  1. A minimalist's best friend

    mroma

    I am so happy to have finally found something moisturizing and not heavy that ACTUALLY works for skin and hair. Shu Uemura are not lying when they say that you can use this on both. I really like the aluminum packaging which allows one of those keys to get every drop of product out. The consistency is light and it absorbs quickly. Similarly to what the other reviews are saying, it is not sticky at...

  2. Easy to absorb and non greasy

    Xi

    Ths balm has a very light texture, easy to absorb in no matter where you apply it on. It makes my hair smooth, my hands hydrating. It has nice scent. Love it.
  3. Incredible

    MK

    This balm is absolutely incredible. I started by using it on my hair (it made my hair feel so silky) and then as a body balm too. The smell is amazing without being overpowering.
  4. Dry ends saviour

    G

    I bought his after using the Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Overnight Serum which I love but this is more multi purpose. Very effective at hydrating dry ends & taming light frizz it flyaways, day or night.
  5. I want more of this!

    rebecca

    The smell of this product is amazing! I was slightly skeptical after reading it had multi uses ( hair and skin) but by god, this is beautiful stuff. Please don't ever stop making this one!
  6. Great multi use product!

    Carmy

    This is a great innovative multi-use product that is very hydrating and nourishing. It is great for taming frizz however for use on my hair I prefer the Shu Uemura hair oil as it absorbs better and is lighter. Nevertheless this product does work well as a body moisturiser.
  7. Love this

    Ann

    Love this, it’s absolutely amazing. I have somewhat dry and quite flat hair and it just makes it look amazing. It’s very pricey though so I use it cautiously and I’m not sure when I’ll repurchase. Will be the type of product I buy when it feels like my hair needs a boost
  8. AMAZING

    Lisa

    I received a sample of this quite a while ago in an adore order and hoarded it away as a 'special' sample. My former hairdresser had used it on me once and thought nothing of it. She told me it could be used for hair and body, and that another client of her had bad eczema on her hands and this cleared it up significantly. This week I have developed nasty dry psoriasis patches on my scalp, so I ha...

  9. Conditioning and Light. My new styling best friend!

    Donna

    I received 2 sachets of this product as a sample, and it is definitely the PWDKWN (Product I didn't know I needed). I have thin, flyaway hair and this product does everything it promises. It improves the health of dry ends, tames frizzy, flyways, and helps style your hair without weighing it down. I will be purchasing this over and over, I cannot be without it!
  10. Hair health at its best

    Pechoch

    I love this cream. It’s light, nourishing and gives my hair health - it’s like a health retreat for my locks. I wear this cream on style-free days, just wash and condition and apply some cream mid to lengths, and my hair feels healthier and stronger as a result. I wouldn’t consider it a styling product but feel like it’s more of a wearable conditioning mask. A staple for the bathroom!
  11. Luxurious

    Annie

    This Balm is the best I have ever used. It calms frizzy hair and feels silky and beautiful on my skin as well. The scent is just lovely. This large tube will last for a long time
  12. Smells good and nice balm

    Elaine

    Tried this balm first time at my hairdresser and recently bought this myself to try. The texture is much lighter than expected, not thick like a traditional balm, which is good. It spreads easily into the ends of my hair nicely and love that it can be used on the hands too. I feel that it keeps my hair less frizzy without weighing it down,
  13. Unexpectedly good

    Jessica

    I got a sample of this and I instantly noticed a difference. I have dry coloured hair. It keeps my hair from being dry and it makes my hair soft. I bought a full size. Then I finished that. So I bought another one eventhough it is quite expensive. It is really good.

    I used it after washing my hair. The texture is very light and non greasy but still moisturising. And it smells really n...

  14. Magic in a tube

    DD

    Received a sample size of this balm and was hooked. Love the texture, smell, and how it made my hair feel overall. My hair seemed to drink it up and feel so soft and silky afterwards. Was so impressed, I bought a full sized tube.
  15. Curly hair’s best friend

    Bellem

    This balm really surprised me. That said I am a huge Shu Uemura fan, so I shouldn’t have been surprised at how fantastic it is. It nourishes my curls without weighing them down and eliminates the frizz.
  16. This is devine

    Alice

    I received as a sample and fell in love with its universal application. Smells great, feels great - Purchased a large tube immediately.
  17. Fabulous

    Emily

    I received this as a sample. Hair care is not something I have really taken a lot of notice on in the past, but found this fabulous......I’m in two minds as to if I should love or hate the samples that adore beauty spend. I love that I get to try new products, but hate that my bank balance is taking a pounding!!!
  18. Great multi purpose product

    Lauren

    I received some samples as a GWP and I love how multi use it is! Hair, skin, cuticles. Great scent and left my hair and skin soft and hydrated!
  19. Sample

    Sha

    Had a sample of this one, and found it very thick and luxurious. Definitely smelled divine! I think this is good for taming thick hair, but can make hair oily
  20. Great results but it is just a finishing serum

    Nika

    It does make your hair feel thicker and look shinier from the first use.So that is a massive plus. It does not however help with 'holding your hairstyle' in place so if your curled our hair it will have an indifferent effect on how long this style will last, it neither enhances or prolongs it nor destroys it. The smell is terrible -like an old man's shaving cream. I do not like the name of;univers...

  21. Smells amazing!

    Georgia

    I received this in an AB Goodie Bag and while I don't love it as much as my Ouai hair oil, I adore this as a body moisturizer. It's definitely on the pricey side for every day but I think I'm going to have to spring for the full size. It's a nice, light texture that sinks really well into the skin and the smell is absolutely to die for!
  22. What a gorgeous hair balm!

    Nadia

    I received this in my AB Goodie bag and I absolutely loved this product. After one use my hair is shiny and no flyaways! Hair is still looking shiny the day after, even after heat straightening! l would definitely consider purchasing. It is the only balm/hair serum that has actually worked on my hair! I gave it 4 out of 5 stars purely for the high price tag for the full sized product!
  23. Smells Amazing, Feels Amazing

    Kate

    This product smells amazing and leaves the skin feeling soft. I love it and would defintely buy this product again.
  24. Love this Balm!

    Amanda

    I received this as a sample and I love love love it! I have fine hair that is prone to fly aways. I put this in my hair after it is washed and in the morning when I wake I have no fly aways. I have used so many oils and frizz free serums that just either look greasy or don't work, but this is the first product that works! Will definitely purchase!
  25. Beautiful on the skin

    Ashley

    I got a deluxe sample with a recent order and I absolutely love this on my skin, it’s so hydrating and smells absolutely amazing. This is a great universal balm
  26. smells divine but does not last long

    Gebi

    a bit pricey but it smells luxurious. The upside is it can be used for hair skins and eyebrows. However i dont find this worth the price.
  27. Good for body moisturiser

    Hayley

    Received a generous sample of this in my recent AB haul. I was surprised that it has a lightweight texture despite of being marketed as a 'balm'. It has a pleasant smell and I love the fact that it is a universal balm. However, I do not find it it nourishing for my hair. Additionally, despite of having light texture, it weigh down my hair and making it looks greasy (I have fine hair). Nonetheless,...

    Robin

    I love this for my hair! It leaves it so soft and smooth and refreshed. The smell is great as well!
  30. Love using this for my hair

    Jenny

    Love using this for my hair, there is a nice soft fragrance from it, and leaves hair feeling so smooth! Also helps with styling with hot tools as there is less frizz
