3W CLINIC ENRICH FOOT TREATMENT
A deeply restorative Foot Treatment Cream formulated with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid and emollient Macadamia Seed Oil to repair cracked heels and soften thickened stratum corneum on the feet. Absorbs efficiently to prevent slipping in your sandals during Mauritius summers. Fragranced. Not suitable for application on open, actively bleeding heel fissures.

| Brand | Product Type | Key Actives | Primary Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3W Clinic | Foot Cream (100ml) | Hyaluronic Acid, Macadamia Oil | Hyperkeratosis & Cracked Heels |
If your heels constantly catch on your bedsheets at night, your foot's skin barrier requires intense lipid and humectant replenishment, not just aggressive filing.
Pros: Excellent value for 100ml size, provides immediate softening of rough calluses, and features a non-greasy finish ideal for humid climates. Caveats: Contains synthetic fragrance which some may find strong, and will not actively peel dead skin like an AHA foot mask.
*Brand-stated policy. Not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit.
Quick Start (60-Second Essentials)
Step 1: Apply in the PM immediately after showering.
Step 2: Dispense an almond-sized amount per foot.
Step 3: Massage thoroughly into damp heels and callused areas, then immediately cover with cotton socks.
Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your body routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.
AM Routine Guide (Morning sequence)
1. Rinse feet in the shower (no harsh soap required on the soles).
2. Lightly pat dry, leaving skin slightly damp.
3. Apply a pea-sized amount of 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment to the heels only.
If you wear open-toed sandals in Mauritius morning humidity, applying a very thin layer prevents the immediate evaporation of moisture from your heels without causing your feet to slip in your shoes.
PM Routine Guide (Evening sequence)
1. Cleanse feet with a gentle body wash to remove daily dust and sweat.
2. Towel off excess water, but leave the skin perceptibly damp.
3. Massage an almond-sized amount of 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment deeply into calluses.
4. Seal the treatment by putting on clean, breathable cotton socks before getting into bed. This creates a semi-occlusive environment that maximizes absorption overnight.
How to Use (Amounts, technique, and tips)
| Area | Amount | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| Both Feet | 1 Almond Size per foot | Firm massage into calluses |
Always apply to damp skin. The hyaluronic acid in this formula requires water to bind to; applying it to bone-dry calluses can actually make them feel tighter.
Focus the physical massage on the thickened areas (heels, sides of big toes). Friction from massaging helps warm the macadamia oil, increasing its spreadability and penetration into the thick stratum corneum.
The Full Routine Encyclopedia (All product types, all steps)
This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.
Viscosity ladder: thinnest → thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals.
Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup.
Amount defaults: Watery toner/essence: 5-8 drops per layer. Serum/ampoule: 2-3 drops or 1 pump. Eye product: ½ rice-grain per eye. Gel moisturizer: 1 pea-1.5 peas; Cream: 1-2 peas. Occlusive seal: rice-grain to pea-size max. Sunscreen: 2-finger rule for face; +1 finger for neck.
Skin state rules: Hydrators best on slightly damp skin. Retinoids best on fully dry skin. Hard cap rule: If routine pills, stings, or feels heavy → reduce layers, not increase.

- Sleeping Mask (optional) - thin layer.
- Occlusive Seal (optional) - rice-grain to pea-size max.
- Spot Treatment / Pimple Patch (as needed).
- Lip Sleeping Mask (optional) - thin swipe.
Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night. One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C OR Acne-control active per routine. If unsure: default to the safest lane = barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.
Viscosity and Layering Science (Where it fits)
Position: Tier 4 (Thick Cream). This sits at the very end of your body care routine.
This product utilizes an emulsion system that blends water-phase hydrators (Hyaluronic Acid) with oil-phase emollients (Macadamia Oil). The emollients sit on the surface of the stratum corneum to dramatically reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
Because it contains film-formers, any lighter body serums or lotions must be applied before this foot cream. Applying lighter products on top will result in them being blocked from penetrating the skin.
What to Expect (Results timeline)
| Phase | Timeframe | What You Will Notice |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate | 0-24h | Instantly softer surface texture and reduction in dry, white "ashy" appearance on the heels. |
| Adjustment | Week 1-2 | Calluses begin to feel more pliable. Minor cracks may feel less rigid and painful. |
| Epidermal Turnover | Week 4-6 | Deeply sustained moisture prevents new superficial cracks from forming as easily. |
Results stabilize after 6 weeks. Continued use maintains improvements but does not physically dissolve dead skin like an acid peel would. Do NOT increase dosage seeking additional exfoliation.
