Ingredients
red camellia oil
For over two centuries, camellia flower seeds have been harvested from the Japanese island of Toshima, where each seed is handpicked and transformed into a nourishing oil. Very rich in essential lipids, Camellia Oil is one of the most rapidly absorbed oils. Traditionally, camellia oil has been used to promote shine and nourish the hair while maintaining the lipid barrier on the skin longer, which promotes skin health and hydration.

"Right before bed, I like to apply 1-2 pumps on my mid-length and ends, brush through and pull back into a braid to create effortless beach waves the next day. The best part is when you wake up, there is no need to rinse! Once I take my braid out, I like to apply one more pump to my very ends before I head out the door for that extra nourishment."

Hydration Station
Wow, I have used hair oils, serums, leave-in conditioners and nothing has compared to this Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Overnight Serum. While some of the other products I've used in the past were good for detangling or giving my hair a little extra softness, my hair has never absorbed and drank up any of those other products the way they do with this. Most of the hydrating serums I've tried just felt like they were coating my hair in silicone, sitting on top of it, never absorbing it. Even though I have virgin hair these days, no dyes, don't use heat tools or other damaging styling products, my hair has really been feeling dry, straw-like, and gets so frizzy from humidity and sweating like never before. My split ends have been out of control. I'm not sure if it's my getting older or if it's the city water but, my hair has just been so sorry looking and feeling the past couple of years. I cannot believe how much of a difference this serum has been for my hair and even my scalp since I started using it. My hair smells great, feels silky smooth, my natural color looks more vibrant and shiny, no split ends or frizz in sight and even has my scalp feeling more comfortable by combing it through so it conditions my skin. I have long, straight hair that reaches passed the middle of my back, and I can easily run my fingers through my hair with no snags or tangles after using the Absolue Overnight Serum. My hair drinks this stuff up like someone who just ran a marathon guzzles water. It doesn't leave any greasy or sticky residue behind, zero flakes, and all of this without weighing your hair down. It somehow feels lighter? Like how you feel after a wash and trim fresh from the salon! It's bonkers! And you can even use it on fully dry hair! It absorbs just as fast and leaves it looking and feeling just as great. I don't wash my hair every day due to how dry it has been however, I still use this serum on those days and it keeps it feeling refreshed, hydrated, looking silky smooth, never greasy and again, smelling absolutely fantastic! I can't get over how good this serum smells, it's nothing too fragrant or overpowering, doesn't smell artificial, just really fresh and clean. This stuff is magical for someone like myself who usually has a dry scalp, dehydrated feeling hair that gets frizzy even when up in a ponytail and the bottom from split ends a day or two after washing. I would give this serum a million stars if I could.

Loved it
I absolutely loved the shu eumura essence absolue overnight serum. Not only did it work great as a serum on my hair over night, but I also used it as a pre color treatment conditioner, a finishing oil after straightening my hair, and a leave in conditioner. It smells amazing and a little goes a long way.

Essence Absolue Overnight Serum
I received a small sample packet of this. Since I was only able to use it once, I don't think I was able to notice any difference or improvement to the texture of my hair. For that reason, I wouldn't buy or recommend!

Super Soft Hair
This product is great! I put it in my hair and scalp overnight and covered my hair with a silk wrap to keep the moisture in. When i took it off in the morning and brushed it through, my hair was so soft and tangle free. It wasn't weighed down and greasy like I thought it might be. I'm in love! I definitely need to buy this treatment and use it when my hair feels dry and dead.

Worked Well!
My hair is naturally dry and frizzy so I was very excited to try this. I have a lot of hair but it is fine and wavy. I feel as though this was just a tad too heavy for my hair. It definitely improved the frizz in my hair though!

My hair looks so healthy!
I can't believe that I've never tried this before. I've seen it countless times all over the social media and I'm so happy that I tried it. I dye my hair and it can be dry and dull. But this stuff made it look so healthy. 10/10 would totally get it again

Essence Absolue Overnight Serum
I received a few packets of this serum, and from what I was able to use, it really did make my hair look very nice. I used the packets on damp hair. I really like that this serum did not leave my hair greasy, or looking greasy. It looked very nourished, and it was was very shiny. I think this is a nice serum, and does a nice job at helping moisturize your hair while you sleep.

