Feelings For Foot Cream
Purple Rules says: I’ve used the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Foot cream for a week. It’s a thick glycerin-based cream so it creates an effective barrier that locks in moisture and is recommended for dry heals and calluses. I buff my feet regularly so there isn’t a lot of dry, cracked skin to prevent this from being absorbed but it still took some work to rub it in and I was still aware of the residue on the surface. (One of the listed benefits is that it “does not stain socks;” I can see how that might be an issue.) It also contains Menthol but my nose and feet couldn’t detect it.
After a week, my feet were no better and no worse so I’d say it’s a good, basic foot cream that will keep your feet soft and moisturized if you take the time to remove the rough, dead skin first but it’s no substitute for a good foot file and some elbow grease. It doesn’t contain anything that would penetrate a layer of thick, dead skin so if you’ve got dry, rough feet I would expect it to sit on the surface and feel greasy. If you use it regularly and take a minute to rub it in, it will improve the condition of your feet and may even make them look better but if you want sandal-ready feet that look like you just got a pedicure, you’ll need to put a little more effort into it.

Nicely Done! I didn’t think there was ACTUALLY such a thing as Elbow Grease! lol

It’s already dry hand and foot cream season here and I’ve considered buying this in the past. It’s good to read your review on it. Thanks!

I use their hand cream, and it’s the best thing ever for dry hands! I carry it around in my purse and slather it on a few times a day, and I am obsessed with it. I haven’t tried the Foot Cream yet. I just bought their Body Moisturizer, but I’m not sure about the fragrance. Otherwise it’s good.

Neutrogena Norwegian foot cream doesn’t work any better or worse than any other foot cream I’ve tried. I live in a very dry desert town and wear sandels (bare footed) at least 9 months out of the year. My heels get terribly dry and cracked and scaly and just nasty. I’ve tried every foot cream on the planet, from very expensive to drugstore cheap. I have invested in pumice stones and foot files and even those microplane graters. After years, I have found what works — Kerasal foot ointment. Found in the drugstore for about $12 a tube, with all the other foot stuff (Dr. Scholls, athlete’s foot powder, etc.) I use it nightly, just a bit, and my heels are lovely and soft. It’s got some sort of chemical exfoliant (AHA?) plus Urea for moisturizing. It’s amazing stuff.

As a Norwegian myself, I think it is hilarious that Neutrogena uses my nationality as a marketing ploy. I have used some of the products and I have not found them especially good.

Thank you for the great reviews. I have used the hand formula with some success. As a health care worker, I have to wash my hands at least 50-60 times a day, so you can fill in the blanks there…and while I am washing, I am standing up for 12-14 hours a day. I just went to the podiatrist, and this is what I wanted to share…he recommended getting a dremel tool, model 770, cordless, and use the sanding bar (which is the one that is a little hollow tube of sandpaper, the fine grit one), and use the tool, making sure that you move around. It works really well in minutes to get rid of calluses on soles of unhappy feet. You have to be careful, but it really does work.
Karen Says:
Homedics sells electric file kits. You can find them at Target, Ulta, etc.. I use one myself and find the different attachments work really well to take off areas of my feet that start to get rough. I’ve never worried about injuring myself, either, so they seem to be safe. Combine the regular use of one with a good foot cream and you’re feet will feel great.
Thanks for the good information, Purple Rules!
