I have not used a spray antiperspirant in years, but I was intrigued by the idea of a clear finish spray that wouldn't show up on clothes, especially during the summer months when I wear more sleeveless tops.
Unfortunately, I could not get past the fragrance in this product. It's so strong I can't tell you if it's effective because I couldn't smell anything else. I looked for an unscented option when I purchased, but couldn't find one, so I assume this is the only option. Because of the smell, I have not tested it enough to report if it shows up on clothes or not. I'm guessing it doesn't as I didn't notice it the 2 times I wore it.
I find it's a bit expensive compared to the number of uses you'd get from a stick deodorant.

I purchased this because I wanted something less drying to create beach waves. I've used other beach sprays to create summer waves when I air dry my hair, but they can be drying, so I thought I'd give this one a try.
The spray does not dry out your hair, but it is not as effective at holding waves as other products I've tried. It doesn't have an over-powering fragrance, which is nice. It doesn't leave your hair "crunchy" and you can definitely comb through when it dries.
It's a bit pricey compared to drugstore versions, so I was expecting a lot more. Because it's only OK and not super effective I won't be repurchasing in the future. If you have a stronger wave in your hair, this might work better for you.

I purchased this because the marketing said it would work for sensitive skin - and it does! I have tried other retinol products and they were just too harsh for my dry, sensitive, menopausal skin. The Olay moisturizer feels like a very high end cream. It sinks in well, leaves a nice smooth finish on the face, and is still there in the morning when I wake up. At first, I did notice a slight burning sensation, but I think my skin was irritated from another product as I've been using this for about a month now and have not had the same irritation, even around sensitive areas like lips and eyes. I often use a serum first, then Olay, and if my skin is really dry I'll layer on another moisturizer on top in dry areas like cheeks, lips, etc. It interacts well with the other products. -

I used this product to reduce shampooing and to provide some much-needed volume for my thin, fine hair. My scalp is dry, but when I do use this to avoid shampooing I don't find that it really makes a big difference in the way my hair looks near my scalp. It still doesn't look "clean" I also thought it might give my hair some volume, but it typically only works right after I spray it in, but if I brush or comb it later it falls flat again. I really do not like the fragrance ("Fresh") in this product, and it lasts a long time. I hate lying in bed at night and smelling it in my hair. -

I bought this on impulse because I wanted to see if a product meant for curls would help my natural wave to stick around a bit longer. My hair's wave disappears when I brush it out. I've had some luck keeping the wave with beach spray products, so I thought I'd try this as it was on sale. Unfortunately, it doesn't work if I try to comb or brush out my hair. I do continue to use it on my ends to prevent flyaways though. It seems to have an ingredient that helps keep my hair down in the dry winters we get in Calgary, so I'm using it for that purpose but I wouldn't repurchase in the future. -

I use Neutrogena T/Gel when my scalp is super irritated and dandruffy. I don't use it consistently because it is very drying to the hair and leaves a lingering odour of coal tar in the hair. I typically use it when my scalp is bad and then alternate with a moisturizing shampoo. For my issues, this seems to work. I wish it wasn't so drying, but I assume that's related to the therapeutic properties of the formula. -

I received this product free at a salon. I used it when I was colouring my hair blonde to help tame any brassiness in my hair. I use it now to brighten my natural grey hair. I think it's effective at brightening my silvers, but I don't like the way this makes my hair feel when I rinse it out. It doesn't feel like it's cleaning my hair very effectively and it almost feels like there is a residue left behind. I have not tried other violet shampoos, so I don't know if this is common to all of them, but I would definitely try another brand in the future. On the plus side, it doesn't have a strong smell and it doesn't irritate my scalp. My husband used it on his tray hair, and it made them look great, but he has a problem shutting his eyes completely and this shampoo was very irritating when it would get in his eyes so he stopped using it. -

My issue with conditioners is always trying to find one that works well without weighing down my fine, thin hair. This one works well for me. It adds moisture, helps with detangling and doesn't leave a residue. It doesn't have a strong smell. It rinses out well and leaves your hair feeling clean. As my hair has grown out, I sometimes wish it did a bit better job of detangling and taming flyaways, but I may supplement with a spray product to remedy those problems. When I was colouring my hair, this kept my colour really well between salon visits. Highly recommended. -

This is the worst hair conditioner I have used in a long time. I can't believe I bought this product at a salon! It does not volumize hair and it does not condition well. It made my hair feel terrible and didn't help with detangling or flyaways. I used the product to shave because I couldn't use it on my hair after trying it a few times and with different shampoos, etc. Not recommended. -

This shampoo is supposed to be specifically formulated for fine mature hair, but I found it left my hair very dry and didn't really plump up my hair as expected. I am very disappointed and would not repurchase. If you have a very oily scalp and hair, this shampoo might work for you. -
