I find Nivea body lotion very good as the cream is thick and absorbs well into the skin. It is good during the winter months and also during the summer for dry skin. It is absolutely good for cracked heals. There is no need to purchase any of those special creams advertised for cracked heels and Nivea does the job quite well. Also, you will find that the Nivea manufactured locally is costlier than the one from overseas available locally as well. You actually get a greater quantity of cream for lesser money when you buy the overseas manufactured cream. Check this out at your local store!
