Dr. Scholl's Severe Cracked Heel Repair Balm 2.5 oz — 25% Urea Intensive Hydration & Soothing Epsom Salt

Dr. Scholl's Severe Cracked Heel Repair Restoring Balm is an intensive foot balm with 25% urea and Epsom salt designed to deeply hydrate, soothe, and help restore very dry, cracked heels.

When heels become thick, rough, or cracked they can be painful and embarrassing — and many over-the-counter moisturizers simply don’t penetrate hard, callused skin. This dermatologically tested balm combines a professional-strength concentration of urea with an Epsom salt and essential oil complex to draw moisture into the skin, soften tough areas, and leave a protective, non-greasy layer. It glides on easily, contains shea and cocoa butter for lasting hydration, and is formulated to be safe for people with diabetes when used as directed.

How does a 25% urea formula improve dry, cracked heels?

Urea at this concentration acts as a powerful humectant and keratolytic agent: it helps attract and bind water into the outer skin layers while gently softening thickened, dead skin so other moisturizers can penetrate. The result is improved flexibility and reduced roughness over repeated use.

• 25% urea draws moisture into deeper skin layers for stronger hydration
• Softens hardened, callused skin so the balm can restore smoothness
• Works alongside emollients like shea and cocoa butter for extended moisture

What immediate effects can I expect after application?

Right after you apply the balm, you’ll notice a smoother surface and a non-greasy protective layer that helps keep moisture locked in. The Epsom salt and essential oils are formulated to provide a calming sensation for irritated skin, while the rich emollients reduce roughness and visible flaking.

• Instant glide and smoothing feel upon application
• Invisible protective layer that reduces friction and drying
• Soothing peppermint and lavender blend to calm irritated skin

How should I incorporate this balm into my foot care routine?

Use the balm nightly or as needed on clean, dry feet for best results. Apply a generous layer to heels and any thickened spots; for very rough areas, follow with breathable socks to enhance absorption. Routine use supports ongoing hydration and helps reduce the recurrence of cracks.

• Apply to clean, dry heels once or twice daily; nightly use maximizes repair
• For stubborn areas, wear socks after application to improve absorption
• Part of a maintenance routine to keep heels smooth after initial repair

Is this product appropriate for diabetics and sensitive skin?

The balm is formulated to be safe for people with diabetes when used according to directions, and it’s dermatologically tested to reduce irritation risk. If you have heightened sensitivity or open wounds, check with a healthcare provider before use and avoid applying to open sores.

• Dermatologically tested to minimize irritation
• Marked safe for diabetics when used as directed
• Avoid use on open wounds; consult a clinician for severe cases
