than a week from cracks and splits, even bleeding that I have suffered
with for years. I only wish I had discovered your product years ago. Keep up the good work."
Tradesman - York, PA

"I had a terrible problem with dry and cracking skin on my hands and heels. Winter time was a particular trial. I think I tried every cream known to man.

     "I ordered a jar of your Healthy Feet from Duluth for my husband's Christmas sock, more as a joke than anything as he has a problem with his heels cracking.  The stuff really works and he wants to continue using it.  A great product.  Thanks for making his heels fell soft." J.C.     -Yreka, CA

03/23/09:     "Used your product when I lived in Bend.  Now back to a dry climate and glad to have found you again." A.G.     -Hemet, CA

03/20/09:     "I am a medical equipment service technician and wash my hands hundreds of times a week, as well as being a part time custom picture framer that also causes "framers thumb".  I have suffered with split thumb tips that hurt and bleed daily.  I have tried every product out there, but nothing worked to actually heal my thumbs.  I received a product sample of "Life Out There" and reluctantly tried it, thinking this was one more wasted effort.  I was really surprised after only 2 days when my thumbs started to heal.  By the 4th day my thumbs were completely healed, the cracks were gone and there was no more pain.  I have now been using their product for 3 months in this frigid winter climate and have been very happy with the continued effect it has had not only on my thumbs, but my rough hands are now soft and I have even used it on my rough knees to cure the really rough skin.  Thank you O'Keeffe's for your great "Life Out There" N.N.     -Beloit, WI

03/19/09:     "My niece in Salem, OR sent me some of your Working Hands Creme.  I must tell you it's the best thing I've ever used for my hard working 80 year old hands.  These Indiana winters are very hard on my hands and I always had splits on the ends of my fingers.  I only had one bad finger this year!  Thank you very much" J.T.     Brazil, IN

03/16/09:     "I have tried everything for crack & split feet.  My Dr. told me to use vaseline.  Too greasy and it does not work.  I thought, what do I have to loose, to try your product.  I like it so far.  No smell and it is not greasy - time will tell how well it works.  Thank you for keeping your company in U.S.A" C.C.     Webster City, IA

02/06/09:     "Fantastic product!" G.K.     -Minnetonka, MN

02/07/08:     "My husband got me some Working Feet for Christmas on a chance that it would help me.  He had read about it in Farm Show mag.  I have suffered with deep cracking and hard calloused heels for 15 years.  I would trim away and rasp away, only to have deeper cracks.  I saw results in 1 application and in 2, I was on my way to "normal feet" It was so great I decided to try it on my Knitters hands.  The yarn seems to suck up any moisture. Guess What!  All my catches and cracks smoothed away.  I've now had the chance to return the favor to my machinist husband.  He is also thrilled with the results, setting in motion the healing process.  Thank You for an outstanding formula.  I'm totally taken.  BJ in the Ozarks!

02/05/09:     "Thanks for the great products!!" J.M.     -Grayland, WA

01/25/09:     "Dear Sirs: I just wanted to tell you how much I love your product!!!! I have tried everything for the past two years for my hands that crack and bleed - from prescription crèmes to everything over the counter and nothing worked! Then as kind of a joke my son and daughter-in -law gave me a tube of your crème for Christmas this and with in two days of using it my hands started to heal! It feels so good not to have the pain that comes with the dry, cracked hands! Thank you again for your product, I will recommend it to everyone! You have found a loyal customer. Sincerely," K.B.    - Alden, IA

01/24/09:     "I moved from the East Coast to Utah fifteen years ago. Since then my fingers have been split and cracking, sporting Band-aids and liquid bandages nonstop. There has probably not been more than a couple of days in the fifteen years that my fingers weren't bleeding from the dry air. Those dry cracks throbbed painfully all the time. Every time I left the arid West for a more humid location, they would start to heal. As soon as I returned to Utah, within hours, the cracking would begin again. Until now.

