My sulcatas shell looks to be a bit dry, and I think he is also growing since there's a bit of white flakeyness on his shell. I'm wondering about vitashell and whether or not it would be a good idea since I've seen a lot of mixed reviews.

I try vitamin E oil once, the one derived from wheat germ, and it also makes my tort shell shiny and nice looking. But does it offer real benefit? When the oil is gone, the shell looks just like before. Do I keep using it? Yes, sometimes on rare condition just for my selfish pleasure. But I feel that they better go with plain water. I think spraying their shells with water as many times as you can, as long your tort not getting sick, is more natural way
Try everything you want though, whether it is aloe vera, vita shell, olive oil, wheat oil, as long as you feel confident they do no harm to your torts
