Please bring the old version back
This is my first review. I'm a long time Kiehl's customer, and I generally LOVE your products. However, I'm truly disappointed in the reformulation of the hair gel. I understand that as a company you want to reformulate products from time to time, but why mess with a product that people (men and women) seemingly loved?? Any why anger 1/2 of your customer base by taking a unisex product and making it for men? I have to use another styling product with the gel in order to make it smell less musky and manly. I'm actively searching for another product - please bring back the old formula!!

PlEASE PLEASE BRING BACK ORIGINAL FORMULA!!!!!!
PlEASE PLEASE BRING BACK ORIGINAL FORMULA!!!!!!
The scent of the original hair gel was what got me hooked onto Kiehls. The new package of the hair gel is horrible. I like to see how much gel is in the tube. The dark packaging is depressing.
When I found out you were discontinuing the original formula,
I went to all the local department stores and purchased as many as I could. I then ran out and had to purchase the new formula which is not the same.
Why would a company change something that people love so much???? That’s bad marketing.
PlEASE PLEASE BRING BACK ORIGINAL FORMULA!!!!!!

Smells bad
I had been using the Clean hold Styling Gel for years until it was discontinued. So I bought the new Clean Styling Gel. It works well, but it smells like roofing tar. It is so bad, I stopped using it for fear that others may notice the smell. So when I run out of my old Clean hold Stylng Gel I'll try Jack Black and see how that works.

The Best
I had been using another brand for 5 years and then I saw this as a new product. Being that I use a lot of Kiehls products I decided to try. I'm glad I did. This stuff is amazing. It doesn't even feel like you have gel on, its very light but does the job. No flakes or nothing at the end of the day on my shirt. It's not hard so if you do touch your air its likely to mess up somewhat but it does stay in place if you leave your hair alone.

clean hold
I have loyally used the old product for years. Waited patiently for the "re_packaged" gel to appear; so excited when I found it in Kiehls Orlando, in fact I bought 2 tubes. On the first application the smell was ,well , different. Upon applying I was immediately aware of the change in consistency, it seems thicker and stickier, almost a gooey feel. It does not spread easily and my hair feels wet and heavy, The old formula was a far superior product that worked superbly well. I am puzzled as to why you had to take a perfectly performing gel and change it to where , at least for me, it is unusable and inferior. After many years of being a loyal customer I am beyond disappointed that this change has been made.

Discount the skeptics
I initially was put off by the poor reviews, but this really is a great gel. Like many, I'd used the previous lemon-scented product. It was terrific. But so is this one. The difference is miniscule--and certainly not worth a downgrade to a one-star review. I'm sticking with this.

Not same as the old product
I had used the previous edition of Clean Hold for years. Was dismayed to see that it was re-packaged as a men's product. Read the review about the smell and decided to go to the store to try it for myself. I totally agree that the smell is a bit overwhelming. Really sad to see this happen. Kiehl's discontinued the Strong Hold product a while ago (which I liked). Now I am unhappily going to have to look for a new line for hair styling.

don't buy it, formula has changed
formula has changed from the original clean hold styling gel. It has a scent and it's sticky unlike the other formula. I don't mind the scent too much but I prefer no scent. I would wait until they re-release the original in early 2018.
