  1. Kristy

    I have many hand creams that I have bought over the years and this is one of the best. It applies immediately into my skin and has an oily feeling without being greasy or oily. It is a light clear/grey coloured cream. It also has a mild lemon scent which isn’t artificial or overpowering.

    I kept hearing that this was a good cream to try for rough and dry hands but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I bought a couple of tubes from an online chemist back then but nowadays I see it in more pharmacies and even grocery stores.

    It may have been odd stock but when I bough the 3 tubes, 2 tubes didn’t snap shut as the snap part on the flip top lid was lose. It made it a bit irritating to use but it may have been a bad batch of plastic.

    Once I apply this hand cream, my skin feels soft and all my rough cuticles and fingers are human again. My cuticles always dry and can scratch someone, so I use this cream on my cuticles and that has kept them in much better condition.

    For me, this hand cream stands out among other more expensive smaller sized creams because it makes my skin look and feel better and the results last longer.

  2. Mary

    This is a wonderful hand cream that transforms dry and uncared for hands into luscious and moist hands in no time at all. It is luxurious, thick, but not greasy, very hydrating and moisturising, and really does make your hands feel cared for.

  3. Tracey

    Thank you for making this product. It is the best hand cream that I have ever used. Being a domestic cleaner my hands are constantly in contact with various cleaning solutions and in and out of water. Have been using Tough Hands for about a month, sometimes 4 or 5 times a day. The results are remarkable. No more chaffed hands or splits. Would recommend this product to anyone.

    Thanks again for having such a great product.

  4. Florinda

    Having developed painful eczema on my hands, I was really struggling.

    I was reluctant to rely heavily on steroid creams, but my hands were so painful, it had become a necessity. Even when my skin was flaring up, my hands were dry and prone to cracks.

    I also have sensitive skin, so the majority of creams cause even more irritation.

    I work in the corporate world and I used to dread meeting someone new and shaking their hands as they were so dry.

    I saw an advert of Tough Hands in a magazine and was drawn to the testimonials from people with similar conditions.

    I absolutely love this cream and panicked when I realised I had forgotten to take the product on holiday. Fortunately I managed to get some at the airport!

    I wholeheartedly recommend this cream, not only for those with skin conditions, but for anyone with dry skin. I now see a lot of people in the gym using this product to save them from calluses, so it truly is multi purpose!

  5. Anthony

    Great product. My hands get very dry and crack and bleed in the winter. I started using this every night and they are much better. It’s the best hand cream!

  6. Scarlett

    Does it’s job for very dry hands – At first glance the packaging looked kind of ugly so I wasn’t expecting much. It came out as a gel-lotion, and felt slightly tacky after application. This is a very heavy duty hand cream for really dry hands and forms a barrier on the skin. It made a good overnight hand treatment. One thing I was thrilled with was the ingredients list, as it’s pretty natural. All in all it does it’s job for very dry hands. A good hand cream for winter and those who have to wash their hands often. I ended up giving the rest to my mum as she’s a dentist who has to wash her hands hundreds of times per day.

  7. Renae

    As winter has hit my hands have been so dry with cracked skin. I’ve had three different hand creams on the go, none making much difference. Then I tried this! It doesn’t have a smell but that doesn’t matter. My hands look the best they have in ages! All that papery dryness, gone! In about 3 nights of using it, it’s made such a difference! Much smoother, well nourished skin. Great stuff!

  8. Natsuko Iguchi

    My fingers have been dry and cracked and it always sores. I have been looking for something like this for more than 10 years! I tried most hand creams on the market but non of them fixed my hands. This is the ultimate!!! All my cracks have disappeared and my hands are feeling great!!!

  9. Miranda

    This thick white hand cream has a rich feel and a unisex lemony scent. It feels like it leaves a protective barrier on my hands. The lemon myrtle & tea tree oil are anti-microbial to treat minor cuts & minor infections!

    I rarely use hand cream because I’m not prone to dry hands. The only exception is wintertime – I go out walking in the rain and wind, and I leave my windows and balcony door wide open, day and night. I find the cold invigorating, but my hands always look awful. They go from smooth and white, in summer, to scaly and purple, in winter. I only use this cream a few times throughout winter and it restores my skin. I notice a difference after the first use.

