Serie Expert Absolut Repair Molecular Rinse-Off Serum

It Works, but the Smell is Nauseating

I have a love-hate relationship with this. On the good side, it works. Beautifully. It makes my hair silky smooth and feel incredible. However, the smell is beyond nauseating. It is extremely heavy, woody, and sweet, which is amplified in the hot humid shower and leaves me feeling sick for hours. I am not a scent-sensitive person, so I can't even imagine how someone sensitive to fragrance or with asthma would feel. I really hope they come out with a fragrance-free version so I can use this without getting sick.

Pricy but it works

Got this as a trial size. The smell is awful and the product is pricy but this works. My hair was damaged and broken from bleach. After a few uses my hair feels so soft and less brittle

Nice but expensive

This is actually good. I got a deluxe sample. I had slightly damaged hair from highlights that was a little tangled. I also have thick, various curl patterned hair. it came out not frizzy and easy to comb. I would buy it, but I have a feeling that loreal has cheaper options in one of their other brands. like elvive, or garnier.

Do not recommend

Thank goodness I got the sample size from buying other hair items. The smell is horrific.I just washed my hair twice and did a mask to try to fix what this did to my hair AFTER 1 TRY! Zero stars. Absolutely vile and drying .

Fragrance burned my arms

Where the serum dripped on my wrists and forearms had a burning sensation and red marks the next day. The smell is strong like Clarins Double Serum, actually worse. (That also burns me) If you are sensitive to fragrance, don't buy this. I was careful to not apply to my scalp and only the ends, but I failed everywhere else... Only reason it isn't getting a zero is because it did give my curls some bounce after I rinsed. It did *something* but unfortunately also burned my arms and made me itch like crazy for 2 days. If this came fragrance free or with their Liss scent, I'd repurchase. Otherwise waste of money.

yes

Omg! I love this mask! I been using this mask for a couple of days now and I have been seeing such a big difference on my hair. I had damaged thin hair and after using this I am feeling my hair much stronger to be honest. Not only that , but my hair is feeling nice and soft now. It brought back that hair shine to my hair and it is feeling great. I love this mask!! Also , anorher thing the i really did like was the smell of rhis mask, it has this very good smell that left mt hair smelling so good. I like that

I myself suffer with thick hair and it can be very overwhelming to maintain at times since I barely use any products on it but when I ran across this absolut repair molecular when I say I see results I really mean just that. This deeply hydrating mask really has strengthened, softened and added much shine to my damaged hair I usually just cut my hair off fully and let it just be but since using this hair protein mask I’ve decided to just let it grow back I am very shocked at with my results so far since I have been trying this mask out you can use this as a shampoo weekly deep treatment just make sure your hair is clean wet or towel dried use your fingers or comb to evenly distribute through lengths and ends leave in for three to five minutes less dryness and frizzy you will much satisfied with this product if you have the type of hair I have I highly recommend this product! Some of the ingredients includes Aqua, cetearyl Alcohol and Quinoa seed I am highly satisfied with my results so far you will experience 17% less damage after 5 uses!

Smells terrible, works incredible

I've only left a handful of reviews in my lifetime. This rinse-off serum has worked a miracle. I was distraught with my hair breaking off and being overly processed (Asian with naturally jet black hair, bleached to be extremely light blonde - about one shade below platinum) to a point where I was even growing out my hair to prevent further breakage since I was going to the salon every 6 weeks for root touch ups. My roots have grown out so much as I was desperate to find something that would make my current hair feel like hair again. I saw this in store and then decided to buy it online (I like my free samples and a lot of stores here in NYC for some reason are incredibly stingy on samples...). I tried it this morning after I got home from work after a long 12.5 hour shift. When I was putting this into my hair after I used the corresponding shampoo, I actually threw up. I got a migraine shortly after. The smell of this is like extremely strong cologne that was sprayed in a tiny space. The kind with cetalox or ambroxan, or whatever else that has an 'x' in it that leaves a strong astringent, rubbing alcohol, heavily used kitty litter scent from some perfumes for those who are sensitive to it. It smells absolutely awful. The other two parts of this system don't smell nearly as bad. Even with the horrible smell and my unfortunate vomiting and subsequent migraine, I think this product is 100% worth it. I have not felt my hair feel this silky and normal for over 20 years. It feels unbleached and unprocessed. This is after 1 use of the entire 3 set system. I am amazed and totally sold, this is absolutely now easily my holy Grail for hair products even though I am having to spray perfume into my hair to cover this smell. I will definitely be repurchasing when I run out. I had to write this review even though I'm dead tired from work and I'm in bed feeling how great my hair is, so I can maybe help someone else bring this miracle product into their lives.

Disappointed

I love Loreal Professional products, so I was really excited to try this line. I love the shampoo, but the serum seems to add no additional benefit. Also the leave in is not great. My hair was frizzy after styling. Unfortunately, I won't buy it again.

Horrible smell

I couldn’t sleep last night after using this product because the smell is incredibly strong and overwhelming. It gave me a terrible headache. Despite reading several reviews complaining about the scent, I decided to give it a try, but now I regret it. The aggressive fragrance makes me worry that the formula contains harmful chemicals that are masked by the overpowering smell. This product is a complete was

I've already repurchased this LOL

My name is CeaCea, 31 female from WA &THIS FELT LITERALLY AMAZING on my hair! I was initially hesitant about Loreal products because I usually reach for more high end products however I was impressed by this "professional" Lo'real haircare product. It made my hair so soft, it felt like a luxurious hair mask. I already repurchased this product when mine ran out. Its amazing, if you were on the fence about purchasing it, don't be, it's worth every penny.

Def. will buy again!

I love this product. It took me a while to find a proper way to apply this and its like magic. I apply it once a week. Will def. buy it again!!
