Introduction
GlucoRx Allpresan is a unique “breathable” foam cream designed specifically for people with diabetes. Unlike traditional thick, greasy ointments that can clog pores and trap moisture in the wrong places, this foam cream absorbs quickly while creating a protective mesh on the skin. It is used worldwide to prevent the skin complications that often come with diabetes, such as calluses and painful cracks.
What is GlucoRx Allpresan Used For?
This foam cream is used to manage and treat dry to extremely dry skin on the feet. Its primary uses include:
- Healing Cracked Heels: Softening hard skin to prevent deep, painful cracks (fissures).
- Protecting the Skin Barrier: Creating a shield against external bacteria and infections.
- Reducing Calluses: Helping to thin out thick, hardened skin areas.
- General Foot Maintenance: Keeping the skin elastic and healthy to prevent “diabetic foot” complications.
Key Ingredients
The effectiveness of Allpresan comes from its specialized formula:
- Urea: This is the star ingredient. It helps the skin hold onto moisture and gently dissolves dead skin cells to keep feet soft.
- Pentavitin: A powerful moisturizer that binds to the skin to provide long-lasting hydration.
- Panthenol (Provitamin B5): Helps to soothe irritation and supports the skin’s natural healing process.
- Lipids: These help repair the natural oily barrier of the skin that often breaks down in diabetic patients.
How Does It Work?
GlucoRx Allpresan uses a patented BarrioExpert Technology. When you apply the foam, it forms a fine, breathable protective mesh over the skin.
- Breathability: Unlike heavy creams, it allows the skin to “breathe” and perform its natural functions.
- Fast Absorption: Because it is a foam, it disappears into the skin almost instantly. You can put your socks or compression stockings on immediately after applying it without feeling “sticky.”
- Targeted Hydration: The Urea pulls moisture into the deep layers of the skin where it is needed most.
Dosage and Application
To get the best results, you should use the foam cream consistently.
- Shake Well: Always shake the can well before each use.
- Amount: Hold the can upright and dispense a small amount—usually about the size of a walnut—onto your hand.
- Frequency: Apply it twice a day (morning and evening) to the affected areas of the feet.
- Application: Gently rub it into the skin.
Important: Do not apply the foam between the toes unless specifically told to by a doctor, as too much moisture in that area can lead to fungal infections.
Potential Side Effects
GlucoRx Allpresan is generally very safe and well-tolerated. However, some people might experience:
- Mild Stinging: If the skin is already very cracked or “raw,” the urea might cause a brief stinging sensation.
- Skin Irritation: In very rare cases, an individual might be allergic to one of the ingredients, resulting in redness or a rash.
If you notice a severe rash or if your foot condition gets worse, stop using the product and consult your podiatrist or doctor.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use this cream on all parts of my body?
While it is designed for feet, it is safe for other very dry areas. However, avoid contact with your eyes or inside your mouth.

How long will one can last?
Depending on how much you use, a standard can typically lasts for about a month of twice-daily applications.
Do I need a prescription?
GlucoRx Allpresan is available both on prescription and for purchase over the counter.
