Extra Strong AntiFungal Nail Treatment Repair for Fingernails and Toenails, White, 30 millilitre

About six weeks since purchasing - daily use. One toe is almost completely fungal free (but was much less infected). The other is greatly improved. You can see on the photo there’s only a small area left, and that whole nail was fungal and discoloured. I’ve tried all sorts over 10/11 years, different creams and even prescribed medication. This has been the only thing to have ever fully worked, and it’s so simple to apply. Just painting a toenail, no plasters, scraping, filing, or soaking the nail beforehand. Touch dry within minutes. Product itself has a medicinal smell to it and paints on white. You only need a thin layer. It’s a smallish bottle for the cost, but you don’t use much per application and it has a two year shelf life. Dries clear with a rubbery texture which feels like it might come off or is tacky. As long as it’s clear, it’s dry, not tacky, and won’t come off. I walk 17/18000 steps a day for work, and it doesn’t rub off on my socks. Isn’t too difficult to remove - after a shower or bath is definitely easier, but unnecessary. Rubbing hard along the cuticle with my thumb I’ve found will lift it, and then it peels straight off like a layer of film. It doesn’t irritate your skin if you do get it on, but it does make it harder to peel off. I wouldn’t leave it on skin though, just in case you have a reaction. I do it at night, before I settle down. Give it a good few minutes to properly dry before putting socks on or getting into bed. Good luck, hope you get decent results too. I’m going to continue to treat both toes at least until the bottle runs out. I’ll update if the results change.

I have suffered with two heavily infected fungal toenails for almost 20 years (left little toe and the one next to it), that would spread to the surrounding skin causing recurring athlete's foot that I would treat, it would clear, and then come back, with the nails as the source of reinfection. The nails would become very thick and brittle, splitting right down the centre the whole length of the nail over the nail bed causing bleeding and pain. I tried products prescribed by the GP that you paint on and then file down after a week for a six month period. Didn't even touch the infection. I tried a range of other Excilor products. None of them worked, either. In pure desperation, I ended up buying this. The instructions say to use it for a month, but if you have a heavy infection, it is going to take MUCH longer. I have been using it for 8 months now, and one nail is clear: it went a bit strange and then completely came off. I kept treating the area, and it grew back healthy! I'm onto my second bottle (the original hadn't finished, but it becomes less effective and takes longer to dry with time). My little toenail split and fell off a couple of weeks ago. It takes ages to grow back, so I'm hoping it is going to come back healthy. I will keep treating until this bottle runs out. It is easy to use - have a shower, dry your feet, paint it on and let it dry. The following day, peel it off in the shower (it peels of very easily in warm water) and repeat the treatment. You MUST, however, remember to use it every day because this stuff is not fungicidal - it just stops it growing and the infection is displaced by new nail growth (unless the infected nail simply drops off like mine did). When you forget the treatment, the fungus will recover.

I have only used this for a few days, so don't yet know how it works. It suggests using for three months, but I find it difficult to remove every evening, so not sure I will be able to keep it up that long. When coated, the nail feels rubbery and this should be removed and replaced every 24 hours. However, I soak my toe nails before hand, but still struggle to get it off. I have used scissors to try and scrape it, then pull off the stretchy coating. Not too bad on the large nail, but very difficult on my smaller ones. May end up reverting to a more normal product that you leave on.

I started using this in March on a very mild case. I used it carefully every day - following the instructions to the letter. Unlike others I found it easy to apply and easy to remove and apply again. All I can say is that it did not make the issue any worse but it definitely did NOT bring about any signs of improvement. It was like applying a latex paint to your nail which you remove the next day. I don’t fee their was any ingredient that was tackling the problem. It is now June and I’ve had enough - I have started using Curanail (having had success with this before) immediately I feel like it’s making a difference. It feels like it is getting to the heart of the issue instead of just masking it. Although it will take time I feel Curanail will sort my problem out - I am annoyed I wasted time with this product and would ideally like my money back... Needless to say I do not recommend…

