Hard skin, also known as callused skin, typically builds up on pressure points such as the heels, balls of the feet, and toes. It’s caused by repeated friction, pressure, or dryness, and if left untreated, it can lead to discomfort, cracking, and infection.
Effective hard skin treatments use ingredients such as urea (to deeply hydrate and break down thickened skin), salicylic acid (to exfoliate dead cells), and lactic acid (to encourage healthy skin turnover). Tools such as electronic foot files, callus scrapers, and pumice-based creams are also commonly used to speed up removal.
For those experiencing related conditions like corns or bunions, the Corns, Callouses & Bunion Treatments collection offers targeted support. And if fungal infections or odour accompany dry, cracked skin, we also recommend exploring our Daktarin and Odor-Eaters ranges.
