If you work with your hands, you already know — not all damage is the same.
Some days, it's just a little dryness from constant hand-washing or glove sweat. Other days, it’s deep cracks, peeling skin, or burns from harsh chemicals.
That’s why we don’t make a one-size-fits-all solution.
At Heavy Handed, we built two products — both tough, both effective — but designed for different levels of wear.
So if you’re not sure where to start, here’s how to pick the right one for your hands.
Light to Moderate Damage
This is your everyday workhorse. Great for when your hands are starting to feel rough, dry, or tight — but not shredded.
Use The Cream if you’re dealing with:
Dryness from frequent washing or glove use
Tight, uncomfortable skin
Mild calluses or rough spots
Day-to-day wear from office work, nursing, hairstyling, or light tool use
Why it works:
It absorbs fast, doesn’t leave greasy residue, and fits right into your daily routine. Easy to keep at your station, throw in your truck, or use between shifts.
For Real Damage
This is the heavy hitter. Built for skin that’s already torn up — deep cracks, peeling calluses, or chemical burns.
Reach for RX when you’ve got:
Open splits or bleeding cracks
Grout burns, harsh chemical exposure
Thick, hardened calluses that are starting to peel
Heavy wear from construction, drilling, plumbing, or mechanical work
Why it works:
It’s ultra-healing, thicker than The Cream, and meant to be used overnight or post-shift when your hands need serious recovery.
Truth is, not every day is the same. Some days are light. Others push your skin to the limit.
That’s why a lot of us use both:
The Cream during the day to stay ahead of dryness
The Cream RX at night for recovery after a tough shift
It’s not about soft hands — it’s about keeping your skin strong enough to keep going.
If you’re wondering which is the best hand cream for working hands, here’s the quick breakdown:
| Product | Best For | Use When | Skin Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Cream | Light/Moderate Wear | Daily, Anytime | Dry, Tight, Mildly Rough |
| The Cream RX | Severe Damage | Overnight or After Long Shifts | Cracked, Split, Hardened |
You don’t need a spa cream. You need something that works as hard as you do — no fluff, no greasy mess, just real recovery for rough hands.
Tough hands don’t have to be rough hands.
Cheers,
HH Team
