Customer Reviews
I was able to get rid of my painful corns in just a few weeks. The stick is super easy to apply, and it's mess-free. I've tried other treatments, but CornStick was by far the most effective and convenient.
I bought this for my mother who had painful calluses on her feet. It was gentle, painless, and didn't have any harsh smells. Within a couple of weeks, the calluses softened and disappeared, and she found it easy to use every day.
This product is a game changer! The 40% salicylic acid formula really works, and I love that it doesn't have a strong odor. I've used it on several painful corns and they've all disappeared after consistent application.
I've been using CornStick for years, and it's always been effective. The solid stick design makes it easy to target calluses in odd places, and it stays in place without any drips or mess. Highly recommend!
