Okay, confession time: I literally forgot I owned this gel for THREE YEARS (oops). Found it buried in my closet during a frantic foot-peel search, and guess what? Still worked like magic. Here’s the tea:

1. The ‘Holy Grail’ for Stubborn Heels: My feet? Like sandpaper. Baby Foot peels barely touched my heels. This gel? After soaking + 15 mins of application (twice!), dead skin crumbled off like grated cheese. Pro tip: wrap feet in Saran Wrap for salon-level results.

2. Lye = Handle With Care (But Worth It): Yes, it burns if it touches cuts (learned that the hard way). Gloves are NON-NEGOTIABLE. But the trade-off? Soft kid-feet in days, not weeks like those peel masks.

3. Messy But Effective: Shower prep is a must (hot water = better results), but rinsing feels like standing on an oil slick. Almost ate it in my tub—balance like a flamingo!

4. Longevity Queen: 3 years later, same bottle, same power. A little goes FAR—8oz lasts ages. Way cheaper than monthly pedicures.

Final Verdict: If your heels could sand wood, this is your savior. Just respect the lye, soak properly, and maybe keep a chair nearby for safety. 10/10 would rediscover in another decade.
