Product Overview
Flexitol Rescue Heel Balm 500 g is a clinically proven foot care balm containing 25 % urea to intensely hydrate and repair dry, cracked heels and feet, helping restore soft, smooth skin and maintain foot comfort.
Description
Flexitol Rescue Heel Balm 500 g is a medically proven intensive footcare treatment designed to target dry, hardened and cracked skin on feet and heels. Specially formulated with a concentrated 25% urea moisturising complex, this balm deeply penetrates the skin to attract and retain moisture, supporting the repair of rough skin and reducing discomfort associated with severely dry feet. Enriched with ProVitamin B5 and Shea Butter, the balm nourishes and conditions while promoting smoother, softer skin with continued use. Visible improvement can be seen in as little as one day of regular application.
Flexitol Rescue Heel Balm is clinically proven, GP-recommended and trusted by footcare professionals, making it a cornerstone treatment for adults with dry or fissured heels and a useful adjunct in supportive footcare routines. It is also widely regarded as diabetic-friendly, used to help restore skin comfort and prevent discomfort from fissures or hard skin.
How to Use
Directions for Use (Pharmacy-aligned):
- Use on clean, dry feet and heels. Gently cleanse and dry before application.
- Apply an appropriate amount (e.g., a 2 cm length of balm) to affected areas.
- Massage gently into the skin, concentrating on rough, cracked or thickened areas.
- For best results, apply once or twice daily, morning and night.
- Continue application daily until the skin texture is restored; thereafter, use as a maintenance moisturiser.
Additional Pharmacist Guidance:
- Wash hands after use to avoid transfer to other areas.
- If using on deep cracks or fissures, irritation or slight stinging may occur — this can be normal with high-urea products.
- Not for use in children under 12 years except on medical advice.
