Best Foot Cream for Cracked Heels (Our Pro Pick)

Let’s be real—if foot cream actually worked the way the packaging promised, you wouldn’t still have cracked heels. Most creams are full of nice scents and not much else. But if you’re dealing with dry, splitting heels that feel rough or painful, you need something backed by science, not just marketing.


At Nail Creative Co., we work with feet all day long. Our clients often arrive frustrated—having tried everything from supermarket creams to DIY hacks—and nothing has helped.

So here’s our expert take on what actually works.


🏆 Our Top Pick: Urea-Based Foot Cream

If we could only recommend one thing for cracked heels, it’s this: a urea-based foot cream—specifically, a formula with 20–40% urea.


Why urea? It’s a powerful humectant that draws in moisture and gently exfoliates at the same time. Think of it as a dual-action hero that softens dead skin and helps it release without scrubbing or sanding.


Our Favourites!!


There are two standout choices we often recommend to clients: Footlogix Cracked Heel Formula and Spirularin Cracked Heel Cream (Warming or cooling)


1. Footlogix Cracked Heel Formula

  • Urea content: 25%

  • Texture: Mousse, non-greasy, fast absorbing

  • Why we love it: We love the fact that this product is carried past the top layer of the skin and into the deeper layers helping to restore the skin. A little goes a long way because it is a mousse and its absorbed fast.


2. Spirularin Cracked Heel Cream (Warming or cooling)

  • Urea content: 20%

  • Texture: Silky, medical-grade feel

  • Why we love it: 

  • Because we've literally seen what this foot cream can do in one night. Its fast acting because of its cell-regenerative properties of Spiralin that restores the skins natural protection barrier.


How to Use It (Pro Tips from Our Clinic)

Want better results faster? Here’s how we recommend using your cream:

  1. For acute care apply morning and at night but for maintenance daily.

  2. Use a pea-sized amount per heel—a little goes a long way.

  3. Massage it in fully—this helps stimulate circulation too.


🧴 Bonus Tip: Use a foot file once a week, not daily. Over-filing can make the skin grow back harder and thicker.


👣 Ready for Real Change?

Creams can help, but if you’ve had cracked heels for more than 3 months, chances are you need more than just hydration—you need a professional reset.

That’s exactly what our Medi Pedi is designed for:


✔️ Clinical-grade exfoliation

✔️ Callus and crack reduction

✔️ Medical tools (no cheese graters in sight)

✔️ Ongoing care plan to keep heels smooth for good


💬 Let’s Fix Your Feet for Good

Book a Medi Pedi with us today, and walk out with results you can feel—and feet you won’t want to hide. You’ll never leave with the same feet you walked in with.
