I was not expecting to love this as much as I do. It is amazing! I wash my hands dozens of times throughout the day, and this offers protection from drying out even through a couple of hand washings. It is easier to apply than the hard lotion, especially when my hands are so dry my knuckles bleed. I use this at night and then at least once more during the day, and my hands are noticeably softer and my fingertips less rough. I only wish it came in vanilla like the hard lotion bar. Highly recommend!
