I've heard the Zoya brand polish remover is ... I hesitate to say hydrating because I'm sure it's not, but at least less drying than other brands of remover. Is this true?

My polish chips like crazy so I'm having to remove it all and re-apply about every 2 days. It's killing my cuticles. Even with cuticle butter and cuticle oil, it's awful.

I'm thinking that switching to a less caustic remover should help. But is the Zoya really better? Are there other cheaper brands that work as well? I can't find the zoya remover anywhere and if I buy online It's going to end up costing me like $17 with shipping, which seems insane for polish remover.

Try using a polish remover that doesn't contain acetone. This is what making your cuticles and around your nail dry. You can find them quite easily and try and get one that contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. I've got a drugstore remover that cost very little but still works very well. Hope this helps :)

I agree with Jessica try out a non acetone one first and see if that helps you may notice it takes a little more effort to remove the polish with a non acetone however deepening on the type of polish and how many coats you have applied. If that doesn't work for you I would check out the Zoya one the majority of nail bloggers I know swear by it.

I really love the Zoya polish remover! I got it for free when they were having a promotion. I love that it also smells nice, and has the flip top dispenser. It can be a bit pricey (my bottle has lasted me a long time...still on the first one, but I don't think I use it as much as you would), so you might be able to find something like it somewhere else....something without acetone like Ashley suggests may work.

In my opinion it doesnt matter what remover you use...you know , since they are all harmful to your nails! Doesnt matter what you use, its harming the nail in one way or another! (:
