This QV heel balm is AMAZING! Guilty of wearing thongs year round – even weekly pedicures can’t prevent my heels being coated with a thick dry layer of skin. I used the QV Heel balm every evening after a shower, and found it to soothe my heels instantly. It soaked into the skin well and didn’t leave a greasy layer like other products I have used for the same condition. I could see results literally the next day. Not only did it soften the skin – but it felt as though turned the dry skin over, and revealed a smoother crust and crack free later of skin underneath. After using the QV heel balm for a fortnight my feet are ready for summer and smoother than a babies bottom. I now use the heel balm once or twice a week and that is taking care of the upkeep. Another bonus of this product is that it smells great and I have been using it to double as a cuticle cream to soften up my cuticles and keep my hands nice and smooth as well. Hands down best tootsie product I have ever used – and it’s multi purpose.

The most noticeable improvement after using the QV heel balm for a few weeks was when I put socks or stockings on. The heel did not catch or scratch on them. That rough surface was becoming smoother. I was washing the heel balm off my hands after use but a friend told me that the directions say it is good for the hands. Just as long as the feet are clean!! My nightly ritual softened the heels and hands at the same time.

Thankyou for including me in your QV Test Drive & sending me the heel balm. I have used it now every night for the last 3 weeks and have noticed a great improvement. Particularly as I spent a week up in Surfers Paradise, walking on the sand – barefoot, and the difference has been amazing – much smoother to the touch – no rough skin to catch on socks & panty hose, & no sore spots from cracks. I would definately use this product and recommend it to others.

Hi, first of all let me say I work for Ego. This is a great product for cracked heels because of it’s non greasy formula.
Rehydrates the skin great for eczema.
I’ve reacted to propolyne glycol in the past and I love the fact that this prodcuct doesn’t contain such.
I love QV heel balm because it is non greasy and moisturising.
I love QV heel balm because it doesn’t sting my dry, cracked, calloused bare feet.
This QV heel Balm really works and has made my scary heels soft and silky. Ik has no nasty smell and goes on easily and is non greasy, thanks so much!
Thankyou for selecting me to test your new product “QV Feet Heel Balm” as soon as I recieved this product, I was really impressed.
I work in retail and because I’m on my feet all day my feet were dry and my hands were cracked and sore. I have been using for a week and I must say it is excellent I love the results now all I have is beautiful soft feet and hands.
Í’ll spread the word out because QV I can count on!
after only 2 uses of the heelbalm I noticed the difference, no longer dry & scaly feet or elbows,
and I’m not allergic to it!! yippee! :0)
The heel balm was awesome, left my heel and feet silky smooth. After a winter hidden in boots my feet are ready for summer sandals!
I’m using the QV Heel balm as a road tester and it’s definately made a difference! I’m on my feet all day for my job and it’s taken it’s toll- my skin is softer and the cracks are healing already!
Great for summer! I love this product and use it every day on my heels and even finger nails. It’s great for cracked skin and cuticles. I recommend it highly if you have problem feet or uneven nail beds. Thanks QV!
I loved this product. I have been an avid user of another competitors product and find that QV Heal Balm is just as good and even better. I noticed improvements after using the QV heel balm after a few weeks. My skin seemed softer/silky and less rough in appearance. I also applied the balm to my knees and elbows. And a huge difference was noticed weeks later. My nightly ritual is to apply the balm to my heels, knees and elbows and leave the remainder on my hands.
I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family. Thank you for the opportunity to test drive this wonderful product.
I have only just started using this product and I can already see and feel the difference. Smooth and silky heels here I come, no more cracked heels for summer (yay)
This is the best product I would recommend it to everyone who has problems with their heels especially as summer is coming and they will be more on show
Thank you for the test drive. I have been using the product for a week now. I was realy suprised to see how well it spread on my feet and elbows althouigh the balm in itself is quite thick! I didnt leave behind any stinging like most other balms do, but i felt pleasently cool on feet and elbows. They already feel soft and smooth. I like that it has no fragrance at all and is not sticky or oily.
Its a great product and i will recomend to anyone who is looking for a solution to dry and cracked feet.
Thankyou for selecting me to be a test driver! I’ve been using the heel balm now for three weeks and what a different. My heels weren’t cracked but they were very dry due to winter and no exposure! I’m pleased to say that after a couple of days of use my heels returned to being smooth and supple! I liked the lack of perfume as I’ve found products in the past can be too heavily scented and overpower so I loved the ‘lack of smell’. I also found that the product wasn’t oily and so rubbed in well without leaving a horrible residue. As an added bonus my hands are also a lot smoother from rubbing the cream in!
Thanks again I loved it and will definitely recommend to others!