Who Should Use This (Clinical triage)
Before starting this product, your routine MUST already include basic foot hygiene. Without removing daily dirt and sweat, applying heavy creams can trap bacteria.
| Decision | Condition |
|---|---|
| PROCEED IF | You have dry, hardened heels, rough calluses, or experience flaking skin on your feet. |
| PAUSE IF | You have deep, bleeding fissures. You must heal open wounds with medical ointments first. |
| STOP / CONSULT IF | You suspect Athlete's Foot (fungal infection) or have active eczema on the soles. |
Skin Type Compatibility
| Skin Type | Compatibility | Specific Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Severely Dry/Callused | Excellent | Apply a thicker layer and mandate the use of overnight cotton socks to force penetration. |
| Normal | Good | Use a very small amount to maintain skin elasticity without feeling greasy. |
| Sweaty/Hyperhidrosis | Use with Caution | Limit strictly to the heels. Applying to the arches/toes may exacerbate sweaty discomfort in shoes. |
Targeted Concerns (What it treats)
Hyperkeratosis (Calluses): Thickened skin requires both water and lipids to remain flexible. This cream supplies macadamia oil to soften the rigid stratum corneum.
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL): The lack of sebaceous glands on the soles of the feet makes them highly susceptible to moisture evaporation. This formula creates a necessary artificial lipid barrier.
Cannot physically remove or "eat away" dead skin — it is an emollient treatment, not a chemical peeling agent. [Image of the stratum corneum barrier]
Best Paired With (Synergistic pairings)
INNISFREE SPECIAL CARE MASK-FOOT: Use the Innisfree mask once a week for intensive, prolonged treatment, and maintain the results daily using the 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment. (Use PM).
We do not currently carry a dedicated AHA/BHA exfoliating foot peel — this category is under sourcing review.
Wudu and Prayer Compatibility
Status: Film-Forming (uncertain).
Because this is a rich, emollient foot treatment containing oils and film-formers, it leaves a protective residue on the skin that resists immediate water penetration to lock in moisture.
To ensure valid wudu, it is highly recommended to wash the feet with a mild soap to break down the lipid barrier prior to performing ablution. Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.
Myth Replacement (Common misconceptions)
MYTH: 'Using a pumice stone every day is the best way to fix cracked heels.'
REALITY: Aggressive daily physical exfoliation without lipid replenishment triggers the skin to defend itself via compensatory hyperkeratosis—meaning your body will grow back thicker, harder skin to protect the area. You must moisturize after filing.
MYTH: 'Foot creams need to burn or tingle to be working.'
REALITY: Tingling often indicates a compromised barrier or harsh, low-pH acids. A proper restorative foot cream should feel deeply soothing and entirely painless.
Climate Fit for Mauritius
| Season | Conditions | How to Adjust |
|---|---|---|
| Summer (Dec-Mar) | High Humidity, Open Sandals | Apply strictly PM to avoid feet slipping in sandals during the day. Sandal weather increases heel friction. |
| Winter (Jun-Sep) | Lower Humidity, Cooler | Can be used AM and PM. The drier air accelerates heel cracking, making consistent use critical. |
In air-conditioned environments (like offices), exposed heels lose water rapidly. ALWAYS wear closed shoes or socks if you spend 8+ hours in strong AC to protect your skin barrier.

Product Identity and Provenance
| English Name | Brand | Country of Manufacture | Net Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enrich Foot Treatment | 3W Clinic | South Korea | 100ml |
Shelf Life Unopened: 36 months. Period After Opening (PAO): 12 months.
Sensory and Chemical Profile
| Texture | Absorption Speed | Finish | Film Formation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thick Cream | Moderate (1-2 mins) | Soft, Moist | High |
Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Unsafe. Contains Polysorbate 60 and Cetearyl Alcohol which are known Malassezia-feeding triggers. However, fungal acne rarely occurs on the soles of the feet.
Pilling Risk and Texture Mechanics
Pilling Assessment: Low.
Pilling is extremely rare with this product when applied to bare, damp feet. It will only pill if aggressively rubbed over heavy layers of pre-existing, dried body lotions or powders.
To mitigate any texture issues, massage into damp skin, pat firmly, and do not endlessly rub once the cream begins to set.
Stability, Spoilage and Oxidation
Fresh Baseline: Opaque, pure white cream with a smooth, uniform consistency.
Storage: Store away from direct sunlight in your bedroom or bathroom. Do not leave the tube in a hot car during Mauritius summer, as extreme heat can cause the emulsion (oil and water phases) to separate.
Spoilage Signs: If the cream separates into distinct watery and oily liquids that refuse to mix upon squeezing, or develops a sour/rancid smell instead of its floral fragrance. When in doubt, discard.
Safety and Patch Test Protocol
Patch Test: Apply a small amount to the inner forearm or ankle for 24 hours before applying heavily to the entire foot.
72-Hour Barrier Reset: If adverse reaction: STOP ALL PRODUCTS. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle wash and wear clean cotton socks. NO acids, pumice stones, or essential oils. After 72h, reassess.
Emergency Stop Signals: Hives, severe swelling, blistering, persistent burning, breathing difficulty (seek emergency care).
