The best cuticle oils, on the other hand (pun intended), act as arestorative treatments.
Lin says the ingredient list will be your best friend.
What reviewers say:Love everything about this.
The bottle is weighted well at the base.
The dropper mechanism is great for controlling the amount of oil you dispense.
The smell is subtle and great.
Lotions just dont absorb enough to make a dent.
I also feel like oil is restored to my nails after I use fake nails for a night out.
The bottle is going to last a long time, even with two of us using it regularly.
So glad this was recommended to me.

The pretty rose scent is just an added bonus.
For anyone like me who struggles with pain due to dry and cracked cuticles, this is magic.

A friend of mine recommended that I try this product, and my hands have been completely revived.
The pen is so easy to use and has a really nice scent as well.
My cuticles feel more hydrated than ever.
Love, love, love!

My cuticles were so dry, they caught on everything, and I had hangnails galore.
My hands look so much better now.
My hands do not stay oily; it absorbs and I can move on with my day.
I always keep them painted so I can wear sandals, but they still look so bad.
I tried other nail products with no success.
Ive used the Renewal Drops for three days now, and my nails look almost perfect.
I cannot believe it.
I just wish I had taken a before photo because the results are truly amazing.

Hand lotion works for a very short time.
This cuticle cream applied nightly has made a big difference in my cuticles.
It has a nice scent, and it sinks in to create much more moisturized skin.
The brush-tipped applicator is also perfect for spill-free touch-ups when youre out and about.
But I figured based on the reviews and often-out-of-stock nature of this item, Id give it a shot.
So glad I did.
My fingers look healthy and younger.
I cant wait to get another one to carry in my work bag or purse.
Its emollient but not oily, and the fragrance dissipates after not too long.
So glad to have found this!
