In cold weather my hands crack on the knuckles and on the bend between knuckle and nail - this can be really painful and takes ages to heal. It also itches like crazy. This cream works amazingly quickly to stop the itch and heal the cracks. Pity it's so pricey! I find the best way to use it is at night under cotton gloves. There is a strange but not unpleasant smell to the product that reminds me something mysterious in there is doing its stuff, extremely succesfully! Why isn't this on sale in Boots or elsewhere on the High Street please?
