I ordered this product about 7 months ago having seen an ad on TV with it's "money back guarantee". I knew it was going to take a while if it was going to work at all. My podiatrist did not feel that anything would work so I had nothing to lose.
Here it is 7 months later and I have a new big toenail that should be ready to cut in another month or so. This does work if one uses it morning and night without fail. The one star reviewers quite likely are not following directions and are expecting immediate results. I strongly recommend this product.

My podiatrist recommended Tineacide and it has worked great. Based on my personal experience I highly recommend it. My previous podiatrist prescribed Lamisil pills which helped but Lamisil was not a complete cure (plus Lamisil can be very hard on your internal organs and is expensive). My current podiatrist is wonderful (he also was Shaquille O'Neal's podiatrist when Shaq played for the Lakers and was having foot problems that sidelined him) and he always recommends Tineacide as a first course of action for toe nail fungus, before prescribing pills that can be expensive and more invasive than the topical Tineacide cream.

I purchased this product in early December with the hopes of curing my toenail fungus before sandal season. My left foot was really bad. I had fungus on all five toenails as well as dry pealing skin around my nails. In a months time the dry, pealing skin DID clear up. I have been using this product on my toes twice daily for 4 months now and I have not yet seen much improvement in my toenails. So far it looks like the new growth on my big toe is a little better. My pinky toenail completely fell off last week. Not sure if this is a good thing or not. I am hoping when the new nail grows back it will be healthy. I realize that this process will take awhile because it is a matter of waiting for the toenail to grow out. I gave this product three stars because it cleared up the dry skin quickly. I will update this review in a few more months to give you an update on my toenails.

I am an asthmatic living in the desert - the doctors (and I've been to several) tell me this combination often results in dry feet like mine - my feet can crack enough without treatment to bleed. I've tried scores of products over the decades. My first success was with a mail order product (Miracle Foot Repair, still available) until they reduced the Aloe content by a third. Then, Eucerin worked well enough until they added water to make it creamier. The last doctor prescribed (previous prescriptions hadn't worked) a $50 Gordon Labs exfoliating cream that worked similarly. But, the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Foot Cream for Dry Rough Feet, 2-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 4) worked just as well (I hadn't put enough on at first - it must still be a little wet when you're done rubbing in on... and so, I put socks on to keep from sliding all over the floor). I was buying this product at a rate of eight tubes a year for a savings of over $300 a year compared to the prescription cream (not counting the doctor's fees).

Why am I talking about all these other products?

UPDATE: I'm cured! I no longer have to buy any of these mentioned products. What did it for me?!? I used Tineacide for 6 weeks. I guess I've had Athlete's foot for over 20 years (I don't feel completely stupid considering three podiatrists were unable to diagnose it). Do yourself a favor if you have very rough skin and just give Tineacide a try (must use for at least a month). What can you lose... except your dry cracking feet?

I suffered from toenail fungus for 5 years and tried everything short of the Lamisil pills. I had almost given up hope when I ordered tineacide from amazon. Every other night I soak my toes in hydrogen peroxide and on the in-between nights I soak them in white vinegar. Then I apply tineacide with a band-aid to keep the ointment on the toe overnight. In the morning I re-apply tineacide with band-aid if I'm wearing closed toed shoes and without a band-aid if I'm wearing open toed shoes. After three months, I have clear toenails.

After exercising with shoes that were too small, I lost my big toenail. And for five years I have continued to lose it because I couldn't get rid of the fungus that came while my toenail was damaged. I even went to a podiatrist to see about having part of it removed and thankfully chose not to. I ordered Tineacide and have been using it for about 6 months. At first I used it very regularly and now that the fungus is GONE, I use it about once a week. My father had a fingernail with the same fungus and, after trying everything imaginable, has a healthy fingernail once again thanks to Tineacide. I ordered the 2 pack and gave him one of the bottles. After many uses, we both still have some left to use for maintenance. When I run out, I will order this same product again. It's been so great not to have to worry about wearing sandals anymore. I have a healthy toenail once again. Wish I had discovered this great product five years ago!!

My husband got a serious fungal infection on his nails and toenails. After 2 dermatologists, holistic practitioners and other over the counter remedies, this is the only product that is finally getting rid of it.

I ordered 2 more bottles just so he won't run out!

I would strongly recommend this product to anyone with any type of nail/foot fungus. Just start with this product and you won't waste your money on other worthless remedies.

As opposed to what you can pick up at the local drugstore, this actually works. I had a rather severe infection and tried pretty much everything on the market to no avail.

Of course, I could have gone to a "specialist" who would prescribe some pills with the residue sitting in my liver...not my style! I wanted a topical solution.

Ultimately I picked this up through Amazon (no longer found in my CVS...hmmm).

A faithful application over a period of months cleared up my infection (which remember, was pretty bad).

I would have given this product five stars, but there is the issue of expectation.

No, your infection won't clear up in a week...perhaps, not a month.

Neverheless, this does work. You just need to be patient!

I had moderate toenail fungus on several toes for probably 5-7 years before going to a podiatrist on my family doctor's recommendation. The podiatrist said since I didn't have a serious case, it didn't warrant taking the oral antifungal medicine. He had me try the tineacide first. I follow my podiatrist's directions and religiously apply the lotion once a day in the morning (or at least 6 days a week). I still have some fungus on my big toe, but it cleared up all the orangish color and I can go in public wearing flip flops again.

The podiatrist also filed my nails down every three months, but I no longer go to him since my insurance doesn't cover the procedure, and you can do it yourself rather than pay the doctor to do this. It's his opinion that doing this lets the lotion penetrate the nail easier. Also, I apply directly after taking a shower when the nail is softened from the hot water.

I buy the lotion 3 at a time from the podiatrist, who gives patients a discount if they buy 3 or more.

My husband has been plagued with toenail fungus on one of his big toes. He has had a lot of pain with it, because the nail was so thick.

He did not want to take the pills because of the possible side effects. We tried the paint on products, but he got no relief.

I was told that a podiatrist had recommended this product to a friend and she had great success with it, so I ordered it.

It is working for sure for him. The new nail growth is clear of fungus. He has been using it diligently 2 times daily for 2 months. He will continue to use it until the nail has grown in completely and is free of fungus.
