How much product should I use per shower?
A small, coin-sized amount is usually sufficient to create a generous lather for both hair and body. Adjust based on your personal preference and hair length.
Will this replace my regular shampoo and conditioner?
This product acts as a two-in-one hair and body wash. While it leaves hair shiny, those with specific hair care needs (e.g., very dry, oily, or treated hair) may still prefer to use a dedicated shampoo and conditioner for optimal results.
What is the primary scent profile of Terre d'Hermes?
Terre d'Hermes is known for its woody, spicy, and earthy notes, often featuring citrus (orange, grapefruit), mineral notes (flint), and woody accords (cedar, vetiver, benzoin). It aims to evoke a connection to nature.
Is this product safe for sensitive skin?
While generally well-tolerated, individuals with sensitive skin should perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full body use, especially due to the presence of fragrance. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Troubleshooting
Gel is not lathering sufficiently.
Ensure your skin and hair are thoroughly wet before application. You may also try using a larger amount of gel or a shower puff to enhance lather production.
Scent seems too faint or dissipates quickly.
The scent is designed to be delicate. For a more pronounced and lasting fragrance, consider layering with other Terre d'Hermes products such as an Eau de Toilette or aftershave balm after showering.
Skin or scalp feels dry after use.
While the gel aims to leave skin soft, individual skin types vary. Consider following up with a separate moisturizer for your body and a conditioner if your hair requires additional hydration. Ensure you rinse thoroughly to remove all product residue.
Product dispensing difficulty.
If the gel is thick, ensure the bottle is stored at room temperature. If it's cold, the viscosity might increase. Check the dispenser opening for any blockages.
