Dermatonics Once Heel Balm - 75 ml

Dermatonics Once Heel Balm 75 ml is an intensive, once-a-day treatment formulated to help soften and repair rough, dry, callused and fissured heels and feet. Its high-strength 25 % urea content — a naturally occurring humectant — helps attract and retain moisture, assist exfoliation of thickened skin and supports the skin’s natural hydration processes. This medically respected balm is widely used by footcare specialists and is suitable for general dry skin, rough heels and as part of diabetic foot care, where dry and callused skin can increase risk of complications.

This paraben-free, dermatologically used formulation absorbs easily without a greasy residue and is designed for adult use on intact skin. Many users notice visible improvement within a few days of once-daily application.

Key Benefits:

• Helps soften and smooth rough, dry and callused foot skin with a single daily application.

• 25 % urea boosts skin hydration and gentle keratolytic action to reduce thickened skin.

• Suitable for diabetic skin care and general dry foot care when used on intact skin.

• Paraben-free and clinically respected by podiatrists and healthcare professionals.