I picked up a tube of O'Keeffe's Working Hands Creme at the grocery store last week. I could feel the difference the first day. The texture of my skin is different, and the cracks have all but healed up after only one week. I am going to send a tube to my contractor brother in Denver who has the same issue. You have made a believer out of me! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." D. B.    - Centerville, UT

01/22/09:      "My "working hands" are a result of working at an elementary school where I have to wash my hands very freguently because children can really spread some germs!  Not only were my hands dry and rough, they were looking terribly "old"  (vanity, but hey . . .).  After using your product once not only was I hooked, but I became a walking testimonial.  Both of my sisters and several friends and coworkers now use your product after I insisted that they try it.  One friend is also checking into getting her husband to sell it at his drugstore.  Thanks for a wonderful product that has softened and "youthened" my hands. " N.C.     -Newton, MS

01/22/09:     "I just wanted to tell you how much I love your product!!! I have tried everything for the past two years for my hands that crack and bleed - from prescription cremes to everything over the counter and nothing worked!  Then as kind of a joke my son and daughter in law gave me a tube of your creme for Christmas this and with in two days of using it my hands started to heal!  It feels so good not to have the pain that comes with the dry, cracked hands!  Thank you again for your product, I will recommend it to everyone!  You have found a loyal customer." K.B.   

01/21/09:     "Your product is by far the BEST I've ever used so I'm buying some for my son and brother-in-law. Where can I get coupons for future orders? I've been telling everyone I know about O'Keeffe's cuz my skin splits went away after three applications. It's a miracle!" D.L.    - Oak Creek, WI

01/20/09:     "My husband is a contractor and has awful painful split fingers. I found a tube of Working Hands in a store a few years back and he has finally decided to try it. It seems to be giving him comfort and he can't wait to get this order!" N.G.   - Pittsburg, PA

01/19/09:     "We love this product!  Our hands & feet have never looked so GOOD." B.K.     -Ephraim, UT

01/18/09:     "This a reorder because the creme worked so well on my cracked fingers. I originally found the product in the Farm Show magazine amd ordered by phone last winter. Glad to see you are also minimizing your ecological footprint by making sustainable packaging and processing choices." D.M.    - Liberty, ME

01/16/09:    " Hi Folks from Working Hands Creme: I am an RN and have had eczema all my life, especially on my hands. As you know, nurses wash their hands very frequently. In the winter, I get painful cracks around my cuticles and nails that bleed and take forever to heal. For quite a few years now, I have used your product and never have that problem anymore. I work as a school nurse, and the custodian at one of my schools recommended your product to me. I, in turn, have recommended it to many other people. My son has Down syndrome and extremely dry skin, with especially cracked areas between his toes. It has become a nightly ritual to apply your foot cream to his feet with amazing results. In the summer, when my heels become dry/cracked from going barefoot and wearing sandals, I apply the hand cream to my heels to eliminate that problem also. Like many of your fans, I have never written a letter of testimony before, but I am just so impressed with your product and how well it works. It's unscented, which is an additional plus for me. Thanks again for such a great product." S. F., RN    - Rocklin, CA

01/15/09:     "Great product. Had to use light treatment two times per week for about two years before reading about your product in a psoriasis publication. Hands have been clean and clear for several years." V.L.    - Hayward, CA

01/14/09:    "Thank you for creating Working Hands! I have tried EVERY other product on the market, and after using Working Hands for only two days, every crack and split in my hands has healed! I have already recommended your products to colleagues and friends. My hands are in water continuously, and nothing relieved my dry skin until I tried Working Hands." C. B.    - Bloomington, IN


01/12/09:     "I am a diabetic. I work as a custodian and my hands used to be cracked and sore. I have been using Working Hands Cream for a number of years and it is truly wonderful. Not many things I have tried ever stand true to what has been promised, but O'Keeffe's does." C.B.    - Texas River NB



01/08/09:     "My husband swears by this product and we have a friend who has some kind of problem with the palms of her hands and they itch and skin comes off and she scratches until they are raw. I gave her some of my husband's Working Hands and within 3 days her hands show no peeling, splitting or itching. Amazing product! I am also trying Healthy Feet and Life Out There and look forward to using them." L.S.    - Central, SC

01/07/09:     "Bought this in Angel Fire, NM last week and it has done magic to my cracked hands and fingers. Also had dramatic effects on my grandson's psoriais." R.S.    - Fair Oaks Ranch, TX 78015

