The BagBalm is doing pretty good. No new cracks or splits since I started with it on Monday. I've applied it twice a day so far. I do have to wash the excess off my palms and fingers when applied, but on the back of my hands where I have applied it, the water is shedding off real good. All the cracks and splits are healing good. I'd have to say this stuff works .. We'll see about the longevity of it.............
