I would place it mid range as a cream, I have dry skin and old hands hard working ones, that crack a lot due to working outside, It's slightly like a Vaseline in texture but absorbs easily, I didn't notice any improvement in my skin and the cracks that I get every winter did not vanish.
But worth a try.
Way too sticky for my liking and it made my hands feel really weird afterwards. Doesn't smell that great either..
