Great for sensitive skin, highly effective. Love it!
I've used several foot peels and this one was by far the best! It's springtime and summer is on the way, and I wanted my feet sandal ready, and they are on their way!
The process DOES take a couple weeks, so don't use it on a Monday and expect to wear sandals that weekend.
For optimal results, begin by soaking your feet for at least 15-20 minutes prior to putting the booties on. They also suggest 30 minute daily foots soaks throughout the process, and yes, while that can be time consuming, if you don't follow the recommendations and don't see the greatest results, you really don't get to complain.
After a half hour soak with hot water and Epson salt, I dried my feet throughly. I have small, narrow feet, and the booties are quite large to accommodate all foot sizes. After cutting a thin hole in the top, I put my foot in, and squeezed out any excess air trapped inside before securing them with tape around my ankles. I put thick socks over them to ensure the solution was right against my skin the whole time, laid down and watched a couple episodes of my current show.
I gently massaged my feet every few minutes, working the liquid into my skin. I felt a cool, soothing tingle.
After an hour and a half I removed the booties and worked the excess into my feet. All done!
I have thick calluses on my heels, and wanting the best results possible, I made sure to do daily soaks. Sometimes the whole half hour just wasn't possible with a toddler running around, so 10-15 minutes had to do. Most days I took advantage of her bathtime to soak.
At day 3 I had mild peeling. By day 6, it REALLY began!
As you can see by my photos, my feet were literally shedding. The directions recommend not pulling the skin off, as allowing the skin to naturally dry out works best. It was SO hard to resist peeling them! One thing that was especially surprising? I realized my feet had looked so dirty! After they peeled, the fresh, smooth skin was so bright, next to the skin that hasn't yet peeled, I saw how dark and almost yellowish it was. Yuck!
I'm on day 14 and my feet are STILL peeling, however I'm reaching the end of the process. While I'm extremely pleased with these, the back of my heels had very thick calluses, and even though I had very thick pieces of skin peel off, there is some remaining thickness. But it is about 10 times better than it was, and about 90% of my foot looks brand new. I'll post another photo in a couple days when the process is completely finished.
I'll be doing a second treatment in a few weeks. But I know my feet are probably worse than most, (I walk around barefoot ALOT) so I believe the average person would be truly satisfied with just one treatment. Those with very thick calloused feet like my own may need the 2nd treatment.
I cannot stress enough: it takes time to begin AND complete the process. All of these review complain, "It's day 3/4 and I've had barely any peeling." I wonder how many of them have massive peeling by day 7-10 and don't bother editing their review.
The simple, natural ingredients in this product was a big plus for me. I have sensitive skin, and this proved to be gentle and effective.
All in all, if you want baby soft feet ready to show off for cute summer sandals, I highly recommend this foot peel above others. Its highly effective, great price, minimal, natural ingredients, and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. Follow the directions, be patient, and you'll have the best results possible!
