ExcilorFungal Nail ULTRA Extra Strong Treatment | Extensive or Persistent Infections | Clinically Proven | No Filing | Day 1 Visible Improvement | Nail Polish Compatible | Water-Resistant | 30ml

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!

I've been using for a month and yes it's working. My nail has started to heal after 1 month, still plenty in bottle, easy to apply, I soak my foot to peal off.I'm glad I bought this product and will continue for the recommended 3 months.Good value for money

Product did the job but over a rather long period

I've had a hard job getting rid of fungal nail. I'd tried several treatments with no success until I was given a part used bottle of Excilor which improved it considerably. It took another two bottles and it looks like it has gone but not wanting to risk a return by giving it any respite I decided to get more. Then I saw Excilor Ultra which offered a bigger amount for little more. I assumed it would be pretty much the same but either stronger or maybe with an additional ingredient. It isn't and getting it was IMO at least a big mistake. It seems to be more like a rubbery nail varnish and removing the previous day's coat to retreat is an absolute pain.No nail varnish remover doesn't help. The ony way I could get it off was by using a blade and peeling it. Sent back for refund and back on good old non-Ultra Excior.

I've only been using this a few days so I don't yet know how effective it is. If I remember, I'll update in a couple of months when I should have a lot more to say.Note that this stuff is easy to apply. It's like a watery white nail varnish. It smells sort of salty and minty, unpleasant but not terribly so. Once dry it's shiny, transparent, and a bit sticky - fluff from your socks will stick to it.It's a pain to get off, unless you do it straight after a bath or shower. It doesn't peel off in one nice piece, but lots of little bits. A nail file can be handy to help you peel it off. When I apply it, I paint it over the skin around the nail, which makes it a little easier to pull off.One last tip. There's no point killing off the fungus on your toe nails if you're then going to put your feet into shoes full of fungus. Buy an anti-fungal shoe spray, and spray your shoes or slippers every time you take them off. You can get the spray from Amazon.Fingers crossed all this faff is worth it, and my horrible toes return to normal...UPDATEIt is MUCH easier to remove if you have just had a bath / shower, or you soak your feet in hot water for a couple of minutes. If you don't do this, it's a big faff scraping it off with a nail file. If you don't have time to do your toes straight after your shower, buy a cheap washing up bowl and soak your feet later when it's more convenient.UPDATEI have been using this stuff for 3 weeks now, and I can already see healthy nail growth at the cuticle! It's all pink and normal looking!It will take a long time for the nail to grow all the way out, so I'll keep using this stuff for ages, but I am really pleased that there are already signs of progress. Yey!

This product does exactly what it says well worth the money.Thankyou
