. Now i just keep on top of things and use it each day to keep the cracks away and it has done no more sore or cracked hands or fingers 100% happy i recommend this
Perfec
After trying loads of different creams I saw this on offer I didn’t have much hope but thought I’d try it OMG amazing my hands feel great and instantly my dry cracked hands felt the benefit will be sticking with this from now o

It cured my cracked fingers.
I honestly did not expect it to work so well, but have to say I am impressed!
For years (20+) I have suffered from painful skin cracking on my finger tips an knuckle joints particularly in winter. I had to cover the cracks with sticking plasters as the were so sore and would bleed. I got a tub of this cream 6 weeks ago and, using it once a day at night, immediately started to notice a difference. Literally within 3 or 4 days the cracking had gone away and hasn’t returned since, at a time of year when I would normally be experiencing bad cracking, especially with the very cold weather we have just had. It has also improved the condition of some rough dry skin on the sides of a couple of fingers that would also crack. The rough skin has not completely gone away, but is much improved. and has not cracked since. The tub looks like it will last for about 6 months in total.
Best hand cream
This hand cream is fantastic. Generous size and good value for money. My hands were so sore that they had started to have cuts and bleed a lot. Other hand creams were greasy and made the cuts worse. I dreaded washing and drying my hands because they were so painful. After using O’keeffes for one day, I started to see a difference. I highly recommend it. Thank you!
100% 5 stars for anybody
100% 5 stars for this! It’s saved my hands in the past and I use it now to keep soft hands.
I am an engineering technician and service engineer dealing with cutting fluid in cnc machines which some fluids can damage your hands. This cream really works to repair your hands.
Yes it is kinda expensive compared to other creams but it lasts for ages! You only need a small amount and if you work in harsh working environment it’s worth every penny. Especially currently with all the hand sanitizer that dries your hands so much this is a must for anybody.
Buy this!!
Amazing cream! Beat I’ve ever used. The only downfall is the smell. When you smell it in the tub it smells nice, but when rubbed in to hands it loses it scent.
Amazon's best kept secret.
Wow. This is excellet. An overall great product. I was looking for the cream after i saw a lady had used the hand cream on her face and it had resulted in lots of compliments. The tube wasn’t available so i bought the tub. I’m so glad i did. This has glycerine in it as one of the main ingredients. so it’s very natural. Absolutely no scent. No. Not the ‘unscented’ scent. I mean NO scent WHATSOEVER. I was so pleasantly surprised.
I have also just read a review that it helped a person with eczema, so i will be sharing a little with my daughter who suffers from eczema to see if it helps her at all.
The packaging is great because it has a grippy side along the top of the lid, so it’s easy to open with very dry or greasy hands. Overall a very well thought out product. i have been using it nightly on my face and neck also. Great product. Might replace my more expensive night creams with this, although I know it’s meant for the hands only.

Good stuff!
At last I have found a hand cream which actually leaves your hands soft and moisturized. You only need a small amount and it really does leave your hands baby soft. It’s unscented which means the household males (husband and son) are nicking it too!
Incredible product that really works
Have always had dry hands especially in winter, always cracked and sore- and with all the constant hand washing due to COVID, it has got worse and worse, nothing has helped until this product. Literally over night, absolutely incredible results. Done what many more expensive hand creams have not done. Hands are now pain free, look nice – I have even painted my nails again (not something I have done for a long time!!!). I use it once a day at bedtime and don’t need to use anything else. Product goes a long way. Really happy to have found something that truly works – will be buying again for sure!
Unbelievably efficient hand cream!
This is the most amazing hand cream ever!!!
My wife has serious hands skin problem when is cold weather. The skin is extremely dry and sometimes bleeding.
She used many other creams and her hands were soft for a couple of hours only.
We saw the reviews of O’Keeffe’s hand cream and we decided to give it a try.
It has been a life changer for her. Her hands are unrecognisable, repaired and soft.
Highly recommend. Thank you O’Keefee’s!
AMAZING
Wow what a hand cream. Been suffering for ages with dry, cracked sore hands, mainly from all the extra hand washing and use of alcohol hand gel. Tried all sorts of different hand creams and none were working. Then came across this little gem. One use and wow what a difference, with continued daily use my hands are almost back to normal. Photos show difference after one use. Would most definitely buy again and will be recommending to everyone I know.
Terrific !
This product is fantastic I bought the smaller tub just to try, being an outdoor livestock farmer I dread winter with fingers & thumbs cracking, usually reappearing in the same spot & having to use my hands in all weathers, even with gloves on the cracking reappears & I don’t need to tell you how painful this is, anyway applied this to my fingers & within 3 days the pain had gone & they started healing, now 2 weeks since I last applied any & no sign of any cracking reappearing, there must be something in the cream to help protect the fingers, tried everything vasoline etc etc but this is by far the best by a million miles !