01/05/09:    "Thank you O'Keeffe's!  My husband is a painting contractor and has had extremely dry, cracked and bleeding hands for years. I also have very dry skin with premature age spots. I went online to research products that could be used to help alleviate our skin problems After happening upon O'Keeffe's web site and seeing all the positive feedback, I thought I would give it a try. After only one week we could both see and feel the biggest difference in the condition of our skin. My husband's dry, cracked hands have healed and my dry hands are in great shape. Even the age spots have diminished so much that people here at work have noticed. I have tried many, many lotions and potions on my hands and nothing has EVER compared to the dramatic results I have received from this product.

Like L.M. of Camarillo CA, I have never responded with a testimonial to a product before, but this one I just had to. It is the best dry skin repairer I have ever used. I'm ready to buy more and hand it out to friends. Thanks for our new skin!" D.I,    - White House, TN

01/05/09:      "GREAT STUFF --The ONLY cream that has worked for me to prevent cracked fingers.  THANK YOU!!" E.P.     -Bernardville, NJ

12/30/09:     "I'm so thrilled to find your site.  Our neighborhood hardware store carried your Working Hands 3 oz tubes this summer and hasn't carried it since.  It is great at stopping the chapped, dry cracking I get on a regular basis.  I can't wait to try the feet and outdoor cream.  I'm getting an extra holiday set for my father-in-law who has terrible cracked skin from Diabetes." L.K.     -Vancouver, WA

12/29/08:    "I truly love your Working Hands creme.  It is AWESOME!  In the winter, I would always have cracks in my right thumb.  They were so painful. I have tried everything, but my brother, who is a carpenter, told me that he used your creme.  I went and bought a tube.  Since I've started using it I haven't had a crack or dry hands.  I've never  seen creme as wonderful as this.  I went back to the store and bought the foot creme also. Thank You" S.F.     -Austinville, VA

12/26/08:     "Wow!  My husband just found your O'Keeffe's Working Hands ata local Lowe's and it is already fabulous!  We are new customers and fans.  We are spreading the word!  Thank you." J.K.     -Morton, IL

12/24/08:     "Thank You!  I've been to Lowe's and purchased your Working Hands creme.  It's GREAT!  I use it every morning and every night.  So far, this has been the 1st year that my hands have not cracked from the cold weather, since I've been using your cream.  And just in time for our record snow in Seattle. Thank You." M.P.     -Seattle, WA

12/22/08:     "I've wanted to write you for years.  I'm a R.N. in a clinic.  I first got your product from a rep. that left samples.  Washing my hands a lot especially in the winter, they use to crack & bleed painfully and unsightly. Also not wanting open area's because of what I'm exposed to.  I started with the sample and have never gone back to anything else.  My hands now look and feel great.  I have bought so many jars and now tons for other nurses, doctors, family and friends.  Everyone who tries your product now believes what I say (Best cream you'll ever try!) Doesn't stay greasy, absorbs quickly. I couldn't work with out Working Hands." D.M.     -West Linn, OR

12/19/08:     "Let me preface this testimonial by telling you that I have never taken the time to send one until now. I have never had a product that has had such a dramatic effect on my life until I purchased your product one week ago.

I worked in the grocery business for 40 years an just recently retired as a store director for Ralphs (Kroger). I have always had problems with my hands cracking and bleeding working with cardboard and in the coolers and freezers. It at times got so bad I couldn't touch anything without bleeding. I figured after retiring that would take care of my problem but I was sadly mistaken. Working in the garden and doing jobs around the house I was still miserable with the problem.

