Meh.
I'm an RN- I can easily wash my hands or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer 80-120 times (or more) in a 12 hour shift. Lately my hands have been as dry and rough as sandpaper. Bought this product to try and I'm not impressed. It does not provide the deep moisturizing effect that I'm looking for. This product has a distinct 'silicone' feel so I wasn't surprised to see dimethicone listed as one of the ingredients, (my own fault for not checking beforehand!) Personally I don't care care for the pseudo silky feel. The epidermis (outer layer of skin) is made up of dead skin cells so coating them with a silicone based product does nothing for the dermis (inner layer of skin) because silicone doesn't penetrate the skin. The body uses oil to naturally hydrate the skin, skin gets dry because we are constantly stripping these natural oils out of our skin taking hot showers, using soaps and hand sanitizers, etc. so I will be sticking with a more natural moisturizer because I want to heal my skin from the inside out, not just slap a quick fix on it.
