I got one in a pharmacy called Wuta-Camomille. It comes in a little green tin with a daisy image. Seems to do the job.

Lush on Henry street does a good one.

Silcocks Base is brilliant, if you have really dry skin you can also use it as a shower gel. I've seen huge buckets ( well not litreally) of the stuff in boots in the Jervis centre, any good chemist should have it though. Give it a try. It's a lifesaver in my opinion.

I think Neutrogena are famous for being the best hand cream. As far as I know they were the first to make hand cream. They invented it in Scandinavia for the fishermen who were working in harsh conditions, so their hands were extremely dried out. I may be wrong, but that's what my Mum told me, and she's usually right. But I personally like Vaseline Intensive Care Hand and Nail Lotion cause it smells just lovely!

silcox base is really good for protecting your hands if they get bad in harsh conditions etc-kinda feels like sudocrem
neutragena or atrixo would be the best for just making your hands feel really soft and nice

L'Occitane do a great hand cream, it's quite expensive but brilliant and it lasts for ages.

It works out alot cheaper if you buy it from qvc it you are interested in buying it.

The others suggestions about silicox base sounds good, I never used it as a hand cream myself but it's a good idea!

I LURVE their handcream, check out their lavendar foot cream too, lovely.

Elizabeth Arden do a really good hand moisturiser. I got the hand and nail cream recently, absolute rubbish

Lush do this one called Helping Hands, my Mum is a nurse and is also fond of gardening so her hands used to be wrecked but she says Helping Hands is fantastic. Oh and it's not a handcream exactly but they have a cuticle cream called Lemony Flutter that I'm obsessed with, it smells like lemon meruinge (sp?) pie and my nails have never been in such good condition! I think my Mum has used the Neutrogena one as well, she says it's also pretty good, that's the one that's popular with Norwegian fishermen
