As someone with dry skin, I consider myself somewhat of a hand cream connoisseur, and as a beauty and shopping writer, it feels like I’ve tried them all.
But I’m here to let you in on a little secret: you don’t have to spend a lot on a fancy lotion to achieve hydrated hands.
In fact, the best hand cream under $10 is a total hidden gem, and since we don’t gatekeep here, I’m sharing it with you!
Of all the hand care I’ve tried, no hand cream has ever come close to the goat milk lotion from Lu Lu’s Suds.
I’m not the only one, either. Senior editor Lily Rose is also obsessed with this hand cream, so much so that she keeps it on her desk for easy access.
The star of the show is the lotion’s ingredients, which include nourishing coconut oil, shea butter, and almond oil.
But there’s one ingredient that sets this cream apart from other hand care options: goat milk. Everyone say thank you, goats.
This blend creates a silky texture that deeply moisturizes dry hands without feeling greasy.
The best part? The hydration lasts long after application, which is one of the main reasons I prefer it over pricier options.
And don’t stop at dry, cracked hands. Slather it all over your body, from head to toe, for long-lasting hydration.
It’s the ideal lotion to stash anywhere you need a hydration boost, whether that’s your desk, nightstand, or by the sink. Our aforementioned senior editor swears by it for soothing eczema flare-ups.
I personally love a scented hand cream (Lu Lu’s Suds has tons of delicious options, from coconut to vanilla to eucalyptus mint and clean cotton). But if you have sensitive skin, there’s a fragrance-free version too.
Dry hands, begone!