All I have to say is WOW
This product seems to be able to penetrate rough, thickened, “lichen” like skin that has been repeatedly abused, and allow it to heal. It’s like magic.
do yourself a favor and try this. It really works!
Best hand cream
This hand cream is excellent. It doesn’t smell of anything and it’s not a fancy hand cream BUT it is the best. I had really dry hands between my fingers and cracked heels on my feet and this improved them in a matter of days. I’ve used it before and I just forgot how good it is. There are so many fancy hand creams out there that just don’t work! Look no further ! this not only does the job it’s a total bargain too

Very good..does the job
I just love it. Mine hands are very sensitive during cold weather and they just crack once I am out. After first use could feel different and now in less than two weeks no cracks, no dry skin, no pain. Just soft baby skin. Very happy with product and just 5
Amazing cream
I have only used this once but even after one application I can feel a massive difference. My hands should get back to normal and I’ll be able to keep on top of them during this enhanced cleaning time at my work.
Does exactly what is says on the ja
Bought for my Dad who has been doing a lot of DIY during the covid lockdown. His hands although regularly moisturises had become sore and cracked. This started working after the first 24 hours. A little more expensive than standard moisturiser hand creams, but we’ll worth the money
Excellent produc
This product is truly amazing. I used some of my friend’s and then looked it up and ordered, I wish I knew about this hand cream before, wasted money on expensive brands, this really works and is scent free and non greasy. Only negative is that packing was open though container contents was intact, so no biggie.
120/10
It is working!
I applied this cream three times in a row before the night and my hands got MUCH BETTER. One of the best products I’ve ordered in my life!
Don’t apply too much and stick with instructions as It will cause sticky feeling on your hands
O'Keeffes Hand cream
O’Keeffes working hand cream should say O’Keeffees MAGIC hand cream. It’s incredible, the soothing properties are almost instantaneous and the non greasy formula is incredible, a must for any hands.
Highly recommended
Hands have been very dry recently with the constant use of hand sanitizers especially around the finger tips. Bought this as I had ran out of hand cream. Can say that after only two days use, dry skin is actually much better already. The trick is not to use too much of this and to top up gradually and waiting for it to soak in. Does seems to soak in well with no greasiness (as long as you don’t use too much). So far very happy with this. Will probably buy again over my usual (Clarins or Jack Black) as it’s much cheaper and appears to be as good.
It does what it says on the lid
After months of complaining about dry cracked hands and useless creams I decided to buy my good lady with this. She had immediate results and 3 days later she now has soft smooth hands. Life is now peaceful and it’s well worth every penny, just ordered her the foot cream….

Brilliant produc
Not one for hype but believe me this stuff works really well. I used to work with my hands all the time. Farming, ground works, engineering and my hands used to be hard and calloused. I got rag nails and hacks but just thought sure that’s normal. I used different hand creams and lotions but never noticed anything working. Now I’m a civil servant with nice soft hands and recently started to renovate an old house. Now my soft hands are covered in cuts, hacks and rag nails again and there’s hand sanitizer everywhere and I’m yelping in pain at every doorway. Started using this a week ago and no lie my hands are so good. Hacks and rag nails seem to heal up really quickly. I only use it in the evening time as it does leave a hint of residue but it is only a hint.
It’s not a miracle product I still get hacks and cuts etc but not as bad and heal quicker. Believe the hype this stuff is good

