O'Keeffe's Working Hands Pot - 96g

O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream Pot 96 g is a highly concentrated, therapeutic hand cream specially formulated to relieve, hydrate and help repair extremely dry, cracked skin on the hands. Its unique formulation works to boost moisture levels and help prevent moisture loss, creating a protective layer on the skin’s surface that supports improved comfort and skin condition with repeated daily use.

This non-greasy, unscented cream absorbs effectively while leaving a protective barrier that helps skin retain essential hydration, making it suitable for hands exposed to frequent washing, cold weather, manual work or environmental stressors.

Pharmacy-aligned advice:

• For best results, incorporate into your daily skin care routine — consistent use can help improve moisture retention and skin resilience.

• This product is suitable for general dry skin relief but seek clinical advice if there is severe redness, swelling or signs of infection.