Bomb and Fabulous
This was my first time trying an overnight serum for my hair and I have to say that I am very impressed. My hair is very thick and wavy and all over the place. Honestly, all you need is a small amount because it goes a long way plus it smells so good. I liked to add a little bit more in the morning just to put my hair in place because it was looking good as soon as you apply it. Overall, the Essence Absolue Overnight Serum works very well and I recommend it to friends.

Leaves hair soft & shiny!
I loved this serum on my color-treated wavy hair. Easy to apply at night after my shower it reduced frizz and my hair was super soft and shiny the next morning and lasted all day. A little goes a long way I start with a pea size amount and if my hair is extra dry I will use a little more. It smells divine too, earthy and relaxing. No faults with this serum I loved it!

The best yet!
I have tried so many restorative hair treatments in my time and have had varying levels of success and failure with them. I keep finding myself going back to a couple cheaper but seemingly reliable products time and time again. Not this time! The first time I put this stuff in my hair, I was worried it was going to make my already dried hair feel greasy and weighed down. I have thin, fine hair so almost any product put on while my hair is dry makes it look gross. First good indicator: it didn't do that. Next good indicator, when I washed my hair the next night, it felt super soft and smooth. I've been using it after each wash since and my hair is sooooooo soft! I shaved my head back in January because my hair had just ended up in horrible condition due to some illness and nutritional issues. I've been regrowing it since and while I know I need to trim it, it takes so long to grow, I haven't done it yet. I'm not sure that this fixes the need to trim, but it sure makes my hair feel a million times better and look shiny and healthy.

Works good
I wasn't quite sure how to use the sample that was sent because the instructions written on the back was so tiny you would need a magnifying glass to read. I looked the product up on Sephora to get the instructions.
I applied to my damp hair before going to bed. I have long thin hair and when I work up there was no visible evidence of product in my hair. It absorbed nicely and didn't make my hair look greasy at all. It reduced the frizziness that usually happens when I go to bed with damp hair. It was still a little frizzy but about 75% reduced. I couldn't really tell if it added shininess to it.

Bye Bye Frizz!!
I am so happy right now, first let me thank Bzz Agent for allowing me to try Shu Uemura essence absolue, this hair oil is amazing & also smells great! It uses cameilla oil, protects your hair against UV light, and it is even safe for colored hair. In fact my hair is dyed purple right now and is usually frizzy and full of split ends, which I have to get cut off soon. I put this in my hair before I went to bed, and when I woke up and went to brush my hair I was amazed, no frizz, soft & shiny. In fact it looked like I went to the salon to have it done. This is a little on the expensive side, but well worth it! It was also an award winner in 2019 HarpersBazaar.com Hair Awards: The Best 35 Products of the Year. In 2018 it won TheKnot Beauty Awards Runner Up for The Best Hair Oil. In 2013 Condé Nast nominated it the "Must Have" product for the beach, which I can see why and in 2011 it won Allures Best of Beauty Award. If your hair is frizzy and needs some help, this is a must have. You will not regret buying this, but you will regret it if you don't. Take Care & stay safe everyone!

Makes my hair soft!
Essence Absolue Overnight Serum is super easy to use. Just apply to damp or dry hair before bed and comb through to spread evenly. It leaves my hair softer and less frizzy! It has a nice scent too. I would recommend it to others with frizzy hair.

Such softness
Heaven for your hair in a bottle. I massage this in my hair and braid it up. Next morning I let it down and I have such softness with no frizzing. It is truly magnificent. I'd recommend g this to anyone with a lot of frizziness whom wants to tame their locks.

Love the scent of the product in my hair. Left my hair shining, full looking, smoothed my frizzy, wavy hair. I liked how the texture of the product feels and goes on not greasy like I expected. Received this as a review and will definitely buy and recommend to anyone wanting to experience softer, shiny, luxurious looking hair.

Not for me
I did not like Essence Absolute Overnight Serum. I woke up with an itchy, red face. Even after I washed my face, I was still itchy. I received a sample of Essence Absolute Overnight Serum in exchange for my honest opinion.
