I wanted a product to bring out my natural curl without making it look dry and brittle. This sculpting cream gel does the trick!. Plus it gives me shine and the price is right. I looked at other products, but they were way to pricey! Thanks Garnier I am a happy camper.

leaves hair crunchy instead of soft
14 years ago
This product pales in comparison to the discontinued Garnier Fructis Soft Curl Cream. This product left my hair feeling crunchy. The discontinued product left curls shapely and soft. Why take it off the market? It has not been replaced by a comparable product by Garnier Fructis.

Bring back the original CREAM GEL!
a month ago
I have used Fructis Curl Sculpt Conditioning Cream Gel for over 10 years. It was the only styling product that truly worked for my curls. Not only did it define my curls perfectly without leaving them dry or frizzy, but I also constantly received compliments on how amazing my hair smelled—and that was because of the original Conditioning Cream Gel.
When I could no longer find the original product, I decided to try the new Jelly version. After just 1 use, I was incredibly disappointed. My hair was dry, extremely frizzy, and my curls looked terrible. It was nothing like the original formula that I had relied on for so many years.
Please consider bringing back the original Fructis Curl Sculpt Conditioning Cream Gel. Whatever changes were made to create the new version are simply not an improvement. I loved the original product and wore nothing else for more than a decade because it worked so well.
As a customer who has been loyal to Garnier for nearly two decades, I hate the thought of having to search for a different product. I truly hope you will consider bringing back the original Conditioning Cream Gel. There are customers like me who genuinely miss it and would gladly buy it again.

Cream gel curly hair product
3 months ago
What is going on with the original product? It’s nowhere to be found. Walmart claims it had a 3 pack and now it’s delayed at 3 times the original price. No one carries it now and even the new packaging is nowhere to be found. New jelly is not the same as the conditioning cream gel . Who thought of changing this causing these resale issues from 3rd parties?

New formula smells terrible
a year ago
This used to smell sooooooo good! I got complements all the time on how good I smelled and I wear NO perfume or any other scented products. Why, why mess with it?! ‘New formula’ smells gross, like there’s something wrong with it. I’m so disappointed and will definitely be looking for something else somewhere else.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Good product, packaging needs work

I've used this product on my slightly wavy gray hair and I like the resulting look and feel. My only complaint is that the top is too difficult to open, especially with wet hands! It is close to impossible to open without using a towel for help. A little inconvenient.

Q: I noticed the ingredients on this website lists that it contains parabens, but when I went to the store and looked at the ingredients list it did not contain parabens. Which is accurate? Why is it listed differently on the tube at the store?
5 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hi Sunflower7, Garnier Curl Sculpting Gel does contain Parabens which acts as a preservative and are derived from an acid which naturally occurs in many fruits and vegetables. Safe ranges for the use of parabens in cosmetics have been established around the world, and without them, Garnier products could spoil and become harmful to you. We are continuously working to develop innovative formulas that are less vulnerable to microbial contamination, while also limiting the use of parabens, always keeping your safety a top priority, and ensuring Garnier maintains its superior quality delivered to you.5 years agoHelpful?
