I'm not familiar with the brand at all. I have never used any of their products before, and I have never heard anything, good or bad, about them. Apparently, the new Renewing Lotion has salicylic acid and is supposed to smooth out bumpy, uneven textured skin. From what I read online, I picture the red bumps that some people can get on their arms, etc. Like this common condition:
(Apparently called Keratosis Pilaris (thanks, Google) and described here on Wikipedia).
I don't have this problem. What I do have are some pretty awful feet. They are rough, cracked, peeling, and dry. No amount of filing them with my stainless steel scraper thing seems to help. I recently went to Las Vegas on vacation and walked for literally miles in a pair of rubber flip flops after dragging myself up and down the strip in a pair of heels. It's hard to describe the abuse my feet took on this trip. I ended up with blisters on the balls of my feet, among other places. The thicker skin on the balls of my feet is still peeling and I'm pretty sure it's going to take forever to heal.
Last night after my shower I used the Renewing Lotion on my arms, legs, and feet. It feels really nice and isn't greasy at all. It is unscented. You can tell it is a good quality moisturizing lotion.
This morning, I am really impressed at how much it has helped my feet! They are actually really soft. Most moisturizers would have 'worn off' by now, and I'd be back to rough skin, but right now my feet feel like I put lotion on them ten minutes ago. The peeling is less noticeable too.
I am definitely going to keep using this. I can't wait to see how my feet feel after a few days. I bet it will also do wonders for the dry, chapped skin I get in the winter. At $12.97 for a 12 oz bottle (WalMart), I think it's worth the price and then some!
