This exploratory study is meant to assess the efficacy of a product in diabetic patients presenting foot xerosis and superficial fissures This exploratory study will be conducted as randomized, comparative study in parallel groups. In order to perform this clinical study, 60 female/male subjects, aged between 18 and 75 years old, with controlled type 1 or 2 diabetes and presenting foot xerosis and superficial fissures, are enrolled.
The subjects are randomly divided in two groups, (Group I or Group II), where one group applies the test product and another group applies comparative product.
The subjects apply the investigational/comparator products to both feet, twice a day, in the mornings and evenings, for 28 consecutive days.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Xerosis intensity on both feet with XAS (Xerosis Assessment Scale) | Evaluation performed by the investigator, giving 1 XAS score for both feet/patient (9 points scale, from 0 = Normal skin, to 8 =Skin with deep fissures). | Before (Day 1 Visit 1), and after 5 (Visit 2) and 28 (Visit 3) consecutive days of products' application |
| Evolution of superficial fissures intensity on both feet with VAS (Visual Analog Scale) | Evaluation performed by the investigator, giving 1 VAS score for both feet/patient (continuous sliding scale from 0 mm = no repair/no improvement to 100 mm = complete repair/full improvement). | After 5 (Visit 2) and 28 (Visit 3) consecutive days of products' application compared to baseline (Day 1, Visit 1) |
| Evolution of superficial fissures intensity on a target fissure with VAS (Visual Analog Scale) | Evaluation performed by the investigator specifically on the target fissure identified at the inclusion visit, on VAS (continuous sliding scale from 0 mm = no repair/no improvement to 100 mm = complete repair/full improvement). | After 5 (Visit 2) and 28 (Visit 3) consecutive days of products' application compared to baseline (Day 1, Visit 1) |
| Quality of Life evaluation by the patient | Filling by the patient of a 13-questions questionnaire about their quality of life related to their feet condition. | Before (Day 1, Visit 1), and after 28 (Visit 3) consecutive days of products' application |
| Global soothing effect evaluation on feet | The global soothing is assessed by each subject using a VAS (continuous sliding scale from 0 mm = no relief/no soothing effect to 100 mm = complete relief/total soothing effect) | After the first application (Day 1, Visit 1), and after 5 (Visit 2) and 28 (Visit 3) consecutive days of products' application |
