Jack BlackIndustrial Strength Hand Healer and Therapy Lip Balm

I have very dry skin and it's gotten way worse with constant handwashing and dishes with a baby in the house. So I knew I needed a quality hand cream and decided to try this as the lip balms are AMAZING. I've been using it a couple weeks now and I can say it's pretty great.Moisturizing--it's pretty decent. My hands are extremely bad so it might be perfect for others. It's not solving everything for me but I know that's a me problem. But this isn't greasy, soaks into the hands nicely, and I do feel a difference.Smell--one of my favorites for a hand cream ever. It's probably supposed to be a "man" scent but I'm a huge fan of eucalyptus sort of smells. It's not overwhelming but you can definitely smell it for a little while after use.I'd buy this again, it's a little pricier than I'd like but I think worth the extra cost.

This stuff is AMAZING!!!!! I started using this on my super dry and cracked feet and within 2 days there is a huge difference. So happy I found this! Super moisturizing for hands and feet, even elbows. Love it! Worth the money!

I had problems with super dry skin for years that we tried other lotions and creams as well have been to dermatologists with nothing lasting more then a few weeks before the dry skin returned. Then I found Jack Blacks Industrial Strength hand healer. I had actually received a sample size tube in one of those subscription boxes my wife gave me as a gift and have been so thankful it came when it did.It's been several years that I've used it and my hands are quite thankful. No more dry cracked skin, especially in the winter, no more shrinking cuticles. It works so well for my family(my wife and youngest son both had very dry skin as well) that we've given it as gifts to friends and extended family.When I first started using it I was quite apprehensive. I'd just spent $50 on a bottle of lotion but by that time I was willing to try just about anything that seemed to have promise or seemed reasonable. By the 2nd day of use I could feel the difference and by the 3rd day you could see the difference. For the first time in years I didn't feel like my hands were wearing a pair of gloves 2 sizes smaller than needed nor did I go to bed feeling like they were on fire.Since then it has become a staple in our house and we keep a bottle in our bathroom as well as the living room. However what I really like is you don't need a lot. About half a pump is enough for my hands and I'll apply it perhaps 2 times a day on average, usually the morning after my shower and again before bed. While it's an expensive item at $45 for the large pump bottle (16oz), it will last us well over a year.Even without dry skin or other issues this is a great product that should be in each home. It really is that good in my opinion.

'The only hand cream I have been able to find since the demise of Crabtree & Evelyn's "Gardener's Hand Recovery" that truly does heal my very dry hands. It is almost miraculous. I just ordered tubes of it for two gardening friends plus one to give to my dermatologist. The various cream samples she has in her office can't hold a candle to this, and I know she will be pleased to be able to share it with other patients.

I am a woman and used this lotion so maybe my review would be different for males. This lotion is really great, it absorbs really quickly and doesn't leave a greasy feeling on your hands (as long as you don't put too much on ). Like other reviewers mentioned, it definitely has a medicinal smell because of the eucalyptus. The smell is really strong when you first put the lotion on, which is why I only gave it a 4 star rating. The smell dissipates after about 15 minutes but initially it is overwhelming. I would recommend this lotion but I may not buy it again due to the smell.

I tend to be quite skeptical about a lot of hand lotions, because so many of them are greasy and unpleasant to have on, especially if you actually work with your hands. So many of them claim to leave your hands feeling matte, but they actually don't. I work at a computer all day, and I absolutely cannot stand greasy fingers while typing on my keyboard. So far this lotion seems to do a good job and makes me forget that I have anything on my hands.When you first apply it, it's quite thick and almost chalky, but absorbs into your skin quickly if you don't use too much. It's heavier, and quite conditioning, and it *eventually* leaves your hands feeling matte, but it takes about five minutes for the greasy and clammy feeling to leave your hands while it absorbs into the skin. The scent is pleasant and medicinal, with lots of menthol/eucalyptus. Reminds me of a barbershop or something. Also, I love that Jack Black seals their bottle openings with a foil film, so you don't need to worry about getting a previously used product or something.**The Good**- Excellent hand moisturizer- No greasy lotion feel once it absorbs- Clean and masculine scent, disappears quickly- A little goes a long way (think pea to dime-size amount)- Bottle opening is sealed with foil, don't have to worry about getting a used product- I find that I only have to apply once or twice a day, so it definitely works**The Bad**- A little pricey for hand lotion, which will deter a lot of people away from trying itI think that my biggest issue with this product is the price, which is kind of ridiculous for the amount of lotion that you get, but Jack Black already charges absurd prices for their just-slightly-above-average-performing products (which is what deterred me away for a long time). However, you really only have to use a small amount (think the size of a dime) compared to other hand lotions, which is why I like the product. The size and price will likely deter a lot of people away from this lotion unless they are Jack Black users, unfortunately.After spending some time with it, I'm finding it's become my go-to hand lotion during the day and before bed. I like the matte feeling, the eucalyptus scent, and the fact that I don't have to use a lot to get the results I want. I'll definitely be buying more of this once the bottle runs out.

I have ordered this item for several years. Great moisturizer for hands.
