My heels were cracked and painful. Also it was extending to the soles of my feet. I got this product and within 2 days everything was basically healed. The cracks took a bit longer to mend. I use this religiously every night. It absorbs so no need for socks. It had a very pleasant odor and is NOT greasy. It absorbs pretty fast. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Evidently this product is not being sold in pharmacies anymore so get it online.
