Why it works

What this formula actually does

Built around urea (keratolytic) + glycerin + hyaluronic complex and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.

01

Softens callus with urea

Urea loosens hardened heel and callus skin while pulling in moisture, so feet smooth out without a peel.

02

Deep, lasting moisture

Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, royal jelly, propolis and grape-seed oil hydrate dry, rough feet and lock it in.

03

Top-ranked, cooling finish

A #2-ranked foot cream on Hwahae and 2023 Hwahae award winner with a cooling menthol-camphor finish; good on elbows and knees too.

Our take

Most foot fixes mean a stinging acid sock or a filing tool. This one softens hardened heels and callus the gentler way, urea to loosen thick skin while a big moisture complex of glycerin, hyaluronic acid, royal jelly and propolis hydrates, finished with a cooling menthol-camphor tingle. Best for dry, cracked heels and rough callus that you want softened and moisturized daily; it works gradually, not as a peel, and it carries colorants. Reviewers say it beats their pharmacy urea cream, which is why it ranks #2 on Hwahae.

Worth knowing

  • Gradual, not a peelIt softens hard skin over time rather than shedding it in one go, so it is not an acid peel or a filing tool.
  • Colorants and a cooling tingleIt contains menthol, camphor and two synthetic colorants (one screens higher-risk), and comes in a scoop-type jar.
