Description
Dr.'s Remedy Radiant Remover – Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover 150ml
Dr.'s Remedy Radiant Remover is a gentle, plant-based nail polish remover that dissolves polish without the drying, damaging effects of acetone. Formulated by podiatrists, it removes even dark and stubborn polish while nourishing the nail bed and cuticles — so you're caring for your nails even when taking polish off.
Powered by bio-sourced, renewable plant extracts including safflower, aloe vera, lemon peel, apricot fruit and lotus flower. Acetone-free, fume-free, and vegan. Manufactured in the U.S.A.
Why Acetone-Free Matters for Nail Health
Traditional nail polish removers use acetone as the primary solvent — it's fast-acting but strips natural oils from the nail plate and surrounding skin, leaving nails dry, brittle and prone to splitting. For anyone with already compromised nails — fungal damage, psoriasis, ageing nails, or nails weakened by medical treatment — acetone can make the problem significantly worse.
The Radiant Remover uses bio-sourced solvents derived from plants instead. It dissolves polish effectively without dehydrating the nail, and the botanical extracts actively condition the nail and cuticle during the process.
Key Ingredients
- Lotus Flower & Safflower — anti-inflammatory properties that help nails retain moisture and prevent splitting and peeling
- Aloe Vera — helps whiten nails and restore their natural colour
- Lemon Peel — a natural cleanser and exfoliator with antimicrobial and antifungal properties, helping purify the nail surface
- Apricot Fruit — rich in vitamin C, supports collagen production in the nail bed

How to Use
Apply a small amount of Radiant Remover to a cotton pad and gently wipe over nails to remove polish. Repeat as necessary until all polish is removed. No harsh scrubbing needed — the formula lifts polish gently. Store in a cool, dry place with the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
Dr.'s Remedy Radiant Remover vs Standard Acetone Removers
Standard acetone removers strip nail oils and leave nails dry and brittle. The Radiant Remover dissolves polish just as effectively using plant-based solvents, while the botanical extracts condition the nail during removal. It's the recommended companion to the Dr.'s Remedy Enriched Nail Polish range, ensuring your nails stay healthy through the full polish cycle — application, wear and removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work as well as acetone?
Yes — it dissolves polish effectively including darker colours. It may take slightly longer than acetone on very stubborn or heavily layered polish, but the trade-off is that your nails aren't left dry and damaged afterwards.
Can I use this with any nail polish, or only Dr.'s Remedy?
It works with any nail polish brand, not just Dr.'s Remedy. It's a universal nail polish remover — the acetone-free formula is beneficial regardless of which polish you wear.
Is this safe for fungal or damaged nails?
The gentle, acetone-free formula makes it a better choice for compromised nails than standard removers. The lemon peel extract has natural antimicrobial properties, and the formula won't further dehydrate already damaged nail tissue. If you're treating a fungal nail infection, pair it with a dedicated antifungal treatment like Solveasy Tinea Spray or Gehwol Nail Softener.
Is this vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes — Dr.'s Remedy products are free from animal products and are not tested on animals.
How long does the 150ml bottle last?
With regular use (weekly polish changes on fingers and toes), a 150ml bottle typically lasts 3–4 months.
