Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I've used Aquaphor on my hands when they are at their worst in the winter--cracks and splits on fingers and thumbs--it heals them quickly. I'm glad it helped your face. (My derm actually recommended it to me for my hands.) P.S. If you can't find it over the counter, ask the pharmacist to order it. I usually buy mine in Walmart.
