I keep a pump bottle of Epi-Max in my kitchen so after cooking and washing my hands (which is a few times a day) I apply this lotion. It is a life saver for the over-worked skin. I have been using this for about 5 months now and honestly cannot see myself without it. Only improvement I would make is to add an SPF into the product. But other than that, a lovely product that I would compare closely to your normal aqueous creams.
