Hand and cuticle creams

So, after going out to dinner the Hubs and I stopped to pick up a new box fan, yay! I swung by the health and beauty department to get a good hand cream and maybe a cuticle oil, too. In an effort to be more budget conscious while I'm not working I decided that instead of using what I normally would, that I would try out a drugstore brand.  Well, the particular store we were at didn't have much of a selection, the only cuticle oil I found was for the removal of cuticles, and, I have had bad experience with products like that so I decided to forgo it. Well, the hand cream selection was a bit abysmal as well. I didn't like the smell on one, the consistency of another and so on and so fourth. Then, I found one that was called "Hand and Cuticle Therapy." It's by Curél. It says that it has "Advanced ceramide therapy." Ceramides are a family of lipid molecules, and they help to maintain the integrity of skin's outer layer. Think of them as the energy  that keeps the forcefield (your skin) around your hands strong, smooth, and young.

The Curél cream didn't have any fragrance to it, which I liked, and was a lot creamier than some of the others offered. It also contains Sweet Almond Oil, which is really good for the cuticles. After I bought it I took it out of the bag once I got to the car and put some one. The inital feeling was nice, smooth and it absorbed quickly. I have slightly sweaty hands often due to poor circulation, and was expecting this to be a little greasy, even though the packaging said that it wasn't. It claims to "soothe even the driest hands on contact and continues to moisturize even through repeated hand washings for all day softness." Well, I've only had it on about 30 minutes tops and my hands-not sweaty at the moment-are a little waxy. My hands aren't super dry or scratchy, so, I don't know how, or why, my hands are more dry now that I have this cream on. Who knows, it may just be because this is the first time I'm using it, or because of the acidity from the sweat residue on my hands. It was only about $5, so, it wasn't a total lost, though, I am going to try to continue using it before I give up on this product.

Do you use a certain hand cream or cuticule oil? How do they work? If you have any you recommend please post in the comments below! Thank you!
