Ok, this is the really heavy stuff. I already tried the lotion and liked it. I have super dry hands that tend to crack and peel during winter, as well as very stubborn dry heels. You need a very tiny little. I was surprised by how well it spreads and feels on the skin. Those tiny pebbles just melt right in – you see them, but you can’t feel them. It leaves the same foil-like feeling on the skin that the lotion does. They have a different texture, but once applied they feel the same to me. I actually liked this better than the lotion, but they’re both good.
