| Authentic Beauty Concept | Hydrate Cleanser & Conditioner |
Formulated with rice, mango, and basil extracts, the Hydrate Cleanser and Conditioner are free of sulphates, parabens, and silicones. As mentioned in my review of the Glow Cleanser & Conditioner from Authentic Beauty Concept, the scent of the products is a standout feature so I had high expectations for the Hydrate Cleanser and Conditioner. Thankfully, this collection did not disappoint. With an overall fresher, lighter profile, the Hydrate Cleanser and Conditioner (and the mask below) have a light floral, cottony scent with a dash of fruitiness. I would dare say that the scent rivals that of some designer fragrances! In terms of performance, both the Hydrate Cleanser and Conditioner are great. The cleanser provides great a lather without stripping the hair while the conditioner smoothes the hair without weighing it down. Personally, the price point of this brand is slightly high. However, when on sale, it's a pretty good deal!

| Authentic Beauty Concept | Hydrate Mask |
Authentic Beauty Concept | Hydrate Mask (C$38 for 200 ml):
Also available in this collection is a hair mask. Free of parabens and silicones, the Hydrate Mask has a thicker texture than the conditioner. It spreads and washes off easily, making the hair super silky and smooth. Personally, I think if you get the conditioner you probably don't need the mask but if you only plan on picking up one product from the range, the Hydrate Mask is a good one to test out!
