Original Foot Peel

I've heard about these for years and put off buying one because I generally have somewhat sensitive skin and was worried that it would dissolve my body from the ankles down. I hate feet, hate them, so I am really lazy about giving myself pedicures and have never had a professional one done because the only thing worse than touching my own feet is letting someone else touch them. Feet. Eew. *shudder* Needless to say, my feet were in horrible shape. I have hard, calloused spots on the sides of my feet, bad heels and pads, arches that need exfoliation, and just dry ugly skin every where. These arrived on a Thursday and I just couldn't wait to try them. - The packaging says to soak your feet first to better results. I didn't bother. I had just showered, so my feet were still somewhat soft from that, so I just rewashed them and jumped into it. Hindsight, I would've soaked them for 20 minutes in a epsom salt bath. Not sure if it would actually help, but it would be worth testing next time. - The instructions recommend putting socks over the booties while they work. I did this, because I figured if it helps my hairmasks to have a shower cap on, it can't hurt here. Warmth helps things soak into the skin better. It also helped the liquid to settle next to my skin better. I felt like, without the socks, my feet just swam around in the booties. - I found the liquid annoying to wash off at the end. I washed from the knees down, just to make sure I didn't miss anything and still had to go back and wash my ankles again when they were sticky from residue. I used my daughter's baby shampoo to get my skin clean, I think that a moisturizing body wash would have troubles. Maybe use shampoo if you don't keep baby shampoo/bodywash around the house. - I wear socks in the daytime, but hate sleeping with them, so I went sockless for that night and the next. Since I had showered just before using them on Thursday, I didn't bother showering Friday. Saturday, I plugged the tub and let it fill to my ankles while I showered, draining it at the end so that my feet could get a mini soak. Saturday night, I noticed my skin near my big toe looked like it wanted to start peeling, so I started wearing socks to sleep so it wouldn't make a mess (something other reviewers complain about but the instructions even advise). It was worse Sunday night. Monday morning when I showered, it was the weirdest feeling. Stepping out, the skin on my arches had bubbled out and was barely holding on. It was so satisfying to pull it away. - My skin continued to peel quite well until that following Thursday (a week after application) when it slowed significantly. My feet were rather tender, and the skin around my ankles, toes, and the tops of my feet still needed to peel. I continued to soak my feet in the shower, but they stopped peeling, even though they needed to. TIPS FOR USE - Wiggle your toes while wearing the booties. It helps make sure it's all between your toes so they peel better. - Wear socks. You probably won't need them the first night or two, but afterwards, start wearing them. You will peel every where. Turn them inside out and give them a good shake over a trash bin before washing them, because it's seriously icky. - Soak your feet daily. It really helps you remove the skin faster. A 20 mins epsom salt bath will be the best, but it's not needed. Just filling the tub with water to my ankles while I showered was enough. - It can take 3-7 days before you start seeing even the beginnings of peeling. My sister did this the same time as me and she didn't start even the tiniest bit of peeling until late in the 7th day. Afterwards, it can take up to 2 weeks to fully peel. - Once the biggest bit of the peeling has finished and your feet no longer feel tender from the new skin, exfoliate. Exfoliating gloves are like $5 a pair, they exfoliate well and work without pressure that could damage your skin. - Consider switching from lotion to oil while peeling. I usually use a foot cream at night because it's about all I can handle touching my feet. I tried cream one night and I hated how it felt. Switched to body oil and it helped me moisturize the newly exposed skin and didn't feel as icky. I think the oil also helped soften the skin as it was peeling. - This can only remove so much skin at a time. It's not going to work miracles. If your feet are in horrendous shape, be prepared to need anywhere between 1-4 applications. Mine were in horrible shape and I think I will need to do this twice, maybe three times. The instructions say you can do this every two weeks after the first application, but I don't think I recommend that. Maybe if you have skin of steel that can handle anything, but considering that bits are still peeling by the second week, I would skip it. I'm at like 18 days past application and I feel comfortable ordering another, but probably won't use it for another week or two. I think once a month will be my winning ticket. I am so happy I tried this. Such an amazing product!

