What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The title presents this as a serum, while product details specify an oil. The scent is listed as unscented, but the ingredient list includes parfum/fragrance, and customers report mixed fragrance reactions. The stated 12x reduction in split ends is tied to five applications of the full routine, while the strength and shine claims relate to serum application. The claims are listing statements, not independently verified results.
