I'm a big fan of both Vaseline Intensive Rescue and Eucerin Calming Creme.
Last winter was the first time I had ever had a problem, but because my heat source at the house is the wood-burning fireplace (I moved in last winter) all of a sudden my hands and all my skin, really, were dry and chapped to the point that they would crack and bleed. Ouch.
None of my usual lotions had worked and, in fact, some actually made it worse due to dyes and fragrances. I ditched everything and decided to start from scratch. The one that I found worked for me was the Vaseline Intensive Rescue. It's hypoallergenic, so it didn't irritate like my other stuff. And it was light/non-greasy so I could reapply as needed and it wouldn't drive me crazy. It really, REALLY saved my skin!
I recently ran out, and when I went to the store to replace it they didn't have any in stock. So I picked up the Eucerin as an alternative. It's also been great--nice and creamy, not greasy. It does come in a squeeze bottle, though, which I hate--I'd rather have the pump. I'm pretty sure I've gone through it much faster than the Vaseline, also. But it works wonderfully.
For my money, I'll probably stick with the Vaseline on a regular basis.
Hope that helps!

Fill the bathtub with lime jello and soak for a couple of hours...

I was going to say this. It's the best lotion I have ever used and even my husband uses it, and we have tried everything because his hands are always in water. They crack and bleed. I have it this year, too. I just bought two more as stocking stuffers. They had a 50% off sale on Crab and Evelyn.com Not sure if it is still on sale. I would imagine so.

AmLactin has always worked well for me.

I find the best solution is to drink more water and slather on lotion before bed every night.
Anything with shea butter in it is great, but I find any moisturizer works.
For an extreme solution, before bed smear Vaseline or A&D on your hands and put old cotton socks over them to protect the sheets.
