Typical reviews:

“I love Natura Siberica, but, despite the name, I did not expect a greater effect from this remedy than cosmetic. The manufacturer himself writes that the cream works for about a day. Then it needs to be applied again. But she noticed that under the condition of constant use it acts as a good supportive therapy and saves from corns. ”

“Girls, this is a great tool at a low price! I immediately replace them with two creams that I used before (one just for moisturizing, the other from natoptysh). The result is almost threefold savings. ”

On the 4th place of our rating is the cream for heels "Sage and Linseed oil" from Green Mama - for its excellent texture and generous volume!

 

Our rating: 8.5 points

Typical reviews:

"The cream well softens dry skin of the heels, but for really problematic, cracking feet a little weak."

“It cools, tones, moisturizes well, suitable for skin of the feet with various problems. We buy it with the whole family, constantly. But at first glance, the cream in the package a lot, but it is consumed quickly. "

Our rating: 8.4 points

Approximate cost: from 320 rubles

And in order to permanently consolidate the result from pedicure procedures, apply “Intensive Recovery” cream (40 ml.) With B5 and allantoin on the heels.

Composition: different in different media

Minuses: if you buy all three creams, you will have to spend about 1000 rubles to care for your heels, and it will take a lot of time.

Typical reviews:

“I have been buying Neutrogena cream for a long time, and I usually take them from the pharmacy and always treat them as medicine. But earlier she used only tools for face and hands. Now I realized how much I underestimated the need for foot care! (I just didn’t think they could be so soft). ”

“Problems with heels began after childbirth. Over the month with “Intensive Recovery” they became much softer, but we are still in the process, although the cream is already running out (uneconomical consumption is obvious). But the tool "Neutrogena from corns" coped with my terrible natoptysh in a week! Very pleased.

So which heel cream is best to choose?

Generally speaking, all the funds that are included in this rating, noticeably help the rough, cracked feet. Just some of them do it faster, while others - act cumulatively. Some of the creams provide adequate care by themselves, others need helpers.

Choosing cream for cracked heels, focus on the condition of the feet. The optimal solution, in our opinion, is the exchange use of various means. For example, you can start with “heavy artillery” from Scholl or Neutrogena, and then treat the heels with “Healer”, and after that constantly use Green Mama or Natura Siberica as means for daily care.

We have it all. Be soft and gentle from top to toe! And do not forget to read the ratings of "Price Expert".