I rarely get salon pedicures as I just don't feel like it's worth the money. I can paint my own toenails without much trouble, for much cheaper than they charge at the salon. But I do have callused feet - I LOVE going barefoot, is one big problem - and I don't have the time or patience to sit and pumice my calluses for hours on end. So when I saw this advertised, I thought - what the heck; it's less than the cost of a pedicure and if it works, great. My process went like this - I did the peel last Sunday: Day 1 - do the peel. As other people have mentioned, I soaked my feet first and per the package recommendations, put socks on over the peel bags while I waited the hour for the peel to be done. I was worried it was going to burn or sting - I felt nothing, other than an occasional tingle. The peels I have used on my face, by contrast, were much more uncomfortable. (DO NOT even think about using this product on your face or anywhere but your feet, BTW. Based on the level of peeling I experienced on my feet, I do not think you would have a face left if you put this on your face.) Day 2 - nothing happens. I soak my feet again as people have suggested. Day 3- still nothing. Is this thing really going to work? Day 4 - HOLY CANNOLI, my feet start peeling like crazy. There are huge bubbles of dead skin all over the soles of my feet as the dead skin starts to lift. Day 5-Day 6 - CRAZY peeling, my feet are shedding skin like crazy. Almost to the point where it becomes bothersome having to pick up little bits of skin that come off if I walk around without socks. Day 7 - most of the peeling is done (I will confess, I used a foot brush on my feet GENTLY last night in the bath to try to get some of the smaller dead-skin pieces off, and it worked well). But there are still places where dead skin is lifting, and I'm pretty sure I'll keep peeling a little for a few more days. My feet are incredibly soft and smooth now. One thing I am really happy about is that I had a lot of dead skin on the ends of my toes that I couldn't seem to do much about - pumice didn't really help, nor did a lot of moisturizing. The other day I sat in the bathtub and with very little effort, peeled the dead skin off the tops of my toes in coin-size patches. I have never had a pedicure or home treatment that was able to get rid of the dead skin that effectively. Here are a few words to the wise: - Peeling is supposed to start on Day 3. Plan to wear socks day 3-7, if you don't want to leave a trail of dead skin behind you at work or at home. I wore socks 24/7, even to bed, during the heaviest peeling days. - Turn the socks you wear INSIDE OUT to wash them and wash them separately. Trust me, when you see the dead skin that has come off in your socks, you will understand this advice. - Make sure you're giving yourself enough time if you're doing this before a big event. My feet are still peeling a little, seven days later. If you're doing the peel before a wedding, dance, etc. I would give yourself 10 days minimum; two weeks to be safe. - I do think it helped to soak my feet every night in the bath and also to put some lotion on so my feet didn't get overly dry. The lotion didn't seem to affect the peeling one bit. - If you have cracked heels (I do) you'll see some improvement, but the cracks don't totally disappear; at least that's my experience. I had a crusty ridge of dead skin on the inside side of both heels that is completely gone, though, so I don't think my feet will be as likely to crack in the future. - You will have to be careful about your shoes after the peeling is mostly complete. Shoes that rub aren't going to cut it. Remember, you have a much thinner layer of skin on your feet than you used to. Be kind to your feet; wear shoes that don't pinch or rub and carry some blister bandages with you just in case. I have had horrible calluses, dry skin, cracked heels, etc. on my feet for more years than I can count. And now my feet look - well - like baby's feet! I will be doing this again in three months - spring is here, summer is coming, and usually by mid-June my feet are pretty rough. Grateful for this product!

