Gorgeous feet cracked heel repair does exactly what it says on the tube, repairs those nasty cracked heels. This is a wonderful product with a delicious sweet and creamy aroma and best of all is non greasy although an oily based moisturising product and ideal for anyone who suffers from extremely dry cracked skin around the heel area which can often be caused by prolonged standing, so if you're on your feet all day, be it at work or home you may find that you suffer from cracked heels like me. This product is suitable for any age and any gender so guys don't be shy and look after those feet.

Directions for use as stated on the tube:
"Use morning and night for one week, then as needed. For extremely damaged skin the treatment may take longer."

I have worked in retail for a number of years now and find that being on my feet all day puts a tremendous amount of stress and pressure on my feet causing the skin to need a little extra TLC. especially around the heel area. I have tried many different products in my attempt to eradicate this rather unpleasent hardened and cracked skin and it wasn't until I used cracked heel repair from the Boots Gorgeous feet range that I felt I had found my cure. I used this religiously for a week , rubbing it on day and night as stated in the directions, always putting socks on afterwards to ensure that the cream did not rub off and as if by magic the rough skin gradually became softer and before long my cracked heels were no more.

So what's in it?

Here's a rundown of the ingredients for those of you who are interested in knowing what goes into these sorts of products.

Ingredients:
Aqua, Glycerin, paraffin, pronus dulcis, isopropyl myristate,
Dimethicone, vitis vinifera, glyceral stearate,
Cetyl alcohol, Steareth-21, steareth-2, Phenoxyethanol,
Theobroma cacao, Vaccinium myrtilus, Panthenol,
Xanthan Gum, Saccharum officinarum, Methylparaben,
Dipropylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propykoaraben, parfum, Citrus aurantium dulcis, Citrus medica limonum, BHT,
Acer saccharum extract, Tetrasodium EDTA,
Hydroxyisohexyl 3 - cyclohexenecarboxaldehyde,
Benzyl alcohol, Linalool.

What does it claim to do?
"This intensive heel balm has been specially formulated for this skin on your feet, with instant improvement from first use, and a visible imporvement in cracked heels in 3 days."

As you can see from my comments above, this product does work tremendously and I did start to see results almost immediately after using it for the first time.

The only thing I disliked about this product is that it did not come in a smaller tube offering only 150ml and 100ml options. Since using the product, my cracked heels have not returned and I have not even used half of the product contained in the 100ml tube. There is however no use by date so I'm sure if my cracked heels were to return then I wouldn't have to go and buy another one. For now though - I'll keep this one safely tucked away in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

Overall an excellent product at a reasonable price which I would recommend for anyone with dry cracked heels.
