Gabby Douglas Uses This Dr. Scholl's Foot Cream to Prep for the Olympics, So Naturally I Had to Try It Out Myself

When I tried the foot cream for the first time I was expecting it to be super thick and hard to rub into the skin. It was actually the complete opposite, as the creamy texture spread nicely along my feet. I appreciate not having to spend too much time apply the product as it instantly absorbed into the skin.

I also notice that a little goes a long way. The downside is the bottle is only 3.5 ounces, so it's super small. However, since I only need about a dime-size amount (or less), the foot cream can last me for quite a while. Plus, it's travel-friendly so I plan on taking it with me on my next vacay.

But how does it perform? Truthfully, my heels have never felt so soft and smooth, thanks to its key ingredient, urea, a humectant known to target dryness and treat rough/scaling skin. The formula also has Epsom salt, lactic acid and vitamin E. The foot cream promises intense hydration and I'm here to tell ya the claims are legit. With continued use, it works to heal my cracked skin and prevent dryness or irritation.

The scent also surprised me (in a good way). It's not overpowering and smells super soothing. I notice hints of peppermint, lavender and eucalyptus as I apply it on my feet—essential oils that are known to soothe irritation and inflammation.

The Bottom Line

As I continue to apply the foot cream morning and night, I've truly noticed a difference in my feet. They're no longer cracked or super dry. The ultimate test will be when I implement the product in the winter (aka a dry girlies worst time of the year), but until then I'm glad I upgraded my footcare. I'm not in the running to win any medals anytime soon, but Douglas definitely found a winner with this one.
