Well, I'm leaving a review now that I'm on the 8th day of using the product.
As for the application: Placement and removal are easy, but the movements (while wearing them) are a bit difficult. Because my feet are quite troubled, with several persistent calluses (big toe, metatarsal, heel), I left the product on for a little over an hour (the recommended maximum). I didn't feel any discomfort, burning, or pain. After a while, I only felt my feet being cold, but the sensation was not unpleasant.
As for the result: After removing the mask and washing my feet, for a while they felt damp, cold, and slightly swollen. The initial impression was that it moisturized them to a great extent. From the next day onwards, my feet became completely dehydrated, both the sole and the top of the foot. The skin felt like it was peeling off during movements, mainly in the arch area, not in the callused areas. From the third day, I applied some moisturizing cream because I couldn't stand the dryness, my heels cracked, and my toes looked like raisins. Also, from the third day onwards, since I didn't see any difference other than dehydration, I also did a foot soak to see if it would help the situation. No success. My feet remained dehydrated. The skin, although in the first few days I felt like something was happening, peeling off, so it would flake, it didn't happen. On the contrary, my foot, until the 6th day, returned to its initial condition, with the difference that it was dehydrated and the hard skin slightly softer. From the 6th-7th day, I started to notice very slight peeling in some areas, on the top of the foot. There were also areas on the sole that peeled, but not by themselves. I had to pick at them myself, hoping it would start. In some areas, mainly where the skin was not hard enough, I peeled it off. In the callused areas, the skin did not peel off completely, resulting in me pulling the skin and feeling pain. I continue with the foot soak on a daily basis. I rubbed them with a file because they peeled in some areas, they were dehydrated, and the sensation is very annoying.
Impressions: I expected the product to be more effective. I read all the positive reviews and got excited that it could actually remove dead and hard skin. The first application did not satisfy me in any way. Of course, I don't know if it's because I did a foot soak and moisturized them from the first days. In the sole area, if I didn't dig into them, they wouldn't peel off, under any circumstances. The instructions did not cover everything. They do not clarify the details of what we can do in between, in case of complete dehydration, or in case the skin has peeled off in some areas but is not flaking off. However, they mention that the results may vary depending on the condition of the skin. Based on my personal experience, it doesn't work on areas with persistent calluses. In my case, the skin on the sole did not peel off by itself, it did not detach completely, especially in the metatarsal area (where I have calluses), there was no difference. And finally, I had to use a file to bring them back to a more normal state and to avoid the annoying (rough) sensation.
I have another mask because I bought two out of my excitement. I will wait for the 10-day period to be completed, maybe I will see some other difference. I might leave a gap of a few days or weeks, depending on the condition of my skin, and then repeat the process. Maybe my case requires more than one application to achieve the desired result. However, because in many cases (and from what I read in other reviews) it leaves the skin very dehydrated and dry, to the point where it becomes rough, it is definitely not recommended for periods when we wear open shoes.
