Review : Rene Furterer Acanthe Curl Enhancing Leave-In Fluid






Product Description
Rene Furterer Acanthe Perfect Curls Curl Enhancing Leave-In Fluid is an award-winning formula to bring the best out of your curls. The frizz-eliminating, volume-inducing fluid instantly defines and shapes your curls, while boosting your bounce. Natural acanthus extract helps create the ideal curls as avocado oil hydrates and an anti-humidity agent controls frizz. Features a fig, plum, jasmine and rose scent.

Earlier this month, I have reviewed the shampoo and conditioner in the same range and today's review is on its leave-in fluid. Compared to its shampoo and conditioner, I actually quite prefer this leave-in fluid even though I still did not like the scent, similarly to its shampoo and conditioner in the same range.
Receiving Allure Best of Beauty 2010, its easy to to understand why.

Key Ingredients
Acanthus extract : defines and softens
Avocado oil and silicone complex : hydrate and provide shine

The white cream looks heavy but its actually lightweight yet moisturising enough for my curls and damaged ends. Once applied, I do feel that the frizziness have become lesser and it maintained well throughout the day. I won't say that all the frizz have totally disappeared but at this point its good enough for me as I am not one of those who places frizziness at the top of my hair concerns.
I like it that it defines my curls with a slight tousled look, without meaning to. Totally natural.

Ingredients :
Water (Aqua), Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Acanthus Mollis Leaf Extract, Amodimethicone, BHT, Butylparaben, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetrimonium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, Ethylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum), Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Isobutylparaben, Maltodextrin, Methylparaben, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (Persea Gratissima Oil), Phenoxyethanol, Polyquaternium-37, Polyquaternium-68, Propylparaben, Trideceth-12.

I read your review on Avene thermal spring spray while i was googling for it. yes it works excellent for sensitive skin and i doubled it up as toner. then i use avene recovery cream, the main ingredient is mineral oil to some this is sensitive but for my sensitive skin, it saves! LOL

Hi Liting,
Glad that it works for you. How does the recovery cream helps your skin? Some time back, I was actually trying to choose between recovery cream and treatment cream for my localised redness.

Liting said...

yes, recovery cream works to reduce redness and even i have sensitive skin it has no problem. :) i should say it work like a basic moisturizer for me to restore hydration and prevent breakout. actually i didn't know the main ingredient is mineral oil, i bought because avene is well known for sensitive skin and plus the name "recovery cream" sells to me so i gave it try and it's only later i googled to find out it has mineral oil. and i thought again maybe La mer should work for me too since it has mineral oil as the main ingredient too with their patented algae or something. :)

to curb with your redness, you can try etude aloe vera mask , buy the $9.9 one (they have $1.9 aloe mask for the $9.9 one is surely more concentrated and it really chase away my skin redness esp on cheek area)

hope i help. have you tried any la mer before? i think a lot said this is overrated and overpriced..

Hi Liting,
Thanks for your feedback. I will check out Aloe Vera mask one of these days.
Nah, La Mer is still out of my budget. :P
Any excellent eye cream to recommend?

Liting said...

Sorry i can't help, i don't use eye cream.
