Nexcare Skin Crack Care Liquid Bandage: Perfect for Healing Fingers, Hands, and Feet

MBen: Finally something that gives reliefs to dried split fingers by the nail bed… A seasonal thing my husband has battled for years, as it is painful if left exposed. Adhesive bandages fall off quickly but once Nexcare is applied, it dries quickly and provides relief. You have to re-apply it a couple times a day, or more if you wash hands often. He says it’s a complete game changer.

Janprint: Got yesterday and applied 2x. Immediate relief, and the cracks at the corners of my 3 fingers are almost completely healed. Once the skin is split, lotion doesn’t do any good because it puffs up the skin around the split and makes it crack even more. This stuff seals and waterproofs the split. I will always keep on hand for the winter months. Next time I’ll buy 2 bottles—they are pretty small. Highly recommend.

SueT: This product does the job and FAST. It is immediate and a must have for my winter hands. My hands stop hurting immediately when I apply this clear coat. It lasts pretty long....reapplication is needed, however I get relief and that gives my hands time to heal. I have tried other liquid bandage medications and they burn, sting and cause more pain.
You will not be sorry....only thing is you really need two bottles, one for a purse or home and the other for work. It does get thick after a year or so.....careful not to order all at once.

T Law: We have a young child who constantly has cuts on her fingers from her biting it. We go through stages of recovery and then back to peeling fingers. We can’t use hand sanitizer, or anything alcohol base as it just stings her. This one has worked very well for us.. the tough part is that the spray nozzle does eventually get blocked due to the type of stuff that’s in the spray.

And for the price there isn’t much.. but unfortunately there isn’t much out there in the market that offers a no sting liquid bandaid

ARH: I deal with dry hands in the winter and it sucks. Ended up with a couple of vicious deep cracks and rough patches in between my thumb and index finger. That is literally one of the hardest place to heal because no band-aids work in that area due to the constant folding.

I've tried all kinds of moisturizer, lotions, nothing works satisfactorily healing wise. However, Nexcare worked wonders and quickly. Basically, the coating does what a band-aid would do. It seals the cracks and coats the rough patch areas allowing the skin to heal underneath, unbothered.

To solve my issue of dry patched and cracked skin, I used this twice a day. At night, I washed the Nexcare off, and lathered my hands with Vaseline, then I covered them with cotton gloves before bed. Repeat until healed. Highly recommended!

laura: Es un líquido que sirve para reparar las grietas de las manos, también lo he usado con alguna herida, hace una especie de película protectora (como si fuera una tirita) q a la ver repara y cura la grieta.

Ian H: This is a great product. I have often suffered from cracked finger tips and cuticles in winter. Nexcare really does solve and fix the problem in a way that I have never had before. I highly recommend it.

Stitcher69: This stuff is brilliant. I wish I had discovered it earlier. I have the kind of dermatitis which occasionally leaves my finger, or usually thumb ends split and they don't heal well. I hate to have my hands covered in sticking plaster, but equally hate to go about with open wounds on my hands. The Nexcare skin crack is painted on like nail varnish and covers the affected area. You may need two coats at first, then it gives a brilliant cover all day, even through numerous hand washings. Not only does this protect the open wound but it helps these unhealable cracks to heal too. I found that mine had healed the next day.

T. Townsend: I was very dubious about its claims, after it took over 3 weeks to arrive, my thumb had healed! Basically it is paint on 'plastic skin' with tea tree oil in it. It is not very hard wearing and constantly needs reapplying, 2-3 times a day. Easier to apply than spray on skin but 3-4 x the price. It did help, my thumb which splits and is agony healed within 5 days using this, but using spray on skin had the same effect, as did superglue! It is superior to superglue as it does not harden your finger tips, but to be honest, not worth the money, or wait!
I will go back to cortisone cream at night and spray on skin in the day, same effect for less money.

ynot: I was extremely pleased for many years with the original Band-Aid Liquid Bandage which contained the miracle ingredient 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, a human-safe version of superglue which is currently used by doctors/surgeons/vets as the best available product. This Nexcare product doesn't work as well in any respect compared to the original, and 3M knows it, but it is no longer sold over the counter to people (evidently too many folks were not careful in using it). Note that acetone (horribly stinky nail-polish remover) or mineral oil or any superglue remover does remove this human-safe version of superglue, but this was not common-enough knowledge and folks did not have a remover readily available when they misused it. So it was removed from the consumer market several years ago, evidently due to liability concerns.

I used the original Band-Aid liquid bandage for many years for my painful winter skin cracks. A miracle product since it instantly cut the pain. When it was discontinued I tried literally every other product on the market and all had serious deficiencies. This Nexcare liquid bandaid is adequate in filling skin cracks except it doesn't cut the pain at all (my main...
