Holy grail for nail prep!
I've been doing nails for years. I started using this cuticle remover and still use it to this day. I love how effectively it softens my cuticle in preparation to remove. Its so affordable and extremely effective, I don't see the need to buy any other cuticle remover. This is hands down my holy grail during nail prep.

Works crazy fast and well!
I love using this to prep for at home mani pedis! It works almost instantly and sloughs off dead skin around the cuticle, so I can use a cuticle pusher to lift and then clip all the dead skin. It works so well and leaves a clean appearance to the nail beds. It doesn’t have an odor and definitely worth it! It’s very affordable as well and can be found at most department or drug stores.

Effective cuticle removal
I use this product every few weeks and it helps dissolve my cuticles for a clean manicure look. It works quick and does not dry the nails or skin at all.

Go to favorite for years!
This is one of those products that I’ve been using for years and I feel like I will never stop using it (unless it’s discontinued someday and my heart will be broken) but it works amazingly, doesn’t irritate the skin, and it’s so affordable and accessible that I feel like everyone should have this in their nail kit!

Good but wouldn’t buy again
It’s decently okay lol. I’m a nail tech so using this just kind of felt like it was liquid but it DOES help soften your cuticles! I wouldn’t buy it again bc it’s not as strong in my opinion but for beginners it’s good

Easy to use
Life changing item, if you like me, quick at home nail care, get this, very simple and easy to use- apply on cuticle, wait 15 sec, remove it. Only downside is that results can vary if cuticle very thick and dry. Overuse might cause irritation. Highly recommend!

I recently started using the Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover, and it’s quickly become a staple in my nail care routine. The packaging is simple and convenient, the small squeeze bottle with a precision tip makes application super easy and mess-free. As for effectiveness, I was genuinely surprised by how fast it works. Within 15 to 30 seconds, it softens even the toughest cuticles, making them easy to push back without any harsh scrubbing. For the price, it’s absolutely worth it. A little goes a long way, and the results feel just as good as a salon manicure. If you’re looking for an effective, affordable cuticle remover that works quickly and delivers real results, this one’s a great choice.

Works well!
This gel is super easy to use. It’s a gel consistency so it’s easy to squeeze out and apply. I have to make sure I leave it on for the recommended time in order to see results. The scent is light and disappears once you wash the gel off. It doesn’t take much so the bottle should last for several uses.

It really works
I love using this cuticle softener; it really works. It makes the whole cuticle process easy application, clean, and quick. I love practical products and things, and this fits perfectly into my routine. It doesn't have a strong scent, it's colorless and mess-free, easy to apply, just put some product on your cuticle and await for a few minutes, and it doesn't leave any stains. It's a great value for the size and quantity of product in the package, as you can use it multiple times.

My Experience with Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Re
The gel is super easy to apply, and within a minute my cuticles softened enough that I could gently push them back without any struggle. What impressed me most was how quick the whole process was, it felt like a mini salon treatment at home. My nails instantly looked cleaner and more polished, even before adding nail color. It’s now part of my regular nail routine, and I really appreciate that it saves me time and gives professional-looking results without the effort.

Price is kind of high for this product
I really couldn’t see the difference between using this or showering with hot water. Still, if used on my hands, work better than in my feet. It doesn’t have a strong scent, so that is good. The price point it’s a little in the higher range for what it gives.

Easy and Effective
I LOVE this product. I found myself not wanting to pay for manicures anymore, however I feel like my cuticles need to look good to have a good home manicure, but I hate actually doing my cuticles myself. This stuff work so well and works so fast. I apply it, wait about a minute and then rub it off and push my cuticles back. For a girl that hates to do her cuticles, this makes it so easy.

Removes dead cuticle
This is what I use to keep my cuticles clean and remove build up. I apply the gel and let it sit longer than the directions say and then use a little warm water and work any dead cuticle off and repeat if they are looking gross. It's a great product and budget friendly!
