Two of the best creams available for dry feet are Sally Hansen’s 18-Hour Cracked Heel Cream and Dr. Scholl’s For Her Ultra Overnight Foot Cream. While both of these products are superior to other similar products, one of these works better than the other.
The Dr. Scholl’s For Her Ultra Overnight Foot Cream works better than the Sally Hansen 18-Hour Cracked Heel Cream overall. Here the two foot creams are compared for their product claims, the effectiveness of each foot cream, the ingredients in each foot cream, the scent of each foot cream, and the price of each foot cream.
Product Claims Comparison
Sally Hansen 18-Hour Cracked Heel Cream: “Instantly relieves and helps repair rough, dry heels.” The relief factor is there, the repair factor is not as effective as it should be.
Dr. Scholl’s For Her Ultra Overnight Foot Cream: “Softens the toughest skin overnight.” This claim was found to be true.
Product Comparison of Effectiveness
The Sally Hansen 18-Hour foot product was somewhat of a disappointment after using other great Sally Hansen products including the Pedicure in Minute. The 18-Hour Cracked Heel Cream relieved some initial discomfort from dry and cracked heels, it did not really repair the heel, as it claims, even after two weeks of daily use.
With the Dr. Scholl’s foot product the results were seen within the first three days of usage.
Product Comparison of Ingredients
The Sally Hansen foot healing product contains Tea Tree Oil and Grape Seed Oil, Sandalwood Extract, Amurense Bark Extract, Safflower Seed Oil, and Vitamins A, E and C, and other ingredients.
Dr. Scholl’s foot product contains Aloe, Palm Kernel Oil, and other ingredients.
Product Comparison of Scent
The Sally Hansen product should exude a pleasant Tea Tree Oil scent, yet the scent is barely there. For anyone who likes odorless creams, the Sally Hansen product may be the better choice.
For anyone who enjoys a pleasant scent in their lotions, and on their feet, the Dr. Scholl’s product is the better choice. The scent is powerful, but pleasant, and almost floral without being too perfumed.
Product Comparison of Price
A 3.5 ounce tube of the Dr. Scholl’s product costs slightly less than a 3 ounce tube of the Sally Hansen product. The price difference can be between one and two and half dollars depending on where it is purchased. The Dr. Scholl’s tube contains more cream, costs less, and is a better buy.
Overall, the Dr. Scholl’s For Her Ultra Overnight Foot Cream is a more effective product for dry feet and heels than the Sally Hansen 18-Hour Cracked Heel Cream.
