Royal Jelly for my hair! How decadent!
I picked up the L’Oreal Elseve Re-Nutrition Night Serum to try because I don’t take much special care of my hair and I felt I should. I believe this is a new offering by L’oreal Elseve in the Re-Nutrition range and it promises a weightless feel and is for dry or dried out hair.
I detest the heavy textures of leave in conditioners and serums on my hair and I’ve been very wary about overnight leave in hair serums ever since an encounter with Redken Extreme hair serum left me with spots and pimples. I think it just had too much silicone in it.
Anyway I must say that as promised, the serum is light to the touch. I pump out about 1-2 pumps in my palm, smear it through my fingers and then run my fingers through the ends of my hair starting from the mid-section. I usually end by running a comb through my hair to ensure the serum is distributed evenly.
It dries quickly and does not leave my hair sticky which is another plus. After a little while, I don’t even realise its on my hair anymore. I only use it on dry hair after blowdrying although it says on the back of the bottle that you can use it on damp hair too.
The scent isn’t very strong which is something I’m happy with, and this isn’t a detangling serum, but more targeted at keeping your hair soft by treating it overnight.
Has it helped my hair? That’s the question right?
Well I must admit that my hair has been easy to manage lately and it does not feel as dry or frizzy as it used to. I won’t recommend this one for anyone with oily hair but if you have dry hair, you could give this one a go.
It did not cause me to break out, which is again something I’m happy with. On an overall basis, I think I’m quite happy with this night serum and the price of about RM36.90 isn’t exactly bank breaking either as it’ll last a while.
Pros: Light texture and scent, Hair feels soft, Affordable
Cons: None I have found
Have you tried this night serum? Are you using a leave in serum on your hair?
Stay beautiful,

i have this too. but somehow it just does nothing to my hair at all. maybe my split ends are just too hardcore. I find the capsules vitamin still work the best for me 😀
Hey prettybeautiful,
Haha… I don’t have split ends so this works great to keep my hair soft and light. Not sure if they said it would repair split ends?
This didn’t work for me at all. haha.
Hi Jyoan
Aww… sorry to hear that!
yep. i second jyoan. it does nothing, eventhough a put a huge blob half the size of my palm all over my hair and sleep on it overnight.
Hi Anis
Aww… perhaps your hair isn’t dry enough since its for dried out hair 😀 Thats a good thing btw 😉 And don’t use too much – it’ll weigh down your hair. I only use half a pump 🙂
Thanks for the review Paris!! This sounds good… will check it out after i’m done with my current tub of leave in mask! 😀
I just bought the shampoo and mask from this range last week!! Can’t wait to try them! 😀
Hey Jenn
I got the conditioner too! But I’m not liking it 🙁
I love this… I used it after blowdrying too at night and wake up to softer and less frizzy hair. I tried the shampoo & conditioner too but not liking them!
Hi Daisy
Haha I didn’t like the conditioner too! This serum is the only thing in the line that works for me 🙂
it work well for my hair n most importantly it doesnt make my hair oily…. hair is not weight down,totally feel like i have penelope cruz hair but minus the volume part of coz….:)
Hi Germaine
hehe… maybe with blowdrying, you could get Penelope’s volume too! 😉
I have this one, too! I love how this night serum treats my hair without making it too sticky or damp.. Heart this! ^^
Hi Priscilla
Yep yep! The non sticky part is what I love best.
I haven’t tried their night serum but I’ve tried the hair treatment version and I must say, it does work 🙂
Hey Nikki
The hair treatment works too? Ah ok I shall take a look at that one next
hey, u know what? i actually like the conditoner! though the effect waned off after a while…
Hey giddy tigress
I liked it too when I first used it but now its just so blah and doesn’t work at all!
i’m so glad i found your review page on elseve’s night serum with royal jelly. i was tempted to buy it this afternoon but resisted until i read up on it. i know the price is very reasonable (around 350 pesos here in manila) but after having tried so many products (that pile up unfinished for a number of reasons), the costs add up. can’t wait to leave my own review for this product here!
