I have very dry hands and they get worse during the winter. Especially now, when I do a lot of chores and the chemicals just ruin my skin. My fingertips started to peel due to these reasons. I bought this during my stay in Hong Kong and it's been a fantastic item. It healed my peeling fingertips and soothed the skin of my hands whenever I forgot to wear rubber gloves when handling harsh cleaning products. It has quite a pleasant baby powder-ish/milky fragrance and sinks in very quickly too!