I am two months in to treating infected nails on my feet. I have used Ultra and the standard Excilor clear liquid. I prefer Ultra I think. Started in June this year, now mid-Aug. Bought my first bottle of this from a local pharmacy for 25 quid, whereas on Amazon it was 16! This Ultra looks a milky colour and smells of mint. When you paint it on it is white but clears to transparent as it dries. Takes c.10 mins for this. Very little tingling and generally no side effects other than 1) the infected nails brighten up and look nice and pink when you pull the coating off next day, except where there is fungus in the nail. 2) after 6 weeks I noticed that the treated nails seemed to have been thinned a bit (no filing of the nails done). I recommend putting it on quite thick since this makes it easier to pull off the next day. I started because my big toenails and the second toe on one foot were obviously infected although not to a really bad degree (like some of the photos on here!) My strategy was to treat all nails on both feet in case there was infection I could not see. No effect noticed on any of the unaffected nails after 6 weeks, so I am now concentrating on the bad three. The second toe nail came off one day when removing the Excilor coating and is regrowing from the bottom out. The big toenails appear to be growing on and slowly the yellow section can be clipped off, leaving healthy pink looking nail behind. I have not come to the end of the treatment, since neither 3 months have passed nor has the yellowed parts of the nails fully grown out. Therefore I cannot offer an opinion whether this stuff "works" in the absolute sense, all I can say at the mo is that it is doing what the manufacturer says to expect and it looks like progress. I expect to continue for at least another month. I have also tried the standard clear liquid version which seems to be presented as implicitly weaker than Ultra and requires two applications a day. No coating to peal off. You can either paint it on thinly (recommended) or flooded on allowing the liquid to gather at the edges and under the top of the nail. This seems a desirable thing and that is why I got it. However a possible side effect of this method is that it irritated the skin around the nails and made it quite tender. Since the fungal spores could easily be hiding there, this is not necessarily a bad thing. But my toes did become quite sore and so I stopped doing this. They recovered quite quickly. I'll update this in a month or two. UPDATE: It's now early March of the following year. My toenails look pretty healthy and the infected sections are almost completely grown out. Last year I carried on putting on the Ultra everyday up until some time in November – that meant buying a second bottle. I stopped because I got bored with doing the application every day (and busy a work). Then I just kind of forgot about them... Very occasionally I used some of the clear liquid version to soak up under each infected nail, but this was not a regular thing. Then I really forgot about it all, until the last week or so when I noticed my toes again. I am really pleased to see how the formerly partially detached nails are reattached. On one side about 30% of the nail was detached like this. Now there remains a relatively narrow white line of previously infected nail still to grow out on each toe, but I expect this to be gone soon enough. I think leaving my toes alone was an important part of allowing the nail to reattach. Poking and pulling at them was inhibiting the regrowth process. Also, the Ultra (latex) one makes the surface of the nail look a bit rough and raggedy during treatment, with the constant putting on and pulling off of the latex-based treatment. I am pleased to see that is growing out too, being replaced by normal shiny healthy looking nail surface. I am very pleased, especially given the really gloomy prognosis given on medical websites for clearing fungal nail infections. Good job, Excilor!

Goes on white then dries clear. I'm not entirely sure how well it worked on me. And you are supposed to be able to find a corner and peel it off. I had to pick it off in bits so all a bit fiddly and messy.

I've been using this religiously for the past three months as I've been suffering with fungal toenails for the past year and this has been the first product I've tried that I'm actually seeing results with. It's easy to apply at night and wash of in the bath/shower the following evening. I'm seeing healthy nail growth come through and hoping they will be grown out by the summer.

Tried this and persevered for what seemed like eternity- 3mths. Not worth the time and effort. found it easy to apply but was really annoyingly tough to remove. Saw no change though whole process . Now I've stopped , infection looks worse than ever. Would not recommend. If you really want to clear a nail fungal infection , then like me speak to your doctor and they can prescribe medication/ tablets.