Believe me when I tell you that I have tried everything possible including prescriptions to remedy this problem to no avail. I have used your product for one week now and there is not one crack on my hands and there was over 25 when I started. I must say that my hands were so bad that when I first put it on it burned substantially, but what a small price to pay for such a fast cure of my problem. Even the scaling (hard skin) is gone. I simply use it 3 times a day and after working in the garden and now I am cured.  I found out about your amazing product by Googling HELP dry cracked skin and read some testimonials and the rest is history. Thank You", L.M.     - Camarillo, CA

12/16/08:     "Love your product! Have used it a couple of years. Can't live without it!" A.O.    - Gilbertsville, PA

12/16/08:     " I love the Working Hands and shared it with my family and friends!" J.D.     -Warner, NH

12/04/08:    "Hi. I have been a dry, cracked hands sufferer for decades now and just last year discovered this great product for relief and healing.
I have even bought jars of it for both my father and father-in-law who also suffer with painful cracks on the finger tips especially in the cold Chicago winters.
I was wondering if you had any coupons for or samples of Working Hands that you could send to me to help spread the relief. I usually go through about four jars in the winter months myself and any discount would help. I would also like to try the foot cream but haven't seen it sold around here.
Thanks! Regards," C. E.     - Chicago, IL

12/02/08:   "I wanted to thank you for working hands and feet balm. I love it. It has been the only thing that helps my cracking hands. I have cold weather eczema that gets red, irritated and cracked. I discovered your working hands and feet at Westlakes Ace hardware and I haven't stopped using it. My hands are no longer red and chapped. Thanks again. Please don't ever stop making this wonderful product. Sincerely," K.R.    - Columbia, MO

11/25/08:    "I was given samples of your hand and foot cream at the Ace St. Louis show in September. I was amazed with how quickly your foot cream improved the skin on my heels but I didn't need cream for my hands. After a few weeks I thought I would try the hand cream on the keratosis pilaris (like permanent goose bumps) on my upper arms just to see if it would help. In a few days I noticed the bumps on one arm were disappearing and after 2 weeks both arms were smooth. I have since purchased more of the cream as I'm not sure if the bumps will come back if I discontinue the cream.

Thank you for your inexpensive treatment. It was quite the surprise to find something that works after years of trying other products, even those recommended by a dermatologist." D S.    - Victoria, B. C.  Canada

11/13/08:     "Gail, Thank you so much for your help. My daughter received her package yesterday and has already begun the healing ! I'm sure you can imagine the damage with the cold weather in Massachusetts. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Thanks again." S.P.    - Worcester, MA

11/11/08:     "I love your product and have shared it with many people to try. I believe the difficulty/inability to find it in local stores is the only reason more of my friends don't use it. They simply wait for me to order and give them as a gift! Thanks again." K.T.    - Harrisburg, PA

10/26/08:     "I have been using Working Hands for a number of years. My son is an OB/GYN and uses the Working Feet because in surgery the footware he has to wear causes irritation and cracking. I have told others about your products and they are using them. I was wondering. I will be going through Sisters, Oregon on the 30th, and was wondering if you would tell me your physical address so I could stop by for a visit. I visted the Joseph, Oregon office a few years ago but thought I would stop by your new place and check out your new product as well." D.G.    - Meridian ID

10/25/08:    "i finally got to try your Working Hands. It is by far the best aid i've ever used on my cracked skin. I bought an extra to give some to family members who have dry cracked fingers and hands. Thanks for a great product." R.N.    - Bethel, CT

10/21/08:     "Hi I saw your product in a local store and decided to give it a try and am I glad I did. I have for many years had to deal with cracking and splitting hands especially now in the fall weather. I used your product and in just over 1 week all of the problems I have had to suffer with for years have just gone away. I have tried a lot of other products that say they relieve cracked skin and they are all worthless. I cannot say enough good things about O'keeffes so I will just say thank you and I wish I would have had this stuff over the last 20 years. Sincerely," D.O.    - Zeeland, MI

10/13/08:     "I tried to send a note to you by going to your home page. I am on dial up internet and it wants to make me scream. I don't know if you received it or not. Anyway I will try to repeat my words to you with this message. I called the other day, I believe it was on Tuesday and talked with a very helpful man and he explained that I could find "Working Hands" at Lowes and even knew the shelf it was on. So on Wednesday my wife and I drove to Fairbanks (500 miles) on business and stopped there and went in and picked 2 containers of it and were glad they indeed had some. We returned home on Friday and today I decided that I would call your 800 number and tell someone how much I appreciated the good help I received from the man last week. Wouldn't you know it, a woman answered the phone, I believe her name was Becky. Well guess what, after it took me 2 or 3 minutes to tell her about how much I appreciated the good information the man gave me last week she then politely described other products you sell and was very courteous and helpful. It's hard to believe two nice, helpful people that answer the phones at a business. There must others there too. Great reflection on the company.

