Buyer Beware
This stuff is garbage and a waste of money. Just look at the ingredients. It is car wax at 1,000 times the price. I just used it for the first time and threw it away. I need to wash the sticky out of my hair. My hair is flat and sticky and a mess and I have beautiful full and slightly wavvy hair. This is a useless and expensive scam.

American Crew Forming Cream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the American Crew Forming Cream, I can see why its such a popular everyday styling product. Its simple to use, reliable, and gives a really natural finish without making the hair feel stiff or overloaded. The texture is smooth and creamy, so it spreads easily through the hair. I only needed a small amount to style my hair, and it instantly added structure and control while still keeping things flexible. The hold is medium, which makes it perfect for casual, natural-looking styles rather than very structured or slick hairstyles. Love it an recommend

Revlon know what they're doing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's a reason as to why all your barbershops have American Crew populating their shelves; the products are good and this one is no exception. As a curly haired boy who hates having products in his hair this on did it for me, it gives me a nice "healthy" shine to my curls without feeling too heavy on them. They hold my shape well and form my curls in the exact shape I want them to be without making them look unnaturally frozen. I use a half nail's worth of product on wet hair following a shower and let it air dry for maximum effect. The results are curls that keep on curling and would deffo recommend it for anyone with shorter hair with medium curls!

Excellent product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This forming cream is an essential for any man looking to style his hair with volume without a greasy and unprofessional look. I would recommend this for a man at any age looking to improve his hair styling would highly recommend!

Suitable hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product held my hair well without forming a cast which I liked. I have attached before and after photos showing how it lasts over a night out. The actual texture of my hair was okay after applying. I worked it into wet hair to ensure it was spread evenly and thinly. I will continue using it but it wouldn't be something I would buy again, not because its bad, but because there are other products that do what this is trying to do better.

From head hair to beard care!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally received this American Crew Forming Cream to test, but being a woman, I passed it along to my husband to try on his beard. I know it's made for hair but Its been a total game-changer for his grooming routine! It has a perfect medium hold that tames his flyaways without making his beard feel stiff or crunchy like a gel would. It leaves a really nice, healthy-looking natural shinenot greasy at all. Plus, the classic 'barbershop' scent is clean and masculine without being overbearing. Its become his new go-to for a polished look.
