13 Best Hand Creams of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Hi, I'm a girl with eczema who would rather suffer through redness, irritation, and inflammation than go on another prescribed steroid cream. Hot take? Maybe, but in my personal experience with steroid skin withdrawal (hi, angrier, more intense symptoms), this take feels justified. Eczema is a recurrent, long-term condition that comes and goes, so in order to deal with the not-so-fun symptoms sans steroids, I had to find a gentle skin cream that relieves the pain and irritation when my eczema flares.

To my very pleasant surprise, that solution lay at the drugstore and only cost me a few bucks. Gold Bond's hand cream for eczema relief is one of the best I've found, thanks to its formulation of high-potency soothing colloidal oatmeal and a slew of antioxidants and hydrators. Plus, it also is certified by the National Eczema Association, meaning sweet, sweet relief is finally near.

  • Size: 3 oz

Glowing Customer Review: "I have dyshidrotic eczema on my palms and fingers [and] I was amazed when I felt relief instantly upon using this for the first time. It’s super lightweight and is truly the only product that really hydrates my skin. Since these bumps are untreatable and breakouts are inevitable, I’m so glad I found a product that helps me feel some relief."
