VOESH Peeling Socks - Exfoliating Foot Peel
What are peeling socks?
VOESH Peeling Socks are a single-use foot peel. You wear the socks once for 90 to 120 minutes; the sugarcane-derived AHA and BHA in the liquid soak into the dead outer layer of skin, and over the next 7 to 10 days that layer sheds on its own. Calluses, hard heels and rough soles come away without scrubbing, filing or picking, and the lavender and herb extracts keep the skin calm while it works. One pack treats both feet once.
Who they are for
- Hard, thick skin on the heels and balls of the feet
- Calluses that a foot file only makes rougher
- Feet that stay dry and flaky however much cream you use
- Anyone who wants a salon-quality foot peel at home, before sandal season or a holiday
What they do
The AHA (from sugarcane) loosens the bonds between dead skin cells; the BHA gets into the thicker, oilier patches. Nothing happens during the wear itself. Peeling starts around day three to five, is heaviest around day seven, and is finished by day ten, leaving new, soft skin underneath. It is exfoliation, not moisturizing: once the peel is done, keep the new skin soft with the VOESH Moisturizing Heel Socks. For two treatments, the Peeling Socks Duo is the better buy.

How to use peeling socks
- Soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes to soften the dead skin, then dry them completely.
- Cut each sock open below the seal line, open the inner fabric and put your feet in. Fix the socks with the attached stickers.
- Put a pair of your own snug socks over the top so the liquid stays against the skin.
- Wear for 90 to 120 minutes. Do not go past 120 minutes.
- Remove, wash your feet thoroughly and carry on as normal. Dead skin starts to lift in 7 to 10 days. Let it come away on its own; do not pull or scrub it. For very thick calluses, a foot file on the loose skin is fine.
How often
One treatment every four to six weeks at most. Wait until all peeling has finished before doing another, and do not use peeling socks on broken skin, cuts or eczema, during pregnancy without asking your doctor, or if you are diabetic without medical advice.
What is inside
Sugarcane-derived AHA and BHA acids to exfoliate, lavender and herb extracts to soothe. Vegan. Each pack is one pair, single use.
Peeling socks or heel socks?
Peeling socks remove; heel socks replenish. If the problem is hard, thick, flaking skin, start with a peel. If the problem is dryness and cracks without thick skin, the Moisturizing Heel Socks alone will do it, and they are reusable up to 50 times. Most people with badly cracked heels use both: a peel first, then heel socks two or three nights a week. A gentler, 15-minute alternative for tired feet is the Collagen Socks.
Questions people ask
How long do peeling socks take to work? The wear is 90 to 120 minutes. Peeling begins in 3 to 5 days and is complete by day 10.
Do they hurt? No. There is no sensation during the wear beyond mild tingling, and the peeling itself is painless because only dead skin comes away.
Can I speed up the peeling? A warm soak each evening during the peeling week helps the loose skin come away. Do not pull at it.
Can I use them on my hands? They are made for feet. For hands, use the VOESH collagen gloves instead.
Are they reusable? No, one pack is one treatment. The Duo gives you two.
