This is almost the fastest repair cream for Elbows,and Heels I have ever used ,my husband had a bad sore on the back of his heel from his work boots after treating with antibiotic ointment  we began the second phase of heeling the heel ,we put this cream on fyi is a blue gel form and covered with clean socks over night within two nights the dead dry skin was gone .For myself I had dry elbows and after exfoliating  at night I rubbed this in good and to my surprise within three days the whitish  dry skin was gone .I swear by this I just got my second bottle to have for back up it works so good. I also use this on my feet at night just a thin coat and cover with socks over night to prepare for pedicure  season .I highly  recommend this product .
