Mavala Mava-Flex Serum, 10 ml

Nails that feel stiff and dry, and snap instead of bend? Mava-Flex is a moisturizing serum for dry, hard or thickened nails. It's meant to bring back flexibility. Mavala calls it ideal for toenails, which tend to be the hardest.

Why this one

• Hydrating blend: urea, hyaluronic acid, calcium and vitamin B5, with lemon extract and saccharides.
• Brushed over the whole nail, just twice a week.
• Vs. Nailactan: Nailactan is a daily cream for damaged, brittle nails. Mava-Flex is a twice-weekly serum for hard, dry ones.
