I did and the smell, that remained,, was aweful. Like roach spray!
It seems like an oily mess IMO - has mineral oil in it. I don't know if that rinses out (other chemicals in the formulation can make it) or stays. Seems like junk

I have silicone serums, which I always liked, but this system is sooooo bone dry, serums not working well

Yeah, anything with silicone or mineral oil is the absolute cheapest bottom of the barrel product. It may make it shiny for a little while, but it ends up making the hair much worse.

Have you tried pure jojoba oil? I know I'm a broken record with it :)

You know - I think you're absolutely right regarding silicone. It temporarily does something but has a deleterious effect on the system overall. Obviously it leads to greater shedding, but I think it damages the hair as well.

You prefer pure joboba to the ever-popular moroccan oil?

Yes. Jojoba is the closest to natural sebum.

In what aspects does it make the hair much worse?

I will order one to try out. I am using leave-in conditioner but feel like the shine of the hair does not look really natural.
