L'OCCITANE Shea Nail & Cuticle Oil, Nourishing Brush-On Moisture for Stronger & Healthier Nails, Hydrating Care for Manicures with Almond Oil, Vegan

Some reviews note this oil doesn't smell good. I think it smells like tea rose perfume from many years ago. It smells fresh & very lightly like tea rose perfume. The oil itself is very silky & absorbs well. After a gel nail trial for my wedding nails, some were lifting, others had holes, & a couple was deformed with a dent. Either the gel or the light melted my nails & caused Onycholysis (separation of the nail from the skin underneath). It hasn't been terribly painful but caused concern & looks less than flattering. I may be overly conscious of it as no one else really notices.In an effort to heal the skin & the nails as they grow out, the obvious is to never get gels again. I'd never had them before & had very healthy nails & I didn't know what to expect. The next thing to do is care for the nails, cuticles, & skin under the nails. That's where this oil comes in. It feels very soothing on my skin & absorbs quickly. I apply a couple times a day as I remember & have stopped using lotion so products don't interfere with one another. This oil seems to keep my hands nourished as well.The applicator is easy to use & the tube is very small. A person could easily put it in the smallest of pant pockets & take it with them. It can fit into a purse or wallet for easy travel as well. The brush tip applicator is easy to use. Just use a little pressure to press the oil onto the brush tip & paint on as if you were painting your nails. Once applied, I used my fingers to rub around the oil. I don't know if I needed to do that but it made my feel like all the places were reached & my hands are really soft.I like the scent. It's easy to apply the product & the bottle/tube? is small so it travels well. Overall, I give it 5 stars. I wouldn't say it magically heals severe damage such as what I've currently got, but my hands/nails feel better. Less irritation & they are softer. Hurt nails are like a bad haircut; they get better in time. Meanwhile, use this to lessen the pain (or wear a hat with a bad haircut) ;) Through a combination of gentle filing the nail bumps, clipping all my nails short & keeping this oil on, has truly helped heal my nails. After a couple days I could visibly see a difference. After a week, they looked A LOT better. Keep them filed, trimmed, & oiled until they grow out & NEVER use gel polish again. Lesson learned!

I am obsessed with this hand any product of Loccitane! The tube is perfect to keep in a travel case, purse or wherever! The cuticle oil has kept my cuticles and nail beds, looking fresh and soft daily!

This stuff is amazing! it’s a brush applicator, so you need to squeeze the tube gently to advance the oil. Once the brushes are wet, it’s simple to brush it on exactly where you want it. Absorbs nicely into the cuticle and surrounding skin. I will be buying this again once I run out.

I splurged a little on this cuticle oil because I am trying to improve my nail health. The oil leaves my cuticles soft and it good quality. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I wish the oil was a little thicker. I will probably repurchase.

This product saved my finger nails and skin from contact dermatitis . Not only does it smell good, it is so soft and soothing. I saw amazing results within a week of using. Helped restore skin barrier and nail strength. Holy grail since!

Great Nail Moisturizing! So handy to keep in my purse and I love the smell-so clean. I struggle with very dry cuticles and hangnails especially in the winter. And ithis product isn't messy like oils that tend to run all over the place. I still use the oils but this is nice for daytime when I dont have time to fool with them. This helped me so much.

I have already purchased this product twice. I now carry this in my purse and leave one at my bedside. It smells terrific and softens cuticles. I rub the excess on the back of my hands. There may be other brands that do the trick, but I love the scent, the size of product and moisturizing effect. Worth the money! A known and tried brand.

Didn't do anything for my nails but I have diseased, brittle, receding nails. It did keep them moisturized, but it wasn't enough to heal them or make them grow. I need a miracle.
