Not only is this SPF hand cream made with SPF 40, but it’s also full of antioxidants like vitamin E and argan oil (both of which keep your skin super soft and hydrated).And if you’re looking for a cleaner SPF, it’s worth mentioning that this one is also sulfate, paraben, and fragrance-free.

If your hands are perpetually cracked, flaky, and red, you’ll want to start with this super-healing SPF hand cream from CeraVe. Packed with hyaluronic acid (to moisturize) and ceramides (to lock in that moisture), this SPF will calm your irritated skin and keep it protected from the sun.

When it comes to ultra-sensitive skin, it’s best to avoid fragrance and essential oils all together. That doesn’t mean you can’t get in on the SPF hand cream game though, as evidenced by this excellent fragrance-free option from Eucerin. Slather it over your hands and it’ll gently hydrate and protect your skin without irritating it.

Try as we might, we can’t always prevent sunspots and hyperpigmentation. This SPF hand cream is equipped with soybean extract to help fight discoloration, while the SPF 30 works its magic to protect you from developing more later on.

I love this SPF hand cream from Josie Maran because it has not one, not two, but three soothing ingredients. You can say goodbye to red, inflamed hands, thanks to this formula’s blend of aloe, chamomile, and green tea. Bonus: This one’s technically a body butter, so you can also slather it on your legs and arms.

Reminder: Derms recommend using a minimum of SPF 30, so you know you’re covered with this SPF 50 hand cream from Paula’s Choice. And TBH, there’s very little this hand cream doesn’t do. It’s got powerful antioxidants like vitamin E and grapeseed extract, soothing ingredients like green tea leaf extract, and antibacterial properties (hi, grape seed extract).

For dewier, plumper-looking skin, this SPF hand cream will help moisturize and smooth your hands every time you apply it. It's all thanks to the formula's ultra-moisturizing hemp oil and retinyl palmitate (part of the retinoid family, which helps reduce signs of aging).

For anyone who experiences chronic dry hands, a hand cream that actually lasts and doesn’t evaporate minutes after that first application is key. This SPF hand cream is made with shea butter, avocado oil, and jojoba oil, three excellent moisturizing ingredients to get ahead of the flakiness.

If you're dealing with acne-prone or sensitive skin, make sure you're using a mineral or zinc sunscreen(they sit on the surface of your skin and are generally less irritating than physical formulas). This one is full of antioxidants (think: vitamin E and beet root extract) and soothing ingredients (like aloe leaf and cucumber extracts).

Now that all have a healthy amount of PTSD from last year when there was not a single bottle ofhand sanitizer or Clorox wipes to be found, the word “antibacterial” has a legit sexy ring to it. So if that’s what you look for in your hand creams, you'll love this SPF-spiked formula that's made with honeysuckle extract (it's got natural antibacterial properties—score).
