The 16 Best Hand Creams for Soft, Supple Skin

Sleek, chic, and scent-free—we're into it. If you've got rough patches, this formula's niacinamides and marula oil will help hydrate and heal compromised skin.

Want buttery, soothing relief without the sticky residue? Malin & Goetz' hydrating cocktail of fatty acids, almond extract and vitamin B5 sinks right in. 

Eczema flare-ups are uncomfortable and often hard to manage, but this lotion has many fans thanks to its intensely healing, colloidal oatmeal-infused ingredient list.

Payot is a favorite amongst Parisian cool girls, and this honey extract-infused formula will fit right in your tote. 

Pai is known for its gentle offerings, and their hand cream is a standout. Sea buckthorn oil will restore even the most raw, chapped palms. 

If your knuckles are torn to shreds from hand sanitizer and constant scrubbing, use this deeply nourishing treatment before bed. Hot tip: slather it on, then slide on gloves to help the formula penetrate before a DIY mani. 

If wrinkles are a skincare concern for you, it might be time to add some hand care to your routine. Dr. Sturm's luxe formula addresses signs of aging as well as hydration: Daisy Flower Extract targets age spots while hyaluronic acid and quince plump the skin to reduce the appearance of lines. 

This line's rose cream has a cult following, but I'm partial to the citrus scent. It's the house hand cream at NYC salon Paintbox, and it smells like Froot Loops, somehow? It's flat out delicious.

This floral formula is la vie en rose, bottled. It smells sophisticated but never stuffy, and it's enriched with macadamia oil and aloe vera to hydrate thirsty hands. 

The brand's Gypsy Water perfume is a favorite amongst beauty editors (myself included) and the adjacent hand cream is no different. The chic little tube can fit in your back pocket, and it smells like a dream. 

If you're trying to apply hand cream while you're out and about (which is often, for me at least, thanks to the boatload of hand sanitizer I've been running through) this adorable snap cap makes it easy. 

Bader's formulas are famous for their healing powers, and the brand's new hand cream imbues the same benefits for cracked, moisture-stripped hands. Shea butter, vitamin E, and glycerin hydrate while a proprietary complex boosts cell turnover.  

Japanese Indigo is a botanical coveted for it's soothing and healing effects, and Tatcha's silky cream blends it with squalane to baths hands in 

If your perfume collection might as well be a rose garden, this is the cream you'll want in your purse at all times.  Rose butter, rose blossom essential wax, rosehip oil, black rose extract and pastel rose extract are all blended to create a nourishing treat for dry skin.

Sure, it's a splurge, but one that's well worth it: consider this anti-aging formula a time machine in a bottle. It hydrates and strengthens the skin on dry hands, and increases elasticity so it's harder for new wrinkles to form.
