I Used 'The Moisture-Rich Gel' and Here's What Happened After Creams and Ointments Quit
“Why does my hand irritation come back so quickly, even though I take such good care of it?”
I used to believe—without a doubt— that if I just applied hand cream or medication, my hand irritation would eventually heal.
“I’m taking care of my hands every single day, so there’s no way it won’t get better.”
That’s what I told myself.
But reality was harsh.
Right after applying cream, my hands looked calm.
Yet a few hours later, they were rough again.
The skin around my fingertips would crack, and whenever water touched them, it stung.
In the end, everything went right back to where it started.
“Is it just my skin type? Am I naturally prone to this?”
No. That wasn’t it.
The real cause was a lack of moisture in my skin.
What helped me realize this was this moisturizing gel.
To be honest, I was skeptical at first.
But I thought,
“I’ve already tried so many things that didn’t work. I might as well give this a try.”
So I ordered the trial set.
From that moment on, how did my thinking change—and how did my hands change?
In this article, I’ll share honestly and openly how I went from repeated frustration with countless treatments to finally finding relief with just one gel—and why my hand irritation stopped coming back.
First, I’d like to share my history with hand eczema.
Please continue reading while checking
if it applies to your hand condition.
The closer it is to my condition,
the more effective the solution
I used will be.
CHECK WHAT IS
THE CLOSEST TO
YOUR CONDITION!
- Atopic Dermatitis
- Cannot Live Without Gloves
- Water and Detergent Stings
- Irresible Itching and Blistering
- Use handcream to prevent dryness
1.Atopic Dermatitis
I’ve always had atopic dermatitis.
When I was a child, especially in elementary school, I had really bad dry skin and itching from it.
By the time I started junior high school, my atopic symptoms had improved a lot.
But the relief didn’t last long.
Soon, I faced a new problem:
severe hand irritation
with no clear cause.
2. Dependent on Gloves
My hands were extremely dry and rough.
The skin peeled off.
The exposed red skin was painful to the touch,
no matter what I touched.
I couldn’t touch anything with my bare hands,
so I wore
cotton gloves
all day long
—during classes, at home,
and even while sleeping.
3. Water and Detergent Pain
Water and hot water sting my hands.
Products like shampoo, body soap, and solid soap for the body make it even worse.
They not only sting but also dry out my hands by removing all the oils, making them rough.
So, when I take a bath,
I wear vinyl gloves over fabric gloves to wash my hair and body.
The thing I hate the most is "household detergents."
They dry out my hands even more than soap, so I can't touch them with bare hands.
If I use them, my skin irritation gets worse instantly.
That's why rubber gloves are a must for kitchen works like washing dishes, laundry, and cleaning.
4.Itching and Blisters
Even though I took all these precautions,
my hands continued to suffer.
When my skin became extremely dry and rough,
even slightly bending my fingers would cause them to crack open.
It was very painful.
At the same time, I also experienced unbearable itching.
Especially
the small blisters (water blisters)
that appeared on my fingers.
When I scratched them, liquid would come out,
making them sticky.
This seemed to make the itching even worse.
The worst itching was at night.
During the day, I could somehow bear it.
But while sleeping,
I would scratch unconsciously.
I even tried extreme measures, like soaking my hands in ice water by the bedside while I slept.
Looking back now, it was a pretty drastic method.
5. Hand Cream Reliance
Hand creams were
essential,
and I constantly searched for one that would heal my hands.
Because I believed that
by applying hand cream,
I could regain beautiful hands!
But...!!
Even though I kept applying hand cream over and over,
the dryness and itching on my hands never went away.
While applying hand cream did temporarily ease the pain
and made the surface of my skin feel more moisturized,
no matter how often I used it, it never returned my hands
to “normal” state
— free from dryness and cracks.
Why is that?
It’s because the main ingredient in most hand creams is oil.
What we really want to say goodbye to is dryness.
And in order to improve dryness, we need to add water to the skin.
However, hand creams (which are mostly oil-based) cannot provide that water.
At best, they can slightly prevent from evaporating water.
In other words, they can only help
maintain the current state.
If your hands are already healthy and well-hydrated,
then applying oil can help keep that moisture in.
But for our dry hands, there simply isn’t enough moisture left to “maintain” in the first place…
If you think about it, the same principle applies to facial skincare.
Most people apply lotion before sealing it
in with cream or lotion and if you have dry skin,
you probably make an effort to hydrate generously.