  10. Stella

    I originally bought this for my husband as he has ¨tradie hands¨ and needed something that works fast. It contains AHAs and lactic acids plus moisturising agents, which really helped my husband’s hands that were so bad I thought nothing would help. In a cold hash winter when hands do dry out, this product is magic! If you use it at night, you do wake up to new hands! It is great for women too.

  11. Shane

    My hands were cracked and irritated after washing my hands many times at work. The dryness made my eczema worse. I’d tried other hand cream but this is the only one that not only moisturizes but also heals my hands. It made my hands tingle when I started using it but after a few days, it stopped and my hands began to heal. I swear by this hand cream, highly recommended!

  12. Tara

    DU’IT Tough Hands is a miracle in a tube. For dry, callused hands this is amazing!

    I get super dry hands in winter, like all of us, and always have calluses on my palms as well. This cream soothes the dryness and helps keep moisture in for hours. It’s not greasy and settles in so quickly. I can’t recommend enough!

  13. Matt Smith

    Highly recommend. I tried this hand cream after a cold winter and usual gym, gardening, and cleaning sessions. It worked instantly!! Thanks DU’IT.

  14. Ian Loudon

    DU’IT Tough Hands is an incredible product. I work in construction and had terrible cracking at the end of my fingernails. The pain was at the point that it would wake me up at night. My local pharmacist recommended this product. One day after using the product the pain had lessened and I could see the skin beginning to heal. On the second day the cracks were no longer raw and had shrunk by a third of there size. Thank you! Couldn’t recommend highly enough!!!

  15. Charlotte

    This is the first in love product of DU’IT brand. We wash our hands more often recently and it makes them drier than usual. Tough Hands is the best hand cream that helps with my dry skin situation. I also used it as an overnight mask, and it makes my hands soft the next day.

  16. Joanna

    I am someone who works in a healthcare setting and wash my hands frequently – often my hands have a bad reaction to the soap at work and I end up with cracked and irritated skin, and so Tough Hands looked like the hand cream to help.

    First off, it comes in a easy-to-use tube. The lotion is thick and glides easily across the skin. It has a distinct herbal fragrance which didn’t bother me. The cream is thick and you’ll need to rub it in. I felt that there was a lightweight layer leftover on my hands, which did seem to act like a protective barrier during the day. My hands were protected from frequent washing and irritation was reduced, which is a bonus. Tough Hands has been the best hand cream I’ve come across in recent years.

  17. Miranda

    After washing my hands constantly, I started to get rough hands. I was looking for something that wasn’t hospital-grade but strong enough to lock the moisture back into my hands and make them feel so soft. I found Tough Hands intensive hand cream at the supermarket at a great price. It really helped with my skin conditions and it has been the best hand cream I’ve used so far. It works great with extra dry hands. It doesn’t have a strong scent, which I like.

  18. Aria

    Tough Hands hand cream was recommended by one of my friends. My hands became instantly softer and smoother the first time I tried it. I also use it as a hand mask. I found fine lines on my hands become visibly improved and dry cuticles were repaired. This is the best hand cream I’ve ever tried so far.

  19. Isla

    I’ve had sensitive skin for years and my hands were always cracked. Tough Hands hand cream is so nourishing, but it’s non-greasy at all. It has a subtle herbal scent. I like how it doesn’t irritate my skin and it effectively conditions my hands. I found my hands visibly softer and smoother. This cream repairs my cracked hands so quickly. It’s the best hand cream for sensitive skin.

  20. Grace

    I have to say this is the best hand cream I’ve ever used! Better than other pricey hand creams I tried in the past years. Its non-greasy consistency absorbs really quickly and it moisturises so well! My hands have become super soft and smooth. I like to use Tough Hands before bed and my hands are so hydrated even after a night sleep. I’ve heard so much good things about this hand cream, and it’s even better than I expected. I’ll definitely repurchase when I finish this tube. Thank you for making this hand cream!

  21. Sharelle

    Bought this hand cream the other day after my hands were extremely dry & cracked from being tortured during corona. This is an amazing hand cream! I applied it 3 times on the first day. My hands looked and felt so much better by day 2. I apply it morning & night only now. It is non-greasy and it’s absorbed almost immediately. As a mum whose hands are always busy, I need something that works well straight away and this is it. I love that it is made in Australia. This is the best hand cream I’ve ever tried!

  22. Sandarella

    I absolutely love this product. I’ve used Tough Hands hand cream for over 4 years now! It fixes my cracked hands in two days after lots of using it! Also, I put it on overnight as a hand mask with gloves on. It is the best hand cream I can find!

