Thanks, LinasK, but my feet are too dry and I have to keep them moist. I use lotion twice a day with bags for an hour or two, and let them dry out else I would have foot fungus. They are peeling and cracking and the lotion helps a lot, but would like to try other lotions. Will look in Kohl's next time I'm there. Thanks! Menopause was 14 years ago?
Daisy, I have tried every lotion I can find and what I just found with good results is called AmLactin Ultra. I got mine at Walgreens and it is also available through Amazon. Probably at most pharmacies/drug stores, maybe Walmart, Meijer,CVS, etc. Try doing a search for AmLactin Ultra Hydrating Body Cream for your area.
I did not find it with the regular hand/body lotions, I asked the pharmacy area and they told me where it was on the shelves. Pricey, but not terrible, and it goes a long way.
Most often before this would glob huge amounts of regular Vaseline and put on heavy socks at night. Worked good for the deep cracks, but was messy. The AmLactin is not overly greasy and I don't need huge amounts. No nasty smell. Baby smooth (nearly) skin quickly. My feet can be fine, then suddenly a crack starts and it hurts! This has been a blessing.
Good luck. If you do try it, please let me know how it worked for you.
