The balm has a rich, buttery texture that feels luxurious on the skin, and it melts into an oil upon contact, which makes removing makeup effortless. Even heavy or waterproof makeup—like longwear foundation, bold lipstick, and stubborn mascara—comes off easily without any harsh rubbing. My skin feels fresh, soft, and hydrated afterward, not tight or stripped, which can sometimes happen with other cleansing products. I also love that it doesn’t leave a greasy residue behind, so it’s easy to follow up with my regular skincare. The added vitamin C is a noticeable perk but as this is a wash-off product it is hard to see how this contributes to brightening skin. Packaging-wise, I like the sturdy tub, although I always recommend using clean hands or a spatula to keep things hygienic. It’s also really affordable compared to other high-end cleansing balms, which makes it an excellent option for anyone wanting a budget-friendly but effective product.

This product is a lightweight, milky essence that feels refreshing upon application. It contains 10% glycerin, niacinamide, vitamin C (in the form of ascorbyl glucoside), and salicylic acid, which work together to hydrate, brighten, and gently exfoliate the skin. The texture is smooth and absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, making it easy to layer under serums and moisturisers. I apply it after cleansing and before my serum, and it preps my skin beautifully, allowing the subsequent products to absorb more effectively. While I haven't noticed a dramatic reduction in dark spots, my skin does appear more radiant and even-toned. It's not an overnight miracle, but with consistent use, I've observed subtle improvements in my complexion. One of the standout features for me is its gentle formulation. Despite containing salicylic acid, which can sometimes be drying, this liquid care hasn't caused any irritation or tightness. It's suitable for daily use and has been kind to my dry skin.

This is a lightweight and silky serum that sinks into the skin almost instantly, leaving no sticky residue behind. It feels smooth to apply and layers effortlessly under both moisturiser and makeup, which makes it easy to slot into my routine without having to think about it. I have been using it twice a day, morning and night, and it has been gentle on my skin throughout. Even on days when my skin feels a little more reactive or sensitive, it has not caused any irritation, tingling, or redness. While I have not noticed a visible reduction in dark spots yet, I have seen a gradual change in the overall look of my complexion. My skin looks a bit fresher and brighter, as if it has more life to it, and the dullness I usually notice around the end of the day seems less obvious. It is not an overnight miracle product, but the kind of serum that rewards consistency—the longer I use it, the more I can see small but real improvements in radiance and tone. For me, the appeal lies in how easy it is to use and how comfortable it feels on the skin. It doesn’t interfere with other products, it doesn’t pill under sunscreen or foundation, and it adds a subtle boost that makes my skin look healthier overall.

The Curls Method Spray is the final step in Garnier’s four-part system, designed to breathe new life into curls or waves between washes. For someone like me with fine, mostly straight hair that has a natural wave at the ends, this spray is a handy way to refresh my hair without having to wash or style it all over again. I use it on both damp and dry hair when my waves start to lose shape or frizz creeps in. The fine, even mist softens my ends, revives a bit of wave definition, and tames flyaways without making my hair feel greasy or weighed down. It is perfect for those days when I want my hair to look fresh and polished but do not have the time or energy for a full wash-and-style routine. One thing to note is the scent: it has Garnier’s signature fruity fragrance, which is bright and pleasant but quite strong. It is noticeable immediately after spraying and lingers for many hours, even into the next day. If you are sensitive to fragrance or prefer subtler scents, this could be a downside. On the flip side, it does leave hair smelling clean and fresh longer than usual. Overall, the Curls Method Spray is a light, effective refresher that keeps waves looking soft, controlled, and frizz-free without any heaviness. Just be sure to use it sparingly to avoid dampness or buildup, especially if your hair is fine like mine.

The Curls Method Mask is the deep-conditioning step in Garnier’s four-part system, designed to add extra hydration without heaviness—a tall order for fine hair like mine. The texture is richer than the Pre-Shampoo or Leave-In Cream, but still feels airy compared to traditional masks. I scoop out a small amount and apply it mainly to the mid-lengths and ends after shampooing. Here’s where it stands out, for better or worse. The signature Garnier fruity fragrance is strong, and unlike the other products in the range, it does not fade quickly. It is sweet and noticeable the moment it is applied, and it lingers well into the next day. If you are sensitive to fragrance, this may be overwhelming. Performance-wise, it does exactly what I want a mask to do: my hair feels smooth, tangles slip out easily, and even my frizz-prone ends look polished. My slight wave holds better, with a soft finish and no limpness. For fine, slightly wavy hair, this mask gives a noticeable hydration boost without weighing things down, but be prepared for the scent to make its presence known long after your hair has dried.

