This product isn't some luxurious product. It's very greasy but effective.
“It has been in production since 1899. The formula was purchased by John L. Norris from a Wells River, Vermont, druggist sometime before the turn of the century. Originally, it was used for only cows' udders, but farmers' wives noticed the softness of their husbands' hands, and started using the product themselves.”

2 ReactionsMixing drops of calendula oil into unscented Cerave lotion helps for me. I’m still really dry, but not quite as flaky & itchy.
I have a dear friend going through treatments and she is using the Cetaphil cream that comes in a big tub. You can get this at Walmart. I hope this helps.
