Thymol Nail and Cuticle Oil, Infused with Thyme Extract 1 fl oz | Nail Oil with Dropper

I have had fungus off and on under one or more of my fingernails for more than 30 years. A doctor had been prescribing 4% thymol in Drysol which I had been using for years. I was told Drysol is what is found in deodorants to keep you dry. The Thymol didnt really do the job completely, but it helped. The solution had to be specially compounded by a pharmacy. A couple months ago when I removed my nail polish I saw that 5 nails had fungus under them. I tried to refill the Thymol in Drysol but was told by the pharmacy it was no longer available. I decided to go all out and try everything I could find on Amazon that sounded good from the reviews. I ordered two products: Thymol by Amoresse and Fungus Stop - total cost about $45 plus shipping. First I used an emory board on each of the affected nails (a different board for each nail) and filed those nails down to nubs even exposing as much as I could of the skin under each nail. They looked hideous but I was desperate. I DID NOT use nail polish at all. I used the two products religiously, twice a day under my nails and on top of my nails and around the cuticles. The Thymol seemed to dry out the skin around the nails but the Fungus Stop helped w/ that as it is a has a oilier consistency. . In addition, I applied Vicks Vapo Rub (but didnt remember to do this every day), AND every night I put peroxide under and on top of the nails and around the cuticles. I used a different side of a Q tip for each nail so as not to contaminate between nails. And LAST and really important I kept rubber gloves under my bathroom sink and under the kitchen sink. I wore them when I washed my face and whenever I was at the kitchen sink. I even tried wearing them in the shower, but water got inside the gloves even when I put rubber bands around them to hold them tight to my arms, so I gave up on that. I used hand sanitizer to wash my hands when necessary. As my nails started to grow out , I could see they still had fungus so again filed them down w/ a different emory board for each nail -- very important to not use the same emory board for nails w/ fungus because you never know if the fungus on each nail is exactly the same. I didnt want to take a chance after doing all the above. And I repeat, no nail polish the whole time I was doing the above. After about a month, I noticed the Fungus Stop said to use only for a month so I stopped using that. Even though I could not see any sign of fungus on any of the nails, I continued with the Thymol twice a day and the peroxide at night. It's been about another 1/2 month and my nails look GREAT. They have grown out and not a bit of fungus, ridges, lifing or thickness. For special occasions I will put nail polish on but then take it off the next day. I still use the Thymol but only once a day . I still use the rubber gloves in bathroom and kitchen. I hope this review helps others who have this problem.

I bought this product a few yrs ago to treat an issue on a toe. It worked well once you get over the initial sting and the fragrance is strong. This year I got bit like crazy from mosquitos. On a whim I thought to use it on them since I’ve read the benefits of thyme oil on bites plus its antibacterial benefits. I noticed that when applied that my bites were far less itchy and healed a lot quicker than if I used something else. Prob after a couple of days, I barely noticed the itch from the bug bite and the swelling was pretty much gone. A little bit does go a long way so don’t go crazy with the dropper since this stuff is expensive. Again the smell is strong at first but well worth it vs the agony of a mosquito bites.

Does not work, bought 4 bottles in total. Don’t waste your money.

This stuff works! I’ve had problems nails (and I am not kidding) since the 90’s when harsh chemicals were used in the nails salons. I was young and didn’t know how damaging it was! I had separation from the nail plate and thickening under the nail. Over the years I tried many different ointments and went to numerous dermatologists (spent a lot of money!) and the problem never completely went away. It would look better then come back, sometimes affecting more nails. One Derm told me “at least you can hide it by painting them” (what an idiot!!) others said “trim nail back; out ointment under; one even suggested removing the nail surgically. Holy crap I ran out of there! Needless to say I’ve been frustrated, disappointed, and embarrassed as a woman especially to not have nice fingernails. Every so often I would check to see if there was anything new to try. I also hated going tot he salon, not only do they not care about the health of your nails, I know they would talk about how bad my nails were! I started using these drops and could tell a difference in my nails when I changed my nail polish. The nail is growing out healthy! (The drops don’t smell good at all but I just wipe off any excess and it’s not bad. Also at first I had some light stinging but don’t have that anymore.) That has kept me using them once or twice a day since I ordered them. I have kept my nails short and scraped away any debris under my nails weekly. Although nails are not completely clear, I expect within the month they will be. Thank you for making this product available!! It works!!!!

This product has a strong, unpleasant smell. My guess is that the smell is from the chemical PCMX (Chloroxylenol). Even after washing the product off, you can still smell it. Maybe it works, but the smell may be too strong for you if using on a fingernail. If you do use this, be sure to not get this product anywhere near your eyes, as PCMX is a category 1 *eye irritant,* so be careful if using on fingernails that could come in contact with your eyes. Also, PCMX may possibly cause liver damage. There "are" other alternatives out there, but be aware that a *yeast/bacteria* nail infection, like onycholysis, is different from a *fungus* nail infection, like onychomycosis. It's important to read about them both and determine which one you have, as they require different treatments. If you can tolerate it, this product should work well if you determine you have onycholysis, as it's a 4% thymol solution mixed with alcohol, which is most often recommended for onycholysis. Good luck everyone :)
