Description
QV Heel Balm – Foot & Heel Balm for Rough, Dry Skin
QV Feet Heel Balm is a dedicated foot and heel balm that uses an effective blend of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and rich moisturisers to help revive the appearance of rough, dry, and cracked heels. Unlike a urea-based cream, QV's AHA formula works by gently encouraging exfoliation of built-up dry skin while intensely moisturising underneath.
How an AHA Balm Works Differently
Alpha hydroxy acid loosens the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface, helping rough, flaky skin shed more easily, while the balm's rich moisturising base works to soften and hydrate the healthier skin beneath. It's a different mechanism to urea, and some people find one suits their skin better than the other.

Who This Heel Balm Is For

How to Use
Apply to clean, dry heels once or twice daily, focusing on rough or hardened areas. Regular use helps maintain smoother, softer skin over time.
FAQ
How is this different from a urea cream?
QV Heel Balm uses alpha hydroxy acid rather than urea to help soften and exfoliate rough skin. Both approaches are well-established for dry, cracked heels — it often comes down to which formula suits your skin best. If you'd like to try a urea-based option, Walker's ULTRA 25% Urea with Ceramides is our therapeutic-strength option.
Which size should I choose?
The 50g tube is a good size to trial the formula or for travel; the 100g suits regular ongoing use.
Can I use this daily?
Yes — it's designed for regular use as part of a daily or twice-daily foot care routine.
