I LOVE this stuff, have used it for years and am so sad it is no longer available at stores. L'Oreal made a mistake to discontinue it and the product they recommend to replace it is NOT good stuff, nothing like the Textureline product.

This is the best smmothing serum I have ever used. Its too bad I cant find it beauty stores anymore. Thanks goodness for Amazon for selling it...it gives the shine and smoothness for my hair than any other product I tried.

This is the only product that can manage my hair without making it stiff or sticky.

The product is wonderful for my hair which is very curly and tends to be frizzy. Smooths it and gets rid of all
of the friz. Use it once a day, even in damp weather

I have been used this product for many years. But somehow the product I received this time is like fake one. It's very thin. I have to used double amount.

This product is great, I've been using it for years now. It really works on hair frizzies, keeps it nice & smooth. Let it dry completely before combing.

I have been using this product for 5+ years. It was wonderful. About 1 year ago the company changed packaging and the product changed slightly. The bottle is taller now and something is missing from the serum. Doesn't work as well as it used to work. I will not be purchasing this item because of the change.

I ordered this particular product as a trial substitute for the "Controlgel" by Textureline, which has always been my first choice. It appears that the "Controlgel" is out of production. This "Smoothing Serum" is a poor substitute. My barber agrees. He got me on the "Controlgel" years ago and I used to buy extra for him, but now, no more!! Too bad . . . we consumers lose again. I wish the "Controlgel" product would come back. My barber and I won't buy any more of the "Smoothing Serum." What a WASTE!!

I just got this from a local Stop and Shop and LOVE it! It leaves my hair so soft, smelling good and you can't even tell that I have any product in my hair. I'm reading a lot of reviews where people are saying that they can't find it anywhere. Depending on where you live, try your local grocery store!

The formulation of this product has been changed since Artec was bought by L'Oreal. The new formula doesn't hold hair like the old Artec original formula did, and it doesn't smell as nice. Don't be fooled by this picture (12/29/07)--it is a pic of the old Artec bottle, but I ordered and received the new L'Oreal Professionel version, which is terrible. The original Artec version was similar to, but not as sticky as, Potion 9. I wish L'Oreal would go back to the old formula :( I emailed them to this effect and they never even replied. If anyone can recommend a similar product, please comment to this review.