After loving the Pre-Shampoo, I tried the Garnier Fructis Curls Method Shampoo, step two in the routine. It is sulfate-free, with a pearly, slightly creamy texture that lathers just enough to feel cleansing without stripping. I work it into my scalp and let the suds run down the lengths, and it rinses easily without leaving my hair squeaky or parched. The fruity fragrance is cheerful in the shower but fades after drying. What I love most is the balance it achieves. My hair feels fresh and clean, but not weighed down or coated. Even my slight wave holds better, with less frizz. For fine hair that leans straight but has a hint of natural movement, this shampoo is an easy, low-risk way to dip into curl-friendly formulas.

I have fine, thin hair that is mostly straight with some natural wave at the ends, the kind of texture that frizzes easily, tangles when you look at it, and gets weighed down by anything too rich. A while back I realised that curl-focused products actually work really well on my hair, as long as I am careful with application. That is what led me to try the Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo, the first step in their 4-part system. This product is meant to be used on dry hair before shampooing, which was new for me. The texture is creamy and lightweight, not oily or heavy, and I only need a small amount through the mid-lengths and ends. It spreads easily and makes detangling before washing a lot easier, no tugging or breakage. The scent is Garnier’s signature fruity fragrance, sweet and noticeable when applying, but it does not linger after rinsing. I do not mind it, but if you are sensitive to fragrance, it is something to consider. What I really love is how this protects my hair from feeling stripped after shampooing. My ends stay soft, and even the slight wave I have dries with more definition and less frizz. It does not weigh anything down or leave residue behind, which is a must for fine hair like mine. If your hair is straight with a hint of wave and you are curious about curl products, this is a gentle place to start. It is a subtle but effective prep step that sets the rest of your routine up really well.

The first thing I noticed about this lip balm was the texture. It is one of the smoothest, most buttery balms I have ever used. It glides on effortlessly, almost like it is melting into my lips, and gives immediate relief without feeling sticky or waxy. It is soft, light, and completely fuss-free. The formula is packed with plant-based butters and oils like kokum butter, shea butter, cocoa seed butter, and marula oil, and you can really feel that richness without the weight. This is just a clean, hydrating balm that feels nourishing from the first swipe. There is a very faint citrus scent but it disappears quite quickly. What makes this balm stand out to me is how weightless and breathable it feels. It is the kind of product I can use during the day, before lipstick, or right before bed, and it always leaves my lips feeling smooth and comfortable, not coated or smothered. If you are someone who hates heavy balms or overpowering flavours, this is a quiet little gem. Buttery, smooth, and kind to your lips.

I recently received this lip balm as a gift, and it instantly reminded me of Vaseline in its comforting simplicity. The texture is soft and smooth, gliding on effortlessly and feeling rich without being heavy or sticky. Packed with natural ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, mango butter, castor oil, and jojoba seed oil, it deeply hydrates and helps restore the lips’ moisture barrier. With regular use, my lips have become noticeably softer, less cracked, and much more comfortable overall. What I love most is how gently this balm soothes irritation without any overpowering scent or sensation. It does not leave behind a greasy residue, making it perfect for everyday wear, whether on its own or beneath lipstick. I do want to correct an earlier review by a member that is misleading. It claims the lip balm offers a cooling effect and contains rosemary extract, but based on my experience and a look at the ingredient list, that is not accurate. This balm provides no cooling or tingling feeling; it is purely nourishing and soothing. Also, rosemary extract isn’t listed in the ingredients. The focus is on nourishing oils and butters rather than botanical extracts like rosemary.

I have used all three of Klorane’s dry shampoos — the original with oat milk, the volumising one with organic flax, and now this one with nettle and vitamin E — and hands down, this oil control version is the most effective if your scalp gets greasy fast. Where the oat milk version is soft and gentle (great for sensitive scalps and just giving your hair a refresh), and the volumising flax version adds root lift and texture (perfect for fine, flat hair), the nettle version actually controls oil. Not just absorbs it for a few hours. It regulates oiliness and leaves your scalp and roots genuinely matte without any chalky residue. I love how it sprays on evenly and does not dull the hair or make it feel stiff. It is invisible once brushed out, and the finish is clean, light, and fresh. The scent is subtle and disappears quickly, which I appreciate since I do not want my dry shampoo to compete with fragrance. Over time, I have noticed I do not get as oily between washes, and I can stretch out my hair for an extra day or two, something I could not really do with the oat or flax versions. The flax one gives more texture, but for truly oily scalps, this nettle formula is the one that actually works.
