Review 1 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
A Miracle
-06.17.13
Quick Take: amazing, moisturizing, sticky, worth the splurge
This stuff is a miracle for my nails. I naturally have terrible cuticles. They get very overgrown very quickly. They also get obscenely dry. I have tried many other products to help this problem. This is the answer! I've been using it for less than a week and I have amazing results. My cuticles are well moisturized and my nails are shiny!
I don't typically spend a ton of money on products, especially if there is a drugstore dupe to be found. This is worth the splurge. Plus, it will last forever since you only use a tiny amount each time.
I gave it 4/5 because I actually don't care for the smell. It's supposed to be apricot scented (YUM!) but all I ever smell is a overpowering rose scent.
Even though its pretty thick and semi-greasy, it absorbs pretty quickly so long as you rub it in well. I use it every night before bed and I am able to use my iPad about 5 minutes later without making my iPad greasy and disgusting. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants shiny nails and soft cuticles.

Review 2 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
Happy I splurged for it!
-06.15.13
Quick Take: luxurious iconic well performing!
Let's face it, it's a splurge to spend this amount on cuticle cream. But I'm so happy I did. I really love this product.
I love everything about it - the color of the product, it's texture, the packaging, but mostly, no hands down my 100% favorite thing about it is - the scent! I'm a little crazy that way.
Having been born the year it was created, I'm sure various relatives have had this on their hands when they passed me around between them to he held :)
I wish I could describe it, but it's unique and not at all unpleasant. Maybe it smells the way old fashioned lipsticks used to smell? Either way I LOVE IT!!
All kidding aside, the product really performs well, very moisturizing, and as long as you rub it in very well, it doesn't leave any greasy residue.
(Which can be a problem because after you spend 5 mins rubbing something into your fingers, you don't want to leave greasy marks everywhere).
I would call this product iconic, and I'm so happy I bought it!
I'm sure it will last me forever, so if you worry about spending the $$ for it, you probably won't have to buy a second one!

Looking for this all my life
-06.12.13
Quick Take: excellent
This cream has changed my nails completely. The redness in my cuticles is gone, as are hangnails and nail ridges. I no longer use cuticle scissors. My nails look well all the time.

Review 4 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
Great!
-06.11.13
Quick Take: amazing, very moisturizing, skin saver
I have eczema on my fingers and when it flares up its pretty bad for a long time. Not much helps I have tried ALOT of diff products. To this point prescription meds are all that help and not that quickly. I have very dry lips from using Accutane twice. And bought the lip version of this and it is a life saver so I thought if that was so amazingly wonderful then this would probably be as well. I was right.
This is thick and once it absorbs in it helps clear the dry cracked bleeding skin very quickly (without script meds).
I will buy again and again. Have bought one as a gift for my mom she loves it to. Worth the money if ur fingers dry out and crack

Review 5 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
-06.03.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, fragrant, thick, creamy
I consider many product 5-star quality, but I must say that this cream is definitely one of the few.
Smell: The cream smells delicious. It's lightly fruity, but still very pleasant.
Consistency: The cream is thick and sticky upon first applying it to your nails. Give it a few minutes to dry and it turns into a silky texture. Because the cream is very thick, you only need a tiny bit to do the job. The container will go a very long way!
Price: Yes, this is a twenty-five dollar nail cream, but you get a ton of product and only need a bit as I stated above. It's definitely worth the money, hands down.
Packaging: The packaging is very cute, but also sturdy. I enjoy that the container feels expensive. It's definitely a bit heavy for the size, and the nice "CD" logo adorns the screw-top lid.
Use: Before bed, I use a tiny bit of this cream on each cuticle and massage in carefully. After waiting for the cream to dry, I apply a hand cream. My nails are glossy and moisturized by the morning.

Review 6 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
Magical
-06.02.13
Quick Take: creamy, highly moisturizing, for night use
I have chronically terrible cuticles and after even 1 use this makes them look flawless. I think if I remembered to use this every night I probably wouldn't have to do any other cuticle care. It is sticky, but that is why it says to apply it only before bed. I usually put it on 10 or 15 minutes before bed and then it is all soaked in. It is important to know a little goes a LONG way and not to overapply. This jar will last me years so I don't think it is over-priced at all.

Review 7 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
quick results
-05.16.13
Quick Take: rich, emollient
I have very dry, cracking nails and hangnail prone, dry cuticles. I've tried every drug store cuticle cream with little results. This shows improvement after first use. Best to use overnight since this is very emollient-with cotton gloves. Expensive but worth it since it produces results.

Review 8 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
-05.11.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, emollient, effective
I have been using this cream for over 6 months and it has helped my cuticles tremendously. I used to have dry, overgrown cuticles. This cream prevents overgrowth and keeps my cuticles thoroughly moisturized. The only con is the packaging. I wish it were in a squeeze tube so I wouldn't have to stick my finger in. I plan to repurchase because it works.

