The only moisturiser I use is Neutrogena Norwegian formula unscented (red top). By fas the best IME.
I have this problem due to eczema on my right hand. Wash the chalk off as soon as you can - I do this in a stream or wet grass if I can feel the skin has been irritated. As you say this is much worse in the cold. When you aren't climbing keep the warm - take gloves for the walk-in.
Cracks are incredibly painful. Often infection is what stops them healing. I use savlon or tcp, then glue them up with superglue. The glue works wonders, instant pain relief. Again cold is the issue with cracking so keep them warm.
For overnight use, I personally like Elizabeth Arden 8 hr (the proper pink, smelly stuff - not the white, less smelling medicinal cream that's confusingly sold under the same name).

What? Please explain!I got a tube of the white stuff for birthday after everyone raved about it, assuming it was the right stuff. So far It's early days yet but to be honest I'm not seeing that it's any better than any other moisturiser I've tried.
Kind of on topic, but does anyone get cracked cuticles in the cold? Mine split and bleed. Any goo recommended?
Bastards, so I wasted £12 on this shit! Anyone post up a photo of what the packaging of the pink shit looks like so I know when ordering online?