There are two points I am trying to make, one is that if I owned O'Keeffes's Company I would be very proud of both the man and of Becky for being so polite and helpful on the phone. THey both did an outstanding job and took the extra few minutes to make me feel like I was an appreciated consumer. The second point is I would like for someone to tell all of the employees how much they are appreciated by people like me that have tried for years to find a product that heals my cracked bleeding fingers almost instantly, certainly as quick as overnight. There may be some of the employees that just do paperwork, please remember you are an important part of the big picture and keep up the good work.

I sincerely wish I could somehow tell everyone in the world about your product, It is the "Greatest". Thank you again," D. B.    - Sterling Alaska

10/13/08:     " I have suffered with skin problems my whole life and first time I ever was not afraid to show off my legs and arms. Thanks. I have even been using on my face and neck and works great. Please e mail me so I know you got this to go with my order...thanks again for such a great product"
C.B.     -Lima, OH

10/02/08:     "Hello, I bought a tube of your "Working Hands" while on vacation in the USA - it's brilliant - the only hand cream that has ever worked on my very dry skin. Is it available in the UK? If not, do you ship to the UK and what would the shipping costs be?' Regards," S. W.     -United Kingdom

09/28/08:     "Hello again from Australia Gail, I'd like to place another order for Creme. I've achieved great results! When I last ordered I still had some splitting at the finger tips. Now that is all gone and I am on top of what was an intractable problem for years! So, another order please." I.S.    - Victoria, Australia

09/02/08:     "Dear Gail I received my order yesterday and added Working Hands and Life Out There to my former one item collection of these great products. I noticed that someone had reduced and actually credited the quoted shipping amount from $7.95 to $2.87. Thus reducing my order total from $21.63 to $16.85. (see attachment). This level of integrity is unfortunately rare in today's world and many others may have simply pocketed the additional shipping overcharge revenue. I just wanted to acknowledge someone's kind gesture and their integrity.

Oh, and by the way, the Healthy Feet product has been the ONLY product to have remedied some painful splits I had been experiencing on the balls of my feet. Not only have these painful splits healed up completely but my feet, if you can believe it are actually quite handsome again. You and your company have created a wonderful line of products and all the best!! Once again, thanks very much!" L.F.    - Austin, TX

08/30/08:     "I have severe dry skin in the winter time I also suffer from Psoriasis. My hands get so dry and itchy I can't stand it. My boyfriend told me about your product and I tried it. Let me say, this is the product for me. Within two days I noticed a big change in my hands. Thank You sooo much."
B.H.     -Seaside, OR

08/06/08:     " I travel a lot for business. Actually I tried using Life out There after I returned from a trip to England. I have excessively dry and sensitive skin, plus allergies. After a bit too much time on planes my skin was inflamed. For years I had been soothing myself w/ sugar and oil scrubs every time I took a shower. It had sometimes been the only way I could stand being inside my skin. And I was sick of the oil! (I used organic almond oil, but still...) After England I decided to take a chance and use Life out There as a general moisturizer (I'd previously used your products on my feet, hands and sometimes my forearms.) Well, my skin started to heal. I no longer felt dry and itchy. Rashes cleared. It is like living inside a different skin.

Unlike Jim and my sister, my fingers don't crack. Unlike many people in your brochures, I'm not suffering from working outside (my hands do get dry when I garden, but it is not a major problem), but my skin has always been irritated, dry, leaving a few flakes every where I go. I'm very happy to be comfortable inside of it these days. I use Life out There all over my body except for my face and scalp. Now, what about my scalp? Warmly," B.C.    - Ashland, OR

07/28/08:     "I have had life-changing (no kidding) results from using Working Hands. For many years I got cracks on my thumbs and fingers that opened up and sometimes even bled a little. Sometimes in the winter I'd be wearing two or three band-aids, and there was a lot of sensitivity, pain, limited use of my hands. Working Hands just stopped all that, and the cracks healed much quicker than I'd have guessed they could, and they do not come back unless I get cavalier and don't use the stuff. And this has been a few year's time now, and, by the way, I'm now 66 and my skin seems to be getting thinner and thinner.

