    I have sebhorric dermatitis, and my hands and feet peel and crack. Many lotions make this condition worse, and the ones that worked were either greasy ointment type stuff or pretty expensive. (I have one therapeutic hand cream that 8 oz costs more than the four pack of this stuff!!) I recieved this as a gift and was a bit apprehensive.

    I also have Keratosis Pilaris (Chicken skin disease) where there are tiny bumps on my upper arms. I haven’t tried to treat this in a while because everything I used years ago didn’t work.

    This stuff works. It softens my hands and feet. (If you are due for a pedi and don’t have time, just put a dab of this on your feet, and they will feel super soft)My arms are practically flawless after a couple days of using this stuff, and I am so excited to have nice arms again.

    It has a clean scent, that I don’t mind. It doesn’t seem to conflict with my perfume. The label has the cute vintage look that is big in ‘apothecary’ items these days. I don’t believe this is part of the ‘natural’ line by JR Watkins.

    The four pack is perfect to keep around the house and at work for easy softening anytime. I plan on giving tubs to my girlfriends in their birthday gift baskets so that they can love it as much as I do.

    I just love this wonderful product. The cream is rich and silky feeling and makes my hands feel wonderful. It is hard to find but worth the search.

    Like many of you, I spend a lot of hours each day pecking on a computer. Most creams or lotions which I used on my dry, cracked hands left an oily or greasy residue which fouled my keyboard. I was cleaning my keyboard several times a day which became time consuming and annoying. Then I discovered J.R. Watkins Ultra-Rich. This cream is light yet rich and leaves no lingering oily residue. I keep a tub of it beside my computer and smooth it on my hands frequently. Within a few seconds I can return to my keyboard without smudging the keys. In fact, I sometimes forget I have it on until I wash my hands and feel the lotion liquifying, so I know it has still been protecting my skin. It quickly healed the cracked and peeling skin on my thumbs and around my nails and has kept my hands smooth and soft. It has an extremely light unisex fragrance much like the fresh aroma of bath(bar)soap. And the fragrance doesn’t linger around like some other creams. A few minutes after applying it I can’t even smell it unless I put my hands up to my face. I would recommend it to anyone, of either gender, who wants a reasonably priced hand cream that does the job. Keep in mind that my review is based on my personal usage of the product which consists of frequent applications daily, perhaps a dozen or more. I wash my hands frequently (it is cold and flu season) and reapply my Watkins each time. One final remark. I used to purchase Watkins through another online merchant but was pleasantly surprised to find it at a better price on Amazon. Between the lower price and free shipping I saved almost 25% with Amazon.

    This hand cream is the only hand cream that I have tried that has healed my dry and chapped hands.My finger tips crack in the winter and the small cracks are painful. Using this cream has prevented this from happening.Excellent value for the money!

    I have incredibly sensitive skin, to the point that my skin will often crack and bleed from only a few second exposure to a winter wind. I have tried every product on the market, been precribed numerous products and altered my diet to try and prevent this condition, yet nothing has helped. This product has been miraculous for me. I use it nightly before bed during the Fall, Winter and Spring and no longer suffer from any skin problem. I love the four pack because I like to keep a tub in my travel case. Once you get used to this product, you don’t like to be without it!!
