Add your reviewHave used it since I was a little girl on the farm. Great for any kind of dry skin.
ProsUsually pretty cheap
ConsLittle hard to find. Use to have it at the drug store.
This product is perfect for those cracked heels and that fingernail next to skin split that happens in the winter. I use it on my dog's hot spots on her elbows and if her pads on her paws get cracked due to the salt on sidewalks. An excellent product and always fast acting and effective!

I have used Bag Balm for years to keep the caluses on my feet soft. I just put a blob on the rough area and put a pair of socks on to hold it in place and by morning…soft.
ProsEffective, fast acting, inexpensive
ConsSmells funny, is like a thick vasoline with lanolin.
I have used it for a number of years. It really help my dry chap skin, especially when I have a spot that needs some healing. I use it at night before bed where it can get deep into the skin without interuptions of having to wash hands all day.