I have given samples of Working Hands to:

the local weaving-supply store (where they seemed to be wondering why I would want to give them something)
My GP doctor in California
My GP doctor here in Ashland
My partner's sister (who has had results similar to my own, and loves the stuff)
A friend of mine who is ten years older than I
A chiropractor I used to see

I'm currently conniving how I could put a can of Working Hands in the hands of my dermatologist and get him to think that maybe he ought to look at it even though it's not a prescription medicine. MD's can be so hidebound!"

The products are quite amazing. It's frustrating and interesting to know of your products, want to share them out of a general wish for the betterment of everyone's life, and see that people are people and they have their grooves and their ruts and trying something new, sometimes, is just not something a person can move another person to do. Me too, of course, regarding the grooves and the ruts, and in this case the Working Hands did get through to me because the women at the counter at Ace Hardware all talked it up when I asked about that stuff, and I gave weight to their opinions. But a person sees claims everywhere, and without some additional something to back them up can't be bothered to check out every new thing that appears.

So, please count me as a friend of your products. I have to confess to having a fear that you'll go out of business and I'll have to live with cracked finger tips again!" Jim C.    - Ashland, OR

07/22/08:     "I have had eczema for as long as I can remember. I have tried everything and anything to keep my fingers from cracking open and bleeding. My hands stay rough and chapped. My heels crack open until they bleed now. BUT NO LONGER, I picked up a Working Hands at Harbour Freight while shopping with my boyfriend and started using it. MY HANDS HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER. I have one at work and at home. I gave my mom one because her hands does the same thing. We both love it. I am so glad that I pick this up to try. THANK YOU SO MUCH. My boyfriend rubs my hands and says he can't believe the difference. They are so soft. It's nice to hear that. My hands don't pick my clothes any more. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Just had to write to you and tell you just how much your product has helped me. Again, thank you so much." E.S.    - Charleston, WV

07/17/08:     "As a mountain guide, it is extremely important to take care of myself in the high-altitude environment. I find Life Out There to be invaluable as a proactive approach towards good health, eliminating all the cracks and dryness." T.E.     -Jackson, WY

07/05/08:     "I have tried so much and spent so much money (on different products). I am talking hundreds of dollars before discovering the O'Keeffe's products for my dry skin. I can't find anything better than O'Keeffe's Working Hands Creme! Thank you!" H. H.    - Fredericksburg, IN

06/24/08:    "I have suffered with deep cracking and hard calloused heels for 15 years. I would trim and rasp away, only to have deeper cracks. I saw results in 1 application of O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet and in 2 applications, I was on my way to 'normal feet'. Thank you for your outstanding formula!" B.J.    - WV

06/12/08:     "This is the greatest foot creme I have ever used!!!!! I have recommended it to others". J.B.     -Hastings, NY

05/19/08:     "I have had a problem for years with extremely dry, cracked, sore, bleeding heels. Three different dermatologists have told me that the only thing that they would recommend is use a lot of petroleum jelly. I can tell you that this has ruined more pairs of shoes and just made a general mess. I tried every product on the market that was supposed to target my problem areas; none of them were successful until I finally found Healthy Feet. After several weeks of use, my heels are looking great. Living on the gulf Coast is no picnic if you can't wear sandals or go barefooted. I am now a very happy person because my feet are now presentable and I am not embarrassed by how they look. I can't thank you enough for what this product has done for me. "

05/15/08:    "After dozens of products that worked for a while and then didn't, I am grateful to find one that does work. My heels haven't looked this good since the day I was born." M.S.   -  Fullerton, CA

05/07/08:    "This is the best foot creme that I have ever used" D.S.    - Kenosha, WI