Works
I brought this because my hands were very dry and cracking. I found that this cream does really help and it actually works! I’ve brought a second tub.
It doesn’t really have a scent which I like. It does feel a little waxy but it’s worth it.
Very good for extremely cracked and dry hands
I initially bought the product when my hands were cracked and dry to the point of severe flaking skin and small cuts in the skin between the fingers, on the knuckles as well as around the wrist area. Upon application it did sting, because my hands were in a such a bad condition but the packaging states that it does that to extremely dry hands as a disclaimer. After a month of irregular use, it has improved the condition of my hands significantly. When applied liberally at night, I wake up with much smoother hands. If used regularly, it is certain that my hands would return back to a normal healthy state. It is certainly better than a lot of other hand creams on the market, as most leave an oily residue but this absorbs quite quickly. I won’t be going back to any other hand cream anytime soon!
Fantastic for eczema
I have eczema and sometimes my fingers crack. This incredibly heals them!
Offers a nice level of moisturising but I tend to only use it when my skin has cracked rather than a daily moisturiser.

BUY IT YOU WON’T REGRET IT!
Amazing! I’ve always had sore, dry hands and this healed them within a day! I love how it’s non greasy and turns from a hard cream into an emollient meaning you don’t have to use much. No scent either so your hands will be relieved from the usual perfumed hand creams. Love the packaging and quick delivery. Will definitely be purchasing again and recommending to all my friends. As usual Amazon offers the cheapest option of buying compared to retail stores.
Seems to work well
Seems to work better than other rough/cracked hand treatments I have tried, but takes a while to work as you might expect. Also, leaves a slightly soapy/slippery feel on your skin after applying, but not much an issue. Overall very happy with the purchase.
Brilliant produc
Brilliant product! My hands had become very dry, cracked and sore, even bleeding at times, due to regular washing etc. I had tried many other branded hand creams but none were working, they all left my chapped hands stinging and even more sore! This product soothed my sore hands from the first application, there is no stickiness and a little goes a long way! After just a few days use my hands are smooth as a baby’s bottom!
Perfect for cracked dry hands
This isn’t a ‘Luxury’ hand cream so if you like nice scents this isn’t for you, however if like me you wash your hands 100 times a day then suffer with dry flaky and very sore cracked hand this will work wonders. The smell isn’t bad or good in fact I can hardly smell it at all, but that’s not the point of this cream, I’ve been using it for a week now and my hands (especially around the knuckles) are so much better, it’s done more for my hands in 1 week then applying drugstore hand creams has in months. Initially it did sting a bit putting it on as I had some deep cracks but worth it for the result! The feel of it isn’t super pleasant sort of oily and you feel like it will never absorb into your skin but it takes a little while after applying so don’t put it on when you’re in a hurry (I work in a bar and have had quite a few glasses slip out of my hands because of this) do NOT apply to your hands if they are still wet from washing them as it seems to glide over forming a kind of second skin and won’t absorb in so wait until they are completely dry.

