Moisturize nail: Nail plate is generated by the matrix under your nail fold. Like skin, nail plate require moisturizing. Vitamins or any other active ingredient in gel form does nothing to the nail plate when applied on top as little to no absorption will occur thru the plate. The best care for nails is to reduce trauma (ie manicure) and moisturize routinely with usual hand creams.
