Alpha Hydrox Deep Therapy Foot Cream, 4 oz

Okay. I have bad, bad feet. It's really embarrassing & I won't go barefoot unless I am greased down like crazy! I've used callus removers, pedi-files and all kinds of softeners. What attracted me to this one is the fact that I can apply it, leave it on and just let it do its thing. The 4oz size is a generous amount because I only to to use a little bit for morning and night applications. It's going to last a while. After the very first application, I could see that this was VERY moisturizing to my awful feet. I could feel a slight sensation that let me know the cream was working. Not painful, but a really faint tingling about 10 minutes after applying. I don't have any cracking at the heels or anything like I know some folk do, but I have a lot of scaliness that I have to battle with lotion 2 or 3 times a day. I put this alpha hydrox on in the morning and then again before bed (and wear socks). It softens the skin and hides the "foot dandruff" already. I'm hoping that, over time, the A. H. ingredients will heal this so I won't be worried about baring my feet. I am only using this on the bottoms of my feet (and with socks) so I'm not using sunscreen with it. One of my nieces lives in the Lower 48 and wears a lot of open-heeled shoes. She has a lot of dryness and cracking on her heels. I would not recommend this to her because of that. I have spent lots more on other treatments & at least this one is giving results I can notice from the get-go. Since this costs about half of what I have sometimes paid for an intense moisturizer, it's not a bad price for the size & number of applications I will get out of this. I will probably be getting more of this for myself and letting friends try it out to see if they want to get their own.

UPDATE on 1/20/2017This arrived to me without a tamper-evident device (such as a strip of tape that would break when the tube is opened, or a seal under the cap). The box it came in also did not have a tamper-evident device. I found the manufacturer's website and emailed them asking how they package it. Turns out, the manufacturer does *not* use any tamper-evident devices on the tube or the box. Also, they're still selling this product using their previous "A" logo. On their website, you can see the new logo which is already on some products. BTW, nothing seems wrong about the product I received this time.PREVIOUS REVIEWI use this for skin softening and smoothing. This product is not as thick as "cream" usually means. It's almost lotion in texture. I use it on the skin on my heels which easily becomes very dry, thick, and cracks. A cream moisturizer like Cetaphil or even Eucerin is not enough for my heels. I need this instead. Because the product is fairly thin, a little goes a long way. After several minutes, the product dries and is not sticky. In the past I tried their product with the lower percentage AHA and even applied daily it's not enough for my heels. Warning: If you have a cut on your skin where you apply this product, you feel it sting! Also, if you put it on your hands at night, then splash your face in the morning --and get some water in your eyes-- it will sting!

This cream is very rich and rubs in nicely. The idea of the alpha hydrox content is interesting, and is actually a higher level of this content that in some other creams I have tried. It hasn't taken me long to use most of this, thus I'm not sure if the expensiveness will deter me from buying this again. Otherwise, I like the texture of the cream, and I think it is helping me with my continuous dry foot problems. Living here in the mountains, dry feet are a year-round problem.

I purchased this on advice of a friend who absolutely swears by it. I have tried many things including foot peels and sloughing cream that burned my feet. Not much worked for my "love to go barefoot" cracked feet so I was pretty skeptical. I tried it at night with socks. I woke in the morning and my feet were softer. After about a week they were incredibly soft and nice looking. Me with nice looking feet!!!!!! This is an awesome foot cream. I like it for my hands, too. Silky, nor greasy. The bomb.

This foot cream is good, but the tube doesn't hold much. This is deceiving because the tube is large. I ran out too soon. Otherwise, it is a good product. I would have given it a 5 star if it had lasted longer.

This product is a must have for spring, especially if you are going to run around in those cute sandals. This product will make feet soft and will get rid of those dry foot lines. I must say that I have always taken care of my feet, so if you have problem feet, you may need a pedicure. But for me this product made my feet extra soft and free of drying skin....It has become part of my regimen for soft feet yearly.

This is one of the best foot creams that I have used in a while. It has no fragrance, is non greasy and is easily absorbed. I have been using it for for three days and have noticed that my feet feel much softer.

Once again...WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU Alpha Hydrox? Its just a cream. You could put petroleum jelly on with socks and get more softness. There is none of that sloughing you would expect based on their old products. Just put lotion on your feet. Whatever you have except suave...that's how it works. BIG disappointment because when I was a teenager I used their alpha hydrox face cream on my feet and got amazing results. (I am prone to calluses.)