I have NEVER had soft feet in my life... and Baby Foot gave them to me! Used on 2/1/16: I read several, several of these reviews and decided I needed to give Baby Foot a try, with all the success several purchasers were having. After reading these reviews and the instructions of Baby Foot, here was my method and my results. I soaked my feet for 30 mins in plain water prior to stepping into the Booties (as the instructions say and many purchasers have suggested). The Booties are quite goopy, so be careful pulling them open! The instructions recommend putting on a pair of socks over the Booties for safety reasons. I was very surprised that zero purchasers did not mention doing this. I didn't have to use the tape to awkwardly place them, the socks kept them on tight AND I could walk around my room. They were tight against my feet and I left the Booties on for one hour. Removed them and washed my feet with soap and soaked my feet again for 30 minutes in plain water. After the last soak, the tops of my soles were already peeling. I dried my feet and wore socks to bed. So the next day, (Day 1), I put on new socks and went to work. After arriving home, I took my socks off and noticed the dead skin on my feet had dried out and was a little flaky. I soaked my feet for 45 minutes and began to see peeling around my big toes. The calluses on the sides of my big toes became very soft and began to peel a little as well. Day 2: 45 minute soak in plain water. Pinkie toes begin to turn white and shed dead skin. Day 4: 45 minute soak in plain water. Peeling begin to happen all over foot, tops of feet and toes especially. Day 5: 35 min soak in plain water. Used lava rock to encourage shedding, feet beginning to peel more dramatically now. Lava rock removes mostly mushy callus from heels, toes, and sides of feet. Day 6: Feet visibly peeling without soaking in water. The skin underneath is finally beginning to feel "baby soft." Day 8: Soak in plain water for 35 minutes. Peeling is mostly finished, but still have some places left on sides of heel, toes, and tops of soles. I did not have as dramatic foot peeling as most of these pictures lead you to believe you will have. I will have to use this product at least once, maybe twice, more to achieve these dramatic foot peel pictures. However, the first use did remove quite a bit of dead skin - even in places I didn't know I had dead skin. It also significantly softened my heels, my big toes and pinkie toes. Also, most of my dead skin came off during foot soaks. I highly, highly, cannot stress enough, highly reccomend soaking your feet daily during the first week after applying the Booties... Especially if you think you are not shedding as much as you should. Great product. Great especially for people with problematic hard foot skin. It'll take a few treatments, but entirely worth it. Update 2/11: 10 days after use and my feet are BABY SOFT! Still some mild peeling but am so very pleased with the end result. I have NEVER had soft feet in my life!

IT WORKS! To get any dead skin off of your feet this works. Skin will feel soft and renewed.

It works quick and does what it is supposed to do. I have extremely dry cracked feet. My only complaint is that the price went up.

This is the REAL DEAL! I I have used a foot peel similar to this a while back (by Lea Louise). It consisted of plastic "booties" that contained a thin gel-like substance (the "peel" solution). This BabyFoot brand was almost identical. My first go-around using a peel consisted of me soaking my feet in a foot bath for 30 mins prior to wearing the booties. I put socks over the booties so the gel would come in direct contact with my feet. After the Lea Louise peel - which I left on for 1 hour, I soaked my feet every night for 20 minutes. After a week or so, I experienced a very minimal peel - NO way near what some of the reviews stated. My feet did smell great for weeks after though - the lavender scent somehow embeds itself into the skin and remains for a while. Interesting side note: the Lea Louise peel was a 2-pack, so I convinced my husband to use the second peel even though for a guy who works on his feet in Chippawa work boots daily, his feet are already baby soft. He did soak his feet before putting the booties on, did not wear socks over the booties, and did not soak his feet nightly as I did. After a week or so, his feet were peeling like crazy. Go figure. Fast forward to my second attempt and using the real BabyFoot and not the knock-off brand: This time I did not soak my feet in the foot bath - but rather I just took a short bath prior. I but the booties on, and covered them with socks again. Be prepared for doing a little bit of nothing once the booties are on. I had a large towel on the floor underneath my feet and used an old pair of dark socks in case they wear ruined - which they were not. Even so, the gel may leak out a little when you are maneuvering your foot into the bootie - it did for me but the towel saved my hardwoods. I left the booties on for 1 1/2 hours - slightly longer than the suggested 1 hour. I then walked to the tub (be careful as walking with gel-filled booties is slippery, even with socks over them), took off the booties and rinsed off all of the gel. I did not soak my feet in any foot baths after the gel-contact time - the only time my feet got wet for the next week was during a daily shower. As a matter of fact, I barely paid much attention to my feet for the following week, aside from noticing the heels and sides of my feet appeared to be very dry and the top of my feet were kind of shiny. Then...on day 8 after the gel booties, my feet started to shed small sheets of skin. Tried as I did NOT to peel any of the falling-off skin, I did pull off a little, but not if it did not fall away easily. The next day (day 9), huge pieces of thin, dry skin was sloughing off - slightly disgusting yet a bit exhilarating as well. Today is day 10 and the peeling continues. When I get home from work, I toss off my clogs and socks and slide my naked, peeling feet into a pair of Crocs to allow my feet to get at the air. At this stage, my feet are at least half-peeled. The heels appear to be the last to go, and 2 stubborn calluses that I have on the balls of each of my feet - but those areas are starting to peel also. I am totally thrilled with this peel and it appears to be working it's magic. Perhaps all the nightly soaks that I did after the Lea Louise peel actually prevented the peel from working as it should have ...I don't really know. To be honest, my feet are in pretty decent shape to begin with - I take care of my heels with a pumice stone and use Blue Goo to keep them soft. Even so, after a harsh winter, my feet need a refresher and this BabyFoot peel is definitely doing the trick. I will always purchase this peel going forward and stay away from the knock-offs.

