Following is transcript of the video.

Celia Skvaril: Today, I am trying the Lova Skin Instant Foot Peeling spray. I heard your feedback on the last foot peel and that you wanted something that worked faster. Well, this is supposed to work in 30 to 60 seconds. I'm hoping this works, because it's almost summer and my feet need a little TLC. The last foot peel that I used definitely worked, but it was sort of a hassle. I was losing skin all over the house for weeks. So I'm wondering if it can do the same thing in 60 seconds that the other one did in a few weeks. I'm currently sitting in the bathtub, and we're about to do this. I just washed and cleaned my feet. [spray bottle squeaking] This is such a weird consistency. I thought it would be more of, like, an actual spray, and it's like a very sticky gel. I was expecting a little bit of a burning sensation. My foot is pretty covered and I'm not feeling anything, which is pretty great.

Now I'm gonna let it sit for 60 seconds, and it should sort of start peeling on its own. [countdown ringing] I don't see much happening yet, but I'm going to try to peel. First with my fingers. Oh, yeah. OK. It's working. OK, I'm kind of confused. Is this just a chemical reaction, or do we think this is actually my skin? Because... this is a lot! To be balling up like this. Let's go in with this. Whoa. The skin's dropping down. So, I'm currently grating this new cheese. I don't know if you guys want to see it. Looks good. Yummy! Wow, I've been thoroughly grated. Look at all this skin. Oh, I -- this is so incredible. Now we are washing off the feet with some soap and water. My feet feel very soft. Like, they feel lighter. Like, I'm walking around like my feet feel so much lighter.

I want to know if this 60-second peel works better than the other foot peel I tried, so I'm going to be speaking to podiatrist Marion Yau to go over my footage and see which one she recommends.

Marion Yau: So, the instant foot peel is fantastic. It works instantly, obviously. And you only need to spray a few kind of spray in the areas where you want to treat. So, for you, it's on the top of the foot and especially around the heel area. I don't think it is like a chemical reaction where the solution or the liquid turns into a thickening kind of a layer and then it peels off, because when you put it on and then you roll it on the skin, actually the skin does become softer and the dead skin does go away. The skin is very, very dry around the big-toe area, around the middle of the foot, and especially around the heel, you really can see that white dryness there. And in the microscope, you can see that. It's really, really kind of layers, layers of dead, dry skin. And then afterwards, once you use the peel, it's nice and smooth. Now, there's still a little bit of dead skin, but that's OK, because the peel doesn't remove everything. And like I said, you shouldn't really remove everything. So, definitely personal preference of if you want to kind of take your time for the skin to peel off or if you're like, you know, have a wedding next week and you want to have kind of nice-looking heels and nice-looking foot, which you can use the instant peel to kind of get your feet in the right state for that.
