Therapy for your hands: Use the NeoStrata Hand and Nail Conditioning Cream daily to help moisturize and protect the hands and nails. This cream is formulated with 8% gluconolactone, Vitamin B Complex Factor and Vitamin E.
  • Gluconolactone is a Poly Hydroxyacid (PHA), the next generation AHA, suitable for all skin types. In clinical studies *, Gluconolactone has been found to provide improvements to aged skin and textural smoothening similar to other AHAs such glycolic acid. With Gluconolactone, skin benefits include skin smoothing, reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, smaller pore size and a more even skin tone. In addition, Gluconolactone is a natural antioxidant and has been shown to enhance the skin's natural defenses against skin irritants such as harsh cleansers and extreme weather.
  • Vitamin B Complex Factor in the Hand and Nail Conditioning Cream helps build higher moisture levels and condition the hands.
  • Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant which helps prevent the oxidative damage to skin caused by environmental factors and free radicals.

This product can be used as needed to moisturize, condition, and protect the hands, or after application of the NeoStrata Nail Conditioning Solution to help hydrate and condition the nail and cuticles.

Therapy for your nails: Use the NeoCeuticals Nail Conditioning Solution to help condition dry, brittle or splitting nails, as experienced in onychoschizia. This new product is formulated with O-Acetyl Mandelic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid antagonist, designed to help promote nail cell retention and to help condition brittle and splitting fingernails. This is the latest technology for effective nail and cuticle therapy.
