FAQs
How often should I use the KIKO Milano Nail Recovery Serum?
You can use the serum daily or as needed. It's particularly beneficial before and after manicures to help prepare and recover your nails and cuticles.
Can I apply nail polish immediately after using the serum?
Yes, the water-based formula absorbs relatively quickly. Allow a minute or two for it to fully absorb before applying nail polish for best results.
What are the main active ingredients?
The serum is enriched with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera, known for their nourishing and hydrating properties.
Is this serum suitable for very damaged or brittle nails?
While it helps to nourish and hydrate weakened nails, for severe damage, you might need a more intensive treatment. This serum is excellent for regular maintenance and preventing dryness.
Does the serum contain alcohol?
The product description does not specify alcohol content, but it is described as water-based and enriched with hydrating ingredients.
How long does one bottle typically last?
With daily use of a small amount per nail, a bottle should last several weeks to a couple of months, depending on application frequency and amount used.
What does 'pearlescent white beads' mean for the product?
These are small, cosmetic beads within the serum that contribute to its unique appearance and help ensure even distribution during application. They dissolve or integrate into the serum as you massage it in.
Troubleshooting
Serum feels sticky or tacky after application
Ensure you are using a small amount and massaging it in thoroughly. If the issue persists, it might be due to high humidity; try applying in a less humid environment or using slightly less product.
Pearlescent beads clump together
Gently shake the bottle before use to redistribute the beads evenly. Ensure the bottle is stored upright.
No noticeable hydration or shine
Apply a slightly larger amount or ensure consistent daily application. For very dry nails, supplement with a richer cuticle oil or balm, especially overnight.
The fruity scent is not detectable
The scent is intentionally subtle. If you prefer a stronger fragrance, this product may not meet that specific need.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