After having 3 babies in 3 years, my feet havent come off the ground, I’m constantly running around after them. My heels were starting to crack and very dry. Love the QV feet, it dries quickly without leaving my feet greasy, really improved the condition of my heels. Also tried some on the dry parts of my knees and they are now really smooth
Thanks for the trial
Love it a little goes a long way
Recently I had to stop going to the gym and walking as I had deep cracks in my heels that were really painful. I applied QV Feet Heel Balm in a thick layer over my heels socks over it just before I got into bed so it would stay on all night. I did this every night and by the fourth day my heels were completely healed and I was able to go back to exercising without any pain. Now the first sign of a crack I’m going to apply QV Feet Heel Balm. I’m so glad I’ve discovered this miracle cream.
I received the sample of QV heel balm on the 15th September and I was certainly an excellent subject to trial this product as I had very rough scaly skin on my heels with rather painful splits, because I do a lot of gardening and tend to overlook my feet.
Following a strict regime of using the QV heel balm twice daily, I am so pleased to report lovely smooth heels that I can show off in open sandals. The product is not greasy and doesn’t get all over the sheets, and is altogether another excellent QV product.
I am really impressed. I usually use the leading brand of Heel Balm when my feet are in need and much prefer the QV product. It isn’t as greasy and doesn’t have the offputting smell of lanolin, in fact, it doesn’t smell at all. I will definitely be switching to QV and recommending it to others.
What a fantastic product QV heel balm is. It’s so so easy to use and it doesn’t leave your feet feeling greasy. After only a few applications I started to notice a change…my heels were smoother, softer and looked a lot nicer too. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t have a strong odour. I would definitely recommend and will continue to use the product in the future.
I loved test driving the QV heel balm. What a lovely product. Absorbed brilliantly with no greasy after-feel, and gently softened and smoothed my cracked heels ready for summer. Highly recommend
My heels were VERY cracked when I tried this – not even a doctor fish foot spa in Malaysia was able to save them! I’ve never experienced such dry cracked heels, so I was interested to try this out.
For the first couple of days, it really seemed like it was working and healing the skin. But then sometimes when I wore it, my heels would get quite itchy and I’d be compelled to scratch them. The skin didn’t seem irritated and didn’t crack/bleed or anything, it just seemed like the dead skin was shifting and the cream was encouraging this.
The itching has mostly stopped for now, and the progress has also slowed – it’s not working as fast as it was initially. My heels are getting in better shape, but I wish it was happening a bit faster. The cream feels lovely on the feet though, and my skin looks and feels quite smooth after I apply it.
So if you’ve got slightly dry heels or just want to keep that area moisturised, this will probably work for you. If you’ve got insanely dry cracked heels like me, then it might not work as well. I’ll continue to use it because I feel like it’s slowly getting there, but I’m not sure a really rich moisturiser couldn’t do the same thing.
Thank you for letting me test QV Feet Heel Balm. It was a really gentle, non greasy product which did not irritate my skin at all. I have a busy job as well as 2 young kids so am on my feet all day and they are really dry and cracked. The Heel Balm worked beautifully even though I did not use it daily as suggested. Great product!
I love to be a test driver for QVFeet heel balm! My feet was dry and my heels cracked from wearing sandals all the time, but since using QVFeet heel balm my feet are soft and looks great. Perfect for Summer and I would recommend the product to anyone.
Had not tried this product before sample arrived in mail.
It has really helped my feet & the tight dry feeling after a shower has now gone.
I was using it at night & slipping socks over the top to go to bed in & they feel much better.
Thank you for allowing me to try this product, it certainly works fast.
I have been using the heel balm for a couple of weeks now and the improvement in my skin is outstanding. I did not have split heels, but they were very rough, not any more, they are silky smooth now. I also used some on my elbows, great improvement and my hands have benefitted also.
I have recommended QV to many family and friends, it has been particularly well received by those with problem skin, that is psoriarsis and dermatitis.
Thank you giving me this opportunity.
Even better for elbows. Not sticky and rubs in well.
Thankyou for selecting me to test the heel balm.
I suffer with dry skin and cracked heels the balm was great.
It didn’t have an awful perfume , wasn’t greasy and did its job well.
Will definitely buy!
Thanks to QV for sending me this product to try and review. My heels were rough and dry/scratchy before using the balm and in dire need of some TLC. I noticed a difference to my skins texture within the first few applications and can now say that my rough heels are gone! I love that the balm is virtually odourless and absorbs quickly.
I will happily purchase in the future.
QV Feet Heel Balm is amazing! Ive suffered with rough feet ever since a teen, no perdicure fixed them, so rough that they would litrually pull the threads off my bed sheets *blushes* but after trying out the QV Balm I seen instant results my feet feeling much softer and no rough edges. After a fiew weeks of using the balm and can confidently say I have smooth heels ready to be shown off this summer!
The heel balm worked, and made my feet feel lovely, but it took twice as long to work as my normal heel balm product (two weeks instead of one)
I really like the QV Heel Balm – after using it for a couple of days there was a remarkable improvement on the dryness of my heels! Its non greasy feel is great for putting it on when you go to bed so you know its not going to rub off onto your sheets. Definitely recommend this product!
Thanks to QV for letting me test the heel balm, had just returned from overseas and was in dire need of it! I found that it took a few applications before I really noticed the difference, I slathered it on before bed and wore socks too, but perhaps because I used it quite sporadically I didn’t immediately feel the effect.
