When Oestrogen Drops, Nails Respond
Menopause affects our bodies right down to our fingertips
65%+ of women notice weaker, more brittle nails during perimenopause and menopause.
WHAT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING?
When oestrogen declines:
- Collagen drops (women lose ~25% post-menopause)
- Keratin structure weakens
- Nail growth slows
The result? Splitting. Peeling. Vertical ridges. Softness. Slow growth.
And here’s something many women don’t realise:
Regular professional manicures increase brittle nail risk 3x — especially when nails are already hormonally fragile.
What you can do
While hormonal change is natural, you can strengthen your nails with the right habits, time and proven products . Daily care is more powerful than occasional treatments.
✔ Use gentle, non-acetone removers where possible
✔ Keep nails at a manageable length
✔ Ensure iron and B-vitamin levels are optimal (if concerned, test rather than guess)
✔Patience is required! Structural improvements take time. nails grow slowly — around 3mm per month.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the cream?
Apply a small amount to each nail daily - ideally at night. Massage into the top and underside of the nail if long enough.
When will I see results?
Most users notice stronger nails within 10–14 days. Benefits increase with regular use, particularly after activities like showering & dishwashing when the nail is exposed to hot water and detergents.
Can I use it if I’ve had gel or acrylic nails?
Yes. Many users have reported strong results after transitioning from gels or acrylics, as it helps the natural nail recover after damage from abrasion or solvents used to remove artificial nails. However Dr Tom Nailcare products need to be applied on to the bare nail, with no nail varnish, gels, acrylics or other coatings on the nail. This is because Dr Tom Nailcare products work partly by diffusing into the natural nail and strengthening the bonds between the keratin fibres in the nail.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes! We offer a Performance Promise. If you don’t see results after daily use, we’ll provide you with a money-back refund.
Is it vegan?
No - the product contains keratin derived from New Zealand sheep’s wool.
