I stumbled upon this by accident when my grandma was in the hospital. They had so much stock of this foot cream for the elderly and so I took one from the hospital, seeing that they always put it on my grandma.
ONE APPLICATION AT NIGHT BEFORE BED AND THE NEXT MORNING YOU WILL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE.
There is a smell that you need to get used to. I like it now. It kind of smells like Chinese salves and essential oils.
It's super moisturizing and absorbs well. You can wash your hands right after if you can't stand the greasy feeling but I like that it's killing two birds with one stone. Just don't touch your face or hair. You don't want it to clog your pores, as it's quite heavy.
All in all, it's the BEST kind of foot cream/lotion/salve for your feet that I've ever tried.

This product will heal your cracked heels, no matter how bad they are. The texture of this product is a cross between petroleum jelly and a very rich moisturizer. It will make your hands greasy when applying it to your feet, so be prepared to have to wash your hands well after using it. Not a good idea to use it when you don't have access to a sink to wash your hands. The smell is not the most pleasant; smells a bit like paint. But it does work. You will see a significant improvement after one application. For badly cracked heels, you will need to use it over the course of a few days, but regardless, there will be significant improvement to your heels/feet each day nonetheless. To get the best results, apply it when you have time to really let the product sink into your skin, like at bed time. After I apply it, I place a piece of saran wrap around my heels, and then I put on socks to hold the plastic in place. By the following morning, my feet are so smooth and hydrated. The packaging isn’t the greatest, but you get used to it just like anything else. GEHWOL med. Salve for Cracked Skin is available (in Canada) at some Trade Secrets locations. Not sure where else it is sold, but you'll likely find it at a beauty supply shop. This is a must have product. This is my go-to product for cracked heels for life.

HTF and pricey - but EXcellent high-urea cream that is great for dry cracked heels and other skin on the feet.

I have a lot of really good foot creams and I like them all but this one is the absolute best of the bunch when it comes to dealing with dry, rough heels and feet. I use this at night, especially in winter-time, after going over my heels and rough spots with a ped egg or a Heros Chiropody Sponge, slip on a pair of socks and in the morning, my feet are in such good shape.
I buy this in the tall plastic tub/jar - far more economical than the small tubes - but even with a strangely strange design, I find it awkward to use and have resorted to using a chopstick to get to the bottom of the tall jar to get the product out.

This salve is a godsend for anyone who experiences painful cracks in their feet, especially the heels. A few nights of this and I have baby soft feet. This is a fairly greasy lotion so be sure to put on a pair of old socks before crawling into bed. The smell is a little medicinal but not overpowering. I always have a tube of this stuff in my bedstand.
