Works great!

My husband is a HVAC mechanic and I’m a nurse and this cream has really worked great for both of us! A little really does go a long way and it doesn’t make my hands feel greasy. These products have easily become a staple in our routines.

Great

Works just as intended. Healed my hands in a few short days after plenty of abuse in the gym

Fixed FAST!!

I’m new to the CrossFit world and had my first rip. I ordered this product the same day as my rip. It was at my door in just a few days (ordered on a Saturday) and overnight my skin was regrowing rapidly compared to the days before.

Amazing product! I have no reason to use or try anything else!

Cream is great, the pump is trash

Really like the cream, unfortunately after using it for a couple weeks, the pump no longer works. 5 stars for the cream, 0 stars for the pump.

THE BEST

Bout this for my dad because he has the roughest hands. He never, and I mean NEVER, sticks with anything to help out but he does this! I ended up trying some and I LOVE the way it makes my hands feel without feeling like there is residue left. defiantly buying more!

Also a little bit goes a long way! So it makes it even more wallet friendly!
