I recommend L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream.

I've been washing my hands frequently since COVID, but they've become so dry, especially now that it's autumn. I've tried various hand creams, but my hands are still rough. Eventually, I settled on L'Occitane hand cream.

It absorbs well and isn't sticky at all.

I've found my holy grail product! The price isn't burdensome at all, and I think it would make a great light gift.
