Essence Cuticle Remover Eraser

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Carbomer, Maris Aqua (Sea Water), Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol.


Odvajkada sam se patila sa zanokticama (zapravo generalno sa kožom, ali ne moramo zalaziti u to) i tokom godina sam isprobala najrazličitija sredstva za njihovo uklanjanje. Najnovije za mene je iz Essence ponude.

I've been having issues with cuticles for a long time (with skin in genera, but no need to go there) and during the zears I have tried various cuticle removers. The newest one for me comes from Essence.


Pardonirajte zbog ove slike, ali najbolji način da vam pokažem kako sredstvo deluje je da vam pokažem sa čime se borim


Essence Cuticle Remover Eraser je redak gel na bazi kalijum hidroksida. U suštini, ovo je prilično standardno sredstvo ovog tipa - treba ga naneti na zanoktice, sačekati malo (na bočici piše da je 15 sekundi dovoljno, ali treba malo duže) i potom razmekšanu kožu nežno ukloniti pogurivačem zanoktica. Nisam očekivala ništa posebno (Essence proizvodi za negu mi se nisu pokazali na delu), ali sam bila prijatno iznenađena.

Essence Cuticle Remover Eraser is a thin potassium hydroxide gel. Basically, this is your run of the mill cuticle remover of its type - you should apply it to the cuticles, leave it for a short while (the bottle says it works in 15 seconds, it needs a bit longer than that) and then gently push away softened skin with a cuticle pusher. I didn't expect anything special from this product (Essence care products have not been working for me), but I was quite pleasantly surprised by the result.



Sredstvo zaista deluje brzo (ne treba ga odmah nanositi na obe ruke), iako ne baš za 15 sekundi i odlično služi svrsi. Zanoktice sam sa noktiju veoma lako skinula drvenim štapićem. Na slici iznad možete videti da ja sredstvo nanosim malo i na eponihijum, jer mi je on veći problem od samih zanoktica te sam i odatle zgulila odumrlu kožu. Veoma je važno da se proizvod ne ostavlja da deluje duže od nekoliko minuta jer će početi da razmekšava i nokat i čim završite sa jednom rukom treba ga oprati vodom i sapunom.

Product is indeed working quite fast (you shouldn't apply it to both hands at the same time) and really does the trick. I have easily removed cuticles just with an orangewood stick. You can also see that I applied the product to my eponychium, because I tend to have more trouble with it than cuticles themselves, so I scraped the dead skin from there as well. It is important to note that you shouldn't leave the product on for more than several minutes because it will start to soften your nails as well and you should wash it with soap and water as soon as you have finished removal on one hand.



Rezultat možete videti iznad - zanoktice sa noktiju su ukonjene, kao i odumrla koža eponihijuma. Za kraj je ostalo da samo strićnem zacepljene delove eponihijuma i bočne zanoktice (što ne savetujem da radite sem ako ne znate tačno šta radite i pritom imate odličan alat) i nacapam ulje. Meni nokti rastu brzo, a sa njima i zanoktice, što znači da bih morala da koristim odstranjivač zanoktica svakih 5 dana, ali pošto lak ne menjam tako često (smak sveta je blizu, znam), onda ceo proces ponavljam jednom nedeljno.

You can see the end result in the photo above - cuticles are removed from the nail plate, as is the dead skin from eponychium. I only need to cut the split parts of my eponychium and hangnails (which I don't suggest you do unless you know what you are doing and have really great tools) and moisturize with oil. My nails grow fast, and cuticles follow in suit, which means I should probably use cuticle remover every 5 days, but since I don't change my polish that often (the end is nigh, I know), then I repeat the process once a week.

  2. This looks like a good product. I'll have to see if it's one of the small selection of Essence that I have access to here.

    1. I hope you'll find it. I think its part of their basic line, so it shouldn't be a problem to find in Europe, but I don't know if they have a different selection for America.
