Hello Neil. My podiatrist recommended Flexitol which I find very good. I have soft cotton socks which I wear after creaming my feet and within a few days they looked much better, no longer dry and flaky. The socks always come off in the middle of the night!

Coconut Oil is also very good.

Neil the 'floats' that are sometimes in the eye are little specks that you see moving around sometime, especially if you stare at a blank wall or ceiling. They are called that as they seem to float about.
 
A podiatrist also told me to use Flexitol.
In fact their comment was a strong “you should use flexitol and not a generic moisturiser like cocoa butter”.
Sorry this was a few years ago and I do not remember why.
 
So, the cheapest that does a good job has to be Aqueous Cream.
I like Diprobase really.
Flexitrol comes highly recommended.
 
I use flextol when extra power’s required, and zerobase which is now prescribed. Dry skin that cracks isn’t good! I also ensure that socks are bamboo, viscose or cotton.
 
I was at the chiropodist last week and she told me my foot ( I only have one ) was in excellent condition , I have lost my leg below the knee and my prosthetist tells me the same about my stump , I don’t use any creams but I do add baby oil to my bath ,
Which I have daily , seems to work for me
 
I barely use foot cream these days except for a bit of preventative maintenance maybe once a week. Recently bought some of this stuff as I'm a bit particular about not rubbing chemicals into my skin. Really very impressive for an all-natural cream and smells nice too. Can recommend.

Hi neil the floats are caused by the the gel in our eyes turning to water it's a common thing has we age. I have the same exact thing you only notice them in very bright light or daylight mine tends to
Disappear in the night or when its cloudy and raining has annoying has they are there harmless you will learn to ignore them in the end. Hope your well and stay safe best wishes.

Boots sell one called Smoothie Star Body Butter. 300ml (on sale at £6.99) and the tiniest amount really softens the skin ... and keeps it soft for days! I LOVE it!
