5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Acting!!
Wow guys. WOW. I saw this recommended on tt so so long ago and after maybe a couple of years of sitting in my wishlist, I got it.
I would like to take this opportunity to address some notable points I saw in other people’s reviews.
Consistency: yes, it is very thin, however, I do not find this to be an issue. I actually find that it is absorbed by the dead skin much faster than my experience with thicker cuticle removers.
Bottle: to piggyback on the thinness of the product, I have not had the issue of it leaking from the bottle like other people. I can tip my bottle tip down and the liquid only comes out if I squeeze the bottle. My recommendation is to shake the bottle first because the more solid parts of the solution may have settled at the bottom when not in use. I DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS THE CASE, but it’s what I do and I don’t have the issue with leakage like others.
Unlike other removers, you do not have to massage this in and let it sit for 5-10+ minutes. I find the effect to be almost immediately after application. Sometimes I will apply on each finger and go back to the first finger and go back down the line with a second drop or two if I feel the skin has absorbed it already or it dried away too much already.
Some tips:
DO use with your hand on top of a paper towel as there may be some dripping of the product. Plus, once you scrape (GENTLY) away the dead skin, you will want something to clean your tool, or whatever you’re using to scrape (AGAIN GENTLY, DON’T BE DUMB) away the dead skin.
DON’T scrape your nail plate aggressively when removing the dead skin. I have pulled up tinyyyy and thin strips of the top layer of my nails from being too rough even when I thought I was being gentle.
DO wash this off THOROUGHLY. I’m talking water rinse, then soap, rinse, and if you have a brush, then brush (GENTLY) your cuticle area and under your nail. If you do not wash it all off properly, the residual product can make the area under your nail peely. I don’t know if this the left over product or my skin, it does not hurt at all or seem like skin when I have seen this happen, but I just want to put that disclaimer in there.
DO follow up with proper moisturizer and nail oil. There really is no point in doing all this work and then not properly caring for your cuticles and nails because the dryness is what can cause the buildup that you need to remove with this product.
If you’re not big on doing or caring for your nails, I wouldn’t recommend this. It’s a lot of product for someone who will let it sit in a cabinet, but if you do partake in nail care and nails on a daily/regular basis, I would recommend this!

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need for the cleanest cuticles!
This is the best cuticle remover I’ve ever used! It’s better than Sally Hansen. My hands get pretty dry and so do my cuticles. Luckily, there’s this! Even if you don’t plan to polish your nails, your nails will looks noticeably better after using this. It works in seconds, just be sure to soak your fingers in warm water for a few minutes before applying. I then push them back with a cuticle pusher. Rinses off easily. Easy, it’s like magic! I do all my manis at home and I am not a professional. I can’t imagine doing a mani or pedi without this!

5.0 out of 5 stars works ! goodbye cuticles !
softens cuticles so they just slough off ! 10 min setting on nails massage it in to the cuticles a bit , use the cuticle pusher to push and cut the cuticles away and viola! no cuticles! for stubborn or thicker cuticles it helps get it loose so you can gently nip the excess off. No skin irritation on me and the bottle will last me forever and you only need one drop per finger. now my cuticles look salon done .

4.0 out of 5 stars The product is too thin and runs off your nails
The media could not be loaded. This product worked great but with some frustration. It’s too liquidy and runs off your cuticles/nails so I had to apply it several times. I wasted a fair amount of product. When I tried squeezing it through the applicator, it leaked out of the bottom of the cap. And yes I had the cap on correctly. I think I’m going to rerun it and look for something similar to what they use in salons.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Little Goes a Long Way!
I bought this cuticle remover in 2021, and I can’t believe I still have more than half of it left! The bottle may not look very big, but wow, it goes a long way.
Positives: All you need is a drop or two to get this product to do its magic. Leave it on your cuticles for about a minute, then use a spatula with light pressure to push back those annoying cuticles. It works every time and gives my hands a fresh look. Taming my cuticles more easily also helped me stop pulling them and causing my fingers to bleed—a bad habit I’ve been trying to break for years.
Negatives: I can’t vouch for its moisturizing properties. My impression is that it dries up my skin very quickly, as my fingers start pruning within a minute of using this product. That being said, I have not suffered from any prolonged dryness of my skin, so it’s not a dealbreaker considering the great value for the money.
Overall: This is a very reliable product, and the important thing to keep in mind is that a little goes a long way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works, if you use it correctly!
I used this a few times by applying to my cuticles. It didn’t make removing my cuticles any easier, so I was confused by all the reviews. Eventually I tried pouring some into a small dish & soaking each finger individually. THIS worked wonders & my cuticles came right off with a cuticle pusher. I now use a nail soaking bowl & fill a single reservoir with the solution & soak each nail for 10-30 seconds. So fast & easy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cuticle remover
This cuticle remover works very well. There are a couple ways to use it. I brushed it on my cuticles with a nail design brush, but you can use a dropper or pour some of it in water and let your nails soak the old fashion way.
This one is different from others I have used . It’s a liquid not a gel. What I lived about it is that I didn’t have to use a cuticle nipper. I just pushed them back and scrubbed my nails with a brush and then used a microfiber towel and rubbed them dry.
Warning this will dry out your cuticles and nails so I put oil on my cuticles immediately after using this products and threw some nylon gloves on for good measure.
Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars For The Dry Skin Around My Toes (It’s Supposed To Be Watery)
(It’s Supposed To Be Liquid Watery)
I’m no longer shy about showing my toes!
This worked for the dry skin around my toe nails. I have sensitive skin, and so far I’ve had no bad reaction.
I put it in a refillable “nail oil brush-pen” to make it easier to apply.
I apply oil every day, and also after I do a treatment of this. Both in seperate oil brush-pens.
I had originally tried Sally Henson cuticle remover, but it was too strong for my sensitive skin. It gave me hangnails and weakened my fingernails.
Extra Details:
For a long time, I’ve had dry hard skin around my toe nails. Docs always said “yeah some people have that” but with no solution nor advice, and definitely never told me products like this existed!
Internet searches always said to just use oils. Oils helped a little, but not enough. Then I saw this on a random video, and after 2 uses it FIXED IT. I’m in my 30s and for the first time, in a very long time, I have smooth skin around my toes.
