can someone recommend a lotion or cream that works well to keep feet soft and help them not to crack? i have noticed lately my feet are feeling really rough and seem to have little cracks in them around the heels-thank you

A foot cream won't work alone. You have to soak your feet in soapy water and use a foot sander to sand off the dead skin...then cream your feet with a moisturizer. Take care of your feet. Make it a monthly routine.

use a creams containig hight percentage of Urea (natural moisturiser and keratolytic).
in your case probably urea 50% is the most suitable. Eucerin cream mentioned before is very good but contains 10% urea only. anyway it all depends on how thick your heels are.
try SVR Xerial cream 50%. it'll not only keep them soft, but also removed the dead skin layers when u rub. it can be used also on knees, elbows and any place where a thickened skin is placed.

it happens to everybody! Use a pumice stone or special foot file & rub lots of lotiion in. There are a lot of foot creams on the market & all are pretty good. A great treatment is to put socks on after the lotion when you go to bed.

Hi I use a hand cream but it is for extremely dry skin and had work better on my feet than special creams for feet.Moisture Therapy Intensive by Avon.I have recommended to everyone and it had work for them too.It is thick,creamy and it dries fast so you wouldn't have the oily sensation that other creams leave.

try using a little bit of Vaseline on your feet rub it in then be sure to wear socks after that use some hand lotion for extremely chapped/ dry skin! :)

Eulactol heel balm together with cotton socks will do the job.
This ointment is made in Australia.

Use a good hand lotion (extra care).

Eucerin cream is really good.
