CutemolCM Emollient Moisturizing Cream - For Severely Dry and Damaged Skin - Natural Beeswax Formulation containing Ceramides - Hydration for Cracked Hands and Feet, Eczema, Psoriasis (8 oz)

With regard to texture, this is exactly what I envisioned when I went on a quest to find the thickest cream I could get without resorting to slathering room-temperature lard on my dry T2 skin. Most lotions are too light, too watery, too thin, too runny and useless. Most creams are slightly better in that it's not as light or as watery or as thin or as runny as lotion, but I've found that most creams are still just ok at best.I've tried a LOT of creams for my dry skin. A LOT. Like a whole LOT. Then I finally got around to ordering this brand and this...THIS...is the THICK and occlusive vibe that I had always imagined existed.Helpful hints:1. Apply right after a bath, shower or after just washing your hands or feet. A bit of moisture already on the skin makes this work that much better from the get go.2. A little goes a long way. Start out with a dab, then add more as needed. Too much and it will leave a distinct white cast and you'll either have to wipe it on another area you weren't planning on covering or you'll have to wipe off the excess altogether.3. It's not going to absorb in quickly like a lotion or lighter-formula cream so don't expect it to. It will remain a bit tacky for a spell.4. If using on feet or hands - put socks or cotton gloves over it before going to bed for added relief.5. There is "fragrance" added, which I'm totally opposed to for 99.99 percent of products, but it's last on the list so there's less of it in theory. The scent is weird. It's not overpowering to any else, but I smell it and it's weird. It has a medicinal meets car repair garage scent to it.Having said that, the benefits of this super rich, super thick cream makes me overlook the funky scent, and as someone who fancies themselves "sensitive to fragrance", that says a lot.I will say that I've not yet tried it on my face, but it works great for neck (helps hide some of that turkey neck waddle from using tretinoin), elbows, hands, knees, feet, etc.

Great product! It also helps to heal wounds from dermatological work. This is such a great moisturizer. Works better for me than CereVe healing ointment. It does take a bit to soak in, so avoid touch screens for at least 15 minutes. If you are impatient, you can wear cotton gloves.

You can always tell a good cutical and nail cream by it's texture. It should feel waxy to the touch and go on smoothly, leaving a shiny texture to your cuticles and nails for some time after applying. If it soaks into the skin, it's NOT cuticle cream, it's HAND LOTION. My nails are a mess, brittle & dry and my cuticles are even worse. Over the winter the pain from my cuticles ripping and tearing leaves my fingers aching. I had previously tried a cuticle cream that was available from Bath & Body works and it was excellent. It came in a 2oz tub, but they have since discontinued it. I spent a little over a year searching for a good cuticle cream, but most of them contain too much water. A water based cutical cream won't stick like a mostly wax based cutical cream and will soak into the skin. You would think that's what you want, right? Wrong! Actually it's a wax based cutical cream that seals, heals and protects cuticals and nails. Cutemol having two main wax ingrediants does the job well. This is not a fix all, as you will still find your cuticles splitting (if you have dry skin like me) but if you apply a good amount of cutemol every night before bed (wearing "sleep gloves" also helps) this will most definitely heal up a good portion of hang nails, split nails and rough cuticles. I recommend massaging vigorously into your nail bed, using a soft brush if possible. Apply extra cutemol if needed. Massaging the cutemol in deeply helps stimulate skin growth and will also help heal your hands and fingers. I also highly recommend this item for dry feet and heels. I had been using the Burts Bee's foot cream and to be honest this works 10 times better (and costs much less!).Beware! This is NOT HAND CREAM. It is going to go on and stay on looking waxy, and if you are not familiar with cutical cream you may think this is strange. Trust me, a GOOD cuticle cream will need to look and feel that way.All in all this is one of the best products I've tried for the price. Even pricier cuticle creams don't have the same effectiveness and texture as Cutemol.I highly recommend it!

Bear with me bc this is long. I have had a cast on my leg for two months that goes from just under the knee down to the toes. This is my second round with this (ankle injury/surgery) and I know from the first round that the skin dryness that comes with a cast is insane and most lotions don’t even touch it. My PT from the first round of surgery and casting used an emollient on my skin and explained that is the best thing to use for such a high level of dry skin. I bought this product SPECIFICALLY because it says it’s an emollient. I have to say it definitely works and the moisture lasts. It doesn’t just evaporate in minutes and look like nothing was ever put on. My skin still looks hydrated hours later. I even used it on my dry cuticles on my hands just to see and I am very impressed. The bottle isn’t as large as I would have hoped but a little cream goes a long way so I think it’ll last. I have one kid with psoriasis and another kid who just has naturally dry skin. I think this cream would also be great for them so I am going to buy a few more bottles and just keep it on hand. This might be my new lotion staple. Definitely worth the cost. There is a slight heaviness to it initially but it’s worth it to get rid of the extreme dryness. There is no scent and it does not irritate my very sensitive skin at all, so that is yet another positive.

This is a great moisturizing product!I only gave this 4 stars because I have to pat it all over my hands before I can rub it into my skin. It can really pull on your skin if you try to use it like other creams.
