I am a man in my 30s. I walk a lot, and unfortunately, cracked heels have become a problem lately. I didn’t have these issues when I was younger; I guess age is starting to catch up with me. Anyway, one painful heel crack has been bothering me for about two months—it just wouldn’t heal. I read an article about the healing properties of snail mucin, stating that its main feature is skin renewal and wound healing. In the East, snail mucin is even applied to scars after surgery to help them heal faster. It’s said that snail mucin started being used in cosmetics because people noticed that snails heal incredibly quickly from all kinds of wounds and micro-damage. Scientists discovered that snail mucin contains special proteins with miraculous properties. It seemed like exactly what my cracked heels needed.
So, my wife had a snail mucin face cream in the cabinet that she uses every day and raves about. The cream has a very interesting, stretchy texture. I’m no cream expert, but I’ve never seen anything like it. My wife explained that it’s stretchy because it contains a very high concentration of pure snail mucin extract. Well, I figured it couldn’t hurt, so I took the cream and applied it to the cracks on both heels. The next night, I did it again. On the third day, I was about to apply it again and, lo and behold, the cracks had already closed up. Wow!? I suffered for 2 months, and now in just 2 nights, it got so much better. I even took a photo.
Here is my heel. It’s not particularly photogenic, but one of the crack locations is clearly visible—new skin has already grown over it nicely, and it no longer bleeds or hurts.
I’ve now ordered a smaller tube version for myself so I don’t use up my wife’s fancy cream:
What I want to say is: a big thank you to The Skin House for this super cream, because it really works! Cracked heels are awful, but this cream works wonders!
