Nothing wrong with the hand cream inside the tube as it works, but the tube itself has been changed to a much stiffer plastic and it is impossible to extract the cream once the tube is not completely full, What makes it even more different is they have changed the cap from a screw top to a flip top which again, is so stiff that it stops the cream… Read more
from being dispensed. This means you do not get the full 56g paid for as quite a bit of it is left inside the tube, unable to be dispensed. The colder weather makes is more difficult to use the tube as the plastic becomes stiffer. The only way to get the full amount of cream you pay for is to cut the cube in half to get at it as it becomes emptier! There were no problems whatsoever with the previous screw top. The product is now made in Korea so perhaps they have a different plastic there. Extremely disappointing after years of using the product, but will look at others now.
Recommended by my dermatologist ten years ago; still the best i've ever used – Excellent - does the job. i buy the fragrance free which is my favourite. I have dermatitis and excema and outside of my prescription creams, this is the only one that actually does soemthing. only thing i dont like is the blue lid. doesn't look as nice as the white - i used to really like the look but don't like it at all anymore. Please revert… Read more
back!
Note: this does leave a residue so be careful not to touch your hair etc after applying. But it does work so well so i don't mind.
Awesome Urgent Hand Hydration Lotion! – It's the best readily available, urgent hand hydration lotion on the market IMO. It's easily found in chemist/pharmacies, works fast on hand (& feet I came to discover), has a neutral scent, and quickly absorbs. Use a daily lotion to keep hands soft each day and this Norwegian Formula lotion for hands that have been neglected/calloused/rough & in need of repair...then use the daily lotion moving forward.

Great product – One of the only hand creams that work for my hands. My hands are usually rough and dry prone to crack, I have used this product and it definitely improved a lot. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Show details
LOVE LOVE LOVE – I had terribly cracked and dry sore flakey hands and after just one week of using this hand cream just once in the morning and once at night time it has made such an incredible difference! I prefer to use just twice a day as it is quite thick and you really need to rub it in thoroughly plus I am not that fond of the smell but it is so worth it for the results! It really is an extensive hand repair cream for very dry hands. Show details
Fantastic – I have used this product for a long time, and I am very impressed with the way that it works. Being fragrance free, it will not irritate dry, fissured and cracked hands. This is a thick ointment, that hydrates and protects the hands and leaves a powder-dry touch finish- so you can continue on with your daily activities. TIP: I recommend applying… Read more
it onto DAMP hands- this way, it can work by sealing in the water into the skin and ensuring it stays hydrated.
Negative reviews
Aweful – Of all the hand creams I have tried over the years this one has to be the worse. I don’t have an issue with silcone based products which gives this product its concentrated consistency BUT the downside is it didn’t hydrate my hands at all but rather coated them in what felt like a protective barrier. It didn’t help with my dry cuticles either which made them feel drier in the morning. By far the best hand creams I’ve tried is Aveda and Kiehl’s.
Smells distinctly of foot odor/toe jam – As for the soft, smooth hands they claim you'll have, they're right. Unfortunately this hand cream absolutely wreaks of feet! I cannot get over spending £4.20 to make my hands smell of stinky feet.
A bit greasy but effective – This to me,is more like a balm than a hand cream. If you use too much, hands end up very greasy and it takes a long time to absorb. If you use a small amount though, it is quite good. I would only use this as an overnight hand treatment. This has a strange medicinal scent to it which I'm not that keen on but it's tolerable. You can use this as a… Read more
lip balm for chapped lips! Overall I think this product is overhyped. I have used better hand creams. Very moisturising, inexpensive, easy to find Odd scent, too greasy for daytime use

Great all rounder – Love this cream for everything else besides hands! I find it abit greasy and thick to use during the day on hands however love it on chapped lips and dry patches of skin and eczema. I’ve never had dry hands but if I did I’m sure this cream would repair! Show details
Love this, been using it for years! – I started using this hand cream about ten years ago after a friend recommended it. I love it! It can be a bit greasy but I think it works best when applied at night so it has time to do it's magic!
The best hand cream that actually works – No other hand cream works for me apart from this one. It absorbs so well and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. It works very quickly for very dry hands. It does wonders for the cuticles as well.
