Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
Formulated for the driest, most active hands, this heavy–duty moisture treatment is a thick, rich formula offering all–day care and protection. Our blend of select ingredients allows skin to actually draw and absorb water from the air, forming a "glove–like" protective barrier against moisture loss. This formula, which contains a blend of botanical oils as well as natural wax derived from Olive Oil, further soothes, moisturizes and conditions skin. This most effective preparation helps protect against and repair the appearance of severe dryness caused by heavy industrial work, manual labor, neglect, or exposure to harsh elements.

vg r:
i've found kiehl's ultimate strength hand salve to be excellent for all super dry skin areas, including hands, elbows & yes, feet. because my hands get super dry in the winter (i.e., cracking & bleeding), over the years, i've tried multiple cremes & salves, but keep returning to this product of kiehl's. its chief drawback is that it's not sold in a larger package, but c'est la, c'est la.
