About this deal
The active ingredients in foot peels include lactic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or a combination of the three. These agents work by causing the top layer of skin to peel and shed, resulting in the exposure of the underlying layer that’s softer and more attractive. Some foot peels also contain alcohol, which increases the effectiveness of the acids.

Make the time fly by watching a few episodes of a TV show or movie while you wait for your foot peel to work. FAQ
