Is there anything better than getting hella hydrated during these chilly months? Whether with lotions, butters, or treatments for your dried-out mane, giving your body a sip of moisture is exactly what the doctor ordered. Our favorite creams to smooth on, though, are for our hands — which seem to take a particularly bad beating in the winter. We're extra-thrilled if we can snag that hand-repair miracle on the cheap. So, which drugstore version ranks highest in the land? We'll let our friends over at Rank & Style decide.
The site uses customer reviews, editors' picks, and overall buzz to figure out which products are going to work the hardest for you. Consider its authors beauty lovers with a penchant for math. After crunching the numbers, Rank & Style has named Eucerin Intensive Repair Extra-Enriched Hand Creme the top dog.
Eucerin's silky-smooth lotion wins for a couple of reasons. First, it's insanely popular and has garnered some pretty stellar user reviews. On Drugstore.com, user susanhelen claims "This Intensive Repair formula made my hands soft, and the redness disappeared as soon as I used it. I could not believe the results." We dig it because it's formulated with alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), which helps to exfoliate your hands and keep them smooth. Pro tip, though: Since this contains acids, don't use it if you've got open wounds on your hands; the AHA might burn when you apply it.
Keeping your hands in tip-top shape is a necessity in the winter, but this is a product you should hang onto all year long. After all, nobody wants to shake a flaky hand.
Eucerin Intensive Repair Extra-Enriched Hand Creme, $4.79, available at Drugstore.com.
