This product works well and helps to get rid of hangnails since you aren’t needing to cut cuticles

This cuticle remover works well if you have raggedy cuticles or ones that extend on the nail regardless of how often you push them back. It can be difficult to get the timing right for it to work. Follow the directions so you won't experience irritation.

I bought this years ago when I first got into doing my nails. This cuticle remover softens the skin quickly and does not leave a residue. You only need a little bit too so you’re not wasting product.

Been using for years. Easily gets rid of dead, dry cuticle that has overgrown over the nail with the help of a pusher or bamboo stick.

i love this stuff! it softens my cuticles well and quickly so that i can push them back/remove when i need to freshen up my nails between salon appointments. sometimes the dispenser gets alittle jammed with product, but a toothpick easily fixes it.

Damaging and drying

2 months ago
It states on the package to be careful. I used this twice before home manicures and my cuticles haven’t ever been the same. It’s very drying and I think there are probably better products out there that won’t do this kind of damage.

Difficulty in Reading Instructions

2 months ago
Was recommended to this product, so first time I have used it. I have had great difficulty in reading the instructions for this item. The writing is so small I had to get a magnifying glass from my husbands desk - I still had problems. In the end I had to ask my daughter when she popped in to read them to me! I usually only need glasses to read and have no problem but on this occasion it was beyond belief the size of the print. What a performance it has been - fingers crossed this actually works!
    • Yes,
    • I recommend this product.

    I wouldn't say this is saloon quality but it works well enough for at home use when you're not rushed for time doing your own nails.

    Not great

    I don’t think this worked very well. It made my cuticles mushy but didn’t help in the process of removing them at all. It softened them for sure but the name is misleading

    Softened but didn’t remove

    10 months ago
    I used as directed and while it did soften and make my cuticles easier to remove, it didn’t actually remove the cuticle. I was impressed that the formula didn’t irritate my sensitive skin or have any overpowering smell, but I found the applicator tip a little too large. The bottle also doesn’t come full

    Overall it’s okay to try it but don’t expect fast results!

    11 months ago
    There’s really no scent with this product. The packaging was normally secured. Drying time do take a minute to succeed. The effectiveness is just okay because I still had some cuticles that arrived.

    Dissolvant instantané de cuticules, Sally Hansen

    12 months ago
    Je n’ai pas été impressionnée par ce produit. Trop liquide à mon avis, aqueux aussi contrairement aux autres produits pour les cuticules que j’ai utilisé. L’embout de la bouteille qui sert d’applicateur ne permet pas de bien maîtriser la quantité du produit qui sort. Je trouve que c’est un produit inutile pour moi, je ne rachèterai pas.

    Didn’t work for me

    a year ago
    I didn’t really think this made much of a difference to me. I have always had problems with my cuticles and I wanted to try to fix them myself. I don’t feel like this did much more than just cutting them without any additional product.

    We appreciate you taking the time to try our Instant Cuticle Remover. We are sorry to hear this product did not make much of a difference for you. This is not the experience we hope for you to have, and we will be sure to share your feedback with the appropriate teams. We suggest trying our Problem Cuticle Remover instead. Free of harsh chemicals, this gentle cuticle remover gel features soothing Aloe and a pH-balanced formula that helps dissolve overgrown cuticles for a polish-ready nail. Break the gel formula up in your fingers and gently work it into your nails to nourish while removing stubborn cuticle build-up. It doubles as a cuticle remover cream and base coat for protecting damaged nails before polishing them up- making it perfect for when time is tight!

    Disappointed

    a year ago
    I usually like Sallly Hansen nail products but unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with this. It was more runny than I expected and didn't absorb into the nail bed as much as other similar products I've tried.

    Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover

    a year ago
    This bottle may be small, but you don't need a lot of the product each time. Sally Hansen is inexpensive and does a good job at removing cuticles. I just follow the directions that's on the bottle and use a gentle scraping tool to remove the dead skin. This is a nail prep must for whenever I do my dip nails. It helps the dip last longer on my nails. I try to keep the same routine even when I am not adding anything to my natural nails, just for my nail routine.

    Didn’t find it did much at all even though I really wanted this product to work. I do my nails at home and wanted something to help alleviate and remove cuticles. It softens them a bit but I can do that by soaking in warm water.

    Not impressive

    a year ago
    I was not impressed by this product. I feel like I can use cuticle oil and push back the cuticle with the same effect as this product. It does have a lot of product for the price but again, not worth it in my opinion.

    Works ok.. not the best but good for its price it only works if you push back your cuticles and if you have a lot of dead skin on your Cuticles. So it’s really not the best but it mostly works.

    Affordable, works, but super drying

    a year ago
    This is a good affordable option to remove overgrown cuticles, it’s painless and works quickly and doesn’t have a bad smell. On the other hand, it dries skin out so badly, even if you follow instructions and remove the product quickly. I also find that the squeeze bottle applicator dispenses too much.

    Causes terrible lifting

    a year ago
    I’ve been doing my own nails for years . (Dip) I’ve always seen people online using a cuticle remover so I figured I’d give it a try . .. bad idea … this product caused serve lifting to the point we’re my nails wouldn’t last more than a day or 2 . I couldn’t figure out what was causing it . I thought it was the dip liquids then the dips . After about 3 weeks of nails popping off I did a quick google search and lo and behold it’s a known fact cuticle remover causes lifting , moral of the story is do your research first . Lol If you don’t plan on doing any enhancements ( acrylic , dip , poly gel ) this product might work for you I don’t know how it would hold up with gel polish but if your just trying to clean up the nails and make them look neat this Product would be amazing for that
