ALDI: Cracked Heel Cream 100ml $2 (Made in Australia with 25% Urea), Disinfectant Wipes 100pk $3.99 (Canister)

110

previously normally $3.99, surprisingly it hasn't been advertised that this is the first time the heel balm has dropped 50% to its usual clearance price immediately upon release - wonder if there'll be any stock left in a fortnight to be reduced further? :)

    The podiatrist I saw recommended me to buy a bottle of Sorbolene, a few bucks a litre at the supermarket. Works for me.

      That is cheap, but even if I wait an hour, anything on the floor sticks to my foot.

    • sorbolene is usually 10% glycerin and so generally not as effective - perhaps visit a dermatologist :)

    • Agreed. Mrs C used to work at a chemist and she always told everyone the same thing as it's just as effective and far cheaper. You just need to be consistent and rub some in every day.

  • To compare this to the Eulactol Heel Balm, this one is not as effective and tend to dry to form a powdery film but I suppose for $2 if you want to try it's fine.

    • i've never found it to form a powdery film on my skin (should be absorbed into, not dried on to, it), but it isn't as viscous as eulactol :)

    • Eulactol is the greasiest of the lot. My podiatrist told me….

    $2 is expensive for urea, you can make it free in the shower.

    • time is money - what's your opportunity cost from making 25ml of it? :)

      • Just do it each day while you are in the shower. :) NO opportunity/cost for that.

    • It's unhealthy to have a lot of urea in your urine - means you could either be dehydrated or have a problem with your kidneys.
      (and the urea in the heel cream is a synthetic version)

    with 25% Urea

    Surely they're taking the piss.

    Made with recycled Rivet Lager I expect
