Best product for my hair I have ever found.
4 months ago
I have been using this product for 15 years at least. I even take my own to my stylist when I get my hair cut. He has nothing that compares in his line of products. It gives body and hold to my very straight and fine hair.
I am distressed when I have difficulty finding it.

I’ve been using this product for many years and my hair looked great. I got compliments on my curls everywhere l went until recently. Why would you change a product that was great? If it’s not broken, don’t fix it ! L’Oréal took it from a 5* rating to a 3 …

Not Melting Gel Substitute
10 months ago
Please bring back melting gel! It’s a decade later and people STILL begging you to bring it back or make a “new” product with the old melting gel formula. With this many requests you have to wonder is L’Oréal unable to swallow their pride and admit it shouldn’t have been discontinued or something? Never seen a following like this before for a drug store hair product. Is there a Kerastasse product that’s the old melting gel at double the price? Please share the name if so. I will buy it.

What did you change?

Appreciate the new packaging. Did the formula change? This barely holds my curls for 10 min. Have been using for over 10 years. No need to change it.
Thanks :(

Bring Back Melting Gel

This product is not a good substitute for Melting Gel. L'Oreal, you need to admit your mistake and bring back Melting Gel. I am reluctantly looking elsewhere to replace Melting Gel. L'Oreal are you listening?

No Good

Not good at all. Melting Gel was a lot better and not as sticky and stiff as this one is.
I am not sure why Loreal would not bring back Melting Gel. It had a strong hold, mild smell, allowed the hair not to look natural.

I am in love with this hair gel. It’s right between a lot of hold and very soft; it’s the perfect combination and reminds me very much of the old L’Oreal melting gel.

Nowhere close to melting gel
2 years ago
This is not an alternate to melting gel. I am sure your marketing team is seeing sales numbers and saying oh this is working but mind it half of those purchases are a result of customer mistaking the product as same as melting gel. Bring melting gel back and keep this SKU for customers who like this one

Changed formula?
3 years ago
Have been using this product for 10+ years. The product I recently purchased is creamy and soft, not the tacky putty it used to be. You definitely have to use much more to achieve the desired effect. Has the formula changed or is it a bad batch?

New formula made this product worse
3 years ago
I’ve been buying this for years and loved it, but they changed the formula and now it’s got a different texture and doesn’t give the same strong hold it used to. It’s a much thinner consistency than it used to be, so you need to use more of it to give the same hold as a small amount of the old formula would give you. It’s a really annoying change and made the overworked hair putty much worse. I would have kept buying this if it didn't change.

Holds curls well

I just started using this product. It works great.
One disadvantage, the lid has a sharp edge that is used on many products today. It took a week for the cut on my thumb to heal. I suggest a different style lid.

OMG BEST GEL EVER!
4 years ago
I've tried other brands & this one leaves no residue & doesn't make my fine wavy hair oily like some other products. Just not crazy about the smell. Should be fragrance-free. At lease the smell dissipates quickly. Works great but, then again, I never tried the "melting" hair gel everyone is raving about but was discontinued.

New Lid?

I've been using this product for 10 plus years and the last 3 bottles I've purchased had the lid crack and break . Using a new cheaper plastic? This makes for a very messy bottle.

Thick and Way too Sticky - like clear glue

Very disappointed. Wonder who at L'Oreal is responsible for suggesting this product as an alternative for the Melting Gel. I tried it and its texture is not even close. Like comparing hockey to bowling - Yeah there both sports, but ... Please bring back the Melting Gel and I will order 30 of them.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Studio Line Clean Gel is great gel!
5 years ago
I love the strong hold! My hair is stubborn and straight so it works great for me. My one complaint is the plastic cover on the tube. I've dropped two containers on the floor and your brittle cover always breaks in half. My suggestion is to make a more durable cover for product enhancement.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing for medium length hair
5 years ago
I had to write a review, because I'm shocked that there are so many 1 star reviews. Perhaps they are fake reviews from a competitor? I have used this product for a while now and can say that it provides excellent hold to my hair (men's medium length hair) w/o looking greasy like some of the other hair gels out there. The best time to put it on is right after you shower, then use a comb.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Does not compare to melting gel!

I feel the same as many others. The melting gel was awesome! This clean gel is not a replacement...does not come close. It's sticky and heavy. Please listen to the consumers. I will definitely purchase again if you bring it back but I am not buying the clean gel ever again.
No, I do not recommend this product.

NOT like melting gel
5 years ago
This is not a good replacement for The melting gel (discontinued). I had used Melting Gel religiously for years — it was the only gel that controlled my fine curly hair without weighing it down or making it feel weird. Everything else (like this clean gel) leaves my curls limp and frizzy. I’ve spent a small fortune trying to find a replacement. This has been so disappointing — PLEASE bring back the melting gel as it was. It was perfect.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Bring Back the Melting Gel!
5 years ago
I have been using the Melting gel for over a decade and it's the only product that works with my unruly very curly semi-frizzy hair, leaving it super soft when it dries. The Clean gel, Invisi-gel and all the others leave my hair feeling like a crusty helmet. Please bring back the Melting Gel. THAT is the only product that is different than the rest.
No, I do not recommend this product.
