Carrie sent me a very generous sample of this product. It smells nice, with the lemon being the first note. Be careful, though, and don't sniff too hard, cuz neem is so earthy and pungent, to my nose. That said, Carrie has performed a very nice balancing act. The yellow balm also feels very nice going on and is readily absorbed. Neem has many noted healing qualities; just a teeny bit is needed. I applied to each nail and rubbed into cuticles and into the nail. Left my nails looking freshly buffed, and it smoothed/soothed/repaired the cuticles. I will be using this regularly. If your cuticles are in need of repair, look no further. It's another great product from Carrie.  |

| I second this. Great product. Far superior to Burt's Bee lemon cuticle IMO. I have terrible cuticles and this is REALLY helping. Can't wait to get the full-size. |

I'm so excited, this is on its way to me right now, but I have a question. When you guys say "repari cuticles," what do you mean? I have rebellious, overly zealous cuticles that tend to grow up half of my nail bed and on the sides as well. If I don't cut them, they turn promptly into hang nails and raggedy skin on the sides of my nails. If I don't get rid of those, the raggedy skin inevitably reaches all the way around my nail bed... I've tried using only cuticle oils and lite buffing, no cutting for months, and it just does not work for me. Now I keep my nails short and always painted with high-quality, non drying, protective polish, and I push the cuticles back with an orange stick after soaking them once every two weeks, cutting the excess. And when I mean excess, I'm saying that the cuticle nipper "fills up" after each nail!

Not sure about "repairing". For me, they get dry and break and bleed  . The lemon-neem moisturizes and "repairs" in that sense. I cut my cuticles every week or so. |

Don't know why I was registered as Guest but anyway that's my experience.

| I had raggedy cuticles since it's dry and winter time, I went right ahead and ordered the full sized balm from Care Kate and my cuticles look nice and healthy now! Definitely a staple for me! |

I love the lemon neem balm. It has softened and smoothed my cuticles. This is something I will order on a regular basis.

If a product exists that can save my cuticles, then there's hope for all my other complaints! |

I have this and very very much like it!
I have the dryest cuticles/hands on the planet (I think all of the oil in my body went to my face). At nighttime I use the balm all over my hands, concentrating on my cuticles.
Great stuff - I will DEFINITELY repurchase. |

| I just received CareKate's Lemon Neem Cuticle Balm. Let's see, how should I put this... it's wonderful! My cuticles get so bad during the winter. They're dry and raggedy and no amount of hand cream makes a difference. I've applied CareKate's balm twice a day yesterday and today and already I can see a difference -- I'm so happy that I've finally found something that works! Thank you, CareKate! |
