Flexitol every night. It is the only thing that works, but it really does work. It will work quicker if you lightly file the worst bits a few times to get off to a good start.

No way! It was out of stock in the first part of the pandemic but was in store. Gosh I've been using that for years Sad

Flexitol is brilliant

Superdrug's fast acting cracked heel cream is amazing. 30% urea, it's the highest I could find. Great for arm-bumps too!

You need 25% urea, 30% must be amazing.

I used to have deep heel cracks that didn't heal for years. CCS didn't cut it. Eventually saw a podiatrist who recommended Flexitol and stressed it had to be the 25%.

The heel crack went in under a week.

Consistency. I have the most painful, deep cracks that reappear every winter and summer, and regardless of what creams I've tried, and I've tried them all, applying any cream every day twice is a day at least, is the only thing that keeps it at bay.

Dermatonics Once is the best imo. 25% urea and prescribed for diabetics.

Electric footfile. Best ever investment much better than the scholl one and my trotters are lovely now.

Also a good cram to but I'm far to lazy to do that everyday.

Just have a nail tidy abs polish at the salon now.
