How does Heel Magic work to treat dry cracked heels?

According to Dr. Michelle Wong, the key to treating rough, cracked skin lies in hydration and exfoliation. Heel Magic is scientifically formulated to deliver both.

Key Ingredient: 9% Urea

The magic starts with 9% urea, which is one of the most effective ingredients for both exfoliating and hydrating dry, cracked skin. Urea breaks down tough, hardened skin, gently exfoliating without irritation. It also adds moisture, making it an essential ingredient for keeping your feet soft and smooth.

Hydration Lockdown with Occlusives

The addition of occlusive ingredients like petrolatum, lanolin and beeswax help to lock moisture into the skin, preventing dehydration. By sealing in hydration, they give your feet the ongoing care they need to stay soft and smooth all day long.

Emollients for Skin Flexibility

To make sure your skin stays supple and comfortable, emollients like shea butter and olive oil have been included in the formula. These ingredients help keep the skin from becoming too dry and stiff, ensuring that your feet remain hydrated and soft, which helps prevent further cracks and discomfort.

Heel Magic is convenient and effective

Dermal Therapy Heel Magic has a no-mess applicator. This makes it easy to apply without getting your hands sticky, which is perfect for people with mobility or dexterity challenges.

Heel Magic has been designed to be travel-friendly and compact, so it’s easy to carry in your bag or keep with you wherever you go. Plus, the mild fragrance makes it ideal for those who prefer subtle scents in their skincare.

Clinically Tested and Proven to Work in Less Than Three Days

Dermal Therapy Heel Magic has been clinically tested and shown to provide visible results in just three days of regular use. Whether you have dry, cracked heels or rough skin on your feet, Heel Magic works quickly and effectively to help repair and restore your skin.
