Amazon Tools That Perform Real Magic on Calluses

A favorite product at HuffPost, this easy-to-use gel will help you get your feet back in shape. Simply soak your feet in warm water, towel them dry, apply a thick layer of the gel for 5 to 10 minutes, rinse, and gently scrub away the calluses and cracks in just moments. 

Promising review: "I’ve always been self-conscious about my feet due to my severe calluses. I’ve tried everything to get rid of them, and after reading great reviews, I thought I’d give this a shot. I’m so glad I did! Now, I can wear flip-flops and sandals without feeling embarrassed. I can’t recommend this product enough. I soak my feet for a while, apply the gel, and leave it on for about 10 to 15 minutes. After rinsing it off, I use a foot file, and the results are amazing. Seriously, give it a try—you might be as surprised as I was." —Michelle Weis

This beloved foot peel, made with 16 natural extracts, has been mentioned before. It works like an intense sheet mask for your feet, and comes with two booties. Slip them on, leave them for an hour, take them off, and rinse your feet. In about five days, the dead skin starts peeling off (and there’s a lot of it—take a look at the photos), revealing fresh, baby-soft skin underneath. 

Promising review: "WOW. Just WOW! I rarely write reviews, but this product is the real deal. My feet were in terrible condition—thick, crusty skin. On top of that, the salons around here don’t allow razors during pedicures. I tried using blades myself but nothing worked. A friend recommended this product, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I showered, put on the 'boots,' taped them up, and covered my feet with two layers of socks to prevent leakage. After an hour, I took them off and didn’t see any immediate changes. I waited patiently. By day three, I couldn’t believe my eyes! The skin was coming off in huge sheets. If you love the idea of peeling skin and want to see a dramatic change, this is for you. I love it so much, I want to buy it for everyone—even people I don’t like. LOL. I know many people with awful feet who would benefit from this. Just look at my photos. Yes, TMI, but this stuff is truly amazing. Don’t walk—RUN and buy it." —Annie

Dr. Scholl's foot masks are a favorite among HuffPost readers, and we’re excited to recommend this option for dry and cracked skin. This set includes three masks, meaning each treatment costs less than $3. Simply apply the masks to your feet, relax for about 30 minutes, remove them, and enjoy the soft, hydrated feeling left on your feet. 

Promising review: "As a nurse, my feet get dry after long shifts and from building up calluses. I used this product ONCE and immediately saw a noticeable improvement in my feet. The results are similar to what I would get from regular pedicures, but as a nurse and a mom to a 2-year-old, I don’t have time for that. The masks are a bit difficult to open, but that’s a minor issue—just put them on, prop your feet up for 30 minutes, and follow the instructions. 10/10, I’ll buy again." —apina

Promising review: "This product is a miracle! I didn't know how it worked at first. I was in pain under my foot, and someone recommended using a callus remover. I thought it would just soften the callus, but it did so much more. After just 2 days of wearing it, it started to dissolve in the shower, and a week later, the callus completely came off. My foot feels smooth, pain-free, and renewed. I need one for my whole foot! Highly recommend." —koko

Promising review: "This is the only thing that works for me to keep my calluses under control. I play sports that really damage my feet, and about 5-6 times a year, I give them a good sanding with this tool, then maintain them with a regular pumice stone. It really helps to remove calluses in the contact areas and dead skin all over my feet. I wouldn’t go barefoot in public without giving them a once-over with this thing." —Anon Mazon

Promising review: "As a solo mother with a daughter who constantly has a growing 'I WANT or NEED' list, I often put her needs ahead of mine. To be honest, I don't treat myself very often. However, at Christmas, a relative got a higher-end version of a similar product. I've been secretly wishing for one for a long time because regular pedicures aren't within my budget. But, guess what? I received an Amazon gift card! I scoured the site and found this callus remover. I bought it, and now I'm living in 'PEDI HEAVEN'! My calluses, especially on my big toes, used to hurt so much I couldn't bear another day in dress shoes. I found myself taking my shoes off under my desk more than wearing them. After the first use, I felt a noticeable improvement. Continued use completely eliminated the calluses. Someone asked if it could handle a thicker nail. I have one nail that became thick and small due to a damaged nail bed. This device smoothed it down effortlessly! The charge lasts great, and it's cordless. The only downside is that it's a little noisy, but don't let that stop you!" —melody_thrives_on
