Dry skin has always been a problem for me, and after years of dealing with dry patches that seemingly could never be gotten rid of, I now have an encyclopedic knowledge of which moisturizers actually work. And as the self-described “Queen of Hydration,” I’m here to tell you why you absolutely need to O’Keeffe’s Healthy Foot Creamwhich is now on sale on Amazon for just $9 a jar.
Amazon
This foot cream heals, soothes and repairs, bringing your feet back to summer softness with every use.
Why is it a good deal?
I spent a lot of money trying moisturizers, heel balms, pumice stones, and even special pedicure treatments to keep my feet dry, soft, and supple, but nothing really helped until I discovered O’Keeffe’s Healthy Foot Creamcurrently on sale on Amazon for $9. Considering the cost of a quality anti-callus pedicure can run upwards of $50 these days, less than $10 is a total steal.
Why do I need this?
My feet stay dry year-round, to the point where my heels get cracked enough to catch on bed sheets—a pretty serious problem that a lot of people deal with, and often a huge struggle to reverse. But O’Keeffe’s Healthy Foot Cream, just like their hand cream, is a game changer. Our senior beauty editor agrees: “This brand’s formula is somewhat legendary for its intense hydration of even the driest feet,” she wrote in a roundup of the best foot care products on the market.
The main difference between O’Keeffe’s and other foot moisturizers is the increased concentration of allantoin, an ingredient that is particularly effective at penetrating the thicker skin of the feet to retain moisture. This, combined with the glycerin, allows the cream to create a protective layer around dogs, increasing moisture and helping to retain it.
To test, I applied the foot cream to my heels and soles before bed, then put on a pair of socks to help keep the cream from running while I slept. (O’Keeffe’s recommends exfoliating your skin before applying the cream, but I skipped that step and still found it worked.) After a few nights, the cracking on my feet noticeably diminished and the dryness was practically gone. As I continued to use it, the cracks also disappeared.
What the reviewers say
I’m not the only one who raves about O’Keeffe’s – over 62,000 (!) five-star Amazon reviewers know this cream be the miracle in a jar that it is.
Pros
“OK, guys, these things are amazing.” one reviewer said. “My daughter hates using anything on her feet…her little feet were all red and cracked. This stuff is mind-blowing. Two, just two, applications were enough for my son’s feet to look healthy again!”
Another user gushed: “I wish with all my heart I had taken a before and after photo of my feet!! One foot (not so much the other) was horrible. I would have the worst itch, leaving me miserable for days on end. The foot was horrible, with peeling skin, raw, red everywhere, no calluses and hard… I tried it on a whim and it changed my life now I can wear sandals without shame… After two days, the itching subsided. Within a week, my feet started to noticeably heal… They are really soft and beautiful again!!”
A five star fan admitted: “I really didn’t have much hope for this cream, so I didn’t think to take a photo. What a shame, because my feet are night and day. … I had a callus where the back of my foot rubs against my shoes and it’s practically gone now. You don’t even see it anymore. wow impressed.”
“My feet have always had disgusting, dry and cracked heels,” he confessed. another customer. “I’ve tried wearing socks with lotion before and didn’t get any results. I read about this stuff and was skeptical, but I thought I’d give it a try. Wow. Just a miracle! I rub my heel on the bottle and just add a thin coat of this stuff every night and It’s like I got a new pedicure. To improveSeriously, because this never ends! I don’t know what witchcraft this is, but WOW!”
Cons
Some reviewers cautioned that the cream should be used routinely to get the best results: “This is a great product if you use it consistently. Otherwise, it’s like anything else—it will moisturize, but it won’t [heal] your skin,” noted a user.
Another reviewer criticized: “It leaves a very greasy feeling on my feet. I apply it at night when I go to bed, otherwise it feels unpleasant on my socks,” adding, however, “It seems to be helping with dry feet, though.”

“I love this stuff! I’m a firefighter and I wash my hands constantly,” praised one reviewer. “Especially in winter, the skin around your nails and fingertips will crack and bleed. It’s really painful and disgusting! This thing works miracles. It feels waxy, like it’s holding in moisture. I put it on at night and can still tell it’s on in the morning. I am now a regular buyer/user and I couldn’t be happier!”
