Jesabel - I have very sensitive skin and my hands usually dry to the point of cracking in winter. I have tried all of the above - held out much hope for the body shop Hemp Hand Protector but it stung my hands and didn't really do much. I originally brought it for DH (he's a mechanic) and it hasn't really worked for him either unfortunately.

I brought Lucas' Pawpaw ointment and it worked a treat! Completely healed the cracking (although because my hands were so bad they were a bit red and inflamed for the first few days of applying the ointment) and my hands have been fantastic ever since.

I have heard really good things about the Hemp Hand Protector, unfortunately it just didnt work for us, Lulu is right though, one tube will last you forever!

Lulu - do you know if they sell the cotton gloves in big sizes (really big!)?? My DH's hands are really bad so I'd love to get him to try this, not sure if he'd do it but worth a shot! He's complaining to me every night now how sore they are so he might be willing to try it.
