Cracked Heel Restoring Cream

Hydraderm Cracked Heel Cream is BIOSAR's targeted care for fissured, callused heels. A higher concentration of Urea softens hardened skin and helps shed thickened layers; Shea Butter restores extended comfort; Glycerin reinforces daily hydration. Use it nightly until visible recovery, then taper to maintenance use. The dense texture stays put on the heel without sliding off into bedding. Cotton socks worn overnight extend the contact time and accelerate visible improvement. Suitable for adult heels with chronic dryness; consult a healthcare provider for diabetic foot care.

Why it works

Rough, split heels turn smooth and soft again. Salicylic Acid loosens hardened, cracked skin while Shea Butter, Argan Oil and Panthenol flood it with nourishment and comfort, and Vitamin E keeps it supple. Every step feels easier, and the sandal-ready result holds.

How this formula works

The kind of soft that lets you go barefoot without a second thought

Salicylic Acid does the demanding work here, gently loosening the hardened, thickened skin that leaves heels rough and cracked. It never works alone: Shea Butter and Argan Oil flood the same layer with cushioning richness while Panthenol and Vitamin E soothe and rebuild, so smoothing never tips into stripping. One nightly step retextures, comforts and protects together, and mornings arrive with heels that feel cared for rather than raw.

    Better hydration and less water loss than the vehicle

    A double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adult volunteers: after 7 days, skin treated with dexpanthenol was better hydrated and lost less water than skin treated with the vehicle alone. The abstract reports no effect sizes.
