Disadvantages: bit pricey

...next morning and bought some Mycil athletes foot powder. I have used this before, as atheletes foot is one of those awful things that will reoccur every now and again. This powder cost me 3.25 from Safeways and it comes in a dark blue plastic container with a yellow and blue label. It has a picture of a yellow foot on the front which says, duel action and is in an easy to use puffer pack with flip up lid. The words MYCIL are in blue capitals on ...
...have used this before having worked at a food factory where we all had to wear wellingtons and overalls, to prevent food contamination. This wearing of wellingtons for 6 hours a day did my feet no good and I ended up with atheletes foot. You can buy this in an ointment or spray, but I find the powder the best one to use as it drys the skin and atheletes foot is a fungal infection which prefers damp conditions. The powder contains an antifungal ... Read review

PACKAGING This ointment for athlete’s foot comes in a very brightly coloured blue and yellow box with a footprint down one side and ‘mycil’ along the other side. Its 11x3x3cm in size with all the instructions on the outside. The main problem I have ...
...and BAM, your secrets out. Its so glaringly obvious what it is that your bag only need come open and everyone knows you have fungal feet! Inside the box is a tube of the cream. It has exactly the same colouring and information as the box, which is good, because it means you can bin the box as soon as you get home, although it makes you wonder if they actually needed to put it in a box when they can put exactly the same on a tube. The tube comes ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Doesn't work

Verruca and Wart Remover Little Miss developed a small cluster of verrucas, which I put down to weekly swimming lessons. Undeterred, I decided to try to get rid of them using an over the counter product rather than taking her for doctor's treatment. I bought this and gave it a go… WHAT IS IT? This is apparently a product which is clinically proven to be as effective as the liquid nitrogen method used by doctors. With one treatment, it will freeze ...
...days, although there is a warning that verrucas may require additional treatments. Armed with this information, and given that it was verrucas I was treating, I was prepared to treat the offending verrucas several times. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING The product comes in a box with the most important information written on the box, and with full information and instructions on the leaflet contained inside the box. Open up the box and there is an aerosol ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and very effective
Disadvantages: You have to remember to use it

...am pleased to say that Scholl Cracked Heel Repair Cream did exactly what they said it would, when they said it would and you can't really say fairer than that! I saw the adverts for this product one Summer and it sounded good. As I had rather rough heels with quite a bit of dry skin I thought I would give it a try so when I saw it on sale in my local supermarket I popped it into my trolley and purchased it. It retails at around £5 for a 60ml tube ...
...spent. According to the Scholl website "At around four times thicker than the body's average, the skin on the soles of your feet is strong enough to absorb the impact of some 3.5 million steps every year. This tough-for-task aptitude is particularly true of the heel - the first part of the foot to make contact with the ground when walking or running. This resilience, however, is also the heel's weakness. " They go on to suggest that "Thick skin ... Read review
