11 Foot Peel Masks That Will Give Your Poor, Cracked Feet New Life

• Pros: Vitamins A and E, no down time
• Cons: Takes off toenail polish, daily foot soaks recommended to encourage peeling

While making sure your feet are super soft, why not keep them healthy, too, by using a peeling mask with added vitamins? Along with hydrating aloe vera and anti-inflammatory jasmine oil, this two-pack has vitamin A and E, which aim to speed up the regeneration of the skin underneath the peeling layer and enhance its elasticity. For the best results, the company recommends soaking your feet for 15 minutes prior to application and to continue to soak your feet daily until your top layer has peeled off as expected. 

• Pros: Proven results, smells nice
• Cons: Peeling process takes up to two weeks

If you're looking for an option with solid proof of effectiveness (like that seen in this TikTok review, which has racked up 9.9 million views), look no further than the OG Plantifique foot peel mask. In addition to the "plantis complex" it relies on to get rid of your tired calluses and the like (lactic, malic, citrus and salicylic acids are all listed as ingredients), it's made with natural peach, the kernel oil of which is said to help to strengthen your skin cells. 

• Pros: Added shea butter and essential oils, gentle on skin
• Cons: Doesn't peel as much as other brands

This one goes one step further than "moisturizing." Its proprietary blend, which is made up of a multi-blend oil complex of lavender, shea butter and peppermint oil, as well as urea and hyaluronic acid, works extra hard to add the kind of "ultra-hydrating" power that your dry tootsies may desire and require. While most shoppers agreed that it will get the job done to make your skin extra-soft, some say the peel process didn't work for them with these, so they may not be for you if you've got stubborn callouses to tackle.

• Pros: Gentler on skin, larger boot than most
• Cons: Won't penetrate skin as deeply, requires 30-minute foot soak post-treatment

Do you have sensitive skin or particularly tender tootsies? Then you should definitely try out this hypoallergenic option. It's hero ingredients are lactic acid, which is one of the more gentler acids, due to its larger molecule size that won't penetrate skin as deeply as, say, glycolic acid, and glycerol, which are used along with milk protein extract to give you a powerful peel that's less likely to cause adverse reactions. This pack also offers a larger sock than most. The one downside? The company recommends a 30-minute foot soak after you've completed your treatment, making it more of a time commitment than other brands. 

• Pros: Cruelty-free, effective
• Cons: Peeling takes a while to start

You can feel good about getting "summer feet" all year long with this two-pack, since you'll be using a completely cruelty-free product: The brand has committed to refraining from testing its products on our animal friends. While it takes a while to start working (some have said up to seven days), its glycolic acid is definitely effective, as seen in the many photos buyers have uploaded for proof. 

• Pros: Botanical-powered
• Cons: Booties are delicate

If you're a fan of Korean cosmetics and skincare, then this K-beauty foot peel mask is for you. Boasting a roster of all-star ingredients you'd find in your local spa, this baby has 18 botanical extracts, including calming lavender oil and anti-inflammatory rosemary, as well as fruit acids (kiwi, banana, peach) for what may be the most zen-like treatment on the list. The company also claims that 93 percent of buyers are satisfied with the product, so you can get your money back if you happen to fall into the anomalous 7 percent.  

• Pros: Included cleanser and cream, pleasant scent
• Cons: Need to soak feet for 30 minutes every day until peel complete

In addition to offering you the same kind of benefits that other foot peel masks do, this option comes with a revitalizing mousse to deep clean the pores in your feet and a post-treatment foot cream with essential oils and vitamins to really seal the deal. Happy buyers also say that it has a nice scent.