Troubleshooting Guide
| If You Experience | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slippery feet in sandals | Applying too much or applying to dry skin | Apply a smaller amount to damp skin, or shift use strictly to PM. |
| Heels remain hard after weeks | Product not penetrating | Soak feet first, apply cream, and strictly wear cotton socks overnight to force absorption. |
| Smell changed or texture split | Formula breakdown (heat damage) | Discard the product safely. |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Applying to bone-dry skin: Hyaluronic acid requires water. Always apply immediately after toweling off while the skin is still damp.
2. Skipping socks: Without socks, a significant portion of the cream rubs off on your sheets or evaporates before penetrating the thick heel skin.
3. Using on open wounds: Do not apply cosmetic creams into deep, bleeding heel fissures. These are medical wounds requiring sterile ointments.
4. Expecting it to peel skin: This is a hydrating emollient, not an exfoliating acid peel.
5. Over-filing before use: Filing your feet until they are raw and then applying cream will cause intense stinging.
Usage Economics (How long it lasts)
Volume: 100ml. Recommended amount per use: 1-2ml (almond size). Uses per container: approximately 50-100 applications depending on foot size and thickness of application.
At recommended dosage: approximately 60 days (2 months) of daily PM use. At common overdosing (2-3x recommended): depletes in approximately 25 days. Correct dosage is better for your skin AND extends product life.
Reorder in approximately 1.5 months. We recommend reordering 2 weeks before estimated depletion for shipping time.
Complete Your Routine (Exact routine + pairings)
Turn your daily shower into a targeted spa recovery for cracked heels.
3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment supplies heavy humectants and lipids to soften the thick stratum corneum, anchoring your PM body care routine.
PM Routine (The Heel Recovery Protocol):
1. Cleanse feet gently with body wash in the shower.
2. 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment: Apply 1 almond-sized amount to damp heels and calluses. Massage firmly.
3. Immediately put on clean cotton socks to seal in the moisture overnight.
If you have extremely neglected, heavily callused feet, then use the INNISFREE SPECIAL CARE MASK-FOOT once a week to deeply condition, applying the 3W Clinic cream on all other nights to maintain the results.
After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth. The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with 3W Clinic Enrich Foot Treatment, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.
The No-Buy Redundancy Check
This product's PRIMARY function is: Deep moisturization of thickened foot skin. You do NOT need this if you already own: A dedicated, heavy urea or ceramide foot cream that you haven't finished yet. Finish your current product before purchasing.
Check your current shelf. Do you have an open product with the same primary active? Skincare products lose efficacy after opening (PAO = 12 months). Buying new while old expires is waste.
Combining with a similar product: No Benefit (same mechanism).

About 3W Clinic
3W Clinic is a well-established South Korean cosmetics brand known for offering highly accessible, traditional formulations. They operate under Xai Cosmetics and focus on delivering large volumes of reliable, everyday skincare staples.
Their formulation philosophy prioritizes proven, classical cosmetic ingredients (like plant extracts and established emollients) over experimental trending actives, ensuring affordable consistency for daily use.
Genuine Community Experiences
Users consistently report that the cream provides immediate relief to dry, ashy-looking feet, especially when used consistently after showering. One user with chronically dry heels noted it kept their skin soft enough to extend the time needed between pedicure appointments.
Some users find the traditional floral fragrance to be quite strong upon application, though it fades once socks are applied. A few reviewers mentioned it works best strictly as a night treatment, as it can feel slightly slippery if worn immediately with bare feet in sandals.
Common Praise: Deeply hydrating, great value for the large size, softens hard calluses overnight. Common Complaints: Strong synthetic scent, slippery if not worn with socks.
Packaging and Practical Details
| Primary Packaging | Closure Type | Hygiene Rating | Travel-Friendly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft Plastic Tube | Screw Cap | High (No double-dipping) | Yes (100ml limit) |
The squeeze tube format is far more hygienic than a tub, preventing bacterial contamination from fingers—which is especially important for foot care products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this make my feet peel like those viral foot masks?
No. This is a nourishing, emollient cream designed to soften and hydrate. It does not contain the high percentages of strong peeling acids required to make skin shed.
Can I use this as a normal body lotion?
While technically safe for the body, it is formulated significantly thicker than a standard body lotion. Using it on larger areas like the legs may feel greasy and heavy, especially in Mauritius humidity.
Does it fix deep, bleeding cracks on my heels?
No. If your cracks are actively bleeding or open, you have a medical wound. You should use a sterile healing ointment and consult a doctor before applying cosmetic fragrances to open skin.
Glossary
- Hyperkeratosis
- The thickening of the skin's outer layer, typically resulting in calluses on the feet as a defense mechanism against friction.
- Stratum Corneum
- The outermost layer of the skin, which is naturally thickest on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands.
- Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
- The process where water passively evaporates from the skin into the air. The soles of the feet are highly prone to this as they lack oil glands.
- Emollient
- An ingredient (like macadamia oil) that fills the gaps between skin cells, making the surface feel smooth and flexible rather than rough and rigid.
- Humectant
- An ingredient (like hyaluronic acid) that acts like a sponge, drawing water into the skin to keep it plump and hydrated.
