"Arizona has incredibly dry weather. I moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area which is humid. I never had to even use a skin lotion back home. I have thin, dry skin in the first place, which doesn't help. Here in AZ, it's awful. I couldn't believe how itchy my skin is. It's more than uncomfortable. Sometimes it's hard to get to sleep at night. I also need to drink a lot of water to stay hydrated which helps some. I cannot use other skin creams even dermatologist recommended creams because they are too softening and makes my flesh feel like I have meat tenderizer on, and makes it hurt and have a burning sensation. Gloves in a Bottle is so much better and not thick and gooey at all. More of a shield. I realize it is primarily a hand cream but I have to use it on my whole body after my showers. It coats my skin with a thin layer of protection and it is not sticky but holds moisture in. It isn't cost effective to use for the whole body but I don't need to use alot, just a small amount to cover. And I need to use something on my skin so this fits the bill for me. One bottle lasts me about month. I wish I could buy it by the gallon. If I could afford it, I would."

“At 35 years of age, both of my hands developed scaly, dry areas, mostly on the palm side of the hands and fingers, especially the fingertips. After suffering with persistent itching and bleeding, I visited a doctor about it. The doctor believes that there is something that I’m touching with my hands to which I have developed an allergy. He prescribed “Diprolene”, but was careful to give me a number of dire warnings about how this was very strong medicine, not meant for prolonged use.

The Diprolene did handle the problem, but even if my hands appeared to be completely healed, as soon as I stopped using “Diprolene”, the symptoms would quickly return. This was no long-term solution, so I began trying an assortment of different skin care products from pharmacies, Avon, health food stores, taking vitamin E, etc.

I even tried wearing gloves most of the day to avoid touching anything with the skin of my hands. I’m sure you can imagine how ridiculous I felt walking around with gloves on in the San Antonio summer, plus -it did nothing whatsoever to help the situation. In a nutshell, some of these things made the problem more bearable, but nothing was really helping to heal the problem.

I saw “Gloves In A Bottle” at a Walgreen’s pharmacy in San Antonio, Texas. I bought some and tried it. At first, I really didn’t think that it was doing very much. This product isn’t a moisturizer, like everything else that I tried to use, so it didn’t feel like it was doing anything.

However, the affected skin on my fingers and palms seemed to be slowly improving as long as I was faithful in using this product. I reached a point at which the large scaly patches basically disappeared and my fingers no longer cracked and bled in a few weeks. A few more weeks, and the dry itchy skin on my hands appeared to be nearly perfect again. Thanks!”

“I am 65 years old and had never had any skin problems until two years ago when the doctors took me off of my hormone pills. I began to notice dry itchy skin, especially on the trunk area and particularly in the winter months. I bought different soaps, creams, lotions, powders and whatever over the counter medications for dry itchy skin I could find. None seemed to give me any relief. I had never been to a dermatologist, but decided maybe this was it. I made an appointment but couldn’t get in for a month.

So in the meantime I started searching the internet for a solution and literally stumbled across Gloves in a Bottle. I placed an order and it came quickly. I started using your lotion and by the time I went for my appointment with the dermatologist my skin had cleared up. I make a point to keep it on hand now.”

“I am allergic to many scents and colors, so I am always looking for unscented products. This is the only hand cream that is scent free I have found that really works.
When the temperature drops below freezing, the moisture is stripped from my hands, leaving them severely cracked and in pain. I have to use super glue to repair them so that I can continue daily activities. With the pandemic, I have increased the washing frequency and the sanitizer usage. This simply compounded the cracking (even in the summer months). When I use Gloves in a Bottle before bed, my hands are greatly improved. When I remember to apply it throughout the day, I no longer endure the splitting fingers at all, even in the sub freezing temperatures.
When the pandemic started my hands were severely cracked and rashy in appearance (due to the micro cracks everywhere). For the first few nights, I applied much more than needed and covered my hands with gloves overnight. In just a few days (still washing and sanitizing excessively) my hands were back to normal.
This is by far the best, hypoallergenic product I have used.”

