- Easy applicator
- Hydrating formula
- May run out quickly

I started using Onsen’s Nail and Cuticle Cream Treatment in 2023, when I stopped getting manicures at salons and started doing them myself to save money. When buying supplies, I turned to Amazon and was drawn to this treatment's positive reviews — it has a 4.4-star average rating from over 9,210 reviews. Since I started using the cream two years ago, I’ve repurchased it five times — that’s how much I like it.
The formula has Shea and cocoa butter, rice bran and jojoba oils and Japanese flower enzymes to hydrate your nail bed. One of the best things about this cream is that it absorbs virtually upon contact, so you aren’t left with oily hands. The tube also has a super pointed tip, making it easy to dab a little on each cuticle before rubbing it in.
The brand recommends applying this cream two to three times a week to keep your cuticles in good shape. I follow this application rule and can’t remember the last time I had a hangnail. However, I also find that applying it so frequently means that the small tube runs out fairly quickly — one tube lasts me four or five months.
