Gold Bond Therapeutic Foot Cream, 4 oz., With Jojoba & Peppermint Oil, Foot Moisturizer

This foot cream is absolutely the bomb. I started using it a little over two weeks ago and where my feet were at one time, dry, cracked, painful and just gross despite my best efforts at moisturizing and protecting them, they are now smooth, strong, soft, completely healed and feel much better than they have in years. This is good stuff folks. I also highly recommend it if you have a medical condition such as diabetes that makes preventing wounds on your feet a critical exercise. For that purpose, this should be your go to foot treatment. It really does exactly what it says it does and makes your feet feel soft but at the same time strengthening and providing elasticity to the skin which prevents tears and cracking which can be VERY dangerous for someone with certain medical conditions such as diabetes. It does have a very subtle scent, so anyone senstive to smell should be cautious of that, but the smell is VERY subtle; it's just a slight hint of tea tree oil. It's in no way overpowering. It's safe for daily use and I use it right out of the shower or bath to lock in the moisture, then throw on a pair a warm socks over the freshly applied cream to further protect my feet. It also protects my carpet from stains. I mean, at the end of the day, the main ingredient is petrolatum which can stain if rubbed on certain materials. A word of caution: this product obviously has tea tree oil in it; that is one of it's advertised ingredients and in a concentration that produces at least a mild scent. If you're not familiar with it, tea tree oil is an antiseptic that comes from the leaves of the Malaleuca alternifolia tree, a tree native to the swampy southeastern Australian coast. Because it is such a potent antiseptic, in high concertrations it can skin irritation and swelling, but even small amounts it can still cause a gentle tingle when applied to sensitive skin which can be shocking if in the wrong area on your body. For that reason, and for celanliness' sake, I suggest washing your hands after applying this cream to your feet BEFORE you touch any other part of your body. I made the mistake of touching a senstive area on mine on the way to wash my hands the first time I used the cream. I didn't realize I had done it until it started to tingle. And while the tingle was extremely mild, it was shock in the area of of my body that the cream wound up on and it slightly overstimulated my skin and caused very light redness in addition to the tingle. While not a completely unpleasant experience, it's probably not one I would choose to repeat in that senstive area. So, skip washing your hands at your own peril because you may wind with a tingle someplace you were just not expecting it. All-in-all, it's a product that does exactly what it claims to do and it does it well. It's inexpensively priced which makes this amazing product all the more a bargain. So, if you care about your feet and want to maintain their health, I suggest tarting with this cream.
