CeraVe hand lotion works for me. When I quilt, I like the Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream, it’s got grip, not slip.
I also like Loccitaine, the shea butter hand cream in a tube. It’s rich, but my skin is dry. They have a lotion pump, it’s not as heavy duty, but it may be more to your liking. Not cheap, though.
There really are so many hand lotions out there, I would check sales and trial sizes and just try a few. I think everybody’s skin is different enough that what works for one person will not work for another. I have friends who swear by that borage therapy lotion… it’s greasy on me and stinks to high heaven. It doesn’t dry down or soak in. It’s a foot cream now.
I can no longer edit my post, so I'll add Eucerin to your list. It seems to fit your criteria. It was recommended to me by a doctor when my kids were young.
I have very, very dry skin so have tried multiple body lotions and creams over the years. My favorite for the last 10 years or so is Gold Bond Softening lotion. It might be too thick for you. It works well, and is not greasy. I've also used the Moisturizing Lotion. It's a bit lighter. Personally I need something thicker.
For a hand lotion I recently purchased Hemp Oil hand moisturizer from the Body Shop. I LOVE it. Again, it's not greasy at all, and has a light scent that disappears quickly in my opinion. For perspective, I abhor most scents as many give me an immediate headache.
Gold bond healing hand cream for me. It says it lasts through hand washings on the tube.
The dermatologist I saw told me aquaphor for my dry, cut up hands.
I also use bag balm occasionally when I forget to put the gold bond on before bed. I can only use that at night because it is greasy.
Happy New Year everyone & thanks a lot for all the suggestions! I'll look in the travel-size section of a store or two & see how many of these I can find. Otherwise, I'll try the next smallest size I can find. I'll return here again to see any more posts.
For neck, chest, arms and elbows I use Cerave Moisturizing Cream. For my legs I use Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing. Both of these work great and my skin never feels dry or irritated.

I agree, and was going to suggest it. Large bottle, relatively cheap price and works well. They have different formulations also. I think even some dermatologists recommend it.
I have other lotions and oils I use as well, but they are expensive, and probably not of interest to OP.
