It will also help relieve the pain associated with deeply cracked skin.

Our Guest Reviewer, Jeannette, Says: This creme is part of a natural line of products using organic ingredients, homeopathic remedies and vitamins. This particular product contains ingredients
such as Aloe Vera, Arnica and Jojoba Oil to encourage healing and to help repair damaged skin.

I have extremely dry hands that chap and crack often, especially in the colder months. The first thing I noticed upon application is that it absorbs quickly and is not greasy. It does have a medicine like fragrance which I do not care for.

My hands felt soft at first and gradually became very dry, a reaction I sometimes have to products that I am sensitive too. I had to use one of my lotions after each application. It did seem to heal the cracks on my hands and cleared up the redness, however I noticed that it does dull your manicure. I also tried it on my feet and it worked well with out sensitivity there.

My personal results after using this creme several weeks were that is does seem to have healing properties and I would use this product on my feet. However would not use this on my hands because there was something in this product I was sensitive too. If you have skin issues, this is a product you might want to give a try, caution to those with sensitive skin.