05/02/08:     "We love your foot creme!!! It is the closest thing to a miracle cream that we have ever found. I have tried many different lotions and creams over the years, including prescription and high end creams and ointments. I have never found anything to work so effectively and so quickly. My husband works with plaster and frequently his fingers split from the dryness. Your cream worked within 48 hours to relieve the pain and cracks". D.K.    - United Kingdom

04/16/08:    "To all of those who might read this; if you are as hard on your feet as I am,there is only way to sooth them,O'Keeffe's! Between backpacking,  roller blading, skiing, working all day and running around bare-footed, my feet are constantly being abused! I am 46 years old and the only thing that I have found that keeps them from falling apart is O'Keeffe's! Try it, you won't be disappointed. Sincerely " G.P.     -Clovis, CA

04/15/08:    "Thanks for the samples. Wish I'd had this stuff in Ranger School! We spent several weeks in the New Mexico desert, digging foxholes, conducting raids, sleeping on the sand, roasting under the sun, and walking 10-15 miles every night. When we got back to the base, you could've slipped two quarters into the cracks in my fingers. We used Corn Husker's Lotion but it didn't work all that well. Now I'm a desk bound dork with soft computer hands. But I'll find somebody to try this stuff out, got plenty of friends in construction and whatnot." M.B.     -Bozeman, MT

04/03/08:   " Hi Gail! I still cannot believe you called me. Talk about personal service! WOW! I'm so overwhelmed with your concern about little "ole" me not receiving a reply to my e-mail question. We have always tried to deal with family-owned businesses because of the service we receive. The prices are almost always higher, but supporting our local owned companies is more important. FYI, as you may not remember, my husband owns (along w/3 younger brothers) a machine tool company. We squeezed by this downturn by hanging on to the tips of our fingernails. (It's a long story-going back 25 years ago.)
Thank you SO MUCH again." H.P.     -Lima, OH

02/03/08:     "I usually don't write or call companies praising their products but Working Hands is the exception!  My husband has been an auto painter for 28 years and his hands get so chapped and raw that they sometimes bleed.  One of his coworkers told him about Working Hands about a month ago.  I was skeptical but I got it anyway a couple of weeks ago.  He tried your product and it seems to be a miracle product.  I don't remember his hands ever looking so good!  Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much we like your product and how much it has helped my husband." N.S.     -Warrington, PA

02/01/08:     "My hands have never felt better!!!  I can't believe that something finally works.  I have been a nursing assistant for 26 years and because my hands are in the water so much during the day, they became cracked, dry and very sore all the time,  I have been trying to find a lotion for at least 3 years that actually works and have spent alot of money on stuff that just doesn't work or makes them worse.  Thank god my parents found this for me, my hands no longer itch or are cracked or hurt.  (I am buying a bunch and taking it to work so everyone else can try it and love it too!!)  Thank you so much.  I am forever grateful." K.L.     -Neillsville, WI

01/31/08:    "In the winter my hands, due to mild case of eczema, become severely dry, chapped, and bleed often.  Friends and family members have recommended products to help relieve my symptoms and none have worked.  Until now. Working Hands not only moisturizes my hands but it has healed up wounds and stopped the bleeding in about a weeks time.  I've applied a bit at bedtime, in the morning --after a shower, and one more time later in the afternoon - this three times a day application has done what no other product on the market has been able to touch -- it healed my dry, chapped skin.  I want to thank you for putting out such an effective product.  No false promises just results!!" B.H.     -Appleton, WI

01/30/08:    "I love this product!  This is the only hand creme that works.  My hands and fingers split and are painful - your product has stopped that.  I tell everyone I know that has the problem I did.  Thank You!" B.D.     -Hartville, OH

01/30/08:     "I've used everything to try and heal my hands & feet but none of them seem to work.  My wife just happened to find this product as it is by far the best there is. Don't waste your money on other products - give O'Keeffe's a try you'll be glad you did." R.V.     -Taylor MI

01/29/08:    "My heels were so dry, cracked and hard that they were starting to resemble hooves.  I have tried every type of cream and remedy - even to the point of slathering them in Vaseline and wearing plastic bags over my feet all night.  Nothing worked until your cream. THANKS!" S.W.     Hillsborough, NC

