The Cuticle and Skin Gel is a superb glycerin and aloe based formula which conditions and penetrates deeply into dry skin. The gel acts immediately to soften cuticles, promote healing of craked cuticles and restore smoothness to rough skin. This is a concentrated creme which works best when applied in small amounts. If too much is used, it will not absorb properly into the skin. This creme can be used on dry elbows, calluses on feet or other areas where the skin is dry. Do not confuse this creme with the Nail Moisturizer. The Cuticle and Skin Gel is for dry skin; the Nail Moisturizer is a nail creme.
