KALLOS COSMETICS, KALLOS HAIRCARE LINE: FINAL ROUND!

Finally, I have finished testing a large part of the Kallos Cosmetis hair line, and I come to contribute my opinion based on knowledge.

Kallos Cosmetics is a Hungarian cosmetics brand, created in 1978 in Budapest, specializing in cosmetic products, ranging from body and hair care, to makeup, with a very competitive prices (low-cost). As can be seen in the blog archive, this is not the first time I have tried their products, since their prices and concept are highly tempting.

Simple formulas, based on active ingredients known for their effectiviness in the cosmetics market such as aloe vera, marine algae, hemp, etc., each one promising different results. Considering that when I was using these products, my hair was not straightened (Hair relaxer), completely natural (4C afro hair), this is my experience.

• Hair Shampoo.

Although Kallos Cosmetics does not have the best low-cost shampoos on the market, it cannot be denied that it has some hidden gems, such as the Pro-tox shampoo.

ALOE VERA.

Focused on optimal cleansing of the scalp, it leaves hair free of residue, but tight, making the use of a softening hair mask mandatory, and not optional. While it is true that there are shampoos that allow you to comb the hair in the second application, to detangle it before rinsing, this product makes such a step practically impossible.

CHERRY.

It softens hair, making it easy to comb, while eliminating any residue existing in it, but it continues to leave the hair a little dry after rinsing.

• Hair mask.

Hair masks are sacred for afro hair, especially if it is type 4C, so, after having fallen in love with the Pro-Tox Cannabis hair mask Pro-Tox Cannabis hair mask, whose main ingredient is hemp, famous for leaving hair soft, and easy to style, my curiosity to discover another hidden gems, started to increase.

PRO-TOX.

Its main ingredients are keratin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, which are famous for hydrating, repairing, and softening hair from inside. However, in my case, I ended up obtaining a fluffier and more malleable hair, full of life.

VEGAN SOUL.

I like the concept, the ingredients, but not the formula. Reading the ingredient list, one of the first things to identify, is how the majority of ingredients are from natural origin, allowing the brand to create a product that is practically free of synthetic ingredients, or those considered harmful.

However, although it is true that it has a set of beneficial ingredients, its formula fails for 4C afro hair, making it difficult to comb it, and technically not providing any type of benefit.

CHERRY.

Like the shampoo belonging to the same line, it smells incredibly good, and softens the hair.

ALOE VERA.

One of the best Kallos Cosmetics mask, along with the Cannabis Hair-Protox mask, since both leave the hair extremely soft, silky, and malleable for a long time (up to a week, especially with the Aloe Vera mask). Both are perfect for 4C afro hair, and have become my favorites.

FAVORITES FACE CLEANSER OF 2021: COMBINATION TO OILY SENSITIVE SKIN.

In my opinion, every single product of a skincare routine is important as they have a specifical function related with the skin: cleans, tonify, treatment, moisturize, or protect.

Choosing a bad face cleanser can irritate the skin, even develop melasma or eczema. Based on my experience, I almost burned out my skin with a citric cleanser, the mistake was mine, for use a product not indicated or suitable for my skin type. So, keeping this in mind, I created my 2021 favorites face cleanser list!

Face oil cleanser, by EVOLUDERM.

Is amazing how this face oil cleanser dissolves all the makeup and impurities from skin effortless! Usually, the process of removing makeup and clean the skin have two steps: oil-based cleanser, and water-based cleanser; but with this one, you can avoid the second step, using it twice!!! It doesn’t dry the skin, leaving it soft and tight.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Mineral oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Tocopherol.

Egg mousse soap, by TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.

I finally found one of the most famous face cleanser in Asia, and now I know why is so famous: is one of the gentlest face cleanser foam that I ever tried, being impossible to have a skin reaction using it. The best part is how it removes all the face impurities, turning it in the ideal first or second skincare step in the routine of someone with a very sensitive skin.

The only thing I don’t like about this product is the fact that it have parabens, being in the same situation that I’m with some products of Ziaja: I love the product, I love the brand, I love the concept, but I deeply hate parabens. I know that they have been being one of the most affordable preservative used in the beauty industry, but know we have other ones that are affordable and save too.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Egg yolk extract, Milk Protein, Glycerin, Palmitic Acid, Allantoin, and Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol.

Hydrating cleanser, by CERAVE.

Is one of the most famous products of the brand and is not surprising since it effectively cleans the skin without drying it out. In my case, I even notice how slightly plumps and balance the skin. It doesn’t have foam or soap, but it deeply cleans the skin! I still amazed, and in love.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid.

No problem washing foam, by REVUELE.

This was an amazing discover for the price, ingredients, and effectiveness. Is a nice face cleanser with interesting properties that helps to treat problematic skin types, including sensitive skin. Is not aggressive and is enriched with essential ingredients to help problematic skin types, and prevent breakouts.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS:  Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Salicylic Acid, Castor Oil, and Coco Glucoside.

Apple foam cleanser, by KUESHI.

This is one of my beloved, for the ingredient list, texture, and effectiveness. The texture of this face foam is light and rich at the same time, with a soft apple fragrance. It purifies the skin without drying it out, having Centella Asiatica among its key ingredients, is just perfect.

Ø  KEY INGREDIENTS: Apple juice extract, Aloe Vera, Glycerin, Mentha Piperita, Centella Asiatica, and Citric Acid.

AN AMAZING 5E VITAMIN C FACE SERUM, AND ONE OF THE BEST ONES.

I think that my history with this product, only proves how amazing this product is. A few months ago, I started an anti-blemish skin treatment focused on the use of serums, oils, and moisturizers with good ingredients and skin benefits. All was going well until I commit 2 of the most stupid things a beauty lover human being can do: first, use irritant products on my sensitive skin, and second… hike in a very warm and sunny day after exfoliating my skin (even if I used SPF50, is not recommendable or you will end with blemishes around the mouth area like me): don’t be like me… please!

After that, all my work was partly destroyed! Yes, all those months fighting against my blemishes almost disappeared. My mouth area, my neck, and the under-eye area were a little bit burn and very dark, not pleasant to see. So, I remember how good the vitamin C serum of Revox worked on my skin, and I decided to buy two bottles as a shock skin treatment.

In the past I remember using this serum along with a face moisturizer of the same line, but at some point, I decided to mix them together, discovering an incredible skincare combo with nice texture (finally).

But this time, I decided to use only the serum along with my face oil, as a night treatment, after my face cleansing and toner routine.

I started to see results in two weeks. At first my skin started to renovate itself, day by day, my face was like someone just injected me an instant glow product. Then, the blemishes started to fade, and with that I started to recover my skin… even better!

At the beginning it wasn’t easy to see my face in the mirror, and less take a photo, so I decided to leave you a photo of how my skin looks know, leaving to your imagination how bad it was, based on my vivid descriptions!

On the other hand, observing all this face serum ingredients, I can see why is so good for the skin:

ASCORBIC ACID: moisturizing, brightening, reduce redness and even the skin tone, fade hyperpigmentation, reduce under-eye circles, promotes collagen production, protects against sun damage, soothe sunburns, and boost wound healing.

ALOE VERA leaf extract: fights sun burn, moisturize, antioxidant, fights acne, anti-inflammatory, calming, and helps to reduce stretch marks.

GREEN TEA leaf extract: exfoliate gently the skin, reduce redness and puffiness, protects the skin from sun, and is one of the strongest antioxidants in the market.