  23. akman

    I bought this for my dad who’s been suffering from broken/heavily cracked palms and fingers for years. After a couple of days, he called me to say that it moisturises his hands way longer than other deep-moisture hand creams. Because of that, a tube has lasted him more than five months now, and he is happy to report that his hands are almost completely out of cracks. It is the best hand cream on the market!

  24. Donni

    Great product! And I like that it is Aussie-made. My hands have been really dry due to constant washing, especially in the web of my fingers. This product was an amazing fix. As a bloke, it’s got a pleasant scent and is not oily or greasy. This is the best hand cream I’ve used and I’ll purchase it again.

  25. Matt

    Best hand cream on the market! I tried this out after a cold winter and my usual gym, gardening, and cleaning sessions. It worked instantly. My palms are visibly softer and less cracked. Highly recommend!

  26. Rowie

    This is the best dry skin hand cream on the market. I’ve been using this product for ages now and it’s the best I’ve ever tried. I was a spray painter in my younger days and exposure to chemicals has really damaged my skin. I find this DU’IT Tough Hands hand cream is the only product that rectifies the dryness.

  27. Grace

    My husband has dry, rough hands, and he really needs a heavy-duty cream, so I got Tough Hands for him. I also use it and it works quickly on both of us. We like it so much and just bought 2 more tubes. This is the best hand cream we’ve used!

  28. Julia

    I’m a nurse with eczema so I have extremely dry hands. Normally I would use very strong steroid ointments and often have courses of oral steroids. During Covid, I had a bad flare up due to using alcohol sanitisers and general hand washing every few minutes. Unable to take steroids during the pandemic I relied on good moisturisers. This one has been the best. It is non-oily and absorbs very quickly. My skin is not cracking and I no longer dread the sight of sanitiser! Are my hands perfect? No, but I have a severe skin condition. Since I started using this cream I have not had to use any medicated steroid ointments or tablets. I recommend this to every other nurse I work with!

  29. Dai

    With very sensitive and dry skin, I’ve long suffered from red, raw, cracked hands and split knuckles over the winter and the frequency of intensive hand washing/sanitising since the start of the pandemic made it much worse. I’d tried dozens of hand creams but they never seemed to do much except leave my hands greasy. This is the best hand cream ever – instantly my hands are visibly softer and smoother, it’s excellent and only one I’ll use now.

  30. charles

    This is a great moisturising hand cream. The tips of my fingers were constantly cracked and the skin splitting, causing constant pain and making so many tasks difficult. Then I tried “Du’It” for a couple of days and the relief and how quickly my skin healed was just amazing.

    I highly recommend and Aussie made too.

  31. Kat

    I’ve been working in different cafes for many years, so my hands are either wet or getting hot and dry from making coffee. I’ve tried many many hand creams over the years some were good but nothing like tough hands! I also got the hand scrub, using them in conjunction with each other is the best thing I’ve ever treated my hands to! I’ll continue with both cream and scrub to give my hands the loving care they so desperately need.

  32. Chris

    I swear by this stuff. Better than anything else. Repairs your skin and your nails. Just a little two or three times a day. Pure magic.

  33. Wendy

    I LOVE Tough Hands! It is literally the only hand lotion that helps my severely dry hands. I have tried every lotion I could find and nothing worked. I thought I would just have to suffer with stinging dry hands. With consistent use my hands do not become chapped.

  34. Ken (verified owner)

    Tough hands is my go to when my hands get knocked about working.
    I was sceptical however it really does work.
    My local supermarket ran out so I bought on line and the service was 1st class!

  35. Rachel

    I have bad dermatitis and work in hospitality, this stuff has been amazing

  36. Ted

    Love it. I had some kind of dry cracking that lasted years and meant index fingers and thumbs on both hands were pemanently bandaged. I tried everything in the known universe (so I thought, obviously!). Even paid $400 to a dermatologist who sat there and googled it, then told me it it was because I type too hard! But this stuff…this stuff … FIXED it!

  37. taryn verzeilberg

    great especially for a mum

  38. Loz2

    When covid hit all the hand washing/sanitizer made my hands so dry, cracked and painful something I had never had as i keep the moisturiser up to them. 3yrs on and having used many products with temporary results, i have used tough hands for 7 days and omg I can’t believe it my hands are looking and feeling great. Will never use anything else now
