Cyklar reviews and discussion

Cyklar is another brand from an actress and content creator so honestly, I was not expecting much. However, I was quite impressed. I really enjoyed the in-shower body oil balm. I have used Hanni in the past, and I found it harder to scoop out of the packaging whereas Cyklar's squeezes out easily. The only thing I didn't care for is it didn't seem much product in its continer.

I received this as a Christmas present from my in law who had just started using cyklar products she knew I would love this scent and she was right. I still have over half of this body oil because it comes in such a big bottle and has such a good price point. so it is an oil soluble, vitamin C, multi oil plunge with squealing body oil and it just says to massage a generous amount all over body and that’s what I do and it’s fantastic. The scent stays forever. It doesn’t get on my clothes it dries into the body really quickly. If you are debating it pull the trigger this is it.

The Fragrance-Free Nutrient-Rich Body Cream is more straightforward. It’s thick, hydrating, and does exactly what you need, especially if you’re avoiding scent to layer on your other fragrances. Nothing flashy, but reliable and easy to use every day.

The Lactic Acid Foaming Body Polish is a standout for me. It actually feels like it’s doing something—gently exfoliating while still working as a cleanser. The texture is satisfying, and it leaves my skin noticeably smoother without feeling stripped. One of the few body exfoliants I’d keep in regular rotation.

Vanilla Verve is a beautiful everyday vanilla fragrance. It opens sweet without being overpowering, then settles into a warm, creamy scent that lasts for hours. It layers well with other perfumes but is just as lovely on its own. Cozy, elegant, and a great value!

The Vanilla Verve scent is not the typical vanilla scent I gravitate towards -- I lean towards the brazillian beach bum lotion from sol de janero (and years ago the bath and body works vanilla body spray) -- this is a different scent. Not as sweet I would say.

The lotion itself is super moisturizing and does not leave you feeling greasy. I would prefer a pump vs the twist off cap just for ease of application. But the amount of lotion / size of the bottle is a great value.

This is my new favorite product. I am not a huge fan of lotion because I hate feeling slimy after, but I know my skin needs hydration. This essence is the key to making my skin hydrated and silky without feeling sticky. It reminds me of the Rhode Glazing milk but for your body. I absolutely love it!

Using Cyklar feels luxurious and mature. The body washes feel so slippery and hydrating. Even after rinsing my skin feels hydrated so I know the body washes are actually performing. The body cream performs similarly. Feels so luxe and moisturizes my skin really well. I do wish the scents lasted longer. The body washes don’t leave any lingering scent on me once I’m dried off after the shower and the body lotion scents disappear quite quickly. The Sacred Santal scent lingers on my clothes though. The scents are very well-balanced and don’t feel juvenile at all. This is adult luxury. Even the packaging with the gold lettering and subdued colors screams elegance. I love having this displayed. Sacred Santal is warm, musky, clean skin. Bergamot Bond is a very green, herbaceous scent. It’s really pleasant and spa-like. Naked Neroli is warm and a bit citrusy. Has a bit of floral as well. Vanilla Verve has the least scent power to me. Almost to the point of I’m wondering if I smell anything. I smell very faint vanilla, not too sweet, but that’s it. I wish I got the spicy vanilla I hear other people talking about! I like the perfume roller balls for travel or to throw in my bag for on the go. The scents don’t project at all, just stay right on the skin, so they’re nice for peace of mind or being in close quarters with people but not much else. I love the formulations and the scents overall I just wish they performed better.

Ok. Sad news incoming. This product is everything I hate about social media and influencer marketing. For all the hype I’ve seen online I would’ve thought this was some amazing product when in reality it’s just plain bad. The scent is GROSS and I like santal. Not this one! Completely nauseating. Save your money.

I really did not enjoy this scent. However, I gifted it to my friends and they loved the scent, the quality of the product, and that it was a gift! I am still curious to try out other products based on what I've heard from other people.

I really wanted to love this deodorant because I genuinely like Cyklar’s scents and their skincare-forward approach. The Bergamot Bond scent is fresh and subtle without being overpowering, and the gel formula feels lightweight, smooth, and absorbs quickly without leaving residue. It definitely feels like a more elevated, skin-friendly product. That said, it just doesn’t work as a deodorant. Even with consistent application, I didn’t get reliable odor protection throughout the day. I found myself needing to reapply often, and even then it wasn’t effective. Overall, I love the scent and appreciate the ingredients and formula, but the lack of performance makes it hard to recommend.

Full disclosure: I occasionally receive free products from Cyklar, and it’s how I discovered the brand. But I have also made my own purchases from them. I’ve tried most products, with the exception of the perfumes. Everything has been extremely high quality and the fragrances are incredible. Vanilla Verve is as good as everyone says. I recently received the self-tanning lotion, and it’s lived up to my high expectations of the brand. It’s a really thin formula that spreads easily for no streaking. It’s not completely without odor (IMO no tanning product smells 100% great) but it’s not bad either.

This was my favorite scent out of everything I tried. I'm going to get more Naked Neroli products in the future. Deodarant seems effective - I am not sensitive to natural deodorants but this did not cause me any issues.

Still TBD on its effect but it seems like an innovative product. Sometimes it's easier to spray than rub on more product when it's full-body.

Smells really nice and doesn't leave my skin dry.

Really nice body lotion, unfragranced. Goes on smooth and absorbs very well, I clearly feel moisturized even I the dead of winter - but not too heavy for summer. The lack of fragrance is a welcome differentiator - it really has no smell at all.

I like the Amber Hour scent a lot. It's smells good, it's subtle, and is fairly long-lasting. I think I'd try the Sacred Santal next because I have the deodorant in that scent, and it's really nice. Speaking of, the deodorant is extremely good! It lasts! And I've tried so many deodorants. Cyklar is great!

This hand cream smells lovely and has a nice, rich feel to it. It's the perfect consistency. The scent isn't too "vanilla-ey," it's a warm scent. I love putting it on constantly just to smell it. I want to try other scents next!

I love Cyklar! I've tried as assortment of products including the Vanilla Verve Nutrient-Rich Body Cream. It smells so good, it's a nice, subtle smell. My husband noticed the scent and complimented it, then he found where I hid it and has started using it as well. It's a nice, thick consistency that feels buttery. Highly recommend!
