With 15% shea butter, the cream feels moisturizing and nourishing enough, but it's not very emollient. That makes it absorb rather quickly, but at the same time prevents it from being the pinnacle of foot solutions for extremely dry skin.

The herbal/lavender scents stays on with additional effect of improved microcirculation and slight tingling procured by essential oils. That is fine on my foot, but left my hands red and irritated. And yes, I do need to use my hands to apply foot cream.

What is a deal breaker for me is polyacrylamide and propylene glycol among the (supposedly) natural ingredients. I won't buy again for my sensitive skin, but if you are on search for a decent foot cream and don't mind the price tag, go ahead and give L'occitane a try - it even comes in travel size.

I like the scent of this foot cream more than anything. It has a spicy, natural smell that is very nice. However, I do not think this is the most effective foot cream, especially considering its price. I have used both the foot and the hand cream on my feet and I do not see much improvement. It conditions my feet, but does not really get rid of the roughness. There is only 15% shea butter in this, so I think the the formula itself is not very strong. I think the 100% pure shea butter by L'Occitane is much more effective for dry feet.

I've been using foot cream every night before bed for as long as I can remember, so I've tried many foot creams out there. There's really not one foot cream that I thought was bad, I really have enjoyed them all. But, I do especially love the silky texture of this one! It feels decadent. I would definitely repurchase.

I always apply after my shower, and then immediately put socks on for at least 10 minutes, so I don't have an issue with greasiness or slipperiness.

This is a nice, non greasy foot cream that is easily absorbed into the skin. I like the lavender fragrance too, its quite soothing. It does moisturise my feet but I feel that its too expensive for the quantity. I would like to try out some more foot creams before I repurchase this one.

I love the lavender scent of this cream and that it's majority natural ingredients, but that's about it.

Price is about $5 an ounce. If you were to use this as a foot cream, applying once a night, then it would go a long way. However, with bag balm at 6.99 for 10 oz and 100 times more effective, this product really is a waste.

I'm just guessing on price because my daughter bought me this for a gift. But I LOVE this foot cream. I like foot creams that are thick and moisturizing and this is both. Since I always put socks on after applying a foot cream, I don't mind a thick, almost "greasy" texture in a foot cream because, to be honest, I think that is what it takes to soften the skin of my heels - anything lighter just won't do an effective enough job. On top of everything else good about it, it has a lovely herbal/lavender scent that is a nice addition for pleasant smelling tootsies. A small amount (the size of a pea) of this thick cream on each foot is all you need and the results are excellent. Definitely would re-purchase (it's also great on chapped elbows!)

I didn't like it, it didn't moisturise enough and it left my feet greasy to the point where I was slipping about in the shower the next morning.

I was really looking forward to trying this, but it's just so-so for me. It's a thick cream that feels like it should be super moisturising, but it takes a while to sink in and afterwards it doesn't really seem to have had a huge effect. My feet were definitely not super soft after using this, and it's not as if they were that bad to begin with! I'm pretty sure I can find better at this pricepoint (it is not cheap!) In fact, I'd say you could probably find better for much cheaper. I am not a fan of the lavendar scent either, and while the metal tube looks cute, now I'm at the end of my tube, it's a real pain to get the last 5-10 or so applications out. I'm trying Aveda's foot cream next.

I started using this recently. Previously I had been using Aveda's foot cream for 7 years! Needless to say it was time to switch it up. This one is good. It has a fairly competent amount of shea butter in it that'll keep your feet soft. It smells heavily of lavender. I'm not a huge lavender lover, but I find the scent calming nonetheless. The packaging is aesthetically pleasing and chic, but will wind up cracking as you begin to finish it. That's the problem with metal tubes. I find this leaves my feet feeling and looking touchable for most of the day. 12 hours or so, I'd say. I do like this foot cream, but something tells me I can find another of the same quality for less from a different brand. Just a hunch.

