If you suffer from dry skin, and have asked others for recommendations to alleviate it, you have probably had someone tell you about the wonders of Pacquin Hand Cream. I was in the same boat, and when a friend of mine told me about their positive experience with this cream, I ran down to the chemist to pick up a jar of this magic ointment. Imagine my disappointment when the pharmacist told me that they no longer stock that product.
There are many people out there that suffer from dry skin, and to anyone who has not had this ailment, you may see it as being something trivial and not worth a lot of attention. After all, having your skin a bit dry and flaky is not the end of the world, right? In reality, chronic sufferers of dry skin truly do suffer with this condition. During the colder months, your skin can get so dry and chapped that it ends up cracking open like a wound, and it can be extremely painful to live with.
There is no known medical cure for this condition, and no real explanation as to why some people suffer from it so much, while others never have dry skin at all, other than the fact that it’s hereditary, and if your parents suffer from it, you probably will as well. The best protection against this condition is to apply hand cream on a regular basis, preferably nightly. The problem is, many of the hand creams available on the market are sticky, oily, and not all that effective against chronic dry skin conditions.
This is where Pacquins Hand Cream comes in. Pacquin has been alleviating sufferers of dry skin for many decades. Their unique formula means that the cream has a light consistency that is perfect for every day use, and does not leave your hands feeling like you’ve just dipped them into a jar of honey. This light fluffy cream consists of Glycerin and Lanolin and works in a matter of minutes, closing cracked skin, and leaving your hands feeling smooth and pain free.
Unfortunately, about a year ago, the company responsible for the production of Pacquin Hand Cream got bought out by the major players in the skin care industry – Johnson and Johnson, who promptly decided that Pacquins Hand Cream didn’t fit well into their line of products and promptly discontinued it. There has been speculation that the high quality of this cream, meant that the manufacturing costs were too high for J&J’s standards, or maybe that it was in direct competition with an existing Johnson and Johnson product of lesser value.
As soon as the public got wind of this corporate takeover, they began hoarding the cream as quickly as they could, stockpiling whatever they could get their hands on for future winters to come. Yes, the cream is that good. Nowadays, you would have to be extremely lucky to find a jar of this cream in your local chemist, and if you do, snatch it up while you can.
For the rest of us, we have to resort to keeping an eye on eBay for when one of these jars comes on sale. They are quite pricey because of the whole supply and demand thing, but its well worth watching any sales that pop up and taking advantage of anything that looks like it is being sold at an acceptable price. When it was available in stores, Pacquin Hand Cream sold for about $5 a jar. Nowadays, if you can find a jar for under $35 on eBay, you would be mad not to snatch it up before someone else does. I have listed the eBay search results for this product below, and it will update automatically, so if you’re interested in stockpiling some of this wonderful cream, check back here often.
