Product Information
Full details
Dr. Dana Glycolic Prep for Nails is an essential treatment designed for individuals looking to revive damaged, dull, or post-manicure nails. Its primary benefit is its ability to smooth ridges, remove peeling cells, and restore a natural, healthy sheen through a gentle chemical exfoliation process. While it is highly effective at brightening and resurfacing the nail plate, it is not a replacement for intensive hydration, and users with extremely thin or sensitive nails should monitor their skin's reaction during the initial application.

FAQs
How often should I use this treatment?
For best results, it is recommended to use the pen 1-2 times per week, depending on the severity of the nail damage.
Can I apply nail polish immediately after?
It is best to let the product absorb completely and wash your hands before applying any base coat or nail polish.
Does this product work on toenails?
Yes, it is suitable for both fingernails and toenails to improve texture and shine.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
While the aloe helps soothe the area, the glycolic acid is an active exfoliant. Perform a patch test on a small area if you have highly sensitive skin.
How long does one pen last?
The 1.5ml pen typically lasts for 4-6 weeks of consistent weekly treatment, depending on the frequency of application.
Troubleshooting
Pen does not dispense product upon first use
The pen may require several full turns of the base to prime the brush for the initial application.
Slight tingling sensation during application
A mild tingling is normal due to the glycolic acid; however, if burning or redness occurs, wash the product off immediately with cool water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the pen, twist the base until the solution appears on the brush tip. For optimal results, ensure your nails are clean and free of any polish or oils before application. Apply a thin layer to the nail plate and allow it to dry. After use, replace the cap tightly to prevent the glycolic solution from evaporating or the brush tip from drying out. Store the pen in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the fruit extracts and glycolic acid. This product is compatible with most standard nail care routines but should be kept away from the sensitive skin of the cuticle if you have a history of acid sensitivity.
