What the gurus are saying

The urea and salicylic acid combination breaks up calluses and cracked heels with noticeable speed, earning praise from experts for its fast, instant results. The ointment base keeps these actives working on skin longer than creams do. Since the formula is potent, using it just once or twice a week is enough; more frequent use can over-soften skin and potentially cause blisters.

"But I'm a big fan of Eucerin foot ointment. It has urea and salicylic acid keratolytics that get in there and dissolve all that dry rough stuff, help hydrate the skin, and it also provides some lubrication as well."

"This is an ointment with urea and salicylic acid. Keratolytic, great for rough callus. It is also excellent for your toenails and it can be helpful in clearing up toenail fungus treatments as an adjunct. [...] And I love that it is an ointment. Ointments have better longevity on the skin. They stay on the skin better. [...] This is pretty robust as far as its keratolytic effect, probably because it's in an ointment with enhanced penetration and better longevity on the skin. If you don't have a ton of callus, I only suggest using this one or two times a week because it is so intense that over time you will end up with so little callous on your feet, really baby smooth, that if you do a lot of walking or running, you will start to get blisters. I only use it myself a couple of times a week, one to two max. But if you're really looking down at your feet thinking you've neglected them this winter and you're thinking about getting a pedicure, choose this instead. It's a little pricey at baseline, but you don't need very much to create a thin film, and it's effective."
Dermatologist Reviews the Most Purchased Skincare of 2025
"I have been using this since long before I started on this channel, and I've pretty much been recommending it since day one. This one is one of the most popular year after year after year for good reason. It is an ointment, petroleum jelly based. This throws in salicylic acid and urea and a petroleum jelly ointment that may enhance the potency of those ingredients by improving their longevity on the skin and enhancing their penetration into that thick stratum corneum, which is why this product is so wonderful for exfoliating dry, rough callus. It's also wonderful for rejuvenating the look of your toenails, the skin around your toenails. When you first start using it, if you have neglected your feet for some time, you can use it every single night at the end of the day for about a week. I suggest putting it on after a shower to towel dried feet, cover with socks. That way, it doesn't rub off all over the floor. It stays on your feet."

"The game-changing product for that is Eucerin Intensive Foot Repair Ointment. This is a urea and salicylic acid potent ointment that gets in there and really breaks up that buildup, dry, rough skin. Those cracked heels will just be smoothed out. And it's in a petroleum jelly base, so it has good longevity on the skin. Apply it to the feet after a shower. Just apply the ointment and cover with socks to really allow it to stay on the skin and not rub off all over the floor. It really works well. It's also great for your nails as well, the urea in particular. The petroleum jelly also helps with the skin around the nails to limit access of moisture up under the nails, cutting down on brittleness. So, really wonderful. One pointer with this though, it is intensive. So, it's fine to use it every night for like a week or so, but after a while, I suggest using it just one maybe two nights a week because I find if you use it nightly and for long stretches of the time, at least for me, I end up getting blisters because, you know, with walking a lot."

"I love this stuff. When we're thinking about the treatment of dry skin and using moisturizers we really want to incorporate products that have emollient so things that are going to soften the skin, humectant things that are going to draw water to the skin, and occlusive things that are going to trap water against the skin and this Eucerin foot cream has all of those. This is probably the fastest working foot cream that I recommend and it just gives such instant results that I find that patients are very compliant with it because they use it for one or two nights and they're like oh I get it."