"I suffer the form of Nickel allergy that affects every aspect of my life, not just the rash of wearing cheap jewelry. I have had to change my whole lifestyle as nickel is added to food, the soil, and for its cheapness to most products. This causes me suffering and it usually comes out on my hands as skin reactions. I am a semptress (seamstress) and you can’t buy a nickel free hand sewing needle at all. I found information about this product and thought I would give it a try when my hands were sore. Not only did this product help clear my hands, but it also provided the barrier to allow me to continue sewing at the same time. I advise all who suffer like I do to give this lotion a try, it took 9 days to heal.”

“I have extremely dry skin and it cracks and occasionally bleeds, especially near my knuckles.

I am so grateful that I found this product! I wash my hands frequently (contributing to the dryness) and I’ve been using this after every hand wash and it has helped tremendously.

Good value as well, you don’t need a lot of product each use. The other benefit is the non greasiness - absorbs so well and really does create a “glove” of protection. Great product!”

"I have bought so many brands of lotion in an effort to heal the painful dry, cracked skin on the tips of my fingers and around the nails. I wanted to see how this brand worked before I submitted a review. When I first put it on I thought “Great. Another runny lotion that won’t do a thing.” I am happy to report the cracked skin has healed! I wish I had taken before and after pictures but I didn’t think about it. It’s a little expensive but this is worth buying!"

“I started using Gloves in a Bottle back when my mom discovered it at craft shows. This was over 10yrs ago. But eventually I forgot about the product after moving away from home.

Then while packing for a move I found a small bottle and some sample packs. I had recently been struggling to find anything that would soothe my hands after wearing nitrile gloves all day. My hands would sweat and I was washing them frequently throughout the day, robbing them of moisture and any natural protective barriers. After I began using gloves in a bottle again, the skin on my hands finally stopped hurting from being chapped. I had tried so many other hypoallergenic moisturizers, but they couldn’t protect natural moisture from being robbed from my skin throughout the day. I also had a hard time putting on my nitrile gloves after putting on lotion. I now have a pump bottle at work that I use early in the morning and again after lunch. Gloves in a bottle dries quickly, Then my nitrile gloves go on easy. My hands finally aren’t wrecked and the relief is sweet! Now I just have to get more because my coworkers love it’s too!“

“My husband is a software engineer and has really dry cuticles that peel and crack but hates anything that makes his fingers sticky or greasy because it makes his keyboard nasty. He has tried many different products but this is the first one he has nothing negative to say about. Now he just needs to remember to use it.”

“I am a woodworker and my hands are exposed to hand rubbed oil finishes and other chemicals. I've had a bottle of this product for many years, given to me by a fellow woodworker. I never used it on a consistent basis, until recently. I have been doing more work, my fingernails started getting very brittle, breaking and peeling. In desperation, after trying expensive oil treatments designed for nails I decided to give this a try. It has been a week of consistent use, as directed. My nails and cuticles are in better condition than they have been in many years! I highly recommend you try it. Next time I will buy the two pack, it's that good!”

“Great product. So glad I found it! It really works as it claims: provides a protective barrier. No residue: not greasy! Truly unscented! (not a false claim like there is on so many other products that are supposed to be fragrance free - but actually have a scent that I’m allergic to or one that gives me a headache.) This is the best hand lotion for dry Colorado weather. The pump top is more convenient and it’s never clogged.”

"Living in cold winter climates, especially if you have baseboard heaters, can often mean horribly dry air and cracked, bleeding, sore skin. I have two family members with skin issues (cracked and bleeding knuckles all winter in one case, and cracked peeling sore and red feet in the other case). I gave them both a bottle for Christmas, and threw in one for a friend as well, and I’ve heard nothing but great reports from everyone. It does not have much of a smell at all, which was a big bonus for the one family member who is super-sensitive to scented products. I have a feeling we’ll all be using it going forward."
