Product Review: Philip B. Weightless Miracle Serum Is Scent-Sational

Philip B. Weightless Miracle Serum ($75), the latest addition to the Weightless Collection, is packed with powerful botanicals.

Philip B. Weightless Miracle Serum ($75) just dropped—and the fresh, clean scent is the first thing you notice. While technically it’s a floral, it’s not too sweet, which I liked. You’ll detect the sophisticated scent of magnolia flower and hints of neroli, gardenia, lilac, bitter orange, sweet musk and amber.

This is a subtle, sensuous fragrance for discerning adults, but it’s just the icing on the cake. The feather-light formula is also packed with goodies like sea buckthorn, coconut water, green tea, acai, hyaluronate, prickly pear, cucumber extract and antioxidants.  magnolia flower, coconut water and sea buckthorn.

Every drop of Weightless Miracle Serum smooths flyaways, fights frizz and restores shine without weighing hair down, which is a miracle in itself. It’s also surprisingly versatile. Use it as a leave-in conditioner during the day or apply at night to hydrate parched locks as you sleep.

It’s also a fabulous styling serum. Depending on hair length and thickness, just 1 to 4 pumps before blow-drying delivers a sleek, smooth finish. I was impressed that it didn’t weigh my fine hair down, which is a problem with other styling products I’ve tried. Here’s a breakdown of the powerful botanicals that you’ll find in each bottle of Weightless Miracle Serum:

  • Sea Buckthorn restores shine and elasticity

  • Coconut Water prevents breakage and restores strands

  • Green Tea defends strands while leaving hair super-soft

  • Acai restores shine, strength, and elasticity

  • Hyaluronate delivers deep hydration without adding weight

  • Prickly Pear smooths frizz and seals split ends

  • Cucumber Extract provides lightweight moisture and controls flyaways

  • Antioxidants protect hair from damage and dryness