01/28/08:    "You need to market this towards women's feet!!  I had dry cracked feet for at least 10 years.  My cracks were so deep and at times raw with severe pain.  I had tough, thick skin around my big toes and heels,  I constantly had to file /shave my feet to maintain them.  Regular foot creme didn't do a thing.  I found your cream at a farm store and noticed a difference right away!  I haven't had to file or shave my feet in many months my cracks are gone!!!  My feet are low maintenance now!" A.P.     -Spokane, WA

01/27/08:     "I have worked in the restaurant business for 12 years.  My hands look like they have worked in the business for 30.  I discovered your product this winter (which is when my hands are the worst) and my hands think that it is summer time now.  Thank you so much.  I will definitely be recommending your product. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You!!!!!" J.R.     Grand Rapids, MI

01/27/08:    "Hello, I work with animals.  I have to wash my hands all day and use lots of chemicals, cleaners etc etc, my skin was dry, cracked, bleeding, itchy, it isn't very nice when your skin catches on the clothes.  Well I tried your product and was Amazed!!! in 3 days my hands were almost all better, my skin is SOFT NOW WOW! its been a week now and my hands are like brand new, I'm hooked and telling all my coworkers, Thank you for a great product.      -Brush Prairie,  WA

01/24/08:     "My wife has bought me several kinds of hand creams for my very dry hands and none of them have worked.  I am a lineman and work outside during the winter and summer and my hands become extremely dry.  She happened to see this at a local hardware store and picked it up hoping it would be different.  This is the best cream I have ever used.  I won't be using any other one because I know this is the only one that works." S.P.     -Lakeville, MA

01/23/08:     "I received your samples yesterday.  Have begun using them & my hands are feeling better already.  I like the creme very much and especially like that it is unscented.  I have allergies and asthma and have given away many products because the fragrance bothers me.  I have located the product in our local Lowe's.  Thank you so much for advertising in Better Homes & Gardens.  I am spreading the word about your great product." F.B.     -Cincinnati, OH

01/20/08:     "I work on military aircraft and daily my hands are exposed to various chemicals.  My hands used to stay dried out, cracked, and hurting, but now since I used Working Hands daily I have normal soft hands again.  Give it a try and you will see results fast!!!J.A.B.     -NC 

01/19/08:     "We love this product! Our hands & feet have never looked so GOOD." B.K.    - Ephraim, UT

12/01/07:     "Just wanted to say I find your "Working Hands" to be the most effective at fixing the skin on my hands.  As the ultimate skeptic when it comes to claims of dry skin relief (I've had incredibly dry hands since my single digit years)  I've tried literally dozens of different creams and lotions.  After finding your product at Lowe's, I tried it on a whim and was sold after the first application.  Cheers to y'all for a truly effective product!  I am now spreading the word to my fellow sufferers." J.A.     -Tigard, OR

11/30/07:     " I bought a jar of Working Hands in Lowe's figuring if it was meant for a man's hard-working hands, it would probably be great on my hands when they get dry and cracked from both the weather and my constant knitting.  This is by far the best hand product I have ever used and I recommend it to other knitters as it's not greasy, has no scent or color and absorbs quickly.  Never thought one of my favorite beauty products would come from a hardware store, but I love the stuff!" E.A.     -Maple Glen, PA

10/28/07:     "I would like to thank you for such a wonderful product.  I came across it by luck in the paint dept at a local Lowe's store.  I have bought a ton of products over the years for my cracked heels and never found one that worked.  Sceptical I purchased the O'Keeffe's Working Hands and used it on my feet and heels.  With in about 2 weeks my deep cracks were gone.  I tell everyone I meet about it. Now I will visit a Walgreen's to find the Working Feet product and give it a try as well.  Thanks again for a wonderful and truly effective product."  J.E.     -New Hudson, MI

10/27/07:     "Our whole family uses Working Hands. Everyone enjoys the product.  It has been passed around as gifts and will be used for many years to come.  Thank you for a great product." G.W.     -Auburn, WA

10/02/06:     "Every summer I tried to rid my feet of dried cracked heels.  I'm so pleased at the great results of your Working Hands therapy.  Thanks!" P.S.    -Mt Angel, OR
