Results vary with severity and consistency.
Dry and cracked feet
The skin on your soles is much thicker than elsewhere and has no oil glands. That’s why feet dry out fast and regular body lotion often isn’t enough. Without care, dry skin can turn into painful cracks.
A dedicated foot balm or cream, used daily, keeps the skin soft and strong. For extra results, use it after a foot soak or foot file.

Deep heel cracks are a break in the skin barrier, not just rough skin. This is built for that, not a basic moisturizer stretched to cover it.
Main causes include:
When the skin becomes too dry or thick, it loses flexibility and cracks under the weight of the body. This is often the result of underlying issues; for a deeper understanding, you can read more about dry skin causes and treatment.
When heel fissures develop, standard moisturisers are often insufficient. The depth of the crack requires an occlusive, skin-barrier sealing formula like the Foot Fissure Cream to penetrate and repair the damaged layers.
This specialist formula is intended for people with persistent, recurring heel cracks that have not improved with standard foot creams, including those with dry skin associated with eczema or psoriasis. Anyone with diabetes, bleeding fissures, pain when walking, or cracks lasting several weeks should seek medical advice before use. Professional pedicurists should refer clients with severe or open fissures for medical assessment before salon treatment.
Step 01
Clean and dry feet thoroughly before application.
Step 02
Apply a small amount of balm directly to cracked heels and affected areas.
Step 03
Massage gently until fully absorbed.
Step 04
Use twice daily, morning and evening.
Step 05
For enhanced results, wear cotton socks overnight to lock in moisture.
Step 06
For best results, use the Stainless Steel Foot File to remove softened dead skin around the fissure BEFORE applying the cream.
Apply a generous amount to the clean crack, cover with a plaster or bandage, and leave overnight. The occlusive environment dramatically increases penetration and healing speed. This is the method used by podiatrists for severe fissures.
Standard foot creams are designed for maintenance. Heel fissures are a wound. A physical break in the skin barrier. They need a formula that seals the crack, delivers deep moisture into damaged layers, reduces inflammation, and supports skin cell repair.
| Active | Why It Works on Deep Cracked Heels |
|---|---|
| Lanolin (Wool Fat) | One of the most effective occlusive ingredients in skin care. Seals the crack while allowing skin to breathe and heal from within. Used in medical wound care for decades. |
| Zinc Oxide | Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and wound-healing. Reduces redness, creates a protective coating over exposed tissue, used in medical formulations for skin barrier repair. |
| Petrolatum | Occlusive seal that prevents moisture loss from the crack, keeping damaged tissue hydrated so it can repair. The gold standard in dermatological occlusive therapy. |

Lanolin + Zinc Oxide + Petrolatum. The combination used in professional wound care for deep skin barrier repair.
Noticeable improvement in crack depth and pain within days of twice-daily use.
Structurally similar to skin's own sebum. It penetrates and nourishes compromised skin layers.
Stimulates blood flow in the heel, supporting the skin's natural repair process.
Antifungal and antibacterial. Open heel fissures are vulnerable entry points for infection.
Creates a wound-care environment that concentrates the cream's healing action.
A small amount per application is sufficient. This is a specialist, concentrated fissure treatment not a general balm. One tube provides several weeks of twice-daily targeted use at the same price as daily-use balms.
Safe for regular use on diabetic skin. Treat heel fissures early. Diabetics are at higher risk from complications.
With regular use, many users experience visible improvement in the appearance and feel of their feet within just a few days. Cracks and fissures begin to heal, discomfort is reduced, and skin becomes noticeably softer and smoother. Long-term use helps maintain healthy, moisturized skin and prevents future fissure development.
Pain from the crack reduces. Lanolin and Petrolatum begin sealing and protecting the fissure.
Visible healing at crack edges. Gap begins to narrow. Surrounding skin softer and more flexible.
Deep fissures significantly reduced or closed. Heel noticeably smoother.
Switch to Urea Foot Balm daily once healed. Prevention is easier than treatment.
Every question you were too embarrassed to ask.
Most users see visible improvement within 3–5 days of twice-daily application. For very deep or long-established fissures, expect 1–2 weeks for significant improvement. The bandage method: applying the cream and covering with a plaster overnight. It significantly accelerates healing for severe cases.
Yes. Foot Fissure Cream is diabetic friendly and regularly recommended by foot care professionals for diabetic heel care. Diabetics are at higher risk from heel fissures. Reduced circulation slows healing and open cracks create infection pathways. Treat early and consistently. Consult your doctor if fissures are deep, infected, or not improving after two weeks.
Foot Fissure Cream is a specialist treatment for active, painful heel fissures. Lanolin, Zinc Oxide, and Petrolatum seal and repair deep cracks. The Urea Foot Balm is a daily preventive moisturiser that softens thickened skin and prevents calluses. Use Fissure Cream to heal active cracks, then switch to Urea Foot Balm daily to prevent them returning.
Always before. Use the Stainless Steel Foot File to remove hardened dead skin around the fissure. This layer prevents the crack from closing. Apply the cream after filing so it penetrates directly into fresh skin. Never file open or bleeding cracks.
Because this is a concentrated specialist formula. A small amount per application is sufficient for targeted healing action. Lanolin, Zinc Oxide, and Petrolatum are highly concentrated actives that do not need to be applied over the whole foot. One 75ml tube provides several weeks of twice-daily fissure treatment.