Hands and face — they’re different parts of the body,
but the skin is the same.
That’s why, in order to improve hand dryness, we need both water and oil.
However, we’ve completely overlooked the idea of “giving both moisture and oil in balance.” for hand care.
That’s why, hand eczema keeps repeating,
no matter how much hand cream I apply.
To truly improve dry hands, it’s essential
to maintain the right balance of water and oil.
After I realized this, I decided to rethink the hand care products I was using.
Then, I had seen a moisturizing gel called Aquatect Gel on social media.
Apparently, it features a perfect balance 8(water) : 2(oil) and although it was originally developed for facial skincare, many people are now using it for hand care as well.
Curious about the company behind it, I did a little research.
The company called Earthcare , based in Senri-Chuo, Osaka.
The most popular product, Aquatect Gel, boasts a repeat purchase rate of 97.8% .
Here is the location!
Recently, they started to offer their products to Singapore and I could purchase it on the Internet!
As for shipping,
orders are carefully packaged by staff
and shipped via Japan Post’s international service
through Shopify within 2–3 days.
Also tracking code is provided!
What surprised me even more was
how the company operates.
Unlike most cosmetic brands,
the CEO and employees frequently appear on
YouTube
and
Instagram
,
putting their faces out there
and communicating directly with customers.
If a product has been selling steadily for that long,
and the employees are confident enough
to promote it themselves, maybe —
it might work for me too?
To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much.
After all, I’ve tried so many hand creams before,
and none of them had worked.
The trial set only cost 9.99 SGD,
so I clicked the order button online.
It was shipped after 2 days,
and they emailed me a tracking number
because it was sent by registered mail.
After 10 days, I could receive my package safely.
I received the package in person because it was sent by registered mail.
When I opened the package,
I found not only the product itself
but also a variety of useful handbook.
There was even a hand care guide, which included some tips and knowledge I had never heard before — I found it helpful.
The trial set contains 7 packs of the gel.
I started by doing a patch test, and since there were no issues, I used 1 pack before sleeping at night.
What stood out to me immediately was how different the moisturizing power felt.
In fact, as stated in the enclosed materials, the increase in skin moisture has been recognized by a third-party organization as proof of its high moisturizing power.
Conducted by: Seven O One Research Co., Ltd.
Trial Physician: Dermatologist Shoichiro Yano
Trial Period: 4 weeks from January 22, 2019
Trials: 17 healthy Japanese women
In fact, in a user survey conducted in January 2024 with 1,051 participants, 94% reported experiencing moisturizing benefits within a year.
After trying the trial set myself,
I found myself thinking:
“So this is what truly moisturized hands feel like. Maybe this really could work.”
That’s why I decided to continue using it with the larger tube version.
Hand care that provides both oil and moisture is very easy,
and there is no stress in changing the care routine.
The care method was the same as when I used hand cream.
I just changed the item I used.
After using water, after taking a bath,
or whenever I felt dryness or itchiness,
I applied Aquatect Gel.
Every day,
I made sure to apply it immediately whenever my hands felt dry.
And after living like that for about a year…
I realized that
my hands no longer itched,
and
I no longer needed to use steroid creams.
By the second year, incredibly, even when I used dish soap, my hands didn’t dry out as easily.
At that point, the number of cuts on my hands had decreased significantly,
and my daily life became free from pain and itchiness.
Just like that, I found myself thinking about my “rough hands” much less.
I had finally regained the “normal skin” I had always dreamed of.
This was the result of giving my skin a balanced supply of moisture and oil,
which increased its hydration level.
Over the course of two years, my skin’s natural function recovered, and it became more resistant to dryness and irritation.
Two Years of Noticeable Improvement Taking The Time Led to "Fundamental Healing."
“Two years” might sound like a long time.
But my hands had not improved for ten years
—no matter how much hand cream I applied,
no matter what medicine I used,
even when I tried herbal remedies.
In fact, things only got worse.
There was a time when I truly believed,
“I’m going to live with this condition for the rest of my life.”
The future felt so dark and hopeless.
Compared to those painful years in the past
—and the harsh future I feared—
these past two years were,
without a doubt, “just two years.”
Human skin doesn’t change overnight.
It regenerates slowly, little by little, every day.
When your hands are extremely dry and damaged, they’re essentially outside of that natural cycle of renewal.
That’s why simply trying to
“maintain the current state” will never restore your skin
to a healthy condition.