The smell was quite plain, sometimes heel and foot products smell too over the top for the area they are intended for so I quite liked that.
The best thing about it was that it wasn’t greasy! And it is the first foot product I feel I could use without having to wear socks to stop it from getting everywhere, this soaked right in.
Thanks QV!
Easily absorbed, non-greasy, effective.
Great product , I noticed an improvement after about 1-2 weeks , my heels were becoming softer and smoother , wont be so ashamed to wear sandles this summer , I’ve been recomending it to my friends and family.
What a great product! I have sensitive skin, and being on my feet all day can really take it’s toll. This product has helped me a lot!
This stuff is amazing. I always wear thongs, or open footwear, and my heals are always cracked , dry and peeling. After just one use of this cream, there was a visible difference in my heals. I will definately keep using it, and be telling others about it.
very happy with product,i have had extremely dry feet especially around the toe area since having spinal cord and nerve damage, have tried many creams but found qv foot balm to be the best,used every day for a week and now only have to use it 2 times a week to keep away the dryness,husband also uses it on dry areas on his knees,would recommend to anyone to try
Oh my goodness I cannot believe how good this product is, I wear high heels a lot and so my heels are always rough. I used QV heel balm fir just 2 nights and was amazed at the difference -my feet didn’t catch on my stockings and my kids would come play with my feet cos they were so soft. Thanks do much for the opportunity to trial this product I have already gone and bought more so that I don’t run out
This is great! I put on a thick layer then put on some cotton socks and went to bed. In the morning they were so much better!
This product was excellent – I have very cracked/dry heels & this QV product is really making a difference. It took a good week to notice the difference, but slowly but surely my heels are recovering. I will continue to use this product & would definitely recommend it to others whose heels need attention.
I am very careful when using a new skin care product as I have many bad reactions to some of the ingredients in other brands.
Glad to report that QV Heel Balm didn’t cause me any problems.
Will be on my shopping list from now on.
Thank you so much for asking me to try the QV Heel Balm. I was amazed with how quickly my rough heels were changed. Only 2 days of using it. Fantastic product, which I have been and will continue to, recommend to others.
I was so happy to receive the QV heel cream in the post !! Just before summer it was the perfect time to try out something for my dry cracked heels!!
I was very surprised the first time I used it as it actually worked. Straight away I noticed a difference. The cream itself isn’t greasy like other creams I’ve tried . It is light weight and easily absorbed which is perfect for someone like me with a busy lifestyle!! I use it every morning and evening. My feet have never been softer!!!!
It’s a great product I’d recommend it to anyone .
I’ve been trialing the QV Feet Balm now for a few weeks. I love that it is non greasy like some other creams I’ve tried. There is nothing worse than applying it before I go to work and have my feet slip and slide inside my shoes, so this is a great product to use both morning and night. My feet are softer and smoother since using QV and I will definately keep using it. Roll on summer and summer sandals. I’m ready!
I had really cracked skin on my heels after winter and it only took a couple of days for my heels to look & feel better and stop catching on the sheets. And it absorbed so quickly I didn’t have to worry about slippery greasy feet.
Great product. Love that it is nom greasy. Can see and feel the difference
Thank you so much for allowing me to test drive QV heel balm. Every summer my heels become very dry and cracked from wearing sandals. I was thrilled to receive the heel balm to try and found it to be an excellent product that worked fast. After applying the balm as directed, my heels are no longer cracked, they are soft and smooth. I intend to continuing to use the heel balm from now on.
I have in the past used some equ products, mostly the QV bath oil for My kids when the where babies, I Have been happy to trial the heel cream, It has definitly improved my dry cracked heels. I like the fact that it is not greasy on my hands when I apply it, and have found it good as a general foot cream.
Thank you – I can now use escalators without worrying about what the people behind me think of my feet!
I was sceptical that any product would work on my heels but after only a week of using this product I was amazed at the results. The balm soaks straight into the skin so your skin immediately feels smooth.
I will no longer be embarassed when I go to have a pedicure.
I absolutely loved the product.. my feet did not need a drastic treatment but I still have dry skin and even after using a foot cream my feet still had dry white patches around the heels and toe. Now its gone… I just had to change my product and I have done that for good. I used to use QV only for my daughter but I am fan too.Thanks for choosing me for test drive.
while testing this product i discovered that all my heels were no longer feeling as harsh they had softened and had lost all the coarse skin that i got due to walking around barefoot around my house which is covered in tiles and has rockery pavement outside a very good product to use and very easy aswell.
I was very happy with QV Heel balm. I love the fact that it’s not greasy. all other products I’ve tried we’re really greasy.It feels so smooth and in riched when you use it. My feet were very dry and a bit cracked on one foot. They felt like sand paper. But QV heel balm worked and I love it.
absoloutly amazed his product has done wondes for me having a condition in my feet i have to take extra care of them qv heel balm is a permanant in my bathroom now thanks guys
