Designed for targeted use rather than all-over face care, the formula is especially suited to stubborn patches of dry skin that need both hydration and surface renewal. Use after cleansing and light exfoliation for best results, and wear socks or cover treated areas overnight to lock in moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cream improve very dry, cracked heels?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula pairs deep emollients with salicylic acid to help loosen and smooth thickened skin while delivering lasting moisture.