For two years,
instead of hand care that “dries out even after applying,”
I focused on hand care that apply “well balanced moisture and oils.”
That became a period of nurturing my skin
—helping it recover from being dry and damaged,
and guiding it back to a healthier state.
Because I took the time to truly care for and nurture my skin itself, I wasn’t just masking the symptoms like I had with medication.
Instead,
I finally reached a point where having hands that don’t get dry became
the normal.
I regained hands that don’t hurt, itch, or catch on anything—just normal hands.
Not having dry hands
—this simple, everyday blessing and joy was something I had forgotten for a long time.
At some point, the daily pain and itchiness had become my new normal.
Maybe you feel the same way.
Even if your hands or fingers hurt, do you find yourself thinking,
“This is better than usual,” or,
“This much is normal”?
Despite trying hard to heal your rough hands, when nothing changes, do you ever feel like giving up and thinking,
“I’ll never get my skin back to normal anyway”?
Even if that’s the case,
・Don’t you still hope to regain hands that don’t hurt or itch?
・Don’t you want to enjoy fashion or hobbies without worrying about your hands?
・Don’t you want to hold hands with your children or family with smooth, soft skin?
If that’s the case,
please give my “All-day moisturizing hand care” a try, which helped me eliminate dryness.
Trying it just once might change your difficult daily life.
In fact, there are more and more people besides me who have tried this hand care
and improved their dry hands.
With A Long-Time AquaTect Gel User
Interviews
I tried the trial set and thought,
'This is really great!'
So I Kept Buying It!
The Dermatologist Told that
It’s Just My Constitution,
So I Was About To Give Up…
Now, I Can Cook with Clean Hands Without Any Dryness!
I have been using Aquatect Gel for about 6 months now. I’ve been suffering from hand eczema since elementary school and have used various medications. But ever since I started using Aquatect Gel, my hands are moisturized and I can work (cook) with clean hands like never before.
Aquatect Gel Finally Healed My Long-Standing Hand Eczema
For years, I suffered from housewife eczema. I had been seeing a dermatologist but they told me that it wouldn’t heal unless I stopped doing chores and housework. However, my skin began to peel off and the skin that emerged from underneath was weak and thin. That’s when I discovered Aquatect Gel. I immediately started using it and the results were amazing. My skin doesn’t peel anymore and they feel so much softer.
Aquatect Gel Finally Healed My Long-Standing Hand Eczema
I’ve been using Aquatect Gel for a month.
My hand eczema was worsening, and creams didn’t help, but Aquatect Gel made my hands
moist and stopped the cracking.
The redness has reduced, and my skin looks more natural.
I’m still healing but caring for my hands daily to keep them
smooth and healthy.
It's Different From The Usual Winter!
The dryness this season is severe, causing rough, cracked hands and peeling nails that
catch on clothes.
Despite using balm and hand cream,
the dryness affects my entire body.
Last fall, I bought a year’s supply of hand cream, but I’ve only used about one-third to two
tubes, and with the Aquatect Gel, it’s different from the usual winter.
I’ve been using it so much, on my feet,
all over my body, my hair, even inside my nose for dryness.
My nails have improved but still break easily, and nail polish won’t stick.
I want to maintain the current situation until around May, and I wonder how things will turn
out this time.
Hand cream = Aquatect Gel,
Can do chores with no pain!
I’ve been using Aquatect Gel for my face and neck, and it has
made my skin so smooth.
Trusting Aquatect Gel’s effectiveness, I started to use it for hand eczema because
steroid creams and hand creams didn’t work.
After a month, my hands became healthy and I no longer needed treatment.
Aquatect Gel is my hand cream!
We have received many other voices of improvement from people struggling with hand eczema.
I encourage you to try
hand care that provides
oil and water
at the same time.
I truly hope that you will regain clean, healthy, and beautiful hands.
I'd like to try the trial set, but I'm still a little unsure.
I've heard some comments like this, so I'll answer your questions based on my own experience.
Q. How long does it take to see results?
The moisturizing power of Aquatect Gel can be felt even with just the 7-application trial set.
I started with the trial set. From the first application,
I felt it was more hydrating than any hand cream I had used before.
Since this gel is designed specifically for deep hydration,
you may notice a slightly sticky texture after applying it.
However, as the moisture penetrates your skin,
it gradually leaves your hands feeling smooth and soft,
so I didn’t find the stickiness.
