Temporary removal of corns and calluses (areas of thickened, hardened skin) commonly found on the feet, particularly on pressure points such as the balls of the feet, heels, or toes.

Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic agent, softening the keratin in the thickened skin layers. This helps break down and dissolve the excess dead skin that forms corns and calluses, allowing for easier removal.

For external use only. Avoid contact with surrounding healthy skin. Do not use on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growth, irritated or infected skin, or on persons with diabetes or poor circulation. Discontinue use if excessive irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider.
