Gloves In A Bottle Shielding Lotion for Dry Itchy Skin, 8 ounce (12 Pack)

This is a wonderful product for dry hands! It’s a wonderful product for hand protection too, if you are a gardener, a potter, or an artist working with pastels, etc. This is a Barrier lotion, that seals in your skin’s natural moisture to allow the skin on your hands to actually heal from within and stay healed. It can also help resist the finger and nail staining that plagues some gardeners and artists, too. (For gardeners: to prevent soil-staining under the nails, put a bit of lotion in your palm, and scrape your nails through it to get the lotion well under the nails.) For most people, their hands will feel more moisturized, softer, silkier and instantly transformed after their first application. But, it is NOT a greasy topical balm that simulates moistened skin—it is a smooth and soothing protective barrier for the skin that prevents hands from being repeatedly stripped of their natural oils and moisture as a result of repeated hand-washing. For those who complain each hand-washing had removed it—it didn’t! Once it is completely dry, it doesn’t get removed by hand-washing. The first subsequent hand-washing only sluices off the EXCESS of lotion that had been applied. It might be necessary to reapply it, though, if you wash your hands more than several times within a 4-hr. period, or if you wash your hands a few times with an extremely harsh detergent or cleaner of some kind. For most average users, though, applying a drop of it just a couple of times a day will likely be sufficient. For those with extremely or excessively damaged skin, it might take a couple of days of using it before you actually notice the healing process is taking place. It worked great for me on my dry, rough, sore skin upon the very first application of it, so I didn’t have that sort of a problem, but I suppose one could add some other kind of greasy cream or balm once the Gloves in a Bottle had dried completely, if that would make someone more comfortable while the healing process was taking place. Once the skin has healed, I would think just using this lotion would be sufficient to keep hands that way. For those who complain it flakes when applied repeatedly—you are using Wayyyy too much of it, and probably using it way too often, too! Only a small drop of this is necessary, and it works best when applied immediately after washing your hands and while they are still damp. So little of this lotion is necessary for each application that a bottle of it lasts a very long time, which actually makes it a fairly inexpensive product to use in the long run. I’ve been using this product for a few years now and wouldn’t want to be without it. No request from the maker of this product to leave a positive review of it has ever accompanied any purchases of it that I have made, so my review is completely and totally voluntary, and not influenced by anything except by my own experience as a user of this product. I consider it an extraordinary product that delivers superb results. That being said, if anyone suspected they might have suffered a severe sensitivity or allergic reaction to some ingredient in the product, I’d recommend they not continue to use it, of course. For anyone else who didn’t get the immediate results they’d expected, however, I’d strongly suggest giving the product a reasonable try and a reasonable length of time to help heal their hands. It’s really a remarkable product!

'Gloves in a bottle' I work P/T cleaning up and closing a deli. My hands have been destroyed with the bleach water, continuously washing dishes and exposure to the heat of the fryer and hot case. Rubber gloves are not an option. Both my thumbs and index fingers are so dry and cracked. My right thumb is deeply cracked and when I bump it it hurts so bad it brings tears to my eyes. I use a deep moisturizer when I get home but on my days off my hands and fingers get dryer and so much more tender to the touch. I felt I HAD to get 'Gloves in a bottle' as a last resort for comfort. My first use, I washed, moisturized then added 'Gloves in a bottle' and allowed to dry. I really thought my hands felt kind of greasy and had a shiny look from the 'Gloves in a bottle' originally. As I went about my day I realized they just felt moisturized. I am so used to dry hands with crackly patches having the moisture locked in with 'Gloves in a bottle' felt awkward. I did my first load of dishes after having it on for 2 hours. I must say my hands felt super weird wet after I was done. An hour later, the backs of my hands aren't super dry and extremely wrinkly like normal. They feel extremely soft and smooth. 8-) I will admit I did dip my right hand into a heavy solution of bleach water, 1 cup bleach 5 cups water, My left thumb and index finger feel a tiny bit dryer than they did before I started but NOTHING like they would have if I would not have used 'Gloves in a bottle.' My right thumb and index finger feel a bit drier than the left. I can definitely feel a difference between both hands. At this point I would recommend no heavy bleach solutions. At work we use a cap full to a gallon of water and I am anxious to test the results there. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy 'Gloves in a bottle' on my days off and the moist hands I have not felt in a very long time. The second day my hands feel like they have a great covering on them after having applied it 5 times since receiving 'Gloves in a bottle.' I wash my hands about 20 times a day when I am at home they are still moisturized. I have used regular lotion before I reapplied 'Gloves in a bottle.' My index fingers are completely moist with no dry patches. Tomorrow, I work and will KNOW how well 'Gloves in a bottle' performs by the time I get home. My hands do feel like there is a protective layer covering them with no odor or greasiness. I did apply it further up my arms each time and even my arms are staying very moist. My third day and true test of 'Gloves in a bottle' was my day of work yesterday. The open sore on my thumb is not tender, almost completely closed and healing quite nicely this morning. All dry patches are gone. I am actually quite shocked at the fact it didn't take long to realized I WILL be purchasing more 'Gloves in a bottle' in smaller bottles to put in my purse because it worked so well. I will have to use 'Gloves in a bottle' on my breaks because of the fact my hands are in water a great deal while at work. I have faithfully washed, added a moisturizer and allowed it to soak in before applying 'Gloves in a bottle' every 4 hours of my waking time. I am COMPLETELY impressed with the immediate results 'Gloves in a bottle.' Even my son noticed my hands look 100% better than they did the day the order came in. I really regret that I didn't have him take pictures of my right thumb before I started using 'Gloves in a bottle'. I seriously would not believe it if I had not experienced it myself. I really like that it doesn't take a large amount for a nice layering, it is not thick and greasy and it works on my arms just as well as on my hands....8-) I could not be more impressed or happier!!! 8-)

