@anastasiia_nails_nl: What’s the difference between a dehydrator and a cleanser? Let’s break it down: DEHYDRATOR: • Removes moisture from the nail plate. • Regulates pH. • Used before primer/base. • Evaporates quickly, leaves no residue. • Improves adhesion and helps prevent lifting. CLEANSER: • Removes the sticky layer after curing gel or top coat. • Cleans the surface from dust, oil, and residue. • Can be used before base only if it’s a 3-in-1 formula. • Doesn’t regulate pH or fully dehydrate the nail. • Often used to add final shine or clean the surface. They are NOT the same product — and mixing them up can lead to lifting or poor adhesion.
