the messiest and most effective handcream i have found [SEP] i wash my hands often especially since covid appeared on the scene and this dries out my skin and causes the fingertips to develop cracks that are as painful as paper cuts i have tried every kind of hand cream i could find to remedy the situation from those purporting to prevent such cracks to those advertised as ultra dry skin salves to petroleum jelly nothing works then i decided to give dr naylors a try and bingo i have used it for about weeks and everything has healed even my hand doctor this is the absolute truth noticed the difference so i love dr naylors udder balm and am a convert for lifehowever the reason i did not assign stars to this product is that it is the messiest stuff i have ever used it is like an ointment but it comes in a can and the can arrived leaking the stuff even though the can was sealed it is both sticky and gloppy you need only a little bit to put on your hands or feet in order to get full coverage so i imagine that the tin i bought will take years to use up i have actually set it inside a small cardboard box to absorb the mess that exudes from the can if you can accept this fact about the product you will appreciate its benefits if not bag balm is less messy but i cannot stand the smell the scent of dr naylors is unlike bag balm not heavily camphorated and not overly medicinal the smell also evaporates as soon as the cream is absorbed
