Restorative Hand Cream | Science-Backed Barrier Repair for Dry, Sensitive Skin

Barrier Repair Cream for Dry, Sensitive Hands

What it is

Restorative Hand Cream is a deeply supportive, fast-absorbing hand cream formulated to help dry, sensitive, and frequently stressed hands recover their comfort and resilience.

Hands are exposed to more washing, sanitizing, and environmental stress than almost any other part of the body — yet they’re often treated as an afterthought. This cream was created with the same care and formulation standards as facial skincare, focusing on barrier support rather than temporary surface relief.

The result is a hand cream that feels comforting and nourishing, without greasiness or residue.

Who it’s for

This cream is especially well suited for hands that:

• Are dry, rough, or uncomfortable from frequent washing or sanitizing
• Feel tight, reactive, or easily irritated
• Are exposed to cold weather, chemicals, or environmental stress
• Need moisture without slippery or greasy residue
• Belong to healthcare workers, caregivers, or anyone hard on their hands

Safe for sensitive skin and suitable for daily, repeated use.

What it helps support (without guarantees)

With consistent use, Restorative Hand Cream may help:

• Maintain moisture and reduce dryness
• Support the skin’s natural barrier
• Improve the feel of rough or uncomfortable hands
• Reduce the appearance of dryness over time
• Help hands feel softer, more flexible, and more comfortable

Barrier repair is gradual and improves with regular application.

Why barrier care matters for hands

When the skin barrier is compromised, moisture escapes more easily and irritants penetrate more readily. This leads to a cycle of dryness, discomfort, and sensitivity — especially on hands exposed to repeated washing and sanitizing.

Rather than relying on heavy occlusives that sit on the surface, this formula focuses on hydration, lipid support, and barrier compatibility, helping hands stay comfortable through repeated daily stress.

Key ingredients & why they matter

Aloe Barbadensis Juice (used instead of water)
Provides a soothing, hydration-supportive base from the first ingredient.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Supports barrier function and helps improve skin texture and comfort — an ingredient more commonly found in facial care.

Babassu, Rice Bran & Shea Oils
Plant-derived oils chosen for their ability to nourish without leaving a greasy film.

Kokum Butter
Provides lasting comfort and lipid support with a lighter feel than traditional butters.

Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA & Glycerin
Humectants that help attract and retain moisture within the skin.

Fermented Reishi & Shiitake Mushroom Extracts
Help support skin resilience and comfort when exposed to environmental stressors.

Alpha Arbutin
Supports a more even appearance over time, particularly for hands exposed to sun and daily wear.

How to use

Apply a small amount to clean hands as needed throughout the day.

For best results:

• Use after hand washing
• Apply to slightly damp skin to help seal in moisture
• For very dry hands, apply a thicker layer before bed and allow it to absorb overnight

Absorbs quickly without interfering with daily tasks.

Who should love it

• Dry, sensitive, or over-washed hands
• Healthcare and service professionals
• Anyone who dislikes greasy hand creams
• Those seeking facial-grade care for their hands

Who may want to avoid it

• Those preferring heavily fragranced hand products
• Individuals sensitive to botanical extracts (patch test recommended)

A Note from Amy, Founder of YOU Skincare

This hand cream was created from the belief that hands deserve the same thoughtful care as facial skin. When the barrier is supported and skin feels comfortable, everything else — softness, appearance, and resilience — follows naturally.
