Foodaholic Vaseline EX Foot Cream 60ml - Cracked Heel Repair Balm

Why Cracked Heels Need More Than Regular Lotion

Regular lotion sits on the surface and evaporates within an hour, which is why dry heels keep coming back no matter how often you moisturize. Foodaholic's Vaseline EX Foot Cream uses a petroleum jelly (Vaseline) base that works like a raincoat for your skin — it locks a moisture layer underneath instead of adding water on top, so your feet stay comfortable for hours instead of minutes.

How the Vaseline Barrier Works

Petroleum jelly is an occlusive: it doesn't hydrate on its own, it seals in the hydration already in your skin (and whatever the cream adds) so it can't escape through cracks in dry, rough patches. Think of it like plastic wrap over a bowl — nothing gets in, but more importantly, nothing gets out. That's why footcare brands still reach for it over trendier ingredients when heels are genuinely rough and cracked.

How to Use

1. Wash and pat feet completely dry

3. Wear cotton socks overnight (or at least 20 minutes) to let it absorb
4. Use nightly for the first two weeks, then 2-3 times a week for maintenance

FAQ: Will this feel greasy?

It's a rich balm, so it feels thicker than a body lotion going on — that's the point, since a thin lotion won't hold up against genuinely cracked heels. It sinks in within a few minutes if you massage it in properly, and socks speed that up.

FAQ: How long until I notice softer heels?

Most people notice smoother skin within 3-5 nights of consistent use. Deep, long-standing cracks take longer since it's working through layers of built-up rough skin.

FAQ: Can I use it during the day, under shoes?

Yes, but apply a thin layer — a thick coat under closed shoes on a hot day can feel slippery. It's built primarily as an overnight step where it has time to fully absorb.

FAQ: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Vaseline-based formulas are generally well tolerated since petroleum jelly is one of the most inert, low-irritation bases available. As with any new skincare product, patch test on a small area first.