Cured my dry knuckles from Highland winter hiking
Cheap, and just works. I had dry knuckles on my hands from hours and months of Highland winter hiking, I don’t like gloves I can take the cold but my skin can’t. This stuff fixed it in 2 weeks! Before that I wasted money on that e45 stuff and 2 other brands. This is better than the body lotion version in the yellow bottle as this is much thicker also if this isn’t available just get the blue one for feet it’s almost identical to this green hand one.
Long time use
I’m a retail worker and I currently have to wash my hands more frequently so they dry out. This cream keeps my hands moisturized for at least several washes. I also get a lot of paper cuts on my hands and this product starts to visibly heal them within hours, and within days completely, instead of weeks. Wouldn’t use any other hand cream.
Amazing results.
Firstly the tub was much bigger than I expected, secondly I work in the building trade and my hands take serious grief and as a result of scrubbing them in the shower my hands were like sandpaper and sore.
After only the second application using just a little my hands feel much better. I highly recommend O’keefs working hands cream. Great value for money and 100 percent affective.
Magic cream
Nothing has worked for my fingertip dermatitis, but this cream softens the skins and has stopped the cracks from happening. My condition hasn’t disappeared (it’s not that magical) but this cream has certainly made my condition more management and far, far less painful. You don’t need a lot of it either so I think the pot will last a long time. It acts as a nice barrier when you have to wash your hands, and doesn’t feel greasy.
Miracle cream
I’ve had a cracked and painful thumb for about a year from weightlifting and I’ve tried everything to get rid of it such as cocoa butter, sudocrem, vaseline even hydrocortisone cream.
After about 4 days of using this the crack has almost gone and all of the pain around it has gone. The cream is almost scentless and rubs in much smoother than all of the products listed above. Hopefully it will permanently fix the cracking in my hands.
Wow
I’m only on day two and it has made such a difference to my hands. With an newborn baby I’ve been washing my hands so much that my skin is cracked and sore and my thumb print is no longer recognised on my phone! Some cracks are already gone and they’re less painful already. I’m amazed!!! What a good product! Xx
BEST hand cream eve
This is the BEST hand cream , been sticking to it since I discovered it a few years ago in Boots. My hands don’t have any cracks or serious problem just need moisture, the cream goes in my skin right after apply, not at all oily and stays smooth and moisturized for a long time, scent free !
This product WORKS!!!!
My hands have become increasingly sensitive over the years and now in my 60s almost everything I touch from household cleaning products to weeding to decorating will result in dry patches and skin splits which are itchy and painful and very difficult to resolve. I have tried numerous creams and the one that seemed to work was ‘Dermalex Hand Irritation’. Unfortunately apart from being very expensive it has now dissappeared from the market. In desparation I tried ‘O’Keefs working Hands’ and I can’t praise it highly enough. I just use it once a day, unless I’ve been careless and have an outbreak, and it keeps my hands lovely and soft . I also started using it on my lower legs where the skin tends to get really dry and just a little once a day and no more dry skin. IT’S WONDERFUL!!

Incredible
I’m prone to dry and flaky skin especially on my hands, and due to the amount of hand sanitising in recent months I decided to pick up this cream I used to use and I can honestly say it justifies the price! Lots of skin creams claim to repair skin within 2 weeks but this one really does, and I went from sore, burning and tearing skin back to normal in a matter of days, I still sanitise everyday day but a small dab of this on my hands before bed and I have 0 skin problems!

I had extremely dry cracked skin due to so much hand washing ( nhs) . After just 4-5 times i could see the results, my skin was less cracked and dry, it was working a treat. Im very impressed with this hand cream will buy again for sure
Hand Cream That Works.
I work in the NHS & wash or sanitise my hands upwards of 15 times in an hour, so at the end of a shift my hands are really dry & sore. This is the best hand cream I’ve ever used, you don’t need much, it softens the hands after one application, I always use it on return from work & last thing at night.
It was recommended to me by NHS colleagues and by my builder – they were right, it’s the best!
Good results from the first aplication.
Very nice and smooth. I had cracked hands yesterday, I used the cream, left it overnight and this morning my hands already looked better. After just one aplication. Obviously you need to keep using it but I decided to write the review already because I liked how I saw my hands this morning.
I highly recommend. I think I will buy the one for feet aswell.
Ut doesn’t actually have any smell, which isn’t bad. And it dries pretty fast, then your hands feel very soft.
If you’re constantly working with your hands it is very useful.

