Foot oil to use overnight

The skin on my feet has become very dry and I have hard skin on my heels.

I would like to use an absorbent moisturising/hydrating foot oil or cream overnight to help with this and, to avoid grease getting on to sheets, I want to wear thin socks

Can anyone recommend a foot oil or cream and socks to wear overnight in bed? I am not diabetic so don't need products suitable for diabetics.

Although it is not oil, O'Keefe's overnight foot moisturiser is good, so is their hand cream.

I’d endorse O Keeffe’s too, wonderful stuff!

Bit of an update. NotSpaghetti recommended the CCS foot cream so I ordered some which arrived yesterday via Amazon. Well I put it on last night, a little goes a long way, rubbed it in and it definitely seems to help the skin feel softer. I will continue using it, it smells nice as has eucalyptus oil in it I think.
Many thanks for that recommendation NotSpaghetti.

It sounds awful I know but I used vaseline,well rubbed in and then socks.
Great but not very glamorous xx

You can buy silicon socks from Amazon. They work well but it feels really odd if you have to walk in them. I usually put moisturiser on when I am going to bed. I used to use cotton socks but, unless you put loads on, the moisturiser was absorbed by the cotton.
