No, you’re not imagining it — your feet may be getting more calloused each summer, even if you’re doing less on them. According to Harvard Health, as skin gets thinner and drier with age, older feet are actually more likely to develop rough spots and heel cracks. Whether these calluses are painful to walk on, or you just hate looking at them, there’s hope yet. Reviewers credit Plantifique’s peeling foot mask for making their feet look and feel up to 30 years younger. Want to see for yourself? It’s $18 today if you use the coupon to snag an extra $2 off the peach and strawberry 2-packs or grab a mixed 4-pack for under $30.
The key to this callus time machine? Chemical exfoliation via lactic and salicylic acid, which encourages calluses and dry skin to literally peel off.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, “underneath those calluses and rough, dry patches is smoother, softer skin” — but you have to get to it. Rather than just hydrating or moisturizing, these masks exfoliate your feet, helping you get rid of the tough, dead skin, revealing fresh, happy feet.
To do the treatment, first soak your feet in water for 10-20 minutes, apply and wear the mask for 90 minutes, then wait a week or two for the peeling to start. “...On day 10, the horror show began! Just as others described, tons of skin began to peel. It peeled from places that I didn’t realize I had skin to spare,” shopper Breanna wrote. “...Seriously, I am creeping up on 50 years old, and my feet look like they did in my 20s.”
According to the brand, the strawberry option gives extra hydration while the peach boosts new skin cells. (If you don’t favor fruity scents, the lavender option (not on sale) is meant to help reduce inflammation,the jasmine option focuses on reducing dryness, and aloe + green tea has citric acid, intended to help speed up the peeling process.)
While the peeling can definitely be a little gross, reviewers rave about the mask’s effectiveness.
One notes that “this makes your feet peel in the most satisfying way lol,” and “I have used other foot masks and have never gotten the results that I got with this.”
Others say the mask is the only thing that’s given them their feet back. “I’m absolutely speechless,” one wrote. “I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have hard painfull calluses on my heels.”
Reviewers whose feet were in “horrible shape” say the masks worked wayyyy better than other options.
Another fan, Nancy, says they’ve been dealing with cracked heels for years and “tried everything under the sun,” to fix them.
“I even went to my dermatologist twice getting prescription cream and NOTHING worked,” they continued.
“I tried this and I am absolutely blown away! I have brand new feet, soft as baby feet, heels are so soft I can’t stop touching my feet, cuts GONE-healed! This worked like a miracle for me, I cannot believe after all these years.”
Another reviewer added, “I’ve been struggling with stubborn dead skin on my feet for years, but this foot peel mask finally did the trick! It completely removed all the dead skin and left my feet feeling so smooth.”
While there are many peeling masks on the market, Plantifique’s seems to be a fan favorite. “This peel works 100% better than Babyfoot and the other brands I’ve tried,” JoDee wrote, with others saying these masks worked better than actual pedicures and spa treatments. “I have used EVERYTHING including getting my feet professionally done weekly and NOTHING worked until this product,” Kimberlee said. “It takes about a full week to get the full benefits of the first round but once that happens it is like magic!”
Using this pedicure in a box is easy-peasy.
For best results, the brand says you’ll want to soak your feet in warm water for 15-20 minutes in the two weeks after, saying that you should see silky, smooth feet at day 14.“I didn’t feel like it was working at first but after about 10 days 😲 My entire foot peeled taking every piece of dry skin and callus with it,” one user said. “This is a miracle product ✨️”
Many couples say they shared the two-pack, reporting that it’s cheaper than springing for two pedicures. “My husband and I both did this together,” Tina wrote. ”...Honestly, you could spend a lot of money on a pedicure and still not get the same results that you can achieve at home with this product. It worked wonders, and I couldn’t be happier.”