Magic...
Great for working hands. I bought it for my fingers that crack and go really sore for weeks after working outdoors. Saw this and bought to try. Within a week my cracked and sore fingers were healed and OK. I use this regularly now and wouldn’t be without it. Use sparingly as a little goes a long way. Use too much and it leaves the skin feeling greasy / oily. All in all brilliant product.
Does what’s written on the packing;
saves your skin from splits and cracking
– what more could phalanges need,
to not break up and start to bleed?
If you want yer knuckles mended,
this stuff’s highly recommended;
(while those last two lines are strained,
at least your meat-hooks won’t be pained);
Onward, with your palms protected,
now refreshed and resurrected;
back to deal with work’s demands
– much less grief, with happy hands!
Softens hands
With COVID 19 and having to use anti-bacterial sprays and lotions my poor hands were drying out a lot. With my job it is not always possible to hand wash my hands so was having to resort to the various hand sprays etc available with a lot of them containing alcohol causing my hands to dry out and in some parts split. This cream has been a godsend and has provided my hands with the nourishment that they need. Top quality item highly recommended.
Good for dry knuckles and in-between fingers
It feels waxy to apply but doesn’t leave a residue which is great. Smells of absolutely nothing which is perfect for me. Great for healing dry hands. You don’t need a lot per application but I was sharing the pot so I went through the whole pot fairly quickly. Best to use overnight.
It’s good stuff! I’ve had very thick, hard skin on my knuckles for years. It must be over 20 years.
I’ve tried loads of things. Every once in a while I would file it down.
The palms of my hands were cracked and painful.
I had thick, hard skin along the side of my little fingers up to my wrists.
In between my fingers…. Look. My hands were in a right painful and ugly mess.
Oh, I forgot to say stained. I had constantly oil stained hard skin.
Now. I put some of this stuff on my hands before I went yo sleep.
Next morning, I wasn’t sure. They looked a bit better, but I might have imagined it. You know…seen improvements that weren’t there.
I put it on before starting work on my car. And I put gloves on.
Gloves break and the muck gets on my hands. I put a bit of tjis stuff on 2 or 3 times in the day.
When I stopped work I coeaned my hands as usual. They were cleaner! No doubt about it.
I put it on again before I went to sleep again.
Next morning, no mistake. A huge improvement. Healing up too.
I carried on like this. After a week the hard skin on my palms was gone. Clean new skin.
I’m 55 now and I haven’t had hands like this since I was a teenager.
After 2 weeks my hands had cleared up. Still working. Still getting oil and swarf and grime on my hands.
My hands cleaned up really wrll. I wouldn’t have believed it.
I saw all those pictures in the adverts. I thought it was hyp.
Now. Don’t expect a miracle over night. It does take time. On the other hand, you will see a difference over night. I did.
After a few days, you’ll be hooked.
It’s been 3 weeks now. My hands are looking really good. I tell you, they were on fire!
I’ve placed a regular order for tge stuff. A small tub every month.
The wife has seen the difference in my hands and Iknow she’s been using it. I can’t blame hwr. It’s really good stuff.
I’ve still got a couple of hard knuckles. It’s going to take another week or so, I think.
The thing is, my fingers amd knuckles. Well, there must have been of an inch of hard skin on them. It’s gone!
Just a rough surface now. In fact, my knuckles are now like the rest of my hands were.
It will be about a month before they’re totally cleaned up. Just remember, I’m talking about over 20 years of hard calloused hands.
It’s fantastic stuff! It really is.
Years of oil and cement and paint and plaster and abuse…sorted out in a couple of weeks.
The burning and cracking skin cleared up really quickly.
Now, I’ve bought something called PR88. It’s barrier cream. And that’s fantastic too! I use this hand cream at night and the PR88 Before starting work.
They’re different companies, I think. Anyway, I’m not using as much of this stuff now.
Working Hands. I had to look what it’s called.
Anyway. It’s really good stuff. And it’s about 5 delivered same day. Or, mine was.
I’ll be using it every night now to keep my hands right.
I’ve gone on a bit. It really is good stuff.
I hope I’ve helped.
Amazing stuff 👏
This is amazing stuff! Almost a waxy feel but also feels quite matte. Its not greasy at all and i can use my phone straight after using. A little goes along way. I work with food and hand washing is a top priority in the food industry ( well it should be anyway) so my hands are often dry because of this more so because the soap provided is clearly awful for skin. I got by using normal handcreams but never had relief longterm. Since Corvavirus I for one am washing my hands so much more than ever before and my hands where suffering the worst ever. Really dry, they where cracked and sore. After using this product after a few days my hands are the softest they have ever been. My hand washing routine has not changed at all, still washing just as much yet my hands are so soft no soreness and no cracks. Infact I think they are the best they have ever been.
I really can’t recommend this product enough!! Its insane stuff. I started off using this everyday just before I went to bed. Now after a few weeks id say only ever other day as thats all i feel i need. My husband has the typical working hands rough and dry and he hasnt been using as much as me but has noticed a difference too. You won’t be disappointed.
Great product, I would recommend the feet cream also
So far I have only used this product once and found it to be very good. I tried the foot one which was brillient because it healed very sore hard skin instantly on my heel, so I thought about buying it for my hands. Its very sturdy cream but did feel it to be quite sticky before it actually dried into my skin. There is a light scent which isn’t to strong but for me it’s better not being overpowering, great packaging and design. It’s design and branding meets up to its standard.

