Not nearly as good as 2-octyl cyanoacrylate products
By testmaster
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.

Been using it for years…
By Charlie03
I’ve been using Nexcare skin crack care for a few years. It is the best. Don’t assume it’s like liquid bandage, ’cause it’s not. It actually fills the cracks up and let’s them heal. I also use it to ‘paint’ the whole top of my thumb or finger when it looks like a crack is going to start. It helps keep the skin closed up. Everybody I’ve told about this product calls me to tell me how thankful they are that they found out about it. A tip: if the liquid starts getting a little thick and gooey, add a drop or two of acetone (pure acetone, not regular nail polish remover). It thins it out again so it will brush on smooth. Acetone is what my dermatologist uses on my skin before treatment, so I figure it’s safe.

Say NO to crack !
By Mark Haubner
This is the only thing that works for dry, cracked-to-the-nerve fingers. After working with cardboard boxes from overseas, my skin opens up within a day. This product seals the cracks, keeping the exposed lower layers of skin from making me cry in pain, and it works within the minute. Another miracle from 3M.
