I'm not sure if this will be of any use to you, but by far the best stuff I've ever used on my heels is this cream that I got on holiday in Spain a few years ago. It's so good that I always pick up some when I'm away (or ask family to bring it back for me!) Perhaps you could get it online here?

The Scholl one works well

I've tried the first 2 and I'd say Flexitol. I got a bulk buy pot from Amazon. I had deep, painful, bleeding splits in my feet and they'd all gone and my feet almost even looked normal after a few days-week. Now I'm maintaining religiously.

Loads of cream and then socks on top has worked for me.

Another vote for Flexitol here. Just dug mine out of the bathroom cupboard now it's sandal weather. I wash my feet last thing at night, apply the cream then wear socks overnight.

Anything with urea works, but as pp said, put socks on as well, so cream has time to work.

Another vote for flexitol. I footnered my feet then religiously put flexitol and socks on every night for about 10 days. My feet are now in good shape and really easy to maintain. I give them the odd grating and cream once a week (no socks needed).

The Wilko one works well for me. Very cheap too!

Does vaseline have urea in it?

Cetraben and, if you can find it at ths pharmacy, yellow soft paraffin ointment. I slather the dry bits of my feet with the ointment, wrap them in cling film and put on a pair of socks. Works best at night obviously! These were initially prescribed for me by a Dermatologist.

Flexitol, nothing else comes close.

Definitely flexitol

Ditto flexitol