Brilliant results in no time
Recommended this by some female friends as my hands were so dry and cracked, first time I don’t suffer from this condition. Could not believe how quickly this made a difference, within 24 hrs hands started to feel better. Incredible product wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Amazing hand cream
I love this hand cream, I have been using it for a few years now, once I discovered it I have never used anything but this. It is the only thing that works in my hands. My hands get extremely dry and cracked but when I use this cream they never crack- ever – plus I only need to use it once a day whereas previous creams I was constantly applying. A little cream goes a long way- I love this cream
Good find.
Needed something for my over-washed hands with this covid pandemic + i work with machines in the food industry so my hands go through a lot and are washed million times a day.
Ive used it for cple days and my hands are back to normal.
Now i use it just occassionally, when my hands need a bit of rescue, while normal hand balm does the daily softening. I think this tub is gonna last me for years!
Glad ive bought it. My working hands feel more confident to do the tough jobs without having to worry theyll get wrecked.
Excelle
My husband has real working hands and with Covid-19 and washing them all the extra now they were getting really sore and cracked. I read about this cream and bought, and my goodness what a difference. You just need a small amount, I have tried also and boy does it work. His hands over the space of a week is so much better and if you put it on at night before bed it’s even better. He swears by it.

Incredible miracle cream
Having suffered from OCD, my hands have spent a long time being cracked and dry from over washing. I bought this cream as I had read the reviews and thought it was worth a try. My goodness, it was! Within 5 days of applying it at night and after washing my hands, my hands were already soft and the cracks had gone away. A few days after that, they are so soft and not a crack in sight. Wonder cream!
Fantastic....
This product has amazed me…I wash my hands countless times a day at work…my hands were so dry…cracked with cuts and small blisters…so very sore…I have been using this cream for 2 weeks…and can honestly say my hands are softer than they have ever been…my nails are also stronger and have stopped breaking…I only apply a small amount at night time before bed…and it has worked fantastically…I will definitely buy this cream again.
Works straight away fantastic
All I can say is fantastic my hands was so bad keep using hand wash they was cracked and sore with in 24hrs have noticed a difference straight away very very good in fact ice ordered the foot cream yo try and help with dry and cracked fee
Absolutly amazing
like many during this shielding thing I have been doing all of those little jobs around the garden cleaning out sheds epruning clearing old bits of ground etc. Because of spinal issues i have to have a guy who comes once a week to do this sort of thing for me . However things being what they are I have been going very very slowly but achieving a lot. My biggest problem has been my girly hands . My hands might be as big as a silver backs but they were as soft as a babies bottom. Within a very short space of time i developed hard skin and lots of little nicks and cracks which made my hands sore and it limmited what i could do . I have tried every hand cream of my wifes and even tried cream i have for psoriasis none of which made any difference. This stuff arrived about six last evening and i thought i would start straight away. you only need a very small amount so the tub should last some time . i applied it three times last night. I did notice a slight difference after a couple of hours and i was pleasently suprised as to how quick it seemed to be having an effect. this morning i was amazed i can clench a fist without it feeling tight and sore the little nicks and cuts are still there but because the skin around them is now so supple it doesnt sting and hurt when i use my hands / I asked my wife to feel my hand to see if she could notice a difference she was also amzed as to how quickly this cream had made such a big difference to my hard skinned cracked hands. i have used it again this morning and will use it through the day it really has made a huge difference.. My biggest and only issue with it is my wife has said its so good she is going to start using it , as she said she has paid a small fortune over the years for hand creams that have come no where close to being as affective as this is. so my prediction that it would last some time is way off. If your suffering with workmans hands not that you want soft pretty hands but want them to not sting hurt and crack get some of this its almost as good as wearing gloves.

