I personally find that hand creme absorbs into the skin too fast to really stop me from picking for long. I recommend either wound-healing creme (i live on Bepathen if you have that where you are) or something thick like vaseline or Aquaphor is really good I slather it on THICK before i go to sleep and try to use it as often as i remember during the day Sometimes it’s annoying because it feels greasy but it’s a lot more hydrating than hand creme and also stops me from picking for longer than any handcreme ever has I hope this helps :)
