AVON Foot Works Intensive Callus Cream questions

14 years ago

Does anyone have a tube of the Intensive Callus Cream item that you can "read" off the back label to me?

I need to know:

1 - Is it medicated; meaning, are the ingredients different than what's on the website:

WATER/EAU

GLYCERIN

AMMONIUM GLYCOLATE

CETEARYL ALCOHOL

GLYCOLIC ACID

BEHENYL ALCOHOL

STEARETH-21

ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE

ORYZA SATIVA (RICE) BRAN OIL

ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE

TOCOPHERYL ACETATE

BENZYL ALCOHOL

STEARETH-2

SQUALENE

MENTHOL

METHYLPARABEN

MENTHA PIPERITA (PEPPERMINT) OIL

LECITHIN

GLYCINE SOJA (SOYBEAN) OIL?

They are for the Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief Cream. The website doesn't list the medicated ingredients.

That leads me to the next question:

2 - Do I have to stop use of this cream after a certain amount of time unless directed by a doctor?

With the Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief Cream I was expecting to use it continuously, but I can only use it for a week, according to the back label's warnings, which also aren't listed on the website.

Thanks in advance for replies!

I have used both products. The Intensive Callus Cream is very good and no, it isn't medicated. You can use it as often as you like I believe. I love the stuff. Used 2 times a day for two weeks, my feet looked great. That reminds me, I need some.

The Therapeutic Cracked Heel Relief cream is medicated in that it has a numbing substance for the pain from cracked skin. I think this might be a problem for people with impaired circulation as with diabetes.

I've just been poking around looking for something interesting, and Crack Cream caught my eye! If you don't mind another solution..... I have a prescription cream from my dermotologist called LacHydrin.It's not the sweetest smelling stuff, but it keeps my feet from cracking and heals the cracks I get when I've neglected to use it. I have tried many, many other creams and lotions and LacHydrin (or its generic counterpart) is far superior.

Hi, Libbyliz. Funny to find this here today. I just watched the Oprah program today with Dr. Oz and a skin specialist (summer rerun)and they talked about cracked heals. Skin gal said to use a Stridex pad--yes, the Acne medicine--followed by a good slathering of Vaseline or thick skin cream. Cover with socks and leave on overnight. Continue use and you'll never have cracked heals again she said. I've soaked, sloughed off the dead dry skin and applied Vaseline and socks overnight and it really works, so was wondering if adding Stridex would make a difference. And I'd think, use as needed.

Eye cream question
Q

I have used Clinique 'repairwear' eye cream for about 18 years. I use it in the morning and at night I can not live without it. Nothing makes wrinkles go away but you need to moisturize, it just makes the wrinkles look softer not so deep. I have very sensitive skin and this is the only eye cream that does not bother me, Clinique has two creams the other makes my eyes puff up. I think the skin around your eyes is more sensitive than the face so you need a cream made for the eyes lots of companies make them.

My "annual" winter question: Best hand creams?
Q
Comments (27)
Boy, skin must differ a lot from person to person, which I guess makes sense. I have a lot of winter damage to my hands. I start out with dry skin, and then I develop sores from Raynauds that often crack and bleed. I'm amazed that a dermatologist would advise against using skin creams for crack-prone skin. If I didn't use some serious products on my hand I'd probably have gangrene at this point. No exaggeration. For me, nothing heals existing damage like Working Hands. Other products like the Aveeno I mentioned above might prevent cracks from starting, but I don't know that for sure. I never heard of Gloves in a Bottle, but I just looked it up on Amazon and will probably try it. Thanks! This post was edited by alisande on Thu, Dec 18, 14 at 16:55

Go for a professional pedicure. They don't cost that much and are wonderful if you have feet that callus easily like I do. I sleep so much better at night with soft heels...no catching the sheets with scratchy uncomfortable spots on my feet. You can then maintain your feet yourself using the right products religiously if you want to. But beware; once you have a good pedicure with massage you will want to keep going back.