Use as directed for softer hands
I was a little unsure how effective this product would be due to the mixed reviews. I used as directed (very sparingly to ensure you don’t have the sticky residue) and it was absolutely fine. The sore dry hands I was experiencing from this regular 20 second hand washing has disappeared completely, so I would recommend, just ensure you don’t try to use too much. Rating this product was difficult, for example scent – it doesn’t really have much scent which I think is a good thing – others might not. Softness – again good, but don’t expect immediate results; little and often and in a few days will feel much better. Seller also good communication but I wasn’t asked to comment on this in the review – I ordered 2 but only received one, which was rectified immediately without any problems.
Amazing absolutely works as good as it says
This is amazing, I have suffered with extremely dry cracked hands to the point of bleeding for over 30 years and I’ve tried hundreds of creams from doctors and shop bought to no avail, they never made a difference if anything made them worse. This cream is a pot of miracle, within 3 days of using this my hands were soft and sore free I can’t believe it or rate this product high enough AMAZING !!

Softens hands
My husband’s hands and fingers were cracked and sore after two days they started to heal and soften you only need a little on so it will go a long way too much and your hands feel sticky and clamy no scent to it so all in all good stuff
Emolie
I think these are what used to be called ’emolients’ in that they protect the skin whilst in use to stop it getting too dry or to get worse that it is already. I got some for my sister-in-law because she has just come back from Skiing in Italy when the COVID 19 situation was causing problems there and spent her time washing her hands and they were dry, cracked and painful. When I asked if it was of use, she did not immediately respond that yes, but she did say she could see it was sitting on the skin as if to protect it. I have their foot cream and that seems similar but it does sink in, is not creasy, easy to put on or rub in and does get rid of cracks or dryness. So for the cost worthwhile. They also do a variety of pump pots and others which people have told me are very good. The reason I put the overall as a 4 is because I have not have complete knowledge of the item as yet.
I use acetone, detergent, sealant, grease, spit and sweat on a daily basis. As per the picture my hands are 40 years older than the rest of my body, dried out, cracked, flaking and generally in a state of disrepair. My fingerprints have all but disintegrated and I would say they cause constant discomfort if not mild pain.
Id seen O’Keefes thousands of times but hadn’t really considered them an essential, always using my wifes Nivea/Boots own brand etc hand cream.
The tub is a brilliant size, the contoured dimpled lid means when rummaging around your toolbox or handbag you know you’ve got the right tub and not the grease when you feel it, the consistency is a little like slightly melted coconut oil but a bit more viscose. It doesn’t smell of a great deal, quite neutral.
Instructions are basically, apply multiple times per day, use sparingly, have nice hands.
Its really that simple.
From the moment I applied the cream it really has made a massive difference, it gives instant relief, however after two weeks of using religiously, at the start of the day, at the end of the day and several times in between, I can truly say that my hands are in much better condition than before using this product.
I now use on days off from work to maintain a decent level of moisture and comfort, I care not about the peculiar looks from colleagues covered in grease and mess, my hands are suppler, less flaky and able to carry out a days work without being in constant discomfort.
Five Stars and goodbye Nivea et al!
Magic cream
Great product, works wonders on dry hands! Only complaint is it leaves hands sticky after so I suggest you use at night before bed
Absolutely the best stuff I've tried!
After trying almost every over-the-counter products and even prescription creams I thought NOTHING would help ease the pain and heal my extremely dry, cracked hands. They were randomly bleeding and stinging constantly. Was recommended to try this and after 4 applications my hands have stopped bleeding! They’re feeling so much better and no more pain!
Wonderful for dry , splitting fingers and palms
