Multi-use products are brilliant for the time-poor and the travellers. We can’t get enough of these products that promise to do more. The SPF moisturiser that protects the skin from harmful UV rays, as well as improving hydration levels. The tinted balm that works just as well on the lips as it does on the apples of the cheeks. And the hair cream that claims to nourish, tame, condition, define curls, smooth frizz, prime, add texture, boost shine, that can also be used as a mask? Yes, please, we’ll take a metric tonne of it.
But can a product really do all of these things? Solve so many of our haircare worries and concerns? We’re used to hair serums that seal the cuticle, whilst also offering up heat protection and blow-dry sprays that boost shine, but a pot of cream that says it can do nine things? There aren’t many of those.
