The Bepanthol Derma Hand Cream is an intensive hand cream for dry and sensitive skin, in a 50ml tube. It combines dexpanthenol with niacinamide, glycerin, and fatty components such as shea butter, argan oil, and squalane, in a non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly, so you can immediately pick up a keyboard, steering wheel, or papers.
It is made for cracked hands from frequent washing, from antiseptics and hand disinfectants, from detergents, and from cold. It directly addresses those who have occupational exposure, i.e. healthcare workers, doctors, pharmacists, and caregivers. According to the manufacturer, it is dermatologically tested and suitable for skin prone to eczema or contact dermatitis, as well as for diabetic skin.
The skin on the back of the hand has a thin epidermis and few sebaceous glands, so its natural lipid layer is initially limited. Each soap wash removes lipids along with impurities, and each alcoholic antiseptic further dissolves fatty surface compounds. If this is repeated dozens of times a day, the protective layer does not manage to reform. The skin becomes rough, shows fine cracks, tightens, and may start itching.
The formulation addresses three different points in this chain. Dexpanthenol, i.e. the form of provitamin B5, hydrates and is related to the normal differentiation of epidermal cells. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, 'soothes itchy dry skin' according to the manufacturer. Glycerin acts as a natural humectant and provides immediate hydration, while shea butter, argan oil, and squalane replenish the loss of natural lipids. In other words, one component puts in water, another puts back fats, and the third works on the sensation of itching.
Actives: dexpanthenol (provitamin B5), niacinamide (vitamin B3), glycerin, shea butter, argan oil, squalane.

Form: hand cream, 50ml tube.
Application: 'Apply sufficient amount to hands, as often as needed during the day.'
Practical advice: the most effective pattern is one application after each wash, with hands well dried, and a more generous layer in the evening before sleep. Pay attention to the back of the hand, the joints of the fingers, and around the nails, where cracks appear first. The 50ml tube fits in a blouse pocket and a handbag, so it is available where washing occurs. Precautions: for external use only, avoid contact with eyes, do not apply to open wounds, bleeding cracks, or infected skin. Stop use if irritation occurs.
The classic cream is based on 5% provitamin B5 and is for general use for dry or irritated skin on the whole body. The Derma Hand Cream is targeted at hands, with additional niacinamide and lipids such as shea, argan oil, and squalane, without fragrance and preservatives, in a size that is easily carried.
The lotion covers large areas with a light, scented texture. The hand cream is more nourishing, unscented, and designed for skin that is exposed to water, soap, and antiseptics daily.
Yes. The manufacturer recommends application 'as often as needed during the day'. Dry hands thoroughly before application, as trapped moisture worsens dryness.
It is a cosmetic care cream and does not replace treatment. The manufacturer characterizes it as suitable for skin prone to eczema and contact dermatitis, but if there is active damage with blisters, severe redness, or pain, a dermatologist's evaluation is needed.
The manufacturer mentions it as suitable for diabetic skin. However, in diabetes, regular monitoring of the extremities by the treating physician remains necessary, and no cream can replace this.
No. It does not have antifungal or antimicrobial action. Nail mycoses and inflammations around the nail require specific treatment, so consult a doctor or pharmacist.
No. It is declared without added fragrance, preservatives, and dyes, making it a logical choice for easily reactive skin.
This is an external cosmetic hand cream without fragrance. For use in children, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding, seek the opinion of your doctor or pharmacist, as with any care product.
With frequent use during the shift, it runs out faster, while with two or three applications a day it lasts several weeks. Store at room temperature, with the cap closed, away from heat and direct sunlight.