My intentions for buying this product were probably different than most people's. I saw that it looked absolutely disgusting and thought, "I need this." When the skin began to peel off my feet, I was actually shocked that my feet were soft underneath, only to realize that having soft feet were sorta the purpose of the product. So if you just want soft feet and are hoping that it won't be as gross as it looks, I want you to take a look at the five star review I'm leaving and reconsider your life choices. The callouses on my feet aren't terrible, but I am a college student who works retail for 20 hours per week, so I've built up a bit of skin just from the sheer amount of time I spend on my feet. The level of callousing on your feet seems to play a role in how well these work, so I'll say my feet are probably a bit worse than the average person's, but I'm no construction worker. The boot process itself was not what I expected. I don't know what I expected it to smell like, but it wasn't ginger and acid. It wasn't an unpleasant smell, but I was sorta expecting it to have a fragrance to it. I left the boots on for a solid two hours, wanting to make the most of my $20, and I can testify that you don't need to be worried about leaving these on for too long. However, nobody warned me that my feet would start to feel extremely warm. I was under the impression that they were going to tingle like I'd sat cross-legged on the ground for too long-- I was not expecting them to feel like I was dipping them in a hot tub. It wasn't unpleasant, but it was a little bit scary since I hadn't been expecting it. No worries there. If your feet start to feel warm, you're fine. I was also not warned that my feet would feel freezing after I took them off, no matter how many pairs of socks I put on. Also not dangerous. Just strange and vaguely ominous. I was kinda disappointed at first when the tops of my feet started to peel at the five day mark. They peeled similarly to how a sunburn would, not the Elmer's glue-like peeling the videos made me hope for. But then it got gross. I'll spare you the details, but it was everything the 11-year-old boy in me was dreaming of. It wasn't quite as gross as the videos suggested-- I think you'd have to not touch your feet or walk around at all for two weeks to get your feet to peel at that level. If you can resist the urge to peel away the skin until it turns white, do it. It's so much more satisfying. As pretty much everyone else pointed out, soaking your feet totally helps the process. There are a variety of ways to do this, but I stopped the water from draining whenever I took a shower. I soaked my feet in a plastic container a few times like a normal person would, but I'm not the type who likes to sit still. I wouldn't recommend soaking your feet in a hot tub after the peeling process has begun, because sitting in a pool full of your own dead skin sounds generally unpleasant to me. I think most people would agree. The only real downside to this was having to work retail during the process. Standing for too long made the bottoms of my feet burn, though my poor choice of shoes probably didn't help that. (Side note: Never work retail in rainboots. I have so many regrets.) All in all, I would definitely recommend this to any of you skin pickers or lovers of those zit popping videos on Youtube. If you have a weak stomach but want soft feet, I'd stick to pedicures. My feet are definitely softer than they were before, but I can't say I normally pay a whole lot of attention to how soft my feet are, so I can't tell you how dramatic the change is. All in all, I loved this product and would totally buy it again. It was incredibly satisfying.

