Aquaphor is what I used before moving on to Vanicream.

I have horrible cracks on my fingers plus really dry hands, Miracle Hand Cream from Bed Bath and Beyond is the only lotion I have found that works....lots of good suggestions, esp. adding healthy fats into your diet. Hope something works for you Kathy!

My dad gets cracks in the fingertips in the winter and he swears by Working Hands. I've seen it at Target and Pep Boys of all places.

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions I think I was so focused on getting back to the basics with my eating the last 4 months I let the amount of fat go too low. Going to up it and can't wait to try all the products you guys shared. Thanks again and I will let you know

I'm a fan of Cerave cream/lotion. (I have an Rx product for when my skin actually cracks/bleeds.)

I put the Cerave on after showering and I've found I need the Rx product much less. I also have a stick of cocoa butter for my surgical scars. Works great on my lips, too.

At night, I put lotion on my hands and feet and wear cotton socks and gloves* to sleep. Works great. (*I found both at the dollar store.)

My CPAP has a humidifier, but I occasionally put some Vaseline on my lips at night when they're really dry.

I agree you may need to address this from the inside out with healthy fats

I really like Neutrogena hand cream, unscented. It takes a little work to rub in, but I like it best of all the hand lotions I have tried.

For my feet, I like Avon callus cream, with peppermint.

As an expensive option, I love DHC brand "Olive Butter." It has a nice rose scent. It is so luxurious.
