Lunavia Antifungal Pen – Cures Most Athlete’s Foot, Jock Itch, and Ringworm - 25% Undecylenic Acid with added Tea Tree, Jojoba, Clove Bud Oils & Aloe - 3-Pack Twist Pen (9ML Volume)

5 stars for now because I noticed improvements. Having toenail fungus for at least 2 decades. Started when I did a lot of endurance sports. Never tried before to cure it but nails started ingrowing plus it spread over time to most other toenails. Based on my literature research I found that Undecylenic Acid will do the trick and eliminate the fungus. Lunavia comprises 25% concentrated undecylenic acid. Fungi, however, typically grows in the nail bed and in between the different nail layers. Challenge being getting acid to the Fungi because Porosity / Permeability of the nails is too low to get sufficient acid through the nail. For that reason some Podiatrists drill a bunch of tiny holes through the nail. My plan of attack: (1) used an electrical pedicure drill to carefully grind down the nail thickness somewhat, (2) purchased Kerasal Fungul Nail Renewal which contains urea (soften Nails), Propylene Glycol (softens, helps penetrating through nail) and Lactic acid (exfoliates). Resulting that permeability increases significantly and therefore Lunavia ie the undecylenic acid can penetrate the nail. Alternatively, but I think less effectively and more time consuming, one can take a foot bath every time prior to applying Lunavia, which softens the nails and helps absorbing the topical. The latter is btw per their instructions. I apply Lunavia for several weeks now and added the Kerasal therapy only a few days ago but it looks like it improved nail appearance. For now I apply both twice daily. Promising so far (see clean, thinner nail growing out at base) but for sure it will take many months to get rid of it. Consistency required. In addition I purchased (1) Tolnaftate cream for Athletes foot to treat the areas between and below toes and (2) Hydrolyzed Collagen peptides tablets to improve nail growth rate (allegedly ca. 12%, but takes about 3 months to 'kick in') Average big Toenail growth is ca. 1.6mm/month (small toes slower) and slows down with age. Naturally, it takes a long time to get rid of the fungus affected nails. My trimmed big toenail is about 16mm long -> ~ 10 months to grow out, probably ~9 months with Collagen. 1st pen lasts already close to 1 month, thus estimated 9 pens to complete treatment. To complete the regime I disinfect socks and shoes 😅 Update on usage: In other reviews I noticed that pens don’t last that long (I’m still on 1st after 1 month). Every time I use it I check whether sufficient wetting of the nails. Typically, I only give it a few clicks, for sure not a full turn!) I expect a treatment period well over 12 months to achieve complete cure (fungus eradication). One doesn’t wat to stop treatment too early. Even when nail looks normal (clinical cured) some inactive/lingering fungal elements might still be present. My plan is do treat for a few additional months trying to prevent it from reoccurring. I bought 3 pens. Next time I probably get 6 pens bc more cost efficient. Shelf life of the ingredients seems to be at least 24 months (at adequate storage). Update 5/25: I looked some more into the problem of delivering the Undecylenic Acid to the nail bed by (1) increasing nail porosity and (2) lowering the surface tension (so that liquid is not sitting at the surface). Acc. to what I found, my best bet would be Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which significantly improves nail hydration and induces a porous microstructure. I probably going to make myself a solution with SLS and (30% undecylenic acid). I'm kind of inpatient and the last thing I'm waiting for is to find out after many many months (and $) that it didn't eradicate the fungus.. Lit. (found via google) 'Effect of Penetration Enhancer on Drug Nail Permeability ...', Pharmaceutics 2018, Elena Cutrin-Gomez, et al. Will report on progress/improvements.

