Reviews about the Chinese fake file Scholl
Most owners of a non-original product agree on one thing: a device for skin care of the feet is externally completely identical to the original. The only difference is the USB connector located on the copy case. The device comes with a wire, due to which its work is carried out. Also, the Chinese file runs on 4 batteries, as well as the original.
Positive feedback about this device is largely due to its low cost, they say, if there is no difference, why pay more? Of course, the price of the original is at least 2 times the price of a replica, however, the Scholl Velvet Smooth roller electric file, released in the UK, is a certified product, plus the device is given a guarantee of 12 months from the date of purchase.
Negative reviews about the Chinese fake are associated with its low efficiency and short service life. The device breaks quickly, with frequent use, the rotating head flies out, and its filling crumbles.
Instrument Care
Like any other technique, the Scholl Velvet Smooth electric roller file for heels requires maintenance - this significantly extends its operating time. After the procedure, the abrasive nozzle must be removed and washed with water, then allowed to dry. The device itself, in order to remove particles of skin accumulated in it, can be wiped with a dry cloth. In no case should you completely wash the file - this will damage the contacts located inside the case and the device will become inoperative.
Cosmetics recommended by specialists for simultaneous use with the Scholl file
Daily foot care, in addition to eliminating corns and coarse growths, requires constant hydration and protection of the skin of the legs. Not every cosmetic product meets these requirements.

- Scholl Heel Cracked Cream.
- Scholl Nourishing Foot Cream .
- Professional foot care products from LCN.
- Creams, ointments and gels based on propolis.