If you're someone who deals with dry, cracked or irritated skin, then the Gloves in a Bottle Shielding Lotion is something that you might want to consider. This product is designed to provide your skin with a protective barrier that lasts for several hours, allowing it to heal and become less vulnerable to further damage. One of the things that I appreciated the most about this lotion is how quickly it absorbs into the skin. It does not leave behind any greasy residue, nor does it have any fragrance. Making it great for people who are sensitive to smells. The Gloves in a Bottle Shielding Lotion is also made with natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin. It contains no harmful chemicals such as parabens, sulfates or phthalates that could potentially cause more harm than good. One of the main selling points of this product is that it does what it says it does: it protects your skin from things like harsh chemicals. irritants. and dryness. Upon applying the lotion my skin felt instantly soft and soothed. My only negative is it not coming in a bigger quantity and the price. I would love to be able to use this on my legs and feet and everywhere but not for that price. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Gloves in a Bottle Shielding Lotion to anyone who's looking for a product that provides long-lasting protection and relief for dry, cracked skin. It's affordable, made with natural ingredients, and does what it claims to do.

I have severely sensitive skin with contact dermatitis. I'm at the laundromat every 2 weeks & while I use free & clear products, I'm exposed to chemical residue left on handles. Which causes open splits & sluffing skin on my palm, thumb & forefinger that even with medical topicals, isn't fully healed before I have to go back. I'd never heard of Gloves in a Bottle, I was searching for something to help me. I'm so glad I found this product. It's been a huge help for me & my hands. I use it about an hour before I head out to do laundry. It absorbs quickly, doesn't feel greasy, doesn't leave a film & it doesn't attract lint or hair which is a plus with our pets. The price is absolutely fair. I'm on a budget & I'm very impressed with the coverage that's achieved with such a small amount. I plan to purchase some travel size bottles that are easier to carry in my purse.

This stuff is insane. My hands are stupidly dry bc of eczema, but I have a baby, so I have to wash my hands a million and 1 times a day... so my dermatologist suggested i get this stuff to lock in the moisture from my primary products. It really does work and it only takes a tiny amount. It drys pretty quick so my hands still feel moisturized but not slimy. The bottle is a good amount, but a little big to carry around with me all day, so I'll most likely end up getting a small bottle and refill it as needed.

Love this lotion, idk why but the one I have from Amazon feels runnier/thinner than the ones I’ve used from ordering through med supply magazines. For that I am sus. Still works, still does the thing but it doesn’t feel like it lasts as long as a barrier, comparatively. Anywho this lotion DOES rule, it’s saved my hands many times! Maybe Amazon needs better quality control?

Product is great. I wash my hands like 30 times per day for my job duties and this lotion is used at the end of the day once and has cured my dry hands.

Great product. Helps you heal.and keeps your hands soft.

Great product works well.

NO ME GUSTO NADA NO HACE ESPUMA

Works as advertised. It is very expensive, so I use it only when I'm really rough on my hands or need to wash my hands frequently. For example, the soap at my office is the cheap pink variety that dries my hands out like crazy if I don't use moisturizer immediately. I use this moisturizer before I head into the office, and I'm good for the rest of the day. Similarly, if I'm doing a lot of kitchen work like holiday baking + cooking, my hands are still good after washing my hands 10 times, including handling and washing off butter and meat grease.

Works as it says it would

I have used this for 7 days now and it turned my cracked and dry hands soft and smooth. Shielding lotion is better than moisturizer hands down, pun intended.
