This is probably one of the best hand creams I have used thus far. No other handcream comes close to this one. I like the fragrance free version best, but I will also use the perfumed one as well. Use it at night and also during the day. I have used Neutrogena Hand Cream for years as nothing else could soften my feet or cuticles as well. It's always consistent in it's moisturization plus has no fragrance. I use it after the pool, after watering the yard, after washing dishes- basically after any exposure to water or extreme. I noticed an improvement after the first application. Yes, it's thick....
