6 Hand Creams That Do More Than Just Moisturize
A simple way to self-soothe? Start with the parts of yourself that do the most.
From creams and serums to lotions and balms, these six products put you in good hands.
1. Christian Dior Le Baume
Translating to the balm, Dior Beauty’s take on hand cream gets an upgrade to an all-over cream, designed for use on the hands, lips, and body. Pocket-friendly with a flip-top cap, this is three-in-one care that’s on the go.
2. Urtekram Find Balance Fragrance Free Hand Cream
When the Nordic beauty brand formulated this hand cream, they did so with the allergy prone and those with sensitive skin in mind. It’s sans scent, but rich in hydration with ingredients like aloe vera.
3. LA Bruket 273 Rejuvenating Hand Serum
A targeted product for those who always have their hands full. Rose water in the formula soothes irritation, brown algae and humectants like glycerin encourage hydration, and vitamin C brightens dark spots on always-exposed skin.

4. L’Occitane Shea Butter Hands & Body Extra-Gentle Lotion
The lighter offshoot of the cult Shea Butter Hand Cream, the Extra-Gentle version contains 5 percent shea butter instead of 20. The adjustment means we still get the butter’s skin protection benefits, only with faster absorption.
5. Guerlain Paris Rosa Verde Hand Cream
With a shape inspired by honeycomb, the historic French beauty brand’s approach on hand cream instinctively shares its star ingredient: beeswax butter. This hydrates without greasiness, and leaves behind a fresh-floral scent.
6. Cùco Pure Touch Perfume Hand Cream in Bask
Homegrown brand Cùco understands that Filipinos love the potential of a multi-use product. With fragrance notes of peach, cherry blossom, and white musk, Bask has a sweet, fruity-floral scent, doubling as hand care and perfume.
