Dry, cracked feet? This popular foot peel will leave you with soft, supple skin

Fans love that it sloughs away dead skin in sheets, leaving your pups 'literally transformed.'

The weather outside is frightful, and so is the state of our feet. Between woolen socks, constricting winter shoes and the dry, forced-air heat, the cold weather can wreak havoc on our heels, leaving them rough and cracked. While daily moisturizing can certainly help, you may need to go a step further to shed the dead skin (I know, it sounds gross). Here's a solution: Amazon's mega-popular Dermora Foot Peel. This cult fave uses a potent mix of plant-based ingredients to slough away dead skin in (strangely satisfying) sheets, leaving your feet baby-soft.

The path to smoother feet starts here: This original-scent mask is simple to use and delivers impressive results. Your feet will be in good... hands.

The foot peel package comes with disposable booties that are pre-filled with a powerful concoction of natural exfoliants. You'll slip a pair on your tootsies, let them soak for an hour and prepare for a mini metamorphosis. Much like a chemical peel for your face, it takes a little while for the results to kick in.

Over 11 days, the skin on your soles will start to peel off like an onion. (Oh, and in case you're wondering, the process is painless. Really!) It starts around day six, and by day 11, the exfoliation has usually run its course. The process might not be pretty, but the results sure are: The surfaces of your once rough, cracked feet are replaced with soft, supple skin that’s been a mere memory for so long.

For the best results, the company recommends popping on the booties, keeping them in place with the included adhesive tape and remaining seated for an hour while you take in an episode of your favorite TV show. (OK, we added that last part.) After letting the peel thoroughly absorb, wash your feet with soap and water, then wait for the magic to happen. You have nothing to lose but layers of dead, gross skin!

This mega-seller is a viral favorite because it delivers intensive foot exfoliation, leaving you with softer, smoother feet. When this radical exfoliant first hit the scene, the premise sounded pretty wild. So wild it might actually work — and it did for many people. Soon, legions of fans started jumping on the bandwagon. Right now Amazon boasts over 3,100 rave reviews.

"This product really does work, and the skin underneath the skin that peeled is buttery soft and smooth," exclaimed one reviewer who posted pics midway through the process. "Since it came in a two-pack set I was able to enjoy the product with my boyfriend." Adorable.

Another fan called the process "as satisfying as peeling dried Elmer's Glue off your hand."

"My feet have literally transformed," said another grateful user. "I’ve always had rough feet due to constantly walking and standing, but now my feet are really soft."

One five-star reviewer did warn that "Once your feet start to peel in a few days, it’s pretty weird looking, but be patient and let them peel on their own," adding, "Your feet will be super soft."

"They work fine, but the smell, while not entirely unpleasant, is very strong," cautioned another user. "It lingered in my house for hours." The same reviewer also advised, "Do not use if you have any cracks/cuts on your feet. I didn’t know I had a small one on my toe, and it stung."

If you still want to indulge in a major home spa experience, check out the other fresh scents like lavender, tea tree and coconut (prices vary for the different varieties).

This top-selling (and grossly satisfying) foot peel is designed to remove dead skin cells on the feet, revealing the smooth skin underneath.
