Non-greasy foot cream

Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Foot Cream leads for a non-greasy feel: 13 of 13 shoppers said it soaked in without feeling greasy or slippery. O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream matches it on a smaller group (10 of 10) and Gold Bond Triple Action Foot Cream is close behind (15 of 16), but every group is small, so one or two shoppers can move a record. Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream has the weakest record here at 0 of 13.

What stands out

Greasiness is the dividing line here: 32% of the Burt's Bees reviews raise it, while it comes up rarely for the other four creams. Heel softening and scent get praised for all five, so the feel on skin is what separates them.

Where these numbers come from

The 5 products ranked here carry 1,706 reviews at Target. We read the newest reviews of each product (up to a thousand per listing), kept the ones that talk about greasiness, and counted up to 40 per product, posted between Nov 2015 and Sep 2026.

A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.

Target also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. We show them on product cards but never count them, because brand-site reviews run more positive than store reviews of the same products.

Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.

Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.

Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.

An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.

Questions buyers ask

Which foot cream isn't greasy?

Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Foot Cream has the best record (13 of 13), followed by O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream (10 of 10 on a smaller group) and Gold Bond Triple Action Foot Cream (15 of 16). Each group is small, so treat the gaps between them as slight.

Is Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream greasy?

Shoppers say yes: 13 of 13 who said how it felt reported that it stayed greasy or slippery. 32% of its reviews mention greasiness, though 28% also say it softened their heels.

How do I keep foot cream from making socks and floors slippery?

Use a thin layer, rub it in until the surface feels dry, and give it a few minutes before you stand on a smooth floor or pull on socks. If a cream still leaves residue after that, the reviews here point to Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Foot Cream and O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream as creams shoppers said soaked in.

When should I see a doctor about my feet?

The reviews here are about how a cream feels, not about foot problems. See a doctor or podiatrist for cracks that bleed, hurt, look infected or don't improve. If you have diabetes, have any foot problem checked by a doctor.
