ever since i saw the ads of this product, i wanted to try it. however, the price is quite expensive. so i didn't want to buy it through a preorder system. fortunately, i got the chance to go to the US and i found it in sephora! i didn't want to break my wallet, so instead of buying the full size one, i bought the mini one instead. so, let's see whether the raved reviews are true.
this is the description from their website: a leave-in treatment mask that works on the molecular level to reverse hair damage in just 4 minutes. the k18 peptide is clinically proven to repair damage from bleach+color, chemical services and heat - with immediate and lasting results to restore strength, softness, smoothness and bounce to hair.
- takes damage repair further - reconnects both polypeptide chains (and a result, also reconnects disulfide bonds) for strength along the length + width of the hair - offering comprehensive, lasting damage repair.
- restores hair from even extreme damage - by working at the innermost layer of the hair, core strength and elasticity are renewed for strength, smooth, bouncy hair.
- delivers immediate and lasting results - hair is repaired from the first use and lasts past your next wash, for ongoing reparative benefits.
- simplified repair - convenient, leave-in formula works in just 4 minutes, with no extra rinse required
- works on all hair types - because k18peptide works on a molecular level (where all hair is the same), this product is effective on all hair types

The packaging: it comes in a white box with red combination. There are a lot of descriptions on the sides and back of the box in english and french. And the ingredients list as well. The leave in mask comes in a white plastic bottle with pump head that’s covered with the same white plastic cap. I bought the mini size, which is just 15 ml. I believe there are bigger sizes, but i’m not sure how big they are. The pump works well and it squirts the right amount of product as well, so no complaint about the pump. However, you might want to keep the opening clean from product residue as it can dry up inside the opening and thus blocking the opening.

The scent: this one smells floral? But it’s enjoyable and not annoying at all.

| description at the back |
The product: it’s a white thick lotion type. Learning from my past mistake, this time i read the instruction carefully first before using it. The instruction says to use one or two pumps before adding more. So i do. I use one or two pumps for most of my hair and add one more pump for the rest because there are some strands that i can’t reach. It’s easy to spread it around and it doesn’t make my hair feels greasy or anything.

The result: i have quite thick and frizzy hair, so the first thing that i notice is, it makes my hair feels soft and smooth. Yeah sure it doesn’t help much with the frizz, but it’s not targeted solely for frizz, so somehow it’s acceptable. The second time i use it, i can clearly see that it helps make my hair a lot smoother and softer. The frizz is manageable as well. However…. The result if not permanent. As i’ve said before, i exercise almost everyday, so when i’m drenched in sweat and the sweat touch my hair since my hair is quite long, it makes my hair frizzy instantly.

I have to say that it does the work as it’s promised. However, i still don't like how pricey it is. and how it can't help much with the frizziness. but i guess this one is already better than my previous hair oil, so i'm quite impressed with this one. considering the price, i truly can't say anything, aside from just buy the mini if you really, really want to try this one. as for me, this one really works and i have no complaint aside from the price. i will definitely repurchase this one if i have the budget.