Soooo good! – It cured my hand eczema after a couple of days application. After giving birth 16 months ago, my hands became very very chapped and so many open sores from all the bottle washing etc etc. I used steroid cream constantly and it would get better for a couple of weeks and come back but with this cream my hands are back to pre baby! Honestly can’t recommend it enough!

love this – my hands are never dry anymore, used to get bad cracks and my hands were like sandpaper but this makes it A LOT better. Thankyou for creating such a great cream
Best cream ever!!!! – Omgggg this cream is miracle... it changes back my hand skin to my childhood after 2 times use... After giving birth my hand became so dry and this cream made the miracle very quick...
Best ever hand cream – Recommended to me by a dermatologist after the skin on my palms and fingers began cracking and splitting from using soap, detergent and other hand creams. This is the only one I use now. I keep a full sized one at home and a travel mini size in my handbag so I'm never without it! It's really moisturing and dries quickly without that sticky feeling.
No more dry hands – This lotion works wonder. I have tried so many brands and I would say this is the best. Whenever my hands start to feel dry especially in the morning and during winter I would apply this on my hands and voila my hands are smooth again. I prefer the fragrance free and this is one of the things i always have in my handbag.
Great product – Being a nurse my hands and nails are dry from washing & alcohol gels. Neutrogena cream is fabulous - economical and works much better than other hand creams I have tried. On the negative side, it is a bit sticky to apply but is worth overlooking this for the results you get. Definitely will keep buying this one.
The only cream that gets rid of my peeling skin – For years I've had peeling skin just under my nails. I've tried countless creams trying to get rid of it. One application of this cream and they were already half gone. So pleased.
Personally, The Most Effective Cream for Eczema – This is the most effective cream for hand eczema that I've discovered thus far. It has really made a difference while applying minimal amounts to any dry areas, before bed and in the morning. I'd recommend spot applications throughout the day if there is any dryness from washing hands. One of the best aspects of it is the fragrance free option, no need to smell like body soap or lady's perfume!
Dry hands gone – I'm a cleaner and use strong chemicals every day. I always had dry hands that always feel rough. Not like a ladies hands at all. Just recently i had the worst dermatologist i had in years i used it on the Monday and by Tuesday my red raw fingers were no where to been seen. I use it everyday now and would not use anything else. My hands are the smoothest i have had in years.
The best I've found! – I have ridiculously dry wrinkly hands and have tried so many products but this is by far the best!! I'm actually shocked at how good it is and I recently used it on my lips as I'd misplaced my usual lip balm and it was brilliant for that too.

Keeps My Skin Smooth – I work outside, so my skin is always in need of moisturizing and protection. This product keeps my skin smooth and protected. It goes on quick and drys quick. It does not take a large glob to work. Even after washing it till feels like it is on my skin protecting me. I feel relief immediatly. I absoloutly love this product. Will buy again!
pretty good – To the best of my memory I bought some netragenia hand cream from the towradgi gold cross chemist found it great to use as it goes.into the skin easy and provides quick relief / as I have lost my container tube I'm probably going to have to buy another one though when I was using it goes into the skin quite quickly and easily though usually I… Read more
don't like to use the tubs as if my fingers go into a tub the cream the cream will no longer be clean so I switched to using tube creams or pump containers though even though I thought about using a spoon I would find it too much of hassle to keep using a spoon and clean for the next tube unless I could possibly buy some plastic spoons / now I am tempted to buy another pack the tube one away / of totally recommend the skincare product to anyone
Absolutely love this product! – I don't find this hand cream greasy at all - but you only need the tiniest amount. It starts working instantly and even after you've washed your hands, it remains in the skin. You only need to apply it once or maybe twice a day for great results.
Amazing – I have such weather-beaten hands and have only just tried this product. After only ONE application, I had immediate relief. It is a little greasy at first but rubs in beautifully. This is the one for me from now on. I also bought the foot cream to try as my feet are a problem also.
