MY 6th REPEAT ORDER
I chose, bought and paid for this product myself, nor was I approached to write this review. ONE PACKAGE CONTAINS TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS, INCLUDES AMPLE PRODUCT AND SUFFICIENT TAPE CLOSURES.
WHAT IT IS: These are light plastic pouches coated edge to edge on the inside with a gel product. You will want to remembe4 where you put that second set in the box, if you didn't give on3 to a friend. (PERFECT FOR A GIRLS' NIGHT IN.)
I'm not a routine type of person, but use this religiously every 2-3 months. Due to the frickin' supply chain, I bought 2 boxes, just in case. That's how much I love these. My feet before the very first treatment were dry, my heels were very tough, but NOT cracked, I had no open sores, broken nails or cuticles or any other skin irritations. I cannot speak to severely calloused, cracked, warty or fungal (athlete's foot) conditions. I can say if I had any of these, I been excited to try these.
Easy to use, pleasant fragrance, no excess packing materials and box recyclable (don't know about the booties). DO dry your fingers between putting boot on and using tape, as you will get the gel product on your hands. If that concerns you, wear gloves.
MEN, YOU REALLY NEED THIS. Your feet are just plain ugly and scratch anyone you cuddle with barefoot.
The clear plastic booties arrive in a foil packet and are “closed”; YOU WILL NEED SCISSORS to cut on dotted line to create opening. Booties have easy-to-recognize toe or heel and come up to the ankle. I RECOMMEND a pair of hospital footies or loose socks to put over product booties. You will feel your foot sliding a bit inside bootie, even with a sock. You will NOT be running errands or (yay) cleaning your house in these.
If user has mobility issue, be clear, these are not for walking around, but careful steps (NOT stairs) to and from your foot soak are OK. I think you should wear socks or booties to bed from the application to end of peeling, unless you want to find the dead skin in your bedding. Of course, your mother would tell you not to pick at your feet, but you do you! However, you could peel “too far” and tear skin not yet ready to peel. NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME.
AS TO THE RESULTS. There are two groups: those who love to go after their peeling skin and those who are completely disgusted. I, my daughter and her kids are all peelers! You're NOT supposed to pick at or manually pull off peeling skin. You ARE supposed to soak your feet daily for better results. I rely how much of a soak my feet get in my showers. But the results have been unfailingly great each time. I will say that in the early uses, much more dead skin was removed than later when my feet were already in better condition.
IT IS AMAZING how much skin comes off, once the initial peeling begins in a week or so. This gets places no pedicurist goes: the skin all around your toenails, between toes, somewhat on top of feet and on ankles (depending how high the product boots come up on you).
The first time I used this, it took about 6 or 7 days before I saw my feet start to peel; about 2 weeks in all before completed. It seems the driest areas peel first. I did try a different brand and was very disappointed. HOWEVER, the results are most dramatic with your first box or two. I try to keep my feet moisturized, but who am I kidding? It would be interesting to compare this product's effects to the feet of someone who gets regular pedicures.
If you read this far, please yes where asked if this review is helpful. Enjoy, and put your best foot forward.
