Atrix

Atrix makes hand and nail care, not facial skincare. The focus is on protecting and repairing hands that take a beating from frequent washing, cold weather, cleaning products or manual work. The products are practical hand creams and lotions rather than treatment serums, so picking the right one is mostly about how dry your hands are and how big a pot you want.

The Strong Protection Cream is the core Atrix product and the one most people start with. It is a protective hand cream meant to shield skin from drying conditions while it moisturizes. We stock it in a 75ml tube, a 150ml size, a 250ml size and a tubular travel format, so you can match the pot to where you keep it. If you want one Atrix product, this is it.

The Strong Protection Chamomile Cream (60ml and 150ml) is the gentler take on the core cream. Chamomile is used here as a soothing ingredient, which suits sensitive or easily irritated hands. If the standard Strong Protection Cream feels like more than you need, or your skin reacts to richer formulas, the Chamomile version is the milder pick at a similar protection level.

The Professional Repair Cream (100ml) is the heavy-duty option for hands that are already dry, rough or cracked rather than just in need of daily moisture. It is richer than the Strong Protection Cream and aimed at recovery. Use it at night or whenever hands are at their worst, and switch back to the lighter protection cream for everyday upkeep once skin settles.

For everyday, whole-family use the range includes the Hand & Nail Lotion (400ml) and the Hand and Nail Care Moisturizer in 100ml and 400ml. These are lighter, faster-absorbing lotions in larger pump bottles, made for frequent reapplication at a sink or desk. The 400ml pump sizes are the value pick if everyone in the house is dipping into the same bottle.

Match the product to the problem. For everyday dryness and protection, the Strong Protection Cream covers it. For sensitive skin, choose the Chamomile version. For badly dry or cracked hands, reach for the Professional Repair Cream. For a light lotion you reapply through the day, the Hand & Nail lotion or moisturizer in a 400ml pump is the practical choice.

Atrix sizing is built around where you use it. The 75ml tube and tubular format fit a bag or coat pocket. The 150ml and 250ml creams are for a bedside table or desk drawer. The 400ml pump lotions stay by the kitchen or bathroom sink for the whole household. If you go through a lot of hand cream, the larger creams and pump lotions cost less per millilitre.

Hand cream works best applied to slightly damp hands right after washing, when skin still holds water the cream can lock in. Reapply through the day, especially after each wash. For repair, layer the Professional Repair Cream at night; some people sleep in cotton gloves over it to boost recovery. Keep a small tube near the sink so reapplication actually happens.