That said, 1 pack contains about the same amount
you would typically use for your face,
so at first, it might feel like a lot when applied to your hands.
That’s why I recommend using 1 pack at night, applying it generously before sleeping. It’s the best way to test it out and truly feel the difference.
If your hands stay rough even after using hand creams or medicated ointments, it likely means your skin is severely dehydrated deep inside.
That’s why the first step is to apply 1 pack generously and experience moisturized hands.
“Oh, so this is what hydrated hands are supposed to feel like!”
If you like how your skin feels after using the trial set, we recommend continuing care for about three months.
Once you’re confident the gel works for your skin, switch to the tube version!
It allows you to use just the right amount depending on the situation
— like after washing your hands or whenever you feel dryness.
As a general guide, we recommend committing to three months of regular care.
The time it takes to see improvement varies from person to person, depending on the cause, severity, and your lifestyle.
Over 70% of people who started using Aquatect Gel for hand care noticed a difference by the third month.
Here’s how it went for me, personally — someone who struggled with hand eczema for over 10 years:
I realized the changes as I continued to apply the gel regularly, every day.
So take your time, watch how your skin responds, and continue caring for it consistently. 😊
Q. Can I use it if I have wounds?
A. Of course, you can use Aquatect Gel
on wounds.
However, it may sting, as it’s a highly moisturizing gel, similar to how water stings on a wound.
If it's too painful, treat the wounds first and use the gel after they heal.
Q. Should I use medication along with it?
A. Yes, you should use both.
Medication and Aquatect Gel serve different purposes and are more effective when used together.
1. Medication:
Reduces symptoms like inflammation and itching.
2. AquaTect Gel:
Moisturizes and helps repair the skin.
If medication hasn't worked for you, try using it together with Aquatect Gel.
Many people, including myself, have felt that medication alone didn’t help.
Before using Aquatect Gel, I was only treating the symptoms like ①inflammation and itching,
but my hands remained dry and damaged, so the effects were temporary.
When I started the ② care with Aquatect Gel, my skin began to recover while still using medication to quickly suppress symptoms. This combination finally improved my hand irritation.
If you're using medication or experiencing symptoms like itching and inflammation, I recommend continuing to use your medication properly.
*Please consult your doctor before combining treatments.
Q.Can it be used on the face and the whole body?
Yes, you can apply Aquatect Gel to your face as well.
Originally, this Gel was developed for sensitive and dry face skin by our CEO with ultra sensitive and dry skin.
It’s suitable for use on all parts of the body, excluding mucous membranes because the gel is gentle for sensitive skin.
Please apply it whenever and wherever you feel dry !
Also, children can use it as well because the Gel is gentle for child skin!
Q. Is there anyone it doesn't suit?
A. Yes
Unfortunately, there are cases where Aquatect Gel care not suit some people.
- Those allergic to any of the ingredients

- Have no allergies to the ingredients

I saw an ad and decided to buy Aquatect Gel, thinking I'd take a chance. I genuinely want to say, "Thank you." I plan to keep using it for a long time.
I had been struggling with hand eczema for three years and saw no improvement
despite regular visits to the dermatologist.
Wearing rubber gloves for work worsened the condition,
and medication didn’t help.
After seeing an Instagram AD of Aquatect Gel, I decided to try it,
and within three days, the itching subsided,
and my hands felt moisturized.
Now, after two months of use, my hands have improved significantly,
and even my coworkers noticed.
I'm grateful to continue using it regularly.
I tried Aquatect Gel for four days and can't believe how much itching and stress I used to have!
I struggled with recurring itchy eczema on the back of my hands from wearing rubber gloves for household chores.
After trying many hand creams and strong medications with no long-term success, I found Earthcare's "Aquatect Gel ."
Within four days of using it, my eczema cleared up.
I then ordered the Aquatect Gel and continued using it, and after 10 days, my hands became much better.
Now, I'm also using it on my face and heels, and I'm hopeful to fully restore my hands.
I'm grateful to have found Earthcare!
I am now relying solely on Aquatect Gel！
I started using the sample due to hand dryness, and after being pleased with the smoothness of my hands, I now use it on my face as well.
My main concern is the pores around my nose, and I rely on Aquatect Gel for that. Though improvement may be difficult with age, my skin condition hasn’t worsened, so I plan to continue using it.
I also reflected on my habit of impulsive buying and relying on supplements, and now I want to focus on living a simpler life.
Thank you.
