L'Occitane15% Shea Butter Foot Cream Enriched with Lavender & Arnica 5.30 fl oz

I suffer from cracked heels, especially in the summer when flip flops are my main source of pedi-transport. A few things:1. It works immediately with on-the-spot hydration. The consistency is thick but not greasy. I use about a dime’s worth on each foot before bed or when I get out of the shower, and that’s enough to transform my feet from dead-snake-skin rough to something more rose-petal smooth. When I use this before bed, I find that my feet glide smoothly under my sheets. The cream absorbs into my skin without leaving a residue on my sheets. Most importantly, I have a tendency to rub my feet together and with this cream, it’s joyful to experience my feet feeling like little silky hairless cats rubbing against each other. (Sorry. It’s the only way I can describe this sensation and will stop.) Next…2. The scent is great: subtle and doesn’t linger long. Smells like the REAL lavender in my front yard (sans bees), not synthetic. Because this is foot cream, I use it and wash my hands afterwards, finding that there’s no residue, just a slight tint of lavender diluted by my soap de jour. Sometimes I go a little crazy and use it on my hands so that they don’t complain about my feet getting better treatment. Really, though, a nice, relaxing scent that makes one wonder why Simon and Garfunkel didn’t add lavender to their parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme litany.3. I’ve used this product for the past few years; I use it about twice a week, targeting my heels, as noted, and go through about one tube per year. It’s expensive, so I use it sparingly but with steady, positive results.If you’re spooked by the price, maybe go with the travel-sized version before committing to this bigger tube. It’s pretty wonderful, so if you can, I’d urge anyone to just go for it and splurge, knowing that your feet will gleam after use. If you’re like me, you’ll be in awe of its magic and go down the rabbit-hole search for other L’Occitane products. (I am also a disciple of their Softening Almond Shower Oil.)

Every winter, I suffer from cracked heels because it is so dry here. Painful cracks, bleeding, having to scrape my heels only to have it crack again.I’ve had this foot cream for a few years sitting in my nightstand and would use it from time to time. But this year, I decided I would try to work on my heels before it became a problem. So every day after I shower, I immediately rub this all over my feet and then put on socks or wear my slippers until the cream has fully absorbed into my skin, before I go about my day. It has been so effective and we are two months into the colder winter season and I have not suffered from any cracked heels at all. I will scrape them from time to time, but it has been far less since I’ve been using this every single day. I was trying everything—foot balms, Band-Aids, sleep socks that are supposed to hold moisture in. I’m so relieved that I’ve found such a simple remedy. I might even try the more intensive Shea butter content for extra moisturization.

I only write reviews in extreme cases and this is one of them. This cream is amazing!The scent is pleasant. I’m picky about lavender. Lavender scented things can be quite perfumy to me, but actual lavender and lavender essential oil is nice. This would definitely fall under that category. It just smells nice and calming.As for the consistency, I think it’s the best moisturizer that I’ve had. It’s thick and creamy. It’s so smooth, you can’t wait to rub it on, but it soaks in right away. It’s like it’s what your skin has been waiting for it’s whole life. IT IS NOT GREASY AT ALL!!! After I put it on my feet and rub it in, rub my hands together a couple of times to get the rest to soak in, then instantly I can snap my fingers. I have never liked the feeling of lotion on my hands, which has been especially difficult post-Covid, with the frequent hand washing. I usually apply lotion and then wash it off of my fingers. NOT with this cream. I apply the cream at night or after a shower. It doesn’t leave residue on my sheets. I even use my iPad after applying it and there are no greasy prints on my screen. And my feet are as smooth as a baby’s butt!Yes, I know the price might be higher than you want to spend on your feet, but I absolutely don’t regret it. And you use so little, it’ll last quite a while. This stuff is like a foot spa in a tube!

Just WOW! Loving this cream. Does miracles for my dry heels.

I l love this product. I use it every night. It makes my feet so soft. My nail tech tells me I make her job easy when she gives me a pedicure.Lois

Nice.

Just WOW! Loving this cream. Does miracles for my dry heels and feet.

Highly recommend both the foot cream and hand cream from this company. I love that the foot cream has arnica root in it. Great for achyness, I use arnica gel for aches, brillant idea to put it in a foot cream, perfect for tired feet at the end of a long day.I love that the scents from this company are subtle and natural smelling. I hate scented stuff, love their hand and foot creams.Get your self an exfoliating foot scrub and this foot cream and you’ll have the feet of a goddess.
