Alright, let's talk feet. If you're like me and your heels could double as sandpaper, this Lee Beauty Callus Remover Gel might just be your saving grace. I've battled crusty feet for years, and after testing this for a month, here's the real deal.

First up: the magic happens FAST. Unlike those 7-day foot peels, this gel starts working in 5-10 minutes. I soaked my feet (crucial step!), slathered this thick gel on my Sahara-dry heels, and literally watched dead skin crumble off when I scrubbed with a pumice stone. The before-and-after difference? Shocking.

But fair warning - this stuff MEANS BUSINESS. That "contains lye" label isn't joking. I learned the hard way when some dripped onto my ankle (hello, instant burning sensation!). Gloves are non-negotiable, and avoid any broken skin. Pro tip: keep a wet cloth nearby for accidental spills.

The messy factor is real though. Applying it feels like a science experiment - gloves on, balancing on the tub edge, trying not to touch anything. And rinsing? It's like washing off oily sunscreen. I nearly did a slapstick fall in my shower (shoutout to the reviewer who warned me!).

For extreme cases (looking at you, fellow cracked-heel warriors), one application won't cut it. I did 3 sessions over 2 days for baby-soft results. Pair it with heavy-duty moisturizer (I use shea butter) and socks for maximum effect.

Verdict? If you want salon-smooth feet without the salon price tag, this $15 bottle delivers. Just respect the instructions - your feet will thank you!
