Finally SdJ for me!
You want to like Sol de Janeiro, right...? Unfortunately, no scent has really stuck with me or I with it... Until this green beauty! Love the just-right earthy fig scent, which is still SdJ-sweet. Lasts well for a mist! #lykoreview1 product in post Finally SdJ for me!77 views - The post was made 7 hoursRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Childishly fun
"Sorry, but do you smell like bubblegum...?" asked a friend. Yep, I answered, 40+, happy and felt young for a second :-) Keeps the lips nice just long enough for the next dose too #lykoreview1 product in post Childishly fun3 views - The post was made 7 hoursRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Stable serum
Doesn't work miracles but feels like it "feeds" the skin nicely. For a serum, it is also unusually rich, so it works well on its own (and gives a nice glow!) #lykoreview1 product in post Stable serum14 views - The post was made 7 hoursRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Three for two
I actually didn’t need the moisturizing serum... but it kind of came with the deal. Good stuff that I’ll be coming back to! (A little warning: Balmet is a bit hard to get out of the tube at the end – especially if, like me, you keep it in the shower where the grip gets worse) #lykoreview1 product in post Three for two8 views - The post was made 7 hoursRating: 4 out of 5verified customer
Worth buying (but not necessary to buy)
Gah! Why am I so weak for "box deals"...? I never use everything...? But this one was still unusually worth buying, with products I could have bought individually (mainly: Hickap, Ordinary. Maria Åkerberg, Inkey List and Geek & Gorgeous) #lykoreview1 product in post Worth buying (but not necessary to buy)65 views - The post was made 7 hoursRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Even my husband can stand it!

Nice - but too orange - glow
Nice formula and nice glow, but the shade I have is way too orange, both as a highlighter and bronzer. Also a bit too dry for my mature skin if I use a lot (and then I look like Trump ;-))1 product in post Nice - but too orange - glow20 views - The post was made 2 monthsRating: 2 out of 5
Cooler exterior than content
LOVE the bottle! Both color and shape stand out. But... it smells like a standard Klein/Boss/Gucci perfume from the late 90s. Quite sharp floral (orchid might smell like that) and thus not as vanilla/amber as the notes suggest. Not so magnetic, to my nose. (And sorry, but “elixir” is probably a bit overused as a word nowadays...?)1 product in post Cooler exterior than content84 views- The comment was made 2 monthsThanks for the tip – but considering I've been referring to perfume since the 90s, I know how to use it ;-) (maybe someone else might find it useful though!) One thing EVERYONE surely understands is that scent is subjective, so there's nothing strange about my more negative review.

I choose to believe
I have tested this serum for just over 2 weeks. Far too short a time to say anything about hair health or fuller curls... ... but, unlike other products in the same category (and I have tried many!), I have good hope for Redken’s new one. From what I’ve read about the ingredients, there is reason for cautious optimism, and Redken is a brand I have a good impression of from before. The product itself is easy to use and gives a fresh, healthy feeling on the scalp. Some similar products become sticky, oily, or stiff when applied, but not this one. It ALSO FEELS like it actually works – not with a hysterically stinging or warming sensation (like similar sprays sometimes give), but with a slight tingling right when the liquid lands. Unlike shampoo and conditioner, the scent is not too much “Ajax citrus,” and it doesn’t linger, which I appreciate. Together with the treatment spray, which gives good volume, this feels like a complete system for the scalp and future fullness. (And unlike the spray, the serum nozzle is just the right size and gives a nicely distributed mist). I choose to believe (which is needed for this price ;-) ) The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson – the test pilot got to try the product for free.1 product in post I choose to believe67 views - The post was made 2 monthsRating: 5 out of 5
A root lift for me who hates root lifts!
I've done my research. I know that azelaic acid, this skincare darling, is actually supposed to be good for the scalp and hair health as well. I also know that it's one of the few ingredients I haven't tried yet in the hunt for fuller 40+ hair; warming sprays, smelly masks, stiff mousses... Been there done that. But even though I read up on Redken's new product, I still can't quite figure out the difference between "serum" and "treatment." To me, those words mean roughly the same thing, and both come in a spray bottle and are said to increase density. Oh well. Just have to try it. The first time I probably spray a bit too enthusiastically: The hair gets stiff at the roots. That makes me realize this is probably more of a styling product...? (Aha, "Instant" yes!) And volumizing styling products I've of course also tried – but hated... I just never manage to get root lifts or texture sprays or volume mousse right... Everything gets as stiff as the first (overenthusiastic) spray of Redken Instant Densifying Spray. I brush out as best I can and go to work. And come home with hair that is airy, fluffy, and higher than since I was about 12. I should probably deduct a star because the spray nozzle feels a bit plasticky and unreliable. But once I've learned not to take too much, this becomes my new best friend. If it also increases fullness in the long run (which I choose to believe it can!) extra stars are needed. Also, the color on the bottle is nice! I've tried the whole Acidic Grow Full System and never thought this would become my favorite, but as you can tell from above, this will be my definite repurchase.
