'My 50-year-old nails look younger': This strengthener is just $5
Loaded with keratin, this treatment gives weak nails the boost they need to become strong and resilient.
Every year brings more fabulousness — wisdom, adventures and priceless experiences. But let’s be honest, aging has its little quirks. Wrinkles and dry skin? Totally expected. But brittle nails? Now that can slow you down. But there's a solution Amazon shoppers swear by: Nail-Aid Keratin 3-Day Growth Nail Treatment. Rave reviewers say it can make your nails stronger — and it's just $5 at Amazon.
Packed with keratin, this clear, quick-drying solution can be worn alone under your favorite color while making your nails stronger.
No one has time for weak nails, but as we get older, it's one of those things we have to deal with. This treatment can carry some of that load. It's loaded with keratin — the superhero protein that toughens up your nails. It sinks into soft, fragile nails, fortifying each layer to minimize splitting, peeling and breakage. It also contains nourishing ingredients like vitamin E to hydrate dry nails and vitamin B5 to help lock in that moisture to reduce the risk of cracking and chipping.
With consistent use, it promises to give weak nails a boost to become strong and resilient — with noticeable results in as little as three days. It's a clear, quick-drying solution that can be worn alone for a subtle sheen or you can wear it under your favorite color of nail polish.
More than 35,000 shoppers rave about this nail treatment.
"My 50-year-old nails look younger, feel stronger, and look shinier!" wrote a rave reviewer. "I only applied 2 coats in this photo. I love the clear, clean manicure look. But may try nail polish over this! Love it!"
"The older I get, the more brittle and weak my nails get," another five-star fan shared. "This product actually improved them. It’s not perfect, of course, but I could really tell the difference."
"This absolutely does work!" gushed an over-the-moon reviewer. "My entire life I have had the worst nails that split, peel and bend. I work daily with my hands in water. I have had to wear acrylics, dips etc because it was painful when my nails ripped into my skin. I started using this as directed for over a month and saw results as my nails grew out. The best hands down!"
Some shoppers say it could be improved.
"The only con is you are supposed to apply every 3 days for best results," wrote one shopper. "That's a bit much for me so I only do 1x a week. Takes a bit longer but does still give results."
Another shopper wrote: "My one complaint is that the brush applicator is too short for the contents of this bottle. This makes it hard to use a significant portion of the bottle."
With the help of Nail-Aid, older nails bounce back by sealing in moisture to stop brittle nails from breaking and splitting
