Flexitol

Flexitol is a clinically developed range of intensive skincare treatments formulated to repair cracked heels, soften dry skin and restore hydration to areas affected by severe dryness. Customers looking to buy Flexitol online typically need targeted moisturising solutions for feet, elbows, hands and skin affected by eczema or diabetes. The Welzo Flexitol collection includes heel balms, hard-skin removers, hand creams and targeted urea-based treatments designed for fast and effective results.

What is Flexitol?

Flexitol is a dermatology-led brand specialising in urea-rich, high-potency formulations for severe dry skin and cracked heels. First introduced in Australia and now used globally, Flexitol is widely recommended by podiatrists, dermatologists and diabetes nurses due to its clinically proven ability to rehydrate and repair damaged skin. The range is particularly effective for those with chronic dryness linked to environmental factors, footwear pressure, eczema or diabetic skin sensitivity.

Benefits and Features of the Welzo Flexitol Collection

• High-strength urea formulation: Softens thick, dry and hardened skin.
• Ideal for cracked heels and feet: Proven results in as little as 1–3 days of use.
• Suitable for diabetics: Developed to improve skin integrity in vulnerable users.
• Dermatologically tested: Safe for sensitive skin and clinically validated.
• Deep moisturising action: Restores hydration to extremely dry or rough areas.
• Wide range of targeted products: Includes heel balms, hard-skin creams, hand balms and rapid-repair formulas.

Why is Flexitol Important?

Severe dry skin is more than a cosmetic concern—it can lead to discomfort, cracking, infection and reduced mobility. Flexitol provides powerful hydration to restore skin barrier function and improve softness and elasticity. People who frequently use hard skin removal treatments, or those with chronic dryness linked to eczema, often rely on Flexitol for long-term care.

Flexitol heel balms are also highly valued by individuals with diabetes, where maintaining skin integrity is essential to preventing complications.

How to Use Flexitol Products

• Heel Balm: Apply twice daily until desired results are achieved; reduce to once daily for maintenance.
• Hard Skin & Callus Cream: Massage into thickened areas such as heels or elbows.
• Hand Balm: Use regularly to treat cracked knuckles and dry hands.
• Lip Balm: Apply to restore moisture to severely dry or chapped lips.

For enhanced results, customers often pair Flexitol with soothing products from body skincare or repair-focused options within moisturisers.
