It makes a big change for my hair.

I love the texture of this Shu Uemura Essenxe Absolue Nourishing Universal Balm. It leaves my hair soft and shiny. It also helps to take my frizz hair as well. And it has clean, nice scent. Love it!

Smells AMAZING!!!

Of all of the products I’ve purchased over my forty-something years, this is easily my absolute favorite scent! It’s floral and delicious without being overwhelming. If a scent could be classified as “classy” this would be it; very luxe. The product itself doesn’t do the best job at taming flyaways, but it also doesn’t weight down the rest of my tresses. Instead, it leaves them silky, shiny and soft and enhances my natural waves in a way that prevents me from having to do any other styling, so that’s a trade-off I’m willing to make. If you have relatively healthy, wavy hair and want to be able to wash and go, this product just might be the right one for you!

Mustttt have for frizzy and wavy hair.

I received a sample packet months and months ago and i have been using that packet little by little. LEAVES MY HAIR DRY ENDED HAIR LIKE ITS NEW. My hair is wavy and frizzy so it leaves my hair smooth without the weird sticky residue. also leaves my elbows feeling softer. definitely is a universal balm.

Multi use product 10/10

Huge fan of the mask and hair oil from this line (and the scent!!). As soon as I saw this new product that is a hair AND body balm I immediately added to cart. Makes the hair/body feel soft and my husband said I smell really good.

Adds shine

This product is so easy to use and distribute evenly to all strands. It is not oily or sticky. It is a lightweight balm that smells amazing. It adds hydration to the hair but the effect does not last very long. My hair feels the same dry and frizzy again the next day. That’s the only drawback.

Great for skin and hair

This product is very gentle on skin. I was planning to use it just on my hair but my family ended up stealing some to use on rough skin. Very silky. And obviously also great for hair. With the weather changing and skin/hair being drier it’ll help. I have only had for a cough of weeks but I am excited to see if my hair is less frizzy long term I received this as a free gift.

Hydrating without being greasy

My skin tends to run very dry and I'm always on the lookout for something that can help. After using this I did notice a difference without feeling greasy. Also worked nicely in my hair without being to heavy. The smell was light enough it didn't bother my husband who is super sensitive to smells. The 4/5 stars is for the price.

Moisture Miracle!

This elixir can be used on hair or skin. I've mostly used it on my hair and reeped the benefits of this elixir by gaining long lasting moisturized hair. And a little goes a long way, so I'm super happy to reep the benefits of using this serum for as long as possible. Definitely a worthy splurge!

My hair is back!Thanks!

I was a little skeptical at the beginning because (I don't know why) I don't believe the products for both hair and skin. I have to eat my words because this balm is a-ma-zing! I'm going through some hormonal changes and my hair is being suffering a lot: the texture is rough and the shine was non existing. Not anymore! I love it because my hair is looking good again, shinny, healthy and sooooooft. And not felling heavy or leaving my hair with stickyness or felling heavy. The smell is light and delightful and the best part is how soft and moisturize my hands are after putting in my hair and adding a last dab for my hands (and elbows!)
