Description
Callusan Forte 15% Urea Cream Mousse – for Cracked Heels and Stubborn Calluses
Callusan Forte pairs a high urea content (over 15%) with nourishing shea butter in a unique cream-mousse format that absorbs in seconds without residue. The urea softens tough callus and deeply hydrates cracked, dry heels, while shea butter restores elasticity — and with consistent use it helps prevent hard skin building back up. The German-engineered airless dispenser keeps the mousse hygienic and uncontaminated to the last dose, which is why the Callusan range is a fixture in European podiatry clinics.
Why podiatrists recommend it
- 15%+ urea with shea butter — softens callus while restoring moisture and suppleness
- Fast-absorbing mousse — no greasy film, socks on straight away; ideal for people who skip creams because of the residue
- Sensitive-skin friendly — free of fragrances and dyes, well suited to diabetic foot care routines
- Hygienic airless system — no open tub, no contamination, nothing wasted
- Vegan and cruelty-free — with recyclable packaging
How to use
Shake well, hold the can nozzle-down, and dispense a walnut-sized amount of mousse. Massage into heels and callused areas twice daily. It also soothes itching from dry skin and makes compression stockings more comfortable to wear — a genuinely useful bonus for anyone in daily compression. For the full cracked-heel routine, see our guide: Cracked Heels: Why They Happen and How to Fix Them. For external use only — always read the label and follow the directions for use.
Forte or Extra — which Callusan?
Callusan Forte (this product, 15%+ urea) is the treatment strength — for established cracked heels, hard callus, and skin that's beyond everyday dryness. Callusan Extra (10% urea) is the maintenance strength — for very dry, rough skin that hasn't yet cracked, or sensitive skin easing into urea care. If you prefer a traditional cream over a mousse at similar strength, Walker's Urea 15 Foot Cream is the equivalent — the mousse's advantage is speed of absorption and the hygienic dispenser.
Frequently asked questions
What's the advantage of a mousse over a cream?
Absorption speed and hygiene. The mousse sinks in within seconds with zero residue — the main reason people abandon foot creams — and the airless can means the product never contacts air or fingers until dispensed.
Is it suitable for diabetics?
Yes — fragrance- and dye-free with skin-barrier support makes it well suited to diabetic routines, applied to heels and soles but not between the toes. Pair it with the daily checks in our diabetic foot care guide.
Why does it help with compression stockings?
Dry, flaky skin drags and itches under compression. Keeping the skin smooth and hydrated reduces that friction — and the mousse's instant absorption means stockings can go on immediately.
How long does a can last?
Used twice daily on both heels, a 125ml can typically lasts 4–6 weeks — the airless system dispenses precisely, so nothing is left stranded in the container.
When will I see results on cracked heels?
Softening within days; visible crack improvement typically inside two weeks with twice-daily use. Stubborn thick callus responds fastest when combined with gentle weekly filing on dry skin.
