Kristin Ess Peptide Restore Fortifying Hair Serum 1.7 fl oz — Heat Protectant, Moisturizing Repair for Frizz & Damaged Hair

Kristin Ess+ Peptide Restore Fortifying Hair Serum is a concentrated, buildable pre-styling treatment that helps strengthen and smooth damaged hair while providing heat protection up to 450°F.

This serum combines Bondmimetic² Molecular Complex™ and biomimetic peptides with moisturizing hyaluronic acid in a lightweight, vegan formula. Designed to be used on damp or dry hair before styling, it targets strands that are brittle from heat, color, bleaching or chemical services and helps control frizz without heavy residue. The scent is a warm honey cream with almond and vanilla notes for a polished, salon-fresh finish.

How does this serum help hair that’s been weakened by heat or chemical services?

The formula supports strand resilience by using a bond-building complex and peptides intended to reinforce hair structure. While not a medical treatment, the ingredients work together to improve manageability and reduce breakage during styling.

• Bondmimetic² Molecular Complex™ to mimic and support internal bonds
• Biomimetic peptides to fortify the hair cortex
• Hyaluronic acid to replenish moisture and improve elasticity
• Clinically tested in a regimen to increase strength on processed tresses

Will it control frizz and leave hair feeling greasy?

This serum is formulated to be lightweight and buildable, so it smooths flyaways and enhances shine without a heavy or oily finish. You can layer it for added control, applying sparingly to thicker hair or more generously on dry, frizz-prone ends.

• Non-greasy texture that smooths and tames flyaways
• Buildable dosing prevents product buildup
• Suitable for fine through thick hair when used as directed
• Improves softness and manageability after application

How should I use it with heat tools and styling routines?

Use this serum as a pre-styling step: apply to damp hair before blow drying or to dry hair before curling or straightening. It offers heat protection up to 450°F and helps minimize additional damage when combined with gentle styling techniques.

• Apply a small amount mid-lengths to ends on damp hair before blow drying
• Use on dry hair before flat ironing or curling for extra defense
• Layer with other Kristin Ess products in the Peptide Restore regimen for best results
• Adjust quantity depending on hair density and porosity

Is this serum safe for color-treated or sensitive scalps?

Yes—the formula is color safe and free from sulfates, silicones, parabens and phthalates. It’s cruelty-free and keratin-safe, designed to protect treated hair while improving texture and appearance without stripping color.

• Sulfate-free and silicone-free for gentler care
• Color safe and keratin compatible
• Vegan formula without parabens or phthalates
• Signature honey cream fragrance for a subtle salon scent

It suits all hair types—straight, wavy, curly, fine or thick—especially people looking to add moisture, reduce breakage, and protect hair during heat styling while avoiding heavy, greasy finishes.
