'The best foot creams also contain chemical exfoliants — lactic acid, urea, salicylic acid — that loosen the bonds between ossified dead skin cells, allowing them to gently slough away'
Doesn’t look like much, but it works wonders. Photo: Retailer As temperatures climb and we enter the season of exposed feet, we’re here to help, with all the best tricks for keeping your feet presentable, as well as comfortable. While this week happens to be the start of Fleet Week, we’re doing our own take as summer begins. Welcome to Feet Week on the Strategist.
Almost a decade as a beauty editor has confirmed for me that, happily, dermatologists and most nail aestheticians are on my side. The single most important ingredient in an effective foot cream isn’t anything cooling, anti-bacterial, or anti-inflammatory. Besides heavy-duty hydrators, the best foot creams also contain chemical exfoliants — lactic acid, urea, salicylic acid — that loosen the bonds between ossified dead skin cells, allowing them to gently slough away.
The company confirms that CeraVe also sells the exact same formulation in a squeezy tube, Renewing SA Foot Cream, which is easier to apply to the feet. But because rubbing anything labeled “foot” anywhere above the ankle reminds me of that scene in Amélie where the villainous grocer unknowingly brushes his teeth with crème pour les pieds, I’d recommend the tub, which I’ll dip into to quench dry knees, elbows, or even occasional patches of eczema on my eyelids.
