Pedikur Herbal Hand & Foot Cream – review

Summer: boots are lying from a while and feet are almost every day in good sight. If your feet are the source of big embarrassment and you really think you need an intensive pedicure, it’s time for something that worked for me: Pedikur Herbal Hand & Foot Cream

Pedikur Herbal-Cream: product & packaging

Pedikur Herbal Hand & Foot Cream is a multiuse hydrating cream for both hands and feet. Pedikur has infused this product with botanicals as a part of a complete routine for foot care and manicure. This cream comes in a small-ish plastic jar with 75 ml of product. My first impression proved to be quite deceptive: a pea-size amount of product is enough to rehydrate dry skin and the additional protective lid avoid any losses.

Formula & texture
Pedikur Herbal hand & Foot Cream is a white cream with a light and spreadable texture. It’s packed with moisture but applies pleasantly, dries quickly and without being greasy. It’s a rapid treatment that’s yet very delicate onto the skin and contains rosemary, thyme, sage and horse-chestnut extracts.

Scent
This Pedikur cream has a  purely balsamic fragrance. I know, it may not appeal to everyone but it’s still very agreeable and refreshing.

How to use:
Specifically created to follow the deeply exfoliating Pedikur Lotion Treatment and maintain its effect longer, Pedikur Herbal Hand & Foot Cream is to be used twice a week, sparingly, on both hand and feet. The truth? I haven’t got the Pedikur Lotion but a warm feet soak and a vigurous scrub with a metal spatula, refined pumice stone, are enough to get rid of the driest layer of skin and allow the Herbal-Cream to do its magic.

PROS:

it’s effective
at rapid absorption
travel-friendly
its hydration is long-lasting
it smoothes the skin
it has an uplifting, balsamic scent

CON:
moderately high price for European consumers

It’s a product that does what promises and its results are longer than other over the counter foot creams do. My body is seriously dehydrated, but the day after my treatment, my feet soles were still so smooth and soft. Pedikur Herbal-Cream normally costs 10 pounds, a price that would be right for a great product, but not so convenient for European customers who may pay more for it.

Too small you say? This is one of those brialliant cases when dimensions don’t count! Pedikur Herbal Hand & Foot Cream is a small, big surprise and I forgot how many times I’ve been using it. But most of all, I forgot how long it hydrates my poorly dry, chapped, cracked feet and heels! This cream can be purchased online at Pedikur and Beauty Chamber. Would you spend 12 euro for a cream like this? Once finished I’d do it, if I can.