. UPDATE: I eventually stopped using this product because, though the initial results were fantastic, my feet started developing new callouses at lightspeed. I have downgraded my rating of this product from 5 stars to 3. I now use an electric callous remover, one with a rough roller head, followed by lots of cream. I don't get the quick regrowth of callouses that way. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Five star product! I was a little afraid, after reading some of the reviews, when I received my order of Baby Foot. But not to worry! I will order this again. And again. And again. SIZE: I also received a package with Japanese writing on it. More importantly, at the top corner, it indicated it was a "size M." I wear a size 10 shoe (well, what can I say, I have a big heart, you know). One reviewer said she wears a size 9 and had trouble getting her foot into the bootie. NO WORRIES HERE! The booties are big enough for an American Size 10 Woman's foot, though you still have to be careful putting them on due to the amount of gel inside. PROCESS: I decided, also based on other reviews, to a) soak my feet for 15 minutes (which turned into 20 because I was catching up on phone calls) before putting on the booties and b) to soak in the booties for 2 hours, rather than the 30 minutes the box recommends. It's true that you should be very careful walking in the booties, since the insides are slippery and could make you lose your balance. Buyer beware! and use caution! I put some acrylic socks on over the booties, and also wore my rubber-soled sheepskin bedroom slippers over that, and this stabilized things somewhat. I still needed to step carefully, and so here I am, sitting for the next long stretch until I'm done "soaking." I think anyone using this product should plan to sit still with a good book or a laptop or TV while "soaking." After having the booties on for almost an hour, I felt a slight warmth or tingling in the outer part of my foot. Nothing to be concerned about. I did read the review that said the woman's box had gel with much less acid listed in the ingredients. Mine seems to be the original recipe, with glycolic acid listed as the fourth ingredient (after water, alcohol and isopropyl alcohol). Lactic acid is fifth, salicylic acid is further down the line, followed by citric acid and malic acid. Following those are the herbal ingredients that seem more soothing. The box I received says nothing about being "lavender scented," nor did I detect any scent remotely like lavender. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PRODUCT: I never had much problem with callouses on my feet until I reached a certain...ahem...age. Perhaps because my skin is not as moist as it used to be, or perhaps because I have fewer hormones, I have a greater problem keeping the callouses on my heels under control. My weapon of choice has been one of those paddles you buy at the drug store with the pumice-like surface in two levels of roughness. I used the higher level on my heels before showering, and always get a bunch of callous shavings off. Then I put cream on my feet. I have one frustrating area I can never get to sufficiently: an oval area in the center of the ball of my foot. The "pumice paddle" tool doesn't get to that area. I've also used a Dremel with a smoothing head, and, while that works, it doesn't get all of it. I've tried cutting it, with some success. And I've had the podiatrist remove it, which works best. I'm hoping this treatment takes away all my callouses, completely. UPDATE, 2 hours later: I have now removed the booties and washed the gel off. I already have quite a bit of softenED callous rolling off of my heels when I rubbed with the towel. I'm pretty sure this much would not have come off after a two-hour bath soak, though the longest I ever soak for is about an hour. I just haven't seen it this soft after just a water soak, so I'm sure the gel is already working. It's not a peeling or flaking at this point, just a good amount that rolled off with the toweling. I'm here with comfy clean socks on, just waiting for the miracle to happen. UPDATE, Day 2: no peeling yet or shedding. About 2 hours after I wrote the last update, I realized why some reviewers are saying the product made their feet "worse." My feet, especially at the problem callous areas on my heels and outer edges of the sole, started looking and feeling really rough. Yesterday and today, the skin feels sort of stiff, and tingly almost to the point of sun-burny, probably because I left the stuff on for 2 hours. But they don't really hurt, just a strong tingly feel. I soaked my feet for about 10 to 15 minutes last night, and towelled them off, rubbing the skin well. Not much came off. The heels and sides still look rough today. Socks are necessary today, for sure. Waiting patiently for the peeling to begin. UPDATE, Day 4: The tops of my feet are starting to peel. Nothing on the rest of the foot, meaning the bottoms where the callouses are, where it's really needed. I have soaked my feet for 20 minutes twice since using the product, most recently last night. I have not used lotion, for fear it would interfere with the process. I'm beginning to wonder if I will be one of those on whom this product does not work very well. Wonder what will happen tomorrow. UPDATE, Day 6: My feet started peeling seriously last night, the evening of my 5th day. A couple hours later, they were absolutely shedding. Huge strips of skin started sloughing off, on the tops of my feet and on the bottoms. I did read the review suggesting you shouldn't pull the skin off, but I could not resist. I sort of wanted to control where all this skin was going to land. I did not pull it off if it did not come easily. Today, Day 6, the peeling and sloughing continues, though not as wildly. My heels and that pesky oval callous on each of my insteps are still there, though better, and are rough, not "baby-soft," and I am hoping I can look forward to more peeling in those sections. Otherwise, I will do another session in a month or so - after whatever the recommended waiting time is. UPDATE, Day 7: Late yesterday, a few hours after writing the Day 6 update, I noticed the callouses on my heels were sort of crumbling, but not peeling off. I decided to soak my feet again, and this time ran hot water into the tub. It was warm enough that I had to put my feet in and out to get used to it. After putting my feet in, I did cool the temp down by running some cold water, but still let the water be warm. I soaked for 20 minutes, then toweled them, rubbing firmly with the towel. The remaining callouses just rolled away, and I am left with beautiful feet. That being said, I am now noticing that some places on the heels still feel "thick", though they look great. Also, there is still a "thicker" area on the balls of my feet, in the center where that tough-to-reach callous was. I think I had a lot more callous build-up than I ever realized. I am definitely going to order another kit and do this again in a few weeks. I have to give this product all 5 stars. (I wish I could give it 6 stars.) It's fantastic, and works just as promised. I'm wondering if they will come out with a similar product for hands, though, yes, I know you would have to hide away for a couple weeks or wear gloves! It just would be great to get the thin callouses that form on one's hands as life goes on. The thin, thicker skin that the manicurist does not or cannot remove. I will update my review again after I try another session, or if there is more to report with this session in the next week.

