The Concentrated Classic for Dry, Cracked Hands
Why This Formula Works (Glycerin Power)
Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula centers on a high level of glycerin—an ultra-effective humectant that pulls water into the outer skin layers and keeps it there. The texture is dense and cushiony, designed to create a protective veil that softens rough patches fast.
Texture & Finish: Dense, Cushiony, Non-Greasy Once Set
A tiny pearl spreads into a silky film that absorbs as you massage it in. Expect immediate comfort without a slippery residue—so you can type, drive, and use your phone right away.
Who It’s For (And When to Use)
Perfect for very dry, chapped hands; frequent hand washers; healthcare, hospitality, kitchen, and outdoor workers; and anyone facing cold, windy, or low-humidity environments. It’s also a smart night treatment for hands that feel tight by evening.
Fragrance-Free vs. Scented Options
If your skin is sensitive or cracked, choose fragrance-free. If you enjoy a light, clean scent, the scented version adds a subtle freshness without changing how the cream performs.
How to Apply for Maximum Relief
Use a pea-size amount. Rub palms together to warm, then concentrate on the backs of hands, between fingers, and around cuticles. Reapply after washing or sanitizer use. For severe dryness, layer a touch more over knuckles and nail folds.
Overnight Repair Protocol
Before bed, apply a slightly thicker layer and massage for 60 seconds per hand. Slip on thin cotton gloves to lock in moisture. By morning, skin feels noticeably softer and more flexible.
Cracks, Redness, and Rough Spots: Targeted Fixes
Dab a pinpoint of cream directly into splits and along the sides of nails, then seal with another thin layer over the whole hand. Avoid hot water and harsh soaps; switch to lukewarm washes to protect the skin barrier while you heal.
Work & Kitchen Friendly (No Slip, No Smears)
The concentrated formula sinks in quickly when used sparingly. Pro tip: apply mainly to the backs of hands so fingertips stay grippy for tools, knives, steering wheels, and touchscreens.
Winter, Travel, and Sanitizer Survival
Cold air + frequent sanitizer = dehydration. After sanitizer dries, apply a pea-size amount to restore comfort. On flights or in heated rooms, reapply every few hours—small amounts layered often beat one heavy coat.