Dream hand cream – Have been using this hand cream for many years now. It's my hand cream of choice. I put it on my hands at night as my hands are often dry especially in winter. I teach hand hygiene and hand care and have found this product effective in caring for hands and protecting against dryness and skin breaks. It's does have an initial residual..which is… Read more
why I like to put it on last thing at night. I have tried many creams over the years...as I like to check out what is on the market. However to date I always come back to this one long term in the end as it really works for me and keeps my hand soft, subtle and skin intact. happy to recommend. Looks after my hands, and is easy to use. My hands feel lovely with ongoing daily use. Nothing really as it keeps my hands safe and intact with regular use
Excellent moisturizing hand cream… – I’ve always been a fan of using moisturizing creams to protect my hand from drying. Before, I would just randomly select hand creams base on its scent and ingredient. But when I discovered using Neutrogena Norwegian hand cream, I was convinced to stop using other hand creams and swore by it. Even though this cream is fragrance-free, I still love… Read more
it because of its good moisturizing effect. A small dab of this cream is enough to keep my hands moisturized and nourished. I would definitely recommend this product. handy, since it comes in small easy tube. a little greasy though.
Best ever excema cream!!!! – My son has had excema since 3 months old, usually steroid creams are the only thing that clear his skin completely, we don't like using them, so we have tried many different alternatives. A friend told us about this hand cream, we have been using it now for 5 days and it is amazing, my sons excema on his hands, fingers and feet is the best… Read more
is ever been, almost completely clear. So happy with this product, highly recommended. works well on excema
AMAZING – It is greasy but it cures dry skin. I had seriously bad dry, chapped, sunburnt lips and this product cured them in 2 days. normally it takes weeks! overnight usage is more effective. It is a bit too greasy for the day. It is good because just a small dab is all you need. a small dab is as effective as using the whole tube at one time. this is also… Read more
good because it works on all types of dry skin not just hands. As i said before it works on lips. It also works on dry heels. reliable, no scent, inexpensive, small for easy storage cost effective slightly greasy
Perfect Hand Cream – The best hand cream I have ever used. I have very dry skin and Its the only product I have found that does what it is supposed to do and its not greasy. Not greasy, small tube easy to put in handbag, a little expensive but its worth it as you only need a bit each time you use it
Terrible – I know other people on here have waxed lyrical about this product but for me, I'd rather pay more for a nicer smelling cream from the Body Shop or elsewhere. Everytime I apply this cream, I immediately want to wash it off (which isn't easy after you've doused your hands with the stuff) and regret it straight away. It's got a very distinct odour… Read more
and it is thick and difficult to smooth onto your hands. It is a shame as Neutrogena products are normally great and economical to boot - but I would splash out on another brand for hand cream. Cheap and small for your handbag Smelly!
Excellent – This excellent, well priced product has been recommended by skin specialists and i have recommended to my friends and family. Its very concentrated so a little goes a long way. Quickly absorbed and forms a protective barrier for many hours. I now use it on my face every other night as a night cream, and i awake in the morning with soft wrinkle… Read more
free skin! an amazing moisturiser to be highly recommended. an excellent product that has reallay helped my dry sensitive hands. I Have eczema and the fragrance free product was recommended by my dermatologist. I don't have a bad thing to say!
Excellent – I have sensitive as well as dry hands, particularly in the winter months. Only after the first use, I already saw a major improvement not just with the texture but also the tone and softness of my hands. It is amazingly low priced and LASTS long! It spreads on thick but the skin penetrates it very quickly. The ingredients tend to be concentrated… Read more
with benefits to suit a vast array of skin types. I have also recommended it to my family and they just love it! The cream comes in various sizes, most favourably the travel size, which is cute and convenient to place anywhere. For such an amazing product at such a low cost, why not give it a go and experience the benefits for yourself? A real improvement in my dry hands, smells pleasant, thick and concentrated which penetrates in the skin easily. None, highly recommend it!
functional but not pretty – This is a great moisturizer for extremely dry skin. It does the job well but I don't really like the texture - it's a bit thick and doesn't seem to sink in as quickly as some more water based moisturisers. It kind of feels like Vaseline a bit. I like the small tube and it's cost affective - but I've stopped using it simply because it sometimes feels a bit greasy moisturising, size is good a bit greasy feeling