le produit fonctionne, mais c'est pas flagrant. Il faut plus de temps pour que cela agisse. cependant, cela vaut le coupe de l'essayer.

قشر لي رجلي باسبوعين مره رهيب

Vorweg mein Urteil: Ich kann dieses Produkt uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Nachdem ein ähnliches Mittel aus dem Handel genommen wurde, war ich lange auf der Suche nach einem praktischen Hornhautentferner. Vor genau zwei Wochen erhielt ich meine Bestellung und steckte dann am Abend für ca. zwei Stunden meine Füße in die mit Gel gefüllten "Plastiksocken". Über die Plastiktüten hatte ich normale Socken gezogen, damit das Gel guten Hautkontakt bekommen konnte. Ich hatte die Füße vorher in warmem Wasser aufgeweicht und danach getrocknet. Nach der Anwendung habe ich sie dann, wie empfohlen gründlich mit Wasser abgespült. Es gab keine Hautirritationen, nur eine starke Austrocknung der Oberhaut an den Füßen, die ich aber nicht weiter behandelte. Eine Woche lang wartete ich, bis ich die ersten großen Hautlappen von den Fußsohlen abziehen konnte. Die Fusselphase dauerte dann weitere fünf Tage. Ich habe in der Zeit mit Socken geschlafen, damit das Bett nicht morgens voller Hautkrümmel war. Jetzt, nach zwei Wochen, sehen die Füße so aus, wie es die Werbung verspricht. Ich bin rundum zufrieden. Der Preis erscheint zwar recht hoch für ein bischen Gel, aber das Ergebnis läßt mich leicht darüber hinwegsehen. Jetzt verhaken sich die Socken beim Anziehen nicht mehr an der rissigen Hornhaut, weil diese für hoffentlich längere Zeit nicht mehr vorhanden ist.

Purchased this as I wanted to believe the 5 star reviews after already having spent quite a fortune on many feet treatments. I left the boots on for 2 1/2 hrs (I actually only intended to leave on for 2 hrs but I fell asleep relaxing!) Nothing much to see after a couple of days so I was not very impressed and decided to put this product down to another bad buy.... however day 4 after a hot bath, my feet started to peel, so i gently rubbed them and lo and behold my hard skin started coming off beautifully. The following morning I took another hot bath and used the pumice stone on my feet and I have to admit for the first time in about 15 yrs I have baby-soft feet, I will continue to use my UREA creams etc but my feet are in such good condition that they will be so much easier to keep soft... I WILL DEFINITELY BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN........

It works !
