Leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the top facial sunscreens. See what they’re recommending to their patients and why.
To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on hand creams. Consideration must be given to:
- CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream
Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC
“This hand cream is a fragrance-free lightweight formulation that moisturizes dry cracked hands. It has the added benefit of ceramides, which help repair damaged skin.”—Shari Lipner, MD, PhD, New York, New York
“From a practical standpoint, this hand cream can be applied throughout the day given its nongreasy fast-absorbing vehicle.”—Monica Schadlow, MD, New York, New York
- Maximum Body Repair
NEOVA
“I like NEOVA Maximum Body Repair for repairing sun damage on exposed areas like the hands and décolletage. It contains DNA repair technology and a copper peptide complex.”— Elizabeth K. Hale, MD, New York, New York
- Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc.
“Regular twice-daily use of this product is a nice treatment option for conditions ranging from mild hand xerosis to chronic hand dermatitis.”—Neil Fernandes, MD, Phoenix, Arizona
Recommended by Gary Goldenberg, MD, New York, New York
- O’Keeffe’s Working Hands
O’Keeffe’s Company
“This hand cream is a good option for patients for daytime use, as it provides a more waxy, rather than greasy, texture and barrier.”—Lorraine L. Rosamilia, MD, State College, Pennsylvania
