It's no secret that our nails get a bunch of attention: We pamper them, paint them and when we indulge in some nail art, they serve as an accessory to any outfit.

But a gorgeous set of nails can quickly be overshadowed by dry cuticles. The skin that surrounds our nails is essential for keeping bacteria out of your nail bed and critical for nail growth and overall health.

Whether you trim your cuticles or not, it's a good idea to incorporate a conditioning treatment once a week. And there is one bestselling cuticle oil Amazon shoppers turn to: Cuccio Naturale Milk and Honey Cuticle Revitalizing Oil.

Over 125,000 Amazon shoppers have scooped up the Cuccio Naturale Milk and Honey Cuticle Revitalizing Oil. Approximately 103,000 of those customers gave it an impressive five-star rating, making it the number one bestseller in Amazon's list of Bestsellers in Cuticle Oils.

What is the Cuccio Cuticle Revitalizing Oil?

The formula is made with a blend of cold-pressed oils that helps condition brittle cuticles and promote healthy nails. One of the main ingredients, sunflower oil, quickly absorbs to hydrate skin, while vitamins act as nutrients with anti-inflammatory and strengthening properties.

As its name suggests, this oil is also made with milk and honey — the latter naturally soothes skin and milk's lactic acid refreshes cuticles.

How to use the Cuccio Cuticle Revitalizing Oil

The directions recommend using one drop of oil on each cuticle and gently massaging it into the skin. Thanks to the light formula, it can be used daily, and many users appreciate how easy it is to incorporate this into their daily routine.

"Who knew the secret to beautiful hands is cuticle oil?" said one happy buyer. "I use it every night as part of my routine, and my cuticles and nails both look smoother and less mangled for it."

Customers and editors rave that it is highly nourishing

“This cuticle oil is of better quality than any I’ve used before,” noted one buyer. “Not greasy at all, is nicely scented and absorbs relatively quickly while still moisturizing the cuticle. Looking forward to purchasing the body oil as well.”

And both the Shop TODAY and TODAY team agree: “They’re shiny and soft and any imperfections have been smoothed out,” said TODAY reporter Sarah Jacoby after trying the product for our annual Beauty Awards. Editorial assistant Madison San Miguel noticed an "instant improvement" in the state of her cuticles, adding that they appeared more smoothed once the product dried.
