I like those two brands because they absorb really well and don't leave you feeling like you have lotion all over your hands (I hate that, so it's my gold-standard test for hand lotion). You can get little trial sizes of them, which would tell you if you can abide the way they feel. The Aveeno is especially nice that way. I forgot to mention before that fragrance-free has always been important for me, too, because the fragrance would irritate the eczema.
The weather was definitely a factor for me. I'd be fine all summer and as soon as it would start to get cold, that was the end of me. I'd think, if you're in the Northeast where you'd think it was January again right now, it'd be especially cranky. Eeeee. I get all uncomfortable just thinking back to those days in the cold!
