I would highly recommend the Dove Nourishing Oil Care line of products. I use this conditioner along with the matching shampoo and get great results! Normally I would have to apply some serum or smoothing cream of some kind before I blow-dry. I haven't been since using these products, I don't really need to. My hair is just as smooth and frizz-free by using the shampoo & conditioner alone. I also want to note that I have combination color-treated hair, meaning my roots are greasy and the length of my hair dry, so I usually only condition from the mid-shaft down to the ends. The conditioner might be a little too heavy to apply at the roots.

I was really happy to have had a sample of this product to initially try. As I am getting a bit older I am developing some skin issues that I didn't have before, one of those being "rosy cheeks". Not just rosy cheeks... but dry, flaky, irritated cheeks as well. I have been using just my normal moisturizer (from Mario Badescu) daily and had been eye-ing up their Control Cream on the MB website for awhile now. I didn't want to buy I full-size jar and have it not work for me so I requested a sample of it with an order I submitted. I have to say that with just patting a bit on the red areas of my cheeks that I had seen a significant change after just a few short days. I did purchase a full-size jar since receiving the sample and the jar has lasted me forever so I would have to say that it was well worth the cost. Especially since it has virtually erased the redness, bumps, and flakiness that I had before. And as with all Mario Badescu products, a little goes a long way...

I had been seeing this line in stores for a little while now but was afraid to try it because of the bottle saying that it was a "nourishing oil care shampoo". However, me being a lover of hydrating shampoos (due to my chronically color/heat damaged hair) I decided to finally try it. I do believe this has a slightly different fragrance than the regular Dove shampoo line although it's been awhile since I've used any of their other haircare. It is a nice thick consistency and lathers/rinses well. I almost feel like I don't need any conditioner after I rinse, but I use some anyway on the length of my hair. The Nourishing Oil Care products leave my hair quite smooth, lightly fragranced, and in no way greasy at all.

No matter how many different and expensive (or not) shampoos I try, I always go back to my Pantene Moisture Renewal. It really does balance out the condition of my hair. I have color-treated hair that tends to be a bit oily at the roots and drier down the hair shaft. So alot of shampoos made for colored/dry hair leave me greasy up on top. But I never have that problem with this shampoo. My hair feels and looks clean allover.

This was the first Mario Badescu hand cream I had tried and I couldn't get over how thick and rich it was. It leaves your hands feeling almost velvety!

I bought this on a whim...I hadn't tried it first as a sample like many other Mario Badescu products I've ended up buying. But let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed at all! This is a really good clean-feeling moisturizer. Very lightly fragranced too. I love that Mario Badescu products are all naturally fragranced, you're smelling the basic ingredients and not some added perfume.

This smells great...so fresh! My honey actually came up to me and kissed my cheek and told me my skin smelled really good after using this, lol! I use this in combination with the enzyme cleansing gel and it is very gentle but effective.

About 6 or 7 yrs. ago I had sent away for a sampling of Mario Badescu skincare products and ever since I tried them my skin has changed drastically. I use the Enzyme Cleansing Gel every day. I've always had super-sensitive combination skin. But I can't wash my face with anything that lathers or gets foamy because it creates irritation. So I had been using cream cleansers since the 1990's until I started using this. What's the difference? The cream cleansers were clogging my pores and giving me a bumpy forehead (but I just put up with it). The Enzyme Gel is gentle on my skin, does not lather or foam, but most importantly it has a natural exfoliant in it which makes my skin super smooth. No breaking out and no drying out. An 8oz. bottle will cost $12.00 on their website, but it lasts me an average of 6 months (using it every day). You don't need alot of this product...I wet my face and apply a dime-sized dollop using just my hands and it works great for me!

This is one of the ONLY deep conditioners that I really, really like. It doesn't coat my hair down to the point that it feels heavy or greasy like others I've tried. Quite to the contrary, it leaves my hair soft and full of body. And it's almost cooling on the scalp while you have it on...It's quite revitalizing!

I was at a car show over the summer and had picked this up at a drugstore before I got there. It was really hot and sunny out that day and I applied it before I was outside and re-applied it several times thru the day. I think maybe this goes on a little too sheer because I still got sunburned. It left a white residue on my skin every time I applied it too.
