A nail care that softens and thins thick, hard nails
Alvadiem Kerato-Smoothing Nail Care is a nail care for thick, hard nails, formulated with black propolis from the Cévennes and fruit acids (AHA). With age, or from ill-fitting shoes, nails can thicken and harden until they are uncomfortable and difficult to cut. The slow-release glycolic and lactic acids gradually soften and thin the excess keratin, so the nail becomes more supple and easier to file and cut. Chicory root extract helps restructure the nail for a smoother regrowth, and black propolis, rich in polyphenols, brings antioxidant protection.
The texture
A light, creamy gel that is easy to apply precisely on the nail with the fingertip and absorbs without leaving the nail slippery.
Who it suits
- Thick, hard toenails that are difficult to cut
- Nails thickened with age
- Rough, ridged nails that need smoothing
- Anyone preferring a care with natural-origin ingredients
Worth knowing before you buy: It contains fragrance. Results come with regular daily use over several weeks. It is a cosmetic care and does not replace a treatment for nail fungus.
How long one tube lasts
Used once a day on a few nails, the 10ml tube lasts about two months.