Review 9 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
Great cream!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: effective
My mom bought me some of this 30 years ago. Back then my nails were already great, so I didn't use it faithfully although I loved the apricot scent. Now that I'm much older I'm having a lot of trouble with my nails so I bought this. It's nearly identical to the product of 30 years ago--rich, emollient, and effective, although the scent is much fainter. My peeling, weak nails are finally starting to grow out again and have stopped breaking. My only complaint is that there used to be a plastic inner lid with a little lift-up tab that came with this to keep the product fresh. This time all I got was a very flimsy piece of tinfoil. I tried to keep the cream covered with that, but it worked its way into the cream and got torn up. I feel cheated that the lid is missing, especially considering the price of the product. Other than that, I would recommend this with 5 stars. It's not only effective--which most products that claim to strengthen your nails are not--it is also a safe product. If you read the ingredients, there are no toxic/harmful ingredients in it. If you're discouraged about your nails, try this. You only need the tiniest bit on each nail, and then you rub it in thoroughly over the nail bed, on the nail itself, and on the cuticle around the nail. Give it a few minutes to absorb into your skin, and it will disappear, leaving your nails and cuticles soft and hydrated. I love it!

Most wonderful cuticle cream
-05.03.13
I have been wanting this for a long time. I wanted to use up my other nail stuff before buying this cream. I love it! I think it is definitely worth it if you can afford. I will be buying this item from Dior from now for my cuticles.

Worth the money

Quick Take: luxurious
I have tried many cuticle oils and nail creams and this Dior one is the best product to use for moisturizing your cuticles and nails. I apply this every night and my cuticles look fantastic immediately. I will never run out of this nail cram because I will be repurchasing .

Review 13 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
Cuticles Look Brand New
-04.22.13
Quick Take: luscious, hydrating, worth the money, best on the market
When looking for a cuticle cream at Sephora, I was disappointed that there were only 2 or 3 brands at first. When the associate showed me the Dior cuticle cream, I was astounded at how great it was when I tried it there in the store. My cuticles were instantly hydrated and looked like I came out of the salon. I use this every day to keep them moist. And since you don't use that much, this will last you for such a long time! Well worth my $24.

Review 14 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
HG cuticle cream!
-04.20.13
I love this creme! Love the color, scent, packaging..everything about it. Quickly became HG. I can't speak to nail strength yet but as far as moisturizing it keeps my cuticles super soft and hydrated all day. I was using LUSH lemony flutter before this and didn't think it could get much better.. but this wayy way outlasts that one.
It IS sticky but I find it sinks in rather quickly without being oily, definitely a manicure in a jar :)

Soft and Creamy
-04.20.13
I finally got this product. I researched reviews and they all seem to be positive. I have bought other similar products but this one by far is the best. I will definitely be purchasing this again in the future. A rich, creamy salve that nourishes and conditions cuticles.

Fabulous stuff!
-04.20.13
Quick Take: rich, silky, soothing
I have the worlds driest and roughest peeling cuticles. I pick them and its a mess. This stuff is crazy pricey but nothing has ever smoothed my cuticles like this. A little goes a long way and it smells great. Still can't believe I spent $35 on cuticle cream, but it works!

Review 17 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
AMAZING!!!
-04.18.13
Quick Take: incredible, works fast, easy to use
I have MS and work in a laboratory in which I have to continually wear and change glove. The MS medications and work wear are a double wammy on my nails. I am a Dior product fan and I'm loving it even more after ONE try of this product. My nails were weak, constantly pealing and my cuticles atrocious. I swear to you after using this product ONE TIME, I could see an incredible difference, By the end of the week I could even file my nails without them splitting up. Now they are hard as rocks and beautiful. Just a dab of this product on each nail now once or twice a week, my nails and cuticles are perfect!

Review 18 for Crème Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails
Awesome for cuticles, but my nails don't notice!
-04.12.13
This cream has done wonders for my winter cuticles and it has made my nail beds nice and pink. In fact, my husband thought I had a french manicure :). However, my peeling nails continue to peel and break. I was hoping this cream would help that, too. Yes, this stuff is pricey, but you use very little when you apply it. I apply it every night. It is also sticky, but that does not bother me. I would not recommend putting it on during the day.

-04.10.13
Good smell, but too thick too use. Also, don't remove the cover layer of this product! Because it's round and open jar, it's easy to spoil if it contact with air, your hands too much. Wash your hands before use it.

This stuff works but I don't think its a miracle cream or anything. I probably would not repurchase because of the price. The good thing is that a little goes a long way. I won't need to repurchase for quite some time (year or so).
