Fabulous cuticle oil

7 months ago
I bought this two days ago to replace NailTek tea tree nail oil, i was looking for a nice, fruity smelling oil that was actually moisturizing, as i do my nails quite a lot. This oil is divine. Leaves fingers soft and not freasy and the scent is fabulous. This us my go-to from now on!

Huge hard cuticles gone

10 months ago
I was a nail and cuticle biter for a long time, my skin was dry and hard and horrible, with painful cracks. After several weeks of use, they are almost back to normal. I will continue and maybe one day I will have beautiful nails!

yes, I recommend this product.

I bought Esse Apricot cuticle oil because my nails dry out so much especially in the winter. After using it 3 days in a row with bare unpolished nails, I hadn't noticed they had turned a deep orange/red color. I love Essie products but was overwhelmed and scared when I noticed them thinking it interfered with my medicine.

My nails texture, color, thickness and growth have improved greatly. Happy scent. No staining. With consistent use and lotion you are likely to see a difference too.

Does not work at all

2 years ago
It smels good, it absorbs quickly, but that's it! It does nothing to my cuticules. They stay so dry when I started to use it. Pure jojoba oil 100% better and efficient. This Essie cuticule oil does not do what it promises at all and that is to protect cuticles from dryness and provides nourishing moisture. I wasted my money when I bought it.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Nails turning orange

2 years ago
I'm a recovering nail biter, and one of my strategies to heal and maintain my nails is to use cuticle oil as often as possible. I do love the formula, my cuticles have never looked or felt better, but I've noticed my nails have taken on the orange color from the oil. It doesn't bother me when I have them covered with an opaque polish, but with sheer polish or natural nails, they just look permanently dirty. I'll finish this bottle, but after that I wont be repurchasing

Please sell larger bottles

2 years ago
I love this stuff, i use it as a whole hand / skin moisturizing oil. Can you olease start selling this in 500ml bottles!!!! Please!!!! Smells great, absorbs fast and is non greasy (as an oil can be). Nothing hydrates my chepped skin as great as this. Need bugger bottles for uses outside of nails. 100% appricot oil just isnt the same.

yes, I recommend this product.

I Too Got Orange Yellow Nails

3 years ago
There definitely is a dye in this cuticle oil to start staining my nails after about a week using 3-4 times a day. They turned orange-yellow tinge and definitely noticeable outside especially with using gel setter top coat. This should definitely be pink tinged or a nail bed color or colorless. There must be a coloring or mango fragrance with a dye in it, to say there is no dye is misleading, my nails tinted the same color as the liquid in the bottle. Disappointed because it did help my nails but color is definitely staining nails with repeated frequency.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Got orange nails - looked like a nicotinist!

3 years ago
Used this nail oil most everyday as recommended since. After a while I noticed my nails had started turn orange and it looked really bad. Like they had turned yellow/ orange due to smoking. It took me reading other reviews here to get that I was not the only one this have happened to by this product. Do not buy!

no, I do not recommend this product.

Instant difference

4 years ago
Bought this this weekend cause I was tired of having dried out and peeling nails. The first time I put it on, i instantly saw a difference. Hasn’t stained any of my towels and does absorbed quickly once rubbed in. I’m excited to see what this does after a week of use. Also have light skin by the picture and also doesn’t stain my skin or leave a yellow tone.

yes, I recommend this product.

Bye bye unsightly cuticles

Best cuticle product I've ever used!

6 years ago
This was featured in InStyle magazine Best Beauty Buys 2018, so I've been using this now for over a year and I love is so much that I bought an extra bottle for travel. I use it am and pm and my nails never looked better. honestly, I don't understand the negative reviews. It looks like these women weren't using the oil properly. You need to massage it in for best effect. Trust me you will love this product and be hooked! I can't live without it.

yes, I recommend this product.

Change in formula = change of heart...

7 years ago
I'm so sorry to say that the change in formula has killed my love... I luuved this oil: it smells great and works really well. I've been addicted to it for several years. The new bottle I just bought in Feb. definitely goes on orange (someone here likened it to pizza grease - exactly!) and discolors any towels or fabrics you accidentally get it on. While it still seems to work/smell the same I cannot get past the color and the need to be so careful about what I touch. I don't understand why you needed to change a perfectly wonderful product that now I won't buy. So sad!

no, I do not recommend this product.

Not the same! Will not buy

7 years ago
I loved this product with its old formulation and am not happy with the new formulation or packaging. Apricot scent is non-existent and effect not the same. It is shocking that LOreal would change such a winning formula. This was the only reputable Cuticle Oil worth cost and use. I will revert back to CND Cuticle Oil. Thanks for reading.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Be careful if you have a nut allergy.

I bought this product because i was interested in cuticle care. I used it daily for about a week and I noticed little tiny bumps all over my fingers. I thought it might be a fluke so i stopped for two weeks to clear it up and I tried it again with the same issue :( I really wanted to love this product but it looks like I'm allergic

no, I do not recommend this product.
