GHI Best Foot Creams

Your feet carry your entire body around all day, every day, which can take a huge toll on them. Whether you're walking around in cramped shoes, sandals that expose your skin, or (ouch!) barefoot, one of the results is skin dryness and even cracking and calluses, especially in the heel area where dead skin cells tend to build up.

Since the skin on the feet is thicker than that on other areas of the body, you'll need a specialized foot cream to soften and heal cracked heels and very dry, hard patches. Foot creams are made with heavier, richer textures than face creams or body lotions, and they also boast exfoliating ingredients that help slough away tough dry patches, explains Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab senior chemist Sabina Wizemann.

To silken rough feet quickly, slather on a thick layer of foot cream at night before bed, then slip on a pair of socks to seal in the moisture overnight and smooth skin as you sleep. These are the best foot creams and treatments to soften very dry, cracked feet, according to GH Beauty Lab experts and reviewers:

Best Foot Cream for Hard, Dry Skin

Coconut Foot Cream
Burt's Bees walmart.com

$8.22

This heavy-duty Burt's Bees foot salve, a GH beauty editor favorite for over a decade, is based on a plethora of nourishing botanical oils including olive, coconut, oat, and soybean for deep nourishment. It immediately softens tough skin and dry patches when massaged into skin or worn with socks. Even better? The balm smells like warm, sweet coconut — an escape for worn-out feet (and senses).

Best Value Foot Cream

Shea Enriched Foot Cream
Dr Teal's walmart.com

$3.97

At under $4, this Dr. Teal's foot cream is loaded with high-quality hydrating ingredients like skin-repairing fatty acids and softening shea butter. And it really works: "My husband uses this cream for his diabetic feet," a reviewer said. "I buy two at a time — it works on his dry, cracked, and painful skin."

Best Foot Cream for Cracked Heels

Healthy Feet Foot Cream
O'Keeffe's amazon.com

$7.29

Small pot, big benefits: This O'Keeffe's formula, packed with skin-replenishing fatty acids and conditioning paraffin, is the top-rated foot cream on Amazon. It's racked up over 11,000 reviews, including insane photos of users' heels before and after treatment with the cream. "My feet have been cracked non-stop for probably the last 10 years— I've tried literally everything and was incredibly embarrassed by them," one reviewer reported. "After 4+ weeks my feet have never been better...there are zero cracks."

Best Exfoliating Foot Cream

Heels & Feet Moisturizer Plus Gentle Exfoliator
Arm & Hammer amazon.com

$9.87

A novel moisturizer plus exfoliator hybrid, Arm & Hammer's formula gets rid of rough, flaky foot skin with glycolic acid to help turn over dead skin cells and a hands-free massaging brush applicator to further smooth. "The little soft scrubbing nubs help get the cream into any cracks around your heel and feel great," one Amazon reviewer said.

Best Foot Cream for Tired, Aching Feet

$24.00

Take a load off fatigued feet thanks to Aveda's cream, which refreshes with cooling menthol and mint, plus a laundry list of other plant oils and extracts (castor, jojoba, rosemary, lavender, sunflower, tea tree, apple, green tea, willow bark, orange, and more!). It's top-rated at Nordstrom with almost 1,000 reviews for a reason: "I can’t say how much I love this foot cream!" one reviewer enthused. "It literally feels like my feet can breathe after using it! You really can tell a difference in just one use. My feet feel spa fresh."

Slip the socks on before bed or wear them around the house for a mini foot treatment as you work or lounge! "I love that these allow you to soften and treat your feet without any mess or extra steps in your routine," GH's beauty editor says. They can be hand-washed and air-dried as needed, too

Gently slough away rough patches on feet with AmLactin's fragrance-free cream laced with lactic acid, an AHA exfoliant that works to increase cell turnover to slough off hard, dead skin and leave you with soft, silky skin. One Dermstore reviewer says: "This stuff is amazing! It will make even the worst feet super soft in just a few days," a reviewer said. "I put it on ... and wake up with feet that feel softer than they do after a pedicure."
