Ultimate Balm Challenge: Hand Edition!

I stand firm against hand creams. Ew. Who wants to type/eat/tuck hair behind an ear after smearing grease all over their fingers? That said, I cannot tell you how many people have come past my desk demanding hand cream ... and I'm willing to concede that maybe I'm anti because my hands just don't get that dry in the first place. Anyway: I want to know what you guys use. Here are the parameters:

1. No noxious odor. It cannot smell like melons, gardenias, cucumbers, or "cherry blossoms"—which, PS, barely smell at all in real life.

2. No stickiness IN ANY WAY. I will give a hand cream a 60-second grace period to become unsticky—after that, I rinse it off.

3. Drugstore prices.

... and I actually have a lead already from a famously picky friend: the Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Cream. Has anyone tried it? Thoughts? Other favorites?
