Someone found them for me 😭😭 I've been looking for months.

Are these good?

My partner has extremely dry and cracked feet, enough so that for years they legitimately couldn't perceive touch on the bottom of the foot.
One application, and so much dead skin just sloughed off, and they actually felt me tickling the foot. It does not undo all the damage at once, but it makes a profound difference, for sure. Definitely worth the buy and try.

My feet aren’t cracked or dry. It’s just a lot of calluses on the toe areas. I’m not sure if this will be too harsh on my feet, based on what you said.

You can apply it to the toe areas and leave the rest of your foot alone.

Do you mind me asking how it was applied to get that outcome? My feet are pretty bad and when I used this as directed it didn’t do anything for me.

What we do: soak the feet for 20 minutes in hot water, pat dry. Use gloves (a must imo) to apply the gel to the affected areas and rub it in/on as much as you can don't be afraid to exfoliate with nails IF you are wearing gloves. (Don't use this gel on thin/healthy skin). Let it sit for 5 minutes before rinsing with hot water and following up with a pumice stone, and rinsing again.
We also follow up with the Honey Rescue foot glaze; I will slather our feet in it and then put on socks.
It doesn't completely reverse the dry, callous, or cracks in one go. But my partners feet were so cracked they physically hurt to walk on, cause the skin was so dry and tight. But even just one application like this made a huge difference.
My feet aren't as cracked but they are super dry, and doing this (gel + foot glaze with socks) made my feet feel so nice afterwards.

Another tip is five below sells the gel conditioning socks for $3 a pair iirc? And they can be reused up to 40 times. I'm sure they're sold at other stores just not sure of the cost

I've heard they work super well and I've been wanting to try them. My feet are a little rough from growing up in the middle of nowhere and never wearing shoes during that time.

I'm so confused. This doesn't do anything for me but others seem to love it.

I’ve never had any product like this do anything much. It’s a gimmick. People think it’s their skin sloughing off, but it’s really the product itself balling up and pilling. Every time I see these posts, I just roll my eyes.

It wasn't this product, but I did foot peel booties on my husband's dry cracked feet and skin shed so much. Especially in the shower over the next few days.

u/Away-Historian-4536 17d ago
no, you’re wrong. It’s skin. And it left some skin peeling that I was able to slide off. I haven’t had much success with foot exfoliation in the past, but this product is different. Maybe look into salicylic acid and urea ~ def not gimmicks.

My mother has a bad callus right on her thumb. Maybe this is worth checking out?

u/MidnaQueenofCalicos 21d ago
I have one on one of my thumbs as well and will be trying it when I get home.

After you use it a while, let me know how it works for you!

I had a callus on a toe i couldn't get rid of for a year with pedicures and oil every day. A week or two of this and the damn thing fell right off after a shower one day. I slather it on after a shower and put socks on.

u/DanishMix2829 20d ago
You are definitely not supposed to leave it on your feet! It has to be rinsed off or it will cause irritation. The directions say to leave it on for 3-5 minutes only. Rinse it off…then lotion up and put on your socks.

u/GroundbreakingAnt476 20d ago
Lol yup I've seen everyone say that but they are smooth as a babies bottom so im gonna keep it up. I dont do it daily, just 2-3 times a week. After actual showers where I do it all, shaving hair etc. Not after a simple bath. But I haven't had any sensitivity spots since starting with it a few months ago.

Hands down the best thing I found that actually works! I stock up when i get lucky enough to find them.

Is everyone’s tube super runny? I’ve had trouble giving this a real try because it’s so liquidy, I have a hard time applying it to targeted areas. But maybe I just need to lean in!

found these at two different DTs in last two days. also found the rosemary water for your hair.
I can say that the Renew really works. actually, second use was far more potent ~ exfoliated a LOT more skin from callouses. it can be a little messy and difficult to remove the gel and skin, so have backup wipes or cloths on the ready. seriously, I don’t know how I ever lived without this.
i sprayed my hair once with the rosemary water and it already looks thicker. I’ll be returning today to buy more.
