The Only Product to Make a REAL Difference for my Dry and Peeling Nails
I have tried dozens of hand lotions, cuticle creams and oils. All trying to find one product that I thought worked better for my ragged cuticles and peeling splitting nails than regular lotion. I've tried everything at the drug store, I've tried Nail Tek, I have even splurged on OPI and to be honest while they aren't bad products they didn't really do a much better job than the lotion. They certainly didn't do much to improve my nail beds or soothe my cuticles in the long run. Cutemol is quite comparatively expensive to most of these products at first glance but I finally decided I wanted to try it because it seemed to me that Summers Laboratories knows what they're doing and approaches nail and skin care from a very scientific point of view. If anything could actually help, I thought, it had to be this. It does have a major shortcoming. I wondered if I should subtract a star but ultimately I decided I still loved it in spite of it's issue. You see the consistency of this cream is almost reminiscent of marshmallow fluff. It is similarly pretty sticky. Not quite marshmallow sticky but if you rub this all over your hand then you will not want to touch anything for a little bit. After about 20 minutes is absorbs almost completely in and leaves nothing but a very soft vaguely waxy feeling which is only annoying near touch screens and then after that fully absorbs. This is the kind of lotion that is probably best applied before bed and then covered by a glove or fingertip protector so you can go about your business and let it absorb all night. That might sound a bit overkill but you will be amazed at the difference if you do that. My whole hand's texture has changed. My hands even look younger! The skin has a youthful texture and the skin has plumped up giving an almost "hand model" appearance. I can't stop looking at my hands and nails. It has immediate results on your nail beds as well. It will hydrate your cuticles but it will also absorb into your nail bed and lend it increased flexibility after application. You won't experience even better results than that for 4-8 weeks when your nails have grown out more and you can tell the difference in the newly grown out nail. My nails used to split and crack as soon as they left the edge of my finger but after regular application of cutemol they are much more resilient and resistant to splitting. I did purchase this with Summers Laboratories Dermanail product as well so I am sure that product has helped as well and I recommend if you are getting this for nail issues to get that product as well. Both take weeks to work and are comparatively expensive but it is a great deal because you actually get RESULTS. I have tried everything, rejuvacote, nail envy, every sally hansen thing under the sun, and while some of them are nice products and cheaper than Summers Labs products they do not provide the drastically improved results that these products have given me. Cutemol and Dermanail are also much larger volumes than you are used to getting with nail products. This is 8 ounces compared with the normal .5 ounces that most cuticle conditioners come in. So actually it IS cheaper. And Cutemol goes a looong way with just a little bit. Dermanail too is much larger than the nail treatments you're used to getting. It is 1 oz and you only need one drop per nail per treatment. I encourage you to just stop searching and buy this stuff. It is on another level. Read more
