Glycerin is the main ingredient that gives this cream its immediate smoothing effect. It is a humectant, meaning it attracts water and helps hold it in the upper layers of the skin. That is why hands usually feel less tight and noticeably softer after application.
Sea buckthorn oil and rosehip extract contribute an emollient, smoothing layer. They are the parts of the formula that make dry knuckles and cuticles feel more supple. Together, these ingredients leave a very light film on the skin surface. The film does not feel heavy, but it slows down moisture loss caused by wind, soap, and hard water. In practical terms, the hydration gained from the cream lasts longer than it would with a simple water-based lotion.
Use a small amount — roughly a pea-sized dab for both hands — and rub it thoroughly over the backs of the hands, knuckles, fingertips, and around the cuticles. Wait a few seconds before doing anything that involves water, because the film needs a moment to settle. Reapply during the day whenever your hands feel tight or rough again.
This is cosmetic care, not a medicine. If discomfort or irritation continues despite regular use, ask a pharmacist or doctor for advice.
