King C. Gillette Beard Thickener

this beard product works great, the itchy and dry skin is gone and my beard is soft and moisturized

Not too oily or sticky; has a nice but subtle scent, dries quickly after applying. Not sure it's making my beard any thicker, but it keeps it soft

It really helped my beard growing homogeneously!

Smells great, idk how well it thickens but

I let my beard grow out despite some noticeable bald patches left from cystic acne, a daily reminder of the horrors of this disease from my teen years. I've tried same beard oils to help cover those places with thicker hair, but they were like that expensive "greasy kids' stuff," they just seemed to leave grease all over. I wasn't expecting much from this Gillette beard thickener. I mixed a few drops of the thickener with warm water and rubbed it in well. I wasn't impressed with it at that point (except the fragrance - it's light and wonderful!). So I went to bed. When I woke up I stroked my beard and felt the difference immediately. I don't know what ingredient did the trick - maybe the caffeine - but it seems like the individual hairs are noticeably thicker, then in the mirror, the whiskers definitely fill in the blanks. So I continue to use it at night to ready that bear for a full day. The effect is cumulative - just a little every night does the trick - just a little! - and of course, the effect lasts, even when you wash it off. Yet the beard looks better, healthier, and I feel better about my looks, which gives me confidence to fight the day's devils. I've been using it about a week now and very satisfied, and thus a 5 star rating.

Gives my beard a nice shine and my beard looks a bit thicker, plus it smells really good.

Great product

I really like the smell of this product! (end of the positive portion of the review...) If you're like me and can't grow a decent beard, that's okay! We are all different. Our genetics are different. Some men will NEVER be able to grow a mega-"manly" beard that looks like a small animal is sitting on your face. Just come to terms with that and enjoy your life. And be nice to each other. A beard does not make you a better/manly/different man. A beard is hair, like the hair in your nether regions or on your head. That's it. This "beard thickener" is just another version of snake oil like the countless others that came before it to entice people into thinking there is some magic cure for what ails you (in this case a slight, patchy, slow-growing beard). That's it. There is a heavy alcohol presence to this elixir so be careful around open flames (e.g., candles). The writing on the bottle looks Russian but you can decipher it with Google translate. Typical info. on the bottle. I can grow a decent Vandyke beard on my chin and upper lip but the cheek beard is sorely lacking. I've been growing one for a year now and I've plateaued at something less than mediocre, IMO. It just isn't going to happen. And this product has not and will not make it look any better. I knew that before I bought it but I wanted something that smelled good on my face instead of perfumed aftershave lotion. If you think this product makes your beard grow longer, faster, or thicker, then I'd say you were experiencing the Hawthorne Effect (look it up!), or just the simple passage of time has produced the perceived difference. Either way, it's your money and it's not too expensive, so knock yourself out. Like I said, it does smell pretty decent.
