Different but good
This isn’t like a thick hand cream that takes time to absorb. It’s a thin cream that absorbs like water which is usually what your skin really needs. Since we had to slather our hands with sanitizer last year, my fingers have dried up and are cracked like a dry desert. I find if I mix with Jack Black hand cream, it seems to help better than anything else I’ve tried. It just won’t seem to totally heal.

Cured the dry, peeling skin on my hands.
I had never experienced eczema or another skin ailment that caused my hands to dry out and peel this past dry winter. But I used this product along with another moisturizer and I think it was the Avene Restorative Hand Cream that alleviated the skin peeling. However, I wouldn't use it on a regular basis as it felt like my hands were wearing a pair of gloves, which wasn't a sensation I liked.

Decent Hand Cream
This hand cream is gentle, and great for sensitive skin. It just didn't hydrate as much as I was hoping for, especially for the price.

Avene Cicalfate Hand Restorative Hand Cream
Needed a good moisturizer for hands to place on top of antiaging serum. This feels thick but goes on smooth and absorbs well. Use it every night.

Wonderful hand cream
Perfect consistency - thin enough to use for daytime but thick enough for night time too. It's fragrance free and great for sensitive skin that is in need of restoring and hydrating.

Different!
This actually works! It’s different from others in that you feel like it might be greasy but when it goes on it’s smooth silky and hydrating. Will buy again.

Was hopeful
I was excited to try this hand cream because of the brand; however, I am quite disappointed. The consistency is thin and not a "rich" feeling on my hands....especially considering the price. I was hopeful, but there are better hand creams for much less.

Best hand cream!
For the life of me, I always have dry cuticles and hangnails! But Avene's Cicalfate really moistens and repairs! And you don't have to use a lot because it's so rich and concentrated! Great for my heels as well!

Very Nice
This is a nice rich cream that melts into my skin. I am thrilled that I have zero allergies. Scent is very light.

Nice clean scent.
Nicely sized tube that is easy to use and will fit in a bag or briefcase. Thick cream that absorbs quickly and is at a fair price, too.

Great Hand Cream
I have been using this cream for years and it is the one I use. I found this cream in a drugstore in CapeTown, South Africa and feel in love with this line, but particularly the hand cream. It is the best.

Avenue Cicalfate Hand Restorative Hand Cream
I live in South Texas so cold weather is a short season but this really worked well for me this year with the constant hand washing for flu prevention, immediately hydrates, absorbs quickly, not greasy or sticky. Good for 5 hand washings before reapplying so most days I only use 2-3 times. Really kept my hands and fingers healthy for the season.

Best Hand Cream I've Ever Used
I used to pick hand creams based on fragrance. For unknown reasons I have developed allergic reactions to any creams that have added scents. With the massive amount of hand washing/sanitizing as well as cleaning, I contracted eczema all over the top of my hands. This product was recommended to me to help bring down the inflammation. It feels silky smooth, moisturizes, and a little goes a long way. It may seem pricey, but for someone with hypersensitive skin, this is my go to hand cream and I cannot recommend anything better - even for someone who doesn't have sensitive skin

Absorbs quickly but not the best moisturizer
I like how this hand cream absorbs quickly. There' s no greasy residue. However, I didn't feel like my hands were very moisturized afterward. Overall, not worth the money to me.

Very moisturizing, non greasy lotion
I purchased for my two girls with eczema. One that had very bad hand eczema didn’t get much help, but she still uses it along with a prescription of Ellidel . We tried the Avene for 3 weeks before visiting the doctor so we did give it ample time to show some improvement. My other daughter has a spit on her leg and it’s helping, but not as much as triamcinolone helps. These are both great hand creams with a discount, but not for cases of eczema imho. I read the study but unfortunately it didn’t work for my kids.

Good
Although this hand cream was good, it did not address my mature and severely dry skin. It would likely work well for those who do not have very dry, sensitive, mature skin.

Didn’t like this.
It’s the weirdest hand cream the first day I used I put it in a box never to use again. It was horrible it felt extremely greasy going on and then when it dried out it gave my hands a weird feel when dried. It’s hard to describe. It wasn’t for me.

Soaks Right In
I typically avoid hand cream because it leaves my hands feeling greasy, and I tend to touch my hair a lot. This soaks right in while it works, as if I have nothing on my hands. Definite improvement. Will continue to use.

Effective at combating dry skin and skin allergies.
I started using the Cicalfate hand cream to combat issues related to contact dermatitis and allergies to preservatives used in most moisturizers. It's helped a great deal. Also keeps my hands from drying out and splitting. I do a lot of work with my hands and my wife often notes how soft they are. Far more effective than other hand creams I've tried. A little goes a long way. When I asked a dermatologist about the difference between this and the standard Cicalfate cream I was told the hand one spreads easier and that it should hold up to a few hand washings. Both have their place in our home.
