| L to R: Pedikur Hand and foot lotion and spatula (included), Pedikur herbal cream. |
This was the product that I was most excited about trying, it claims to remove dry skin and calluses, and stays true to its word!! I found there to be something very therapeutic about putting this on my feet and scrapping off the dead skin, using the spatula a little while later (sound horrible I know but honestly its therapeutic). This is the closest thing I have found to an at home pedicure treatment! The little spatula that comes with it is perfect for getting rid off all the dead skin, which in turn left my feet so smooth and soft. My only problem with this product is that its a little tricky to use, but to be honest at home pedicure treatments are never particularly easy, as lets face it, feet are not the easiest thing to reach and maintain by yourself! You receive an instruction pamphlet with this bottle which shows gives you instructions in photos (you can also view this online, along with a list of ingredients-super helpful). The general idea is that you put the product on cotton wool and put it on the bottom of your feet. Now obviously the cotton wool doesn't stay very well on the bottom of your feet and I tried many ways of getting the bottom of my feet to face the air (which usually meant I was rather uncomfortable and looked rather odd). However the instructions suggest wrapping your feet in clingfilm to keep the cotton wool in place. As ridiculous as it sounds, it worked (needless to say my boyfriend thought I was nuts)! After a while you remove the cotton wool and clingfilm and used the spatula to get rid of the dead skin. I found the second time I did this a lot easier than the first and a lot quicker as I had mastered how to do it effectively.
Despite the tricky application process, this product is brilliant. It does exactly as it says on the tin and left my feet smooth and soft. This can also be used as part of a manicure on your cuticles in pretty much the same way (minus the clingfilm), and in honesty it gives my Sally Hansen cuticle remover a run for its money! I have used this product quite a few times and have barely used any of it, so I think it is worth the hefty £16.00 price tag (which is pretty much 1 pedicure session in a salon to put it in perspective) and I will defiantly repurchase this!
Herbal cream: 'Moisturising hand and foot cream with Sage, Thyme and Rosemary'- 75ml £10
This cream is designed to go hand in hand with the lotion and helps to maintain the effects the lotion has had on your feet and cuticles. This smells very herbal (obviously) and is really moisturising. When I got sent these, they also sent the cotton moisturizing socks £2.50, which are designed to be used at the end of the whole process to lock in moisture. I used this cream on both my hands and feet and I found it to leave both feeling super moisturised and smooth. The socks defiantly helped with my feet but the cream was just as effective on my hands as any other hand cream I have used. I have used quite a few creams on my hands and as much as I love this, I don't know if it stands out as being majorly different to any others. However for my feet it works better than others that I have tried, so it depends what you want from it. My one niggle is the price, as I find £10 a lot for a hand and foot cream, but thats just me. Despite that if money isn't an issue, I would defiantly pick it up and give it a go!
All in all I do really like these products and would defiantly repurchase the lotion and possibly the cream, although only for use on my feet. These products are marketed both to consumers at home and in salons and I can defiantly see why salons use it, as it is very effective!! Currently they are only really available on their website www.pedikur.co.uk, which is kind of annoying as you then have the £3.65 delivery charge on top of your order.
I would love to know if you have used any of their products, if so what did you think? Did you find the lotion easy to use or a little tricky?!

I used pedikur for years when qvc stocked it. I not only found it to be effective at initially removing hard skin but I didn't seem to get the same build up of hard skin on the usual pressure points either. I would really like to see more people stock this as it truly is (for me anyway) a miracle product.
ReplyDeleteI am convinced that Pedikur is made by a German company Balsan Cosmetic. They have made (prior to Pedikur) an identical product in identical packaging. I have been buying from them direct, at a fraction of the price for many years. Although I have noticed they have re-packaged - and guess what so have Pedikur!! They have raised their prices but still beat Pedikur competively. They have their own website and sell on eBay. Hope this is helpful.
