O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream for Severely Dry and Cracked Skin

 

You can rely on this concentrated hand cream to provide relief for severely dry, cracked, and split skin on your hands. The formula creates a protective barrier on your skin's surface whilst delivering moisture to help restore your skin's natural barrier function. This 96g jar provides long-lasting relief for hands that are exposed to harsh conditions, frequent washing, or demanding work environments.

The cream absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it suitable for use throughout your working day. Its concentrated formula means you only need a small amount to cover both hands effectively, making each jar economical for regular use.

 

How This Concentrated Formula Works on Damaged Skin

 

The cream works by forming a protective seal over your skin that helps prevent moisture loss whilst allowing your natural healing process to take place. The formula contains ingredients that help to soften hardened skin and reduce the appearance of cracks and splits that can develop from repeated exposure to harsh conditions.

Unlike regular hand creams, this concentrated formula is specifically designed to address severely compromised skin barriers. It helps to restore flexibility to hardened skin areas and provides ongoing protection against environmental factors that can worsen dry skin conditions.

 

Who Benefits Most from This Hand Treatment

 

This hand cream is particularly suitable for you if your hands are regularly exposed to challenging conditions that cause severe dryness and cracking. Many people find it helpful when other skin care products haven't provided adequate relief for their damaged hands.

The cream is especially beneficial for:

  • People whose work involves frequent hand washing or exposure to harsh chemicals
  • Those who work outdoors in cold or windy conditions
  • Individuals with naturally dry skin that becomes severely cracked
  • Anyone experiencing painful splits or deep cracks in their hand skin

 

Why This Fragrance-Free Formula Suits Sensitive Skin

 

The fragrance-free formulation reduces the risk of skin irritation, making it suitable for you if you have sensitive skin or work in environments where strong scents aren't appropriate. The absence of added fragrances also means the cream is less likely to interfere with your sense of smell during detailed work tasks.

This makes the cream particularly suitable for healthcare workers, food handlers, and others who need effective hand care without added fragrances that might be problematic in their work environment.

 

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

 

You can use this cream safely alongside most other topical treatments, though you should allow adequate time between applications of different products. The cream is suitable for daily use and can be applied as frequently as needed to maintain skin comfort and protection.

Store the jar at room temperature and ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to maintain the cream's consistency and effectiveness. The concentrated nature of the formula means it remains stable under normal storage conditions and doesn't require refrigeration.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

How to Apply This Concentrated Hand Cream

You should apply a small amount of cream to clean, dry hands, focusing on areas that are particularly dry or cracked. Massage the cream thoroughly into your skin, paying special attention to knuckles, fingertips, and any areas where cracks have developed. The concentrated formula means you need only a small amount to cover both hands effectively.

When and How Often to Use This Treatment

You can apply the cream as often as needed throughout the day, particularly after washing your hands or when you notice your skin feeling tight or uncomfortable. Many people find it most effective when applied before bedtime to allow overnight repair, and again in the morning before starting work or daily activities. For severely damaged skin, you may need to apply the cream several times daily initially, then reduce frequency as your skin condition improves.

Possible Side Effects of This Hand Treatment

Like all medicines, O'Keeffe's Working Hands can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. If you're exploring different creams and ointments for your skin condition, it's important to be aware of potential reactions.

Most people tolerate this hand cream well, but some may experience mild skin irritation or allergic reactions, particularly if they have very sensitive skin or allergies to specific ingredients.

Possible side effects may include:

  • Mild skin irritation at the application site
  • Redness or warmth on the treated area
  • Itching or tingling sensation
  • Skin rash or hives
  • Increased sensitivity to touch
  • Temporary stinging upon application
  • Allergic contact dermatitis
  • Worsening of existing skin conditions

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