I have received this cream when I was in Paris. It was summer and with sandals no one wants cracked feet. So I've used it for a couple of months, despite its lavender smell which I do not like very much, it works but no miracles, Nivea would do the same. I prefer L'Occitane hand creams which have really a special formula.
(I love packaging because it looks like painting colors)

This is an effective foot cream but I'm really not keen on the lavender fragrance. I don't know why manufacturers always feel they have to put lavender in foot creams! I like lavender, but somehow once it's mixed with a cream it takes on a nauseous odour to me.

This has 15% shea butter,compared with the 20% in the hand cream which I also use. Personally I think it would be better with 20% like the hand cream but it's good just the same. But I won't repurchase, because of the lavender.

I also dislike the metal tube which always ends up cracked and messy by the time you get to the end. A plastic one would be so much nicer.

I love this foot cream!!!! I was on my way to mexico from vancouver and we had a stop over in Huston for a couple hors and I have always wanted to try this so I picked up a tube. my heels were very cracked at the time, we spent 9 nights in Mexico and I applied it twice a day and by the time we left my feel were completely healed. they were sooo baby soft and bad feet run in my family so I never thought they could be in such good shape. and befor eyou go thinking it was walking on the sandy beach that helped my feet I only went to the beach for 10 mins one day while we were waiting for a table for dinner and I wore sandals. so i know it was all the cream. Another plus this cream smells heavenly with natural lavender. I bought a 2nd tube in houston again on the way home but now I am out and while iwould love to buy another tube my local sephora doesn't carry it and wont whip it to canada and I would have to pay 12 dollars for shipping or drive an hour and pay ridiculous amounts for parking to get another tube so unfortunatley I can't afford to get another tube right now. But it is definatle the holy grail of foot cream!

Realy good product. I tend to use a foot file first then apply this cream before bed then put little socks on to make sure it works well and my feet are wonderfully soft and free of old dry skin. This is the best rich foot cream I have tried and I swear by it in the summer. Love the vintage packaging aswell.

well i liked this relaxing, lavender scented foot cream for a couple days.....then the rash/irritation started. that is very odd for me to have a reaction like that. it is still itchy. i'm pretty sure it's this cream b/c for a couple days or so i stopped using it, and the itchiness and redness reduced. then i used it again, same thing, itchy rash! i am bummed. i really don't like minty stuff in my foot cream, so this was great. but not the rash part. plus i'm not sure it was *that* moisturizing. for $26 i need something that's almost perfect. i'm taking it back.

I bought this in a set along with the hand cream and they are both excellent for cold Melbourne winters. The foot cream is very thick in texture and smells like lavender, which is nice but I prefer a lighter, minty fragrance for my foot care. It's immensely moisturising so I always put on cotton socks after, but since my feet aren't that dry I'd probably go back to the H20+ peppermint foot cream which moisturises, cools my feet and is much cheaper.

I liked this foot cream. I use it when I am giving myself a home pedicure, along with the foot scrub. Nice, smooth toes, with a minty fresh feeling. Nice for the summer.

Great product!
This is actually one of the few foot creams I don't mind having on my hands after applying:-)

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this foot cream worked for me. My feet usually get a bit of a bashing from the amount of running I do so this cream was a great follow up for the usual bi-weekly exfoliation. It left my feet feeling noticeably softer the day after I first started using it.

It's definitely a good idea to put on some socks right after applying the cream as it does not absorb entirely (like most other shea butter based moisturisers). That is, unless you don't mind getting oily footprints all over your floors.

This foot cream really works. My feet have never been softer. But, I gave it a 3 b/c the smell is atrocious! I recommend lathering it on your feet, putting on some thick socks, then WASH YOUR HANDS!

I have dry cracked heels, so I thought I give this product a try and went ahead to purchase the travel size at the L'Occitane outlet.

I'm usually a big fan of L'occitane, but the foot cream isn't my favorite. It's a nice consistancy cream that is cooling to massage into the foot and has a nice herbal (lavander) smell, but it didn't little to my crack heel. I will keep using it to see if there's any results, but so far there's no improvement or reason to purchase again.
