How to use Vuret Original
- Trim and file the nail first (free clippers and a file are included).
- Apply a thin layer once daily to clean, dry nails and the surrounding skin, as your doctor directs.
- Keep going until the healthy nail has fully grown out — usually 9–12 months.
Tips for the best results
- Apply at the same time every day — right after an evening shower is easiest.
- Trim straight across and file thickened areas weekly so the formula reaches more of the nail.
- Make sure nails are completely dry before applying.
- Cover the whole nail plus a thin margin of surrounding skin.
- Take a photo on the 1st of each month — progress is easier to see month to month than day to day.
- Spray or powder your shoes and rotate pairs so they dry out fully.
- Don't stop when it starts looking better; keep going until the healthy nail has grown all the way out.

Customer reviews of Vuret Original
Slow, but the new growth is clear
I went in knowing it would take most of a year and that's exactly how it's played out. Around month three I could see a clear band at the base. Now about half the nail is normal. The pen is easy to use every night after a shower.
Liked avoiding the pills
My doctor had mentioned oral meds and bloodwork years ago and I never followed through. The online visit took maybe ten minutes. Clear improvement growing in from the cuticle. Docking one star only because the herbal DMSO smell takes a couple of days to get used to, but it dissipates quickly.
Big toe finally looks normal
Eleven months of nightly use. The big toe is basically clear now and the smaller toes are close behind. The clippers they include are actually good. Shipping always arrived in a plain box.
Steady progress, just wish toenails grew faster
Process was smooth and support answered my questions quickly. At four months I'm seeing a clean, healthy band at the base of the nail. Toenails simply take time to grow out, but the nightly routine is very straightforward.
Steady improvement, thin layer works best
First couple of weeks the skin around the nail got slightly pink, so I messaged the provider and they reminded me to keep the layer thin. Cleared right up. Seven months in, the nail is noticeably thinner, less yellow, and clear growth is dominating.
Takes patience on thick nails, but new growth is clear
My big toenail was very thick, so it took about four months before I could clearly see the fresh growth starting at the cuticle. You just need to be diligent about filing it down first with the included file. Very happy with the visible progress now.
Worth the patience
Tried two OTC brands over the years with nothing to show. This was the first thing where I saw new clear nail growing in. Set a reminder on my phone and never missed a night.
Who it's for
- Adults with persistent toenail fungus

Itraconazole 1.5% and terbinafine 1.5%, two antifungals from different drug classes, in a base containing DMSO as a penetration enhancer.
