Review: Aiken Intensive Care- cracked heel cream

I've never had cracked heel but out of sudden my feet turn-out so bad with cracks..

Googling for the cause of cracked heel, i found that it might be due to dry and lack of moisture on the heel area..

I've seen Aiken at local supermarkets but had neva bought one but due to my condition i purchased a small tube..

The product claims:

  • provide immediate comfort for painful cracked skin
  • strengthen the epidermal lipid layer by sealin in moisture 
  • keep skin hydrated 
Direction: Massage onto clean heels 2-3 times daily

This is how i do it:

  1. Soak my feet in a pail containing warm water and salt ( this is to soften the heel ans salt acts as antimicrobial agent)
  2. Use a pumic stone to remove the dead skins ( do this by rubbing ur feet with the stone)- dont have to be harsh on it, u can just do it gently
  3. dry heel with clean towel
  4. apply Aiken cream
My verdict on this product:

  • im not a big fan of its smell-- it smells abit of menthol
  • doesnt irritate the skin
  • a lil bit sticky
  • takes time to dry and absorb into skin
  • will definitely purchase again ( if in need)