“For YEARS I have fought cracked heels to the point of bleeding, and I have 2 cuts on my big toe from a river incident that never healed, I’ve tried everything under the sun I even went to my dermatologist twice getting prescription cream and NOTHING worked. I tried this and I am absolutely blown away! I have brand new feet, soft as baby feet, heels are so soft I can’t stop touching my feet, cuts GONE-healed! This worked like a miracle for me, I cannot believe after all these years. I will be keeping this product in my home forever. 100% 10/10 recommend!!! I wish I would have done a before and after photo because mine would take the cake.” — Nancy Kelsey
“I don’t normally write reviews but I feel compelled to for this foot peel mask. I have what I call chronic dry scaly feet, probably one of my biggest insecurities. It’s even more so bad because I am flat footed so it’s the entire bottom of foot. I used this mask on my feet truly thinking it wasn’t going to do anything for me, despite all the great reviews. Not only did this mask work, but it’s made my feet feel so smooth and so soft I can’t even believe it. I’m absolutely speechless. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have hard pain-full calluses on my heels. 10/10 would recommend this product to anyone. Definitely plan to do it when you don’t need to wear sandals cause you’ll definitely peel like a snake.” — crystal kaminski
“Just buy it. You will not regret it. I kept it on for about 70 mins. A few days later my feet were peeling like crazy. I have the worst dry cracked heels during winter. My feet have never been so smooth and I mean it. Definitely would recommend to anyone suffering dry cracked feet.” — Marisa G
“I wish I took before pictures but my heels were superrr cracked to the point I wouldn’t let my husband see my feet for about a month. I also had dead skin on both of my big toes. My skin started peeling a week after doing the mask and a week after that my feel are seriously baby foot. Definitely worth the money and time. This is coming from someone who never really liked the idea of these because of the peel time but trust me, it’s worth it and your summer sandals will thank you” — Nûra Sullivan
“Works even better than the OG BabyFoot masks. I did the BabyFoot one, and almost nothing happened. I waited a month & then used this. you can clearly see it works! Worked on my deep calluses pretty well. I think I will just put the solution on my heels and use Saran Wrap on it, if i don’t want to do the whole foot peel but want to work on my thick calluses.” — sierra ramage

This HuffPicks Award-winning toenail fungus treatment
We gave this toenail fungus treatment a HuffPicks Award in the health and wellness category for its formula that board-certified dermatologist Dr. Angela Brimhall explained works so well because it contains 25% undecylenic acid, “a compound that has antifungal properties that disrupt the cell membranes of fungi, inhibiting their growth and reproduction,” along with oregano and tea tree oil, which have antimicrobial, antifungal and antiseptic properties.
The treatment can strengthen damaged nails and help them grow, as well as relieving itching, cracking, burning and more. Reviewers said it helped their feet "be ready for summer sandals" and gain confidence in showing off their nails.
A callus remover gel with over 41,000 5-star ratings
According to the brand, you only have to leave this gel on for three to seven minutes for it to work its magic — and reviewers agree, claiming it "melts away tough dead skin." It's scent-free, hydrates the skin, and is especially useful on cracked heels. (Tip: The brand recommends using the gel in conjunction with a pumice stone or rasp to make sure all the dead skin comes off.)
Promising review: "Okay so I've had these horrible hooves on the back of my feet for like nearly two decades. Been to slons, had pedis, pour souls scrubbing away at my feet with silly pumice stones. Sweating, thinking about their life choices. Debating flipping the sign on their shop and closing down forever instead of continuing on my feet.
Listen. This stuff took off like a cheddar cheese block worth of dead skin on my feet. I should have recorded it. It was revolting. But holy **** my feet. SO SOFT. They don't HURT anymore. And it didn't take a lot either. So if you're thinking eh, I don't want to spend that I don't know if it will work. BUY IT. USE IT.
You'll have so much left over you'll be like, screaming at your family members to try this stuff.
In fact, I went to my roomate who had heel chunks, not nearly as bad as mine but I was like. DOOD. Soak your feet, we're shaving that off you TONIGHT. And he's not felt things on his heels in years. Now they're soft and comfy too. So good." — Kara Katze
A glass foot file reviewers can't believe scrapes away so much dead skin
The etched glass surface of this foot file is non-abrasive, but reviewers swear it will buff away callouses and dead skin super fast, leaving behind smooth, soft feet. The ergonomic shape, complete with a thumb indent for easy handling, and straightforward cleaning — just rinse it and air-dry! — make this tool convenient and simple.
Promising review: "I have chronically dry, cracked heels and thick calluses on the ball of my foot. I've tried just about everything, from pumice stones to metal graters. Mostly it was a lot of effort for little result.
This foot file gets rid of all of that dead skin much faster than you would believe. I'm rarely amazed by a product, but this is an exception. I plan on trying out more of this product line. (Foot creams, etc.)
Word of caution: it takes all that stuff off really fast and the dust flies around a lot, so you might want to do your filing over a towel or wastebasket. So worth the effort, though!" — ejh
