## Description

desertcart.com: Gena Healthy Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream – Hard as Hoofs Nails Strengthener, Nail Growth & Conditioning for Split & Crack Nails, 1 oz : Pet Supplies

Review: Amazing! - The skin around my fingernails and my cuticles are always dry, seems every few months I go thru a cycle where they are all cracked, peeling and bloody at the same time. During this, my nails will all split or peel and I’m left with such a mess of my hands, it’s embarrassing. Then they all heal, it’s all good for a couple months and then BAM they all go terrible again. I don’t know why, I leave them alone, they just spontaneously get awful. It’s been a lifelong battle. I’ve tried every possible hand cream, cuticle oil, hand mask... everything. I got this cuz it was something I’d not heard of before and it was pretty inexpensive. First of all, this came when I was mid-skin crisis. I used this overnight and put it on extra thick. It didn’t seem to do much, but my fingers were so bad at the time I kept at it. The next night I woke up and they were smoother and no longer hurt, I could visibly see the broken skin healing. Day 3 was even better. In a week, my splitting nails looked smoother and were growing. My nails looked lovely and my skin healed. So I backed off for a few weeks. A month or so later, I could see the early stages of my cuticles splitting. I put this on that night and the next morning it seemed all healed. I’ve come to just put this on every other night before bed and my skin hasn’t been in crisis since I bought it. A few observations: I notice no difference in results whether I lay this on thick or thin. So I use as little as needed. This stuff is thick and it leaves a bit of greasy feeling so I use this overnight only. I used this during the day when I first received it since my cuticles and nails were a mess at the time, but i left finger prints of it everywhere. I just use it at night to avoid that problem. Overall, this has been a game changer. I’m really pleased with the quick results when I notice my cuticles starting to flake and you need so little that it’s quite a bargain. I think this is something I’ll keep on hand for a long time to come.
Review: Amazing - This stuff is amazing. My nails were SEVERELY damaged by gel nails and then a caustic damaging removal by a nail tech. Two weeks of applying this twice daily have strengthened my nails, stopped the peeling and splitting. I am a believer!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this meant for horses**
A: My nail salon uses this on people's feet, after pedicure. I have no idea if it could be used for horses.

**Q: Can you apply nail polish over this product ?**
A: It is a cuticle cream you apply on the base of the nail bed. I would paint your nails then apply this product after your nails are dry. If you apply this before your nail polish will peel off quicker.

**Q: So, can I use it on my horses hooves??**
A: The jar says “the trainer’s choice” & it says the original equestrian formula used by horse trainers.  I’m sure you can but you can probably buy it in larger quantities more economically at a hardware store etc

**Q: can it be used as hand cream?**
A: A little too heave for that. To me would also feel sticky as hand cream but what is left on my fingers I do rub into my hands. I think there are far better creams for hands.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing skin rejuvenator
*by J***N on September 23, 2025*

Amazing skin cream! My boyfriend used this for rough dry hands, but I recently tried it in desperation for a rash-like condition on my arms that seemed like eczema. Was using a steroid cream prescribed for my radiation burns but the steroid cream would calm rash but not eliminate it. This stuff made it disappear in a couple days! My arms and hands look normal again and skin is softer. It is very greasy so I rinse it off palms when I’m done. Small inconvenience for such a great result.
