I am absolutely in love with this stuff. It softens my rough feet, knees, elbows.. even hands immediately. The smell is so amazing as well. Kind of reminds me of a french vanilla coffee. I am SOOOO sad that this line has been discontinued by Avon.. so I've been using this cream extremely sparingly. I hope they bring it back.. I'd use it every day!

I really like the smell but prefer using the body butter which is so rich and thick.

I really like this product. Yes, it's a bit sticky and the smell is sweet, but for me this is pampering caramel smell. This lotion makes ugly elbows pretty again. Very soft and brightened skin afterwards. Will definately repurchase. Thinking as nr. 1. bodyproduct from Avon right now.

This was just ok. The scent was nice kinda reminded me of brown sugar,the texture was super thick. It was initialy moisturizing but didn't last at all maybe 5min tops. Thank god I had 2samples of this,I would have been mad if I would have gotten a jar of this.

when I first got this product, I though I would never use it because the smell was so horrible, but I decided to give it a try and I love it now! It works so well on my rough heels! The smell isnt great, but since its down at my feet I dont smell it much :) really thick and luxurious!!! my advice is to give it a try even if you hate the smell...it doesnt end up being too bad

I find Avon to be very hit and miss- so on the whole, I'm not their biggest fan. But I've found this product has worked very well for me. I use it largely on my hands and feet, when they've been neglected and are dry. I find that this cream does a great job of softening hands and getting rid of dry cuticles very quickly. It's a little less effective on feet- but does a great job of softening and smoothing the skin and heels, it just takes a litrttle longer. I'm not crazy about the smell, but on my feet I'm not really smelling it anyways. And because it works so well on my hands, I don't mind it so much. What is a great plus is that this stuff is extremely reasonably priced- when Avon has their sales, you can snag this for about $4 CAD. All in all a good deal.

I didn't have a chance to use this product enough to see if it made any difference because the scent was horrible. Its an overpowering sickenly sweet smell of burnt caramel and coffee. Truly gross. The consistency was very thick and I did not like how it felt on my hands and had to wash it off right away. Thank goodness I didn't spend a lot (about $4), so I won't have any qualms about throwing it away.

I have liked this product, but I haven't noticed very dramatic results. I use it a couple of times a week for my dried, cracked heels (worn with socks at bedtime). The day I use it, it feels nice, but the results don't last more than a few hours. I admit I might get better results if I used it twice a day, every day. The other issue I have is that Avon changes its products fairly often--so I have bought 2 containers but now can't get it anymore.

I had high hopes for this because of the good reviews but its another disappointing Avon product for me.
To start with the consistency is very light and quite greasy.Main ingredients is glycerin (shea buttter way down the list). I have been using it with socks overnight but my feet still feel dry in the morning. Also, as is often the case with Avon, the smell is awful - like vanilla ice cream to which someone has added coffee grounds. Yuk. I hate it on my hands afterwards and have to wash them thoroughly.

I will persevere for a few more days in the hope that the gycolic acid will have done its job and help to exfoliate. My feet aren't bad but they are a little rough in places and do get quite dry.
I prefer l'occitane's foot cream (or the hand cream on the feet) for scent and softening but wanted to try something with AHAs.
price in UK is £4 for 75ml in a screw top jar which I think is expensive for the quality.

OMG I love this stuff! It's thick and smells slightly sweet. Been using it for only a week, every night before bed. It really sinks in, not as greasy as you would think because of the consistency. It has totally transformed the bottom of my feet. They are smooth, not dry looking anymore, no cracks, and they've stopped peeling. It's thick and smells slightly sweet.

Only downside is that it comes in a plastic jar and I would love it in a tube so it wouldn't get under my nails.

This works really well for me!!! I use it at night and I see the difference the next day. I hate wearing shoes, especially in the summer, which leaves my feet really dry and cracked, but this fixes it right up!!! I've got this stockpiled, I buy a jar every time it's on sale.

I love this cream! I use it primarily on my feet, as I'm plaqgued by rough, hard skin on my heels and the balls of my feet; after just a few days I noticed a BIG improvement. Weeks later, with regular use, my feet are soft, supple, and ready for sandal season. Even my boyfriend likes touching my feet now :)

I love this for my feet. I'm on my second jar. I use it at night with socks and in the morning before I get dressed, and it has made a big difference in my feet, softened calloused areas, makes them easier to pumice. The scent is too strong and too sweet for me to wear all over, but it's not an all over cream. I use it on my cuticles at night too, and it helps keep them smooth. I'm surprised to find I've come to depend on this product. It performs well when used regularly. I gave it a mediocre rating because of the packaging - I would prefer a tube, so I'm not constantly putting my hands in it.

I love the smell although it is very sweet and strong. My complaints on this product is that it leaves my hands sticky! I can only place it on my feet because it DOES work well for those.. I could not use it as a hand lotion or anything of that sort because of the thick sticky texture.

My best friend is an Avon rep & suckered me with one whiff of the scent. Yes, it is a very strong scent. VERY FOODY!!! It smells like nutmeg & caramel, just delicious. I have been using this for about a month now, & it works very well on dry parts. I even use this as a body cream because it is so emollient & fragrant. I just can't wear any perfume that it will clash with. It also comes in a hand lotion, which is less creamy. I would definetly buy this again. It has convinced me to try & buy more shea butter products.

This stuff has a very strong smell like caramel popcorn. It can be overwhelming if you plan on using this all over your body. Worked well on the dryer areas though. Would repurchase.
UPDATE: The smell is just too much for me. Will not repurchase.
