Shampoo and conditioner

Love the whole line. There's a learning curve to using it (I struggled the first few times) but once you get it, it's great. Quality shampoo that doesn't leave my hair feeling dry, and the new deep conditioner formulation is a winner. I prefer the screw tins rather than the squeeze, and my only complaint is that if you forget to loosen the lid or cap before you get your hands wet, expect to have to fully dry your hands and the container. Better ridges (like a gear shape) or something would help wet hands open these, even the squeeze tube caps could use a redesign for accessibility. I travel often, and the travel size tins are a constant in my dopp kit. 

I tried the matcha latte and the oat milk latte with wildly different opinions. The matcha latte was delicious - sweet but not too sweet, creamy, and a gentle brain boost (though whether due to caffeine or adaptogens, I can't really say). The oat milk latte was just not good - even after shaking well was not remotely well combined, and it didn't taste creamy or smooth or nice, just chunky thin oat-flavoured coffee. I struggled to finish that one. Maybe I should have gotten the macadamia coffee latte since I think that's the milk they use in the matcha version? But regardless, it's a little steep price-wise for me, especially for this level of inconsistency within the brand.

Love the concept, but did not love the experience. The scrubber was too big for my hand and kept slipping off my fingers, plus my body wash didn't suds up as much as it does with a bare hand. I'd try a smaller version (for smaller hands) and may give the face scrubber a try, but the body version in its current form was a disappointment.

Update: Potion finally got back to me, seemingly in response to this review, and sent out the product without more delay. Glad I finally got the order but customer emails going to spam is a significant problem if the customer is replying directly to the original order email (as the footer says to).

For the product itself, it's tasty. Not too salty, not too sweet, punchy but not sour flavour, and contains what seems to be the going ratios for sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Each sachet is for ~23oz of water but might be better served by being packed for ~16oz of water, which is a more common size for water bottles both single-use and refillable. My glass holds about 19oz - maybe a stronger flavour than originally intended but again, tasty, and I feel pretty hydrated. Will definitely come in useful during the hot summer months.

Original review:
Ordered Dec 6, got a tracking number on Dec 9. Tracking number says "pre-shipment info received, waiting for parcel", and hasn't changed in a full month (it's now January 6). I've sent multiple follow-up emails without any reply. Even if the product is great, I couldn't tell you because their logistics team has completely fumbled. Hoping this is a one-off, but it leaves a sour (electrolyte-free) taste in the mouth.

I take the daily synbiotic and it's been a very noticeable positive shift from the last probiotic I was taking. Wish it was one capsule instead of two, but it's worth it for me. This regulates my digestion like nothing else, if you get my drift. Definitely a subscription I'm keeping.

Love this brand! I've been buying their sauces regularly for years - obsessed with how easy it is to make really flavourful Asian food with like... no effort. They have plenty of recipes if you're feeling fancy but I've also used some of these as basically a stir-fry sauce on low-energy days and it's still poppin. These will for sure stay in my regular rotation, especially now that you can get individual packets at Whole Foods without having to commit to a whole box.

I liked this so much I upgraded when the new one came out (with the 1/4-20 screw hole) and got the bluetooth remote. Big big fan - it's so little and I don't notice it in my wallet on the daily, but it makes taking spontaneous climbing videos easy! Robust, adjustable, easy to get your phone in and out, and the slim design means you don't have to think ahead about bringing a tripod or phone stand 'just in case'. 

I have the Theragun mini - got it from the refurbished section for half price and you'd never know it wasn't new. Three speeds, interchangeable heads, works like a charm to beat the lactic acid out of my forearms or when I'm getting a cramp. Sleek, simple design and high functionality - what's not to love? Also, have had it for years and haven't had any issues like I've heard friends having with lesser brands.

The only product I've tried and repurchased was their deodorant - smelled amazing and worked great at first, but the second stick I feel like wasn't as effective as the first one. Not sure if my body got used to it or what, but I might just have to cycle out and back. That being said, was excellent at the beginning! Keen to try the tinted sunscreen next.

Bought two bags from this brand honestly a decade ago and they're still going strong. I don't use either as my daily bag, but if you take care of the leather it's gonna last forever. Cute classic styling and not unreasonably priced considering the quality. Wish they had more full-size options with alternative locks (buckles are so fussy) but hopefully those are coming.
