An 8ml oil serum with silicium for brittle nails
Poderm Silicium Serum is an 8ml oil serum from the Swiss brand Poderm made for brittle, splitting nails. Silicium is the ingredient named in the product, and it is a mineral often used in nail care for its reputation as a strengthener.
How it works
A light oil serum applied with a brush to the nail and the skin around it. The oil feeds the nail plate and cuticle while the silicium is there to help the nail look firmer and less prone to breaking. Nails grow slowly, so the effect builds over weeks.
Who it suits
- Brittle nails that split in layers
- Nails weakened by frequent polish and remover
- Anyone growing out their nails
- Dry cuticles that lift and tear
Worth knowing before you buy: A serum cannot repair a nail that is already split, it helps protect what grows next. Keep applying for at least a couple of months and file gently to avoid new splits.
