I put the product into a small dish, I dip my fingers into it and let them soak for about a minute. Then one by one I carefully pulled away the loose cuticles. The product worked very well. That night I noticed that my fingertips felt very scratchy whenever I touched certain types of fabric. Not only had it removed the cuticles, but it also made for a lot of extra "loose" skin all over my fingertips and fingers. If I am to use this again I will do it one finger at a time.<br /> Carefully apply it to just my cuticle areas. When it says skin remover/cuticle remover, it really means it. My fingertips and any area that the product touched felt very dry and "scratchy" for the next week. I ended up massaging Vaseline and Aquaphor into my fingertips and cuticles for the next week or so just to bring them back to "normal". Like I said if you're going to use this product, do one finger at a time, and use a Q-tip or small brush to carefully apply the liquid to the cuticle area only. It is not a thick cream or even a thin cream, it is runny like water, so the best bet is to put it into a little dish, and then apply from there. because if you squeeze it onto your finger you will waste a lot of it, and make a huge mess while you're at it. This product does work, it does do what it says it is made for, but there is a little bit of a learning curve to using it properly, and a little bit of trial and error to getting it right. So if you have horrible cuticles like me this is the product for you, but please heed my warnings. When your manicure is done, your cuticles may benefit from a strong moisturizer such as Vaseline or Aquaphor.
