System Verdict
This is a solid crack-repair foot cream, but the heavy fragrance-and-essential-oil load keeps it from being a truly clean formula. The efficacy score is driven mainly by the high-position urea plus lactic acid and malic acid, which give this a real humectant-and-keratolytic profile for thick, dry foot skin; the base also has decent occlusives and emollients for softening. It loses points because the acids are not presented at known optimal leave-on strengths/pH, and the essential oils plus parfum add avoidable irritation risk without improving the core repair mechanism.
