Works for
MoisturizingUrea, Niacinamide + 10 moreWorks well
“This high quality, exfoliating treatment is filled with soothing herbal extracts assisted with powerful ingredients to remove hardened and cracked skin and moisturise your feet leaving them feeling luxuriously silky and smooth.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, lactic acid.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide, urea
ExfoliationUrea, Lactic acid + 1 moreWorks well
“Rejuvenate and exfoliate your feet with the MCoBeauty EXFOLIATING FOOT PEEL MASK.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: lactic acid.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Lactic acid, NiacinamideWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: lactic acid, niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Lactic acid, NiacinamideWorks well
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: lactic acid.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (lactic acid 3.30% - 4.10%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.30%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.35%, betaine 0.65% - 0.95%, lactic acid 3.30% - 4.10% and urea 4.40% - 5.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
