I decided to show three foot creams that I currently use in one comparison. For those interested in maintaining good skin condition after a pedicure, rough skin or constant dryness - welcome.)
Swatches of creams in the same order as above:
I don’t have very problematic skin on my legs, but it is constantly dry and rough if it doesn’t receive proper care. Therefore, a good file, foot scrub and urea creams are my everything. I also use foot creams with urea to soften the skin on my elbows, because... They just make my elbows soft and not flaky. So, let's start with Novosvit Balm for rough skin of the feet (from cracks and abrasions), 100 ml, manufactured by Narodnye Promysly LLC , Russia.
A nice plastic tube with a hinged lid and a convenient dispenser, the cream is white, the most liquid of all three, a drop spreads on your hand. The manufacturer promises softening of rough skin, prevention of abrasions and corns, and moisturizing. The composition is typical for the mass market.
It is completely absorbed in 5-10 minutes, the skin is velvety and soft afterwards, but not for long, the hydration is short-lived. Consumption is average.
The aroma is simple and not the most pleasant, to be honest - a pronounced sourness and a simple cosmetic fragrance that remains on the skin for quite a long time. I have been using this cream for about a month, it is quite capable of maintaining the skin in normal condition, but it copes worse with already rough skin and corns, I have no cracks, I don’t know how it will cope with them, but although my elbows do not peel off with it, dry. In general, this is an average effective foot cream, and definitely not for very problematic skin. Pros: convenient packaging, large volume, easy to find on sale, reasonable price. Cons: weak effect, very intrusive aroma.
Now Organic foot care keratolytic foot cream against cracks, corns, rough skin with a urea content of 16.4% from Floresan LLC, Russia.
The cream is packaged in a box, the neck is sealed with protective foil, the lid is unscrewed, the volume is 100 ml. The tube is made of soft plastic, allowing you to use the cream completely without any problems.
The leading ingredients in the composition are mineral oil (to create a protective film on dry and damaged skin) and urea (for exfoliation and moisturizing), but there are also plenty of oils and extracts.
The cream is white, dense, holds its shape on the hand, is completely absorbed in 10 minutes, feels comfortable, but there is still a film from it. The aroma is bright, something fir-coniferous-juniper)), it lasts for quite a long time and I’m already bored to hell.
In general, the cream is worthwhile, it is more nourishing, fights well against rough skin and corns, protects against dryness, softens, and is absorbed quite quickly. My elbows liked it more than others, it makes them soft and doesn’t flake. I bought a second package, rating 4 out of 5 only because of the smell, it’s terribly annoying.
And finally - Novosvit foot balm softening with urea content 12% , manufactured by Narodnye Promysly LLC, Russia.
Volume 100 ml, plastic tube with a hinged cap. The composition is difficult to photograph, so here it is: Aqua (Water), Urea, Glycerin, Stearin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Mineral Oil, Allantoin, Quercus Robur (Oak) Bark Extract, Chelidonium Majus (Celandine) Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Citric Acid, BHT, Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Benzyl Alcohol, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Parfum, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol, Citral.
In general, this feels like the “big brother” of the balm for rough skin on the feet from Novosvit, they are very similar, only this one works a little better in terms of softening. This is a white cream, thick, but quickly absorbed, almost imperceptible on the skin. The same aroma - simple, bright and terribly annoying. It softens and moisturizes quite well, slowly but surely gets rid of dry skin, and maintains softness. Average in efficiency, but quite functional. 4 out of 5 for this terrible scent, it would be better to have no scent at all than this.
Thank you for your attention, I hope it was useful.
Of this trinity, the best was the Organic foot care keratolytic foot cream against cracks, corns, rough skin with a urea content of 16.4% from Floresan LLC, Russia, I give it 4 out of 5, and if not for the aroma, I would have deserved 5.
Second place with a rating of 4 out of 5 goes to Novosvit Softening Foot Balm with a urea content of 12%, and third place - a C in everything - Novosvit Balm for rough skin of the feet (from cracks and abrasions).
