I usually purchase the Essence bottle of cuticle remover but they didn't have it in stock the one day when I went to buy some. I thought I'd give this a bash instead, seeing as how I really needed one.

To be honest, although it smells very nice, it wasn't nearly as effective as the other cuticle remover and the tube is also quite wasteful as too much comes out when you squeeze it.

I wouldn't buy this product again.

I find it quite hard to find a good cuticle remover, my mom is a beautician so she has always had the professional ones that work like a charm.

I was excited when I saw this essence one and this is what I thought about it:

Firstly the tube is extremely difficult to use, as when you squeeze it too much product comes out so it wastes quite a lot.

Secondly I also found that it takes longer than the 2 to 3 minutes to start loosening the cuticles, that being said after about 5 minutes it works really well, loosening up the cuticles and making it easier to cut and push the cuticles for a perfect mani or pedi.
