I am extremely pleased with this product.
I have probably 10 bottles of shampoo sitting in my bathroom right now (half of which would be Sunsilk and herbal Essenes; other half would include john frieda, pantene, head & shoulders, etc). It is wise to alternate your shampoos, say washing with a moisturzing shampoo for your dry hair, and the next day with a color-safe one for your color treated hair. Note: if you have curly hair and plan to keep it curly naturally (no straightening or anything) or are planning to curl your hair after showering do not use a moisturizing shampoo such as this one. Moisturizing shampoos contain agents that can weigh down your hair, making it harder to keep its curl.
Anyway, back on track. I got this for about $2 (300mL). The main thing I like about this product is its scent. Orchid and coconut milk never smelled better. All the herbal essences products smell terrific, come to think of it. i use this product when i am planning to straighten my hair. It does a great job of protecting my hair from the heat damage i expose to it often. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cheap moisturizing shampoo that works well. Plus it smells divine!

This product I received as a complimentary gift when I purchased some cosmetics at the counter at Macy's. It comes it 125 mL (4.2 Fl.Oz.) and as I have combination skin (this is for normal/combination skin) I chose this over the cleanser for sensitive skin. I must say this would not be a cheap product had I not gotten it free, but it is not a bad product. Estee lauder is pretty high-end so I was expecting something effective and effective it is. It a great job clearing my skin of oil and doesn't dry it out. i haven't noticed any new problems or acne, and it leaves your face feeling refreshed and newly cleansed.
I use AM and PM, alternating between this cleanser and my Boscia one (i have a review up in my profile, go check that out).
Bottom line: Not amazing, good for people without severe acne problems.

This is a pricey product, but worth it. It is a mist that you spray on after cleansing (with Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser with Botanical Blast) to clarify and refresh skin. I have found this product to soothe pimples and remove redness and improve the quality of my skin. I have combination skin, and I use this in the PM and sometimes in the morning when i need a boost, and it's been working really well (I've had it for a little over 2 weeks). It is all natural and not tested on animals. It is made in Japan.
I would recommend this for anyone who needs a product like this- if it's in your budget. I like this product when used with Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser (I have a review on that also).

Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser with Botanical Blast
Okay, I'm not going to deny it: this is a very expensive product. It can be found at Sephora for $26 (that's a 5 oz. bottle). It's promising, however, I started using this a little more than 2 weeks ago. I wouldn't say this is... +
Okay, I'm not going to deny it: this is a very expensive product. It can be found at Sephora for $26 (that's a 5 oz. bottle). It's promising, however, I started using this a little more than 2 weeks ago. I wouldn't say this is AMAZING for a cleanser but it certainly did help with my skin problems (acne) and combined with the Boscia Clear Complexion Tonic with Botanical Blast (I will be doing a review on that as well) it worked wonders for my skin. Initially my skin stayed relatively clear for about 2 weeks, but I started breaking out a little yesterday (this is probably due to stress however).
My sister actually got this product from an online website. It cost her a pretty penny as she has always been looking for a product that can satisfy her sensitive/combination skin. At first she was hesitant to try it as almost everything causes her to break out but it's working for her so far. So if you have sensitive skin this would be a good choice, it doesn't irritate the skin.
This is made in Japan, so you know it can't be bad quality. It can be used in the AM and the PM (I use it before bed only though, I use the Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Splash Away Foaming Cleanser (again, a review for this product will be put up soon) and this routine is working for me just fine so far.
Bottom line: I would recommend this to everyone who can afford to splurge on this product.

Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 Creme

I am IN LOVE with this product. I have the 200 mL bottle, and it lasts me forever. I saw it at Dollar Giant for only $1.25, at Walmart it retails for $3.49. What a steal!! They only had them in the Hydra TLC and the Captivating Curls lines. I don't have curly hair, so I went with this. Initially I really wasn't expecting much (I mean, look at how much I paid for it), but seriously. This is AMAZING. Worth every penny, which wasn't very many in the first place. It is supposed to tame unruly locks and eliminate frizz. Does it? Yes. I actually am not a big fan of all the leave-in stuff (going green and all that) but I was looking for a good conditioner because my hair is very dry and tangle-prone. I wouldn't be able get a comb through it the next day if i washed my hair at night. But this is wonderful.
No frizz. No tangles. Left my hair looking soft and flowy. Yes, flowy.
It's a really light product (but then again I don't use very much). Doesn't weigh down my hair or make it feel oily. I have long hair (mid-back) that falls out easily (you should see the tub after I shower) but this left my hair feeling gorgeous, and looking the part too. My hair looks great all day.
I use this maybe 10 minutes after I get out of the shower. One dollop is enough for me and just smooth it all over your ends (doing to the root area will just weigh it down and make it look flat). I wouldn't recommend this for scrunching, even though it says it can be used as a gel too. it just really isn't that consistency or have the stickiness of gel, it's like a lotion. It can be applied when the hair is dried as well.
I also use this right before and after i curl my hair (which isn't very often). it isn't a substitute for heat guard, but i don't have any on hand (i really don't have much use for it).
So yeah. if you live in Canada near a Dollar Giant, go check it out. You can probably find this everywhere though. The Sunsilk website is currently under construction.