At least 5 years ago now, seemingly overnight, my toenails became very thick, rigid, dry, and generally unsightly with all kinds of dents and cracking. Amongst other things that change for us as one gets older, this problem was making me self conscious, avoiding beach and lake trips with friends because I didn't feel comfortable wearing flip-flops anymore. I'd tried all sorts of things - topical fungus treatments via pen applicators (just like this one), foot soaks, biotin supplements, a variety of oils...nothing has helped. The worst part of this process as I'm sure anyone dealing with this issue knows, is the amount of time it takes to verify if one treatment or another is working. Toenails don't grow that quickly, so at minimum, you must commit around 2-3 months to a consistent treatment routine before you see any results. Even after that time, you may think things are looking better but are ultimately not really sure, so you continue for another few months before finally giving up, researching another solution and trying that...rinse, repeat. Suddenly 5 years have gone by and you've probably accepted the issue will never be solved but...then, hopefully, you come across Lunavia! I've been using it for about 6 weeks now. I just started my third pen, not sure if that means I'm using too much or too little. I do one full twist of the pen per foot, which pushes out a single visible drop of fluid to the edge of the pen brush. Instructions say to apply twice a day, after a shower (or something to soften the nail), so I shower in the morning, apply it, let it dry as I continue the morning routine before work, then when I get home, I do a tea tree oil epsom salt foot soak for 15 minutes, then apply again (trimming/filing nails about once a week or so). I've been pretty disciplined about this, though I've missed some days here and there due to various trips I've taken where it wasn't convenient or possible to do. After 6 weeks, this is the first treatment I've tried where I don't feel unsure about whether it's working or not, I can confidently recognize progress for the first time! Nail color is changing back to the way it should be, they are thinning out as they should, they're looking smoother, straighter... Everything I've disliked about my toenails the last 5+ years seems to be reverting back to looking healthy the way they used to, and I couldn't be happier about this. Next summer, I will be able to wear flip flops without feeling self conscious! I will say, these pens are pricier than others that also contain the 25% undecylenic acid. It's possible the cheaper options may work just as well, but I've already spent 5+ years trying all sorts of things at varying price points, so I opted not to go for the cheaper option this time. Give it a try!

These pens are wonderful. They’re easy to use and best of all THEY WORK. My husband had terrible fungus nails and we have tried for years to cure them. He even went to the podiatrist and took the dangerous pills, they worked but as soon as he stopped taking them months later, the FUNGUS RETURNED. Years passed and I found this product through my reading and ordered one pkg of three pens. Before the first pen was used up, the nails started showing improvement. We religiously used them morning and night for 6 months before we reduced our use to once a day after the evening shower where he scrubbed them each time with anti bacterial soap and a foot brush. A year later we still apply the pen’s medication every two weeks on the nails that may need a little to keep them clear and prevent any of the fungus from returning. Try these if you have terrible nails but know you have to be consistent with its use on a regular bases to get great results.

Update: seller stand behind their product and refunded me my money. I wanted to wait a little bit since ordering to give it the benefit of the doubt. I have been following the instructions step by step (wash, dry, apply and wait 30 minutes before putting any socks on, twice a day) for 2 months. It doesn’t work as marketed.

Love this product! It is easy to use, it does what it says it will. My problem was my big toe. Wow was it ugly. After about a months use every day 2 times a day except one or two where I only got them 1 time. The nail top came off and there is fresh nail in under. It is new growth. I can also see new growth coming from the mail bed. The new mail will look right once this thin part comes off. We go to the beach soon so I am so glad 😌

This stuff really works. I use it regularly day and night and follow the instructions. It’s def worth the money and is legit the one thing that has helped me. I previously took oral meds and even that didn’t work much. I’m now using these pens with another round of oral meds. It stores easy, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. My bro in law told me about it because it was working for him. Totally worth it! Check out the progress pics, don’t mind my toes, I know they are gross!

I tried using these pens there’s 3 in a pack and out of the 3 only 1 worked the gel barely comes out I followed the directions on the packet and still noting so I don’t know if I got a bad batch or something but yea. I will try this product one more time if the same results then yea am done with this

One of the few products you cannot return - contacted seller to replace a defective item- they were very good at fixing the problem but then try to upsell - at the end of the call they offered to sell me a $1,400 package of pens, show spray and skin lotion! Update on seller - the seller quickly responded to my review and effectively responded to my concerns
