I have dry, hardworking hands and was looking forward to this.  What a disappointment! It's thin and does virtually nothing for the dry chapped skin and cuticles on my hands.  I thought perhaps I should simply apply more, but even a small amount of this is highly scented. I felt as if I was wearing perfume on my fingertips. Every time I waved my hands in front of my face I could smell it too much. This made me feel uncomfortable about preparing a meal without washing my hands first and that thought has never occurred to me with any other hand or cuticle cream.  I happen to love and wear perfume; this is so heavily fragranced that it "competes" and that's not good.
