CND Scrub Fresh Surface Cleaner

No, it is a nail surface cleanser and dehydrator. While it removes surface oils and contaminants, it is designed to prep the nail plate for better adhesion of polish, gels, or enhancements rather than to dissolve existing nail color.

While it is essential for gel or acrylic applications to prevent lifting, it is also beneficial for regular polish. Using it to remove natural oils from the nail plate creates a cleaner surface, which can help your standard manicure last longer.

Scrub Fresh is formulated to temporarily dehydrate the surface of the nail plate to ensure product adhesion. Because it is a professional-grade solvent, it is best to avoid getting it on the surrounding skin and to follow up with cuticle oil after your manicure is complete.

Simply saturate a lint-free wipe with the solution and scrub the nail plate thoroughly, focusing on the cuticle area and sidewalls where oils tend to accumulate. Ensure the nail is completely dry before applying your base coat or enhancement.

This size is a professional salon volume, making it a cost-effective choice for frequent users or those who do their own nails regularly. If you are a casual user, this bottle will likely last a very long time, so ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent evaporation.