My husband has suffered with painful split skin on several fingers for years, and I’ve tried many different remedies with varying results. A workman who was helping us with some jobs, lent a tin of this to my husband to try. It was brilliant and his finger have healed very quickly and he’s using it most days to ensure they don’t split again. The worst time is winter when the cold dries the skin out, but at the moment, his fingers look whole and healthy. I’ve not checked what’s in the ingredients but I’ll be ordering more as it so clearly works on the driest and most cracked skin. No more plasters covering up cuts on his thumbs, hopefully this will continue to keep them all healthy.
Cracked and sore hands
As a tradesman I find that my hands regularly begin to split/crack around the finger nails. I had tried various other lotions and creams with limited success. I tried o’Keefes on the recommendation of a pharmacist. After using for only a few days I began to notice a significant improvement. I apply the cream in the morning after showering, and again during the day after washing my hands.
Amazing
Chemo + radiotherapy made my hands so dry the splits caused more pain than the cancer. Tried everything but nothing worked even prescription creams so thought I’d give this a go +couldn’t believe how quick it worked. Anyone not sure about trying it, take it from me this cream is amazing.
I’ve had issues each winter with my hands. It seems to be a mixture of carrying cardboard boxes, the cold weather and use of heating that makes them dry and crack to the point they bleed.
I have used normal hand moisturiser and it’s helped shirt term, but just masked the problem.
Bought O’Keeffes around two weeks ago and it’s been brilliant. It has given the instant relief and moisturisation as the normal hand cream does, but has also helped to actually fix the problem.
It doesn’t give a grease on your hands like some can, but more of a wax feeling that doesn’t seem to come off instantly which is good.
I’ve put it on two or three times a day, but made sure each night in bed I put some on and you can see how little I’ve used in the two weeks from the photo.
Definitely recommend if you have dry cracking hands, and will be buying more of it.
Amazing
This product really is amazing, I have suffered with thick highly painful splits on my finger tips for years and I have tried so many products, even prescription ones.
This product is amazing, restored softness within 2 uses, took the pain of the splits down over night and they closed up within 2 days. It has no scent and has a strange waxy feeling when it dries on your hands but isn’t
Ta problem, very different feel to hand creams. Once you wash your hands though it is gone and needs re applied.
Can’t recommend it enough, I will never buy another hand cream.
Perfect for dry winter hands.
I had initially bought this as a joke gift for my husband as he has awfully dry hands due to his occupation, but ended up stealing it from him and using myself. After a few uses my husbands hands were so much better and as I always suffer with dry hands in the winter I thought I’d try it. It’s absolutely amazing, my hands are soft and a little goes a very long way!
Only tip would be to only use a small amount as too much makes the hands very slippy resulting in glass breakages (first hand experience here!!!!!).
Best hand cream around
Bought for my husband who gets hacks on his hands. After one use you can notice the difference, non greasy and does the trick. Would recommend as it works!
So far so good
Not greasy, which is my main problem with hand cream. It seems to be repairing my eczema damaged hands. So far so good. It can be sticky if you use too much but it says that on the packaging. My daughter gets sore hands too so I bought another pot for her. The perfume is quite light and doesn’t make my eczema flare up. Win wi
he best of stuff.
I’ve been working on cars my whole life also a keen gardener ,my hands and fingers were always full of hacks , usually bleeding ( it did not help me any when I had to work with cellulose paint thinners ) .then I found o’keeefes working hand’s and it is amazing .within day’s ALL my hack’s had cleared up. I know the cream is white in colour ,but in my house everyone call’s it -the green cream-due to the colour of the container. we have also discovered that it helps cold sores as well as many other things even cuts and skinned knees ( I have 5 grandchildren aged between 2 years old and 12 years old and they are always up to something .so yes o’keefes working hands is always on hand in my house.
