I had this for a while, before they changed their packaging. It was something I do not need at that time, but since I had a coupon and didn't know what to get from Guardian, I just picked this up. It was retailing for $10.90 for this 60ml size.
I am almost done with it, after more than a month of daily usage.
Contrary to what a serum should be, the lightweight texture of this day essence is like a lotion, very fluid and gets absorbed into the hair easily. After application, my hands are not greasy and the hair does not look or feel oily. It gives a nice moisturised look to the damaged hair ends.
For the first 2 to 3 weeks, I did not feel that it does anything much to my hair, my wavy ( dying curls ) hair still looks unruly and frizzy, but I start to see a slight improvement in the 4th week onwards. My hair becomes more manageable and looks less unruly.
However, it does not hold or define the curls, which is understandable since this product is not supposed to do that anyway.
For the price, its decent enough for folks who just need a serum for daily maintenance, however do note that it does contain alcohol.
In terms of ingredients, the 6th ingredient : Ethylhyxyl Methoxycinnamate is an active ingredient in OTC sunscreen products. It is used in products that are applied to the skin to absorb, reflect or scatter UV rays; it protects the skin from sunburn and other damaging effects of the sun.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an OTC drug review of Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and did approve it for use in OTC sunscreens up to a concentration of 7.5%. However, it has been known to produce excess reactive oxygen species that can interfere with cellular signaling, cause mutations, and lead to cell death. This reaction may also be implicated in cardiovascular disease. (source)
