Mario Badescu Elbow & Heel Smoothing Cream, Rich, Thick Formula with Exfoliating Salicylic Acid, Overnight Foot Care for Cracked, Dry, Rough Skin, 2 Oz

Okay so Im glad I read the reviews. They warned of its stickiness. So easy fix I bought gloves because I also use this on my finger bend areas. My elbows are the scratchiest. As in I've actually had someone joke to me that I scratched them with my elbow (sad I know but im laughing) and now after just a few uses I feel they are the softest they've ever been. It is not creamy. Its more like really thick hair gel? Just use it at night and cover so you won't get it everywhere. This stuff works and I will be buying more when I run out.

So I hate everything about this cream, except how amazingly well it WORKS!What I hate:the smell (it's VERY heavily tea tree scented and I absolutely hate tea tree aroma)how it makes my skin feel when I put it on (it feels very chalky and drying)the format of the packagingSo the first time I tried this I was like oh heck no. I put it on my feet and hands and they felt so chalky and nasty and stinky, I was like never again. I was going to wash it off but was too lazy. The next morning after I washed it off, I was AMAZED. My hands and feet were exponentially softer (after ONE night). So I kept using it until the jar was gone and my skin continued to improve. This changes/improves the texture of the skin like nothing I've ever used (and I use a heck of a ton of different anti-aing products). The calluses on my hands and feet dissolved. It's so dramatic that I notice when I'm in the tub, my skin gets pruney in about 15 seconds flat because it's absorbing moisture like nothing. The skin on my palms started to peel off (easily taken care of by a pumice).After I used the first jar, I tried a different brand that was cheaper, and didn't have that nasty smell and chalky feel. However...it did NOTHING. Even with the same amount of urea and salicylic acid. I used the whole jar and by the time I was done my skin had reverted back to being dry and rough.I'm going to try to add some lavendar essential oil to combat the overwhelming tea tree aroma (again I HATE tea tree smell, so if you like it, it may not bother you).I will never stray again.

Works great on my elbows

I don’t usually write reviews, but I was on the fence about getting this after reading the reviews and decided to take a chance. And…I’m so glad I did! Is the product sticky? Yes. But does it work? Oh my god, yes! I got this for my cracked and dry elbows and they have never been smoother. I think the key to this stuff is that a tiny bit goes a loooooong way, and to apply at night before bed. This little container of magical goo will last me forever. If you’re on the fence, do it!

i bought this without reading the reviews since it's a well-known quality brand and the price was reasonable. However, I was shocked when I tried it. I have no idea if it works or not, and I will never find out since it is so horrible to use. It is a solid gel (not squishy) that is so sticky & messy you need to be careful where you during application, and to cover the application areas on your body immediately, or you will leave residue wherever you go. Not worth the trouble for me.

An ok cream, can’t say it really worked as well as said

I gave this product 5 stars because it is the only product I've tried (and I've tried several more expensive products) that has smoothed my elbows completely. No more roughness. Hello smoothness. I don't love the way it feels when it goes on the skin but then it gets absorbed and soothes my skin. The product deserves a perfect 5 star review because it works! I will definitely buy more. Great buy.

I love MB and it pains me to write this review, but this product is not good. It’s sticky, and it’s stickiness lasts and gets on everything. I use it on my feet before bedtime, and my feet were still sticky in the morning, meaning it’s not getting absorbed in the skin. I use a bunch of MB products, and highly recommend the brand, but not this one. It’s exactly like putting hair gel on your feet
