Dry skin? Cerave's dermatologist-approved Therapeutic Hand Cream is down to $9

With hyaluronic acid and ceramides, it absorbs quickly to soothe and heal: 'Best lotion ever'

We are just a week away from Groundhog Day, the day we'll find out if spring will arrive early or if we'll have another six weeks of winter tacked onto the calendar. Either way, it's still going to be cold for a while, and cold weather equals thirsty skin. If you're looking for some relief, the Cerave Therapeutic Hand Cream is on sale at Amazon for just $9 when you apply the on-page coupon.

Non-greasy and fragrance-free, this treatment hydrates, repairs and soothes dry hands with ceramides and hyaluronic acid and provides long-lasting protection.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

This cream goes on sale throughout the year, but rarely dips below this price and we don't expect it to go any lower until next December.

Why do I need this? 🧐

This cream made it to our list of Best Anti-Aging Hand Creams, and not one but two dermatologists endorse its healing effects. Dr. Debra Jaliman, a New York City-based, board-certified dermatologist, recommends it because "it contains hyaluronic acid, which hydrates the skin, and ceramides, which help to protect the skin barrier. And it has niacinamide, which evens skin tone."

Dr. Sonia Batra, host of the CBS syndicated daytime talk show The Doctors and a board-certified dermatologist, likes it too: "It absorbs quickly and can be used throughout the day after handwashing without feeling greasy. It contains three ceramides to restore the barrier of the skin and is fragrance-free."

If cracked, chapped skin is normal for you in the winter, this cream could change all that. The restorative ingredients provide long-lasting hydration and protection in the dryest and coldest weather.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 4,700 shoppers have given this cream a five-star rating.

Pros 👍

"Best lotion ever," gushed a 63-year-old rave reviewer. "First lotion that worked for me! Dry hands my whole life and it really does work thanks for such a great product!"

"I have had a problem with my hands looking old from being washed so much," shared a five-star fan. "This product has made a big difference in how my hands look. They are soft and not rough like before. Great product."

"I am a mechanic," wrote another super fan. "I have chronically dry skin on my hands due to frequent washing, chemical exposure, and of course the rough nature of the job I perform. It gets particularly bad during the winter months. I get 'splits' in the skin of my fingertips all the time, and they are excruciating as I work. A physician recommended this hand cream to me and OMG does it work! It really, really, really improves the quality of my skin and I seldom get cracked fingertips anymore."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers don't like the way it leaves their hands feeling.

"It is not greasy once you rub it in, but what I don't like is the feel when I wash my hands," shared one customer. "Even using hand soap my hands feel tacky sticky until I wash them a couple times and then dry them good."

Another shopper wrote: "After it sinks in(within 2 minutes), it leaves my hands feeling filmy."

Frequent washing and dry winter weather are no match for this lotion. It restores the skin barrier and locks in moisture to give you soft, supple skin year-round.
