hi ya...well my VERY small pot arrived yesterday.....had the best customer in the world to try it on just so happen to be booked in last night.
I applied it let it soak in for about 5 mins as we are talking MEGA thick skin (euch!!) though whooppppppppeeeeeeeeee she is going to be so pleased with me tonight!
After 5 mins it said to wipe away and rasp/file...which i did not WOW results like i had expected??
Soaked.....scrubbed ...with my new creative tool....then decided to do a parrafin wax.
I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG??? How does everyone else use it and get wizzo results?

Hi Amb,
With super thick callouses, you may need to repeat the procedure a few times but it will work. The goal is to make the callous smaller but not take it away all together. Just make sure you start the whole thing with a nice long soak of at least 10 min. If I have to reapply it, I use a wet towel to remove the product in between applications so the foot bath doesn't turn into some weird primordeal soup.

You're welcome!
I think their directions aren't very concise but soaking will help soften the callous not to mention deodorize and sanitize the feet before working on them. Make sure you dry the foot before applying the gel so it doesn't get diluted.

Mrs Geek said:All the replies have been wonderful 'smooth don't remove' even better to do it using AHA Sea Serum which really breaks down harsh calluses..if you do a search on Sea Serum there should be some good info on it!!
Stick to your guns... your gut instinct serves you well! Unfortunately some people still live in the early 80's when it comes to 'how' treatments are performed!
I am seling 4oz creative sea serum on geekbay. £25. i have 3 to sell, brand new, just overstock that i dont need!!! lol.

I have to say that I think my heels would be a challenge to anything, they are so dry that they split right through the layers of skin so are extremely painfull to walk on and if you are on the beach, ouch!
I go to a chiropodist, she uses a blade, but I don't go very often as she said that just like cuticles, the more you cut the thicker it grows back, I have tried everything, but nothing gets rid of it, the only thing that gives some relief is Vaseline, then plastic booties with a pair of socks over, in bed, very sexy my husband loves it (not).
The doctor said its not related to my eczema, but the splits are very similar to what I get on my hands. I have just learned to live with it. :irked:
