Cyklar reviews and discussion

I didn’t want to love this brand, because it’s a bit pricier than what I normally want to spend for body care. But I really do love it. The packaging, and more importantly what’s inside it, feels very luxurious. The scents are akin to a higher end fragrance company, and the formulas are down right decadent. My skin felt extremely well moisturized with all these products, and the feeling lasted all day. My favorite was the oil balm. It’s meant to be applied in shower and then gently toweled off. I expected that it wouldn’t work well, but still felt very moisturized after drying off, plus was able to get dressed right away without having to wait for the product to absorb. I just wish more product came in the tube - it doesn’t last very long at all.

I can't say enough good things about everything I ordered. I think if I had to pick a favorite, I would say the in-shower balm is my favorite. I've never seen anything like it. It really does go right on wet skin and absorbs like a dream. I still put the oil on top after I get out of the shower and the next day, for the first time in my life, I can tell that my skin is hydrated. Combine that with the glycolic acid exfoliating spray once a week and my skin is unbelievably soft and hydrated.

The scent is absolutely incredible. It is elevated and strong and beautiful. I also got the hand lotion and LOVE the packaging. The neroli scent is floral forward and not as citrus so finding the right scent with Cyklar is important but once you do it is great!

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 purchased two perfume oils from cyklar, and thought they were really worth the price. The scents were really pleasant, and since they were kind of inexpensive, I felt compelled to try a few and ones that I wouldn’t necessarily gravitate towards. I also like how the oils were great to layer under other perfumes. I think my only gripe would be the roller ball makes it so I have to roll it a few times before any product comes out- but I imagine this is good for travel/ preventing leaks. The packaging is incredibly sleek, and really resembles something that would be a lot more expensive. I’d try the other products from this brand, however I’m tempted to purchase other perfume oils given how much I like them.

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.

I’m a big fan of the Cyklar body oil! The sacred santal scent smells incredible and is easy to layer with other scents, and the oil itself makes my skin feel and look hydrated without being greasy. Only cons are the price, and I feel like you have to use a lot of oil

Wasn’t sure what to expect from an in shower moisturizer, but it turns out to be lovely. Long lasting moisturizing that absorbs completely and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling. It goes on after a shower, before toweling off. The scent lasts, for more than a day. I bought it as a bundle with the body polish, which is also a great product. Surprisingly good value, it’s a large volume. The scent I bought was Sacred Santal. Which managed to be nice, warm, not floral or too Musky. Really glad to have found Cyklar

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.

Today, I’m reviewing Cyklar Vanilla Verve Mandelic Acid Brightening Deodorant Gel. I made sure to post my unboxing video, which you can see below, and I’m really glad I took a video of the unboxing because I was able to show my reaction to the packaging. I was so impressed with both the packaging and bottle that the deodorant came in. It’s really does look like a fancy perfume, it does not look cheap at all, and I want to keep it on my countertop as a decor piece that I also use daily now, it is three days later and I have used it every day. It keeps my under arm smelling fresh and the vanilla scent last all day, or almost all day. If I’m in the mood to not wear perfume and just wanna wear deodorant sometimes I will reapply it to my underarms throughout the day and instead of actually applying a perfume. This has gone really well with my actual vanilla perfumes, my favorite one to wear it with is the Billie Eilish No. 1 perfume, which is a very vanilla scented perfume, and it’s very gourmand, and I would describe this deodorant as a vanilla gourmand as well. The two reasons I bought this deodorant was first, due to it, including the ingredient, mandelic acid. I’m a big skin care nerd and mandelic acid has done wonders for the dark spots on my face, and as a girl with very dark hair on both her head and body, including underarms, I was so excited to see a deodorant that also includes that particular ingredient. I’ve always been very insecure about my dark underarms, in the darkness is very visible, even after right after I shave. I can’t wait to see the effects of this deodorant on the dark skin that I have after using it for a few more weeks. The second reason I bought it, is because the sent note sounded right up my alley, and are the type of notes you see in perfumes, not notes you usually see in deodorants so I was really excited about that. So far, I’m loving this, and I look forward to applying it every day.

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 purchased the body wash and body lotion in the Crescent scent and it smells so good- its definitely a much more elevated scent compared to what is offered from drug store brands (which is good and what I expected because of the price). The scent of the body wash doesn't linger much after, but that's to be expected and is why I got the lotion to match. I feel like I see the Vanilla Verve and Sacred Santal scents a lot on social media, but I wanted to change it up from my usual vanilla scents and don't regret it! The Crescent scent is a musky floral with some sweetness to me and unlike anything I've smelled before, and I think it matches well to a scent I'd want to wear often regardless of season. I want to try other scents and their body oil in the future!

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!
