VYRDICT: Mostly Worth It — Worth 72/100.
🔥 Viral 84/100✓ Worth 72/100Mostly Worth It
Interesting hard-water and damage angle with a sensible acidic formula. The dramatic repair percentages come from brand instrumental testing of the full system. Effective-feeling luxury treatment, but CA$89 makes value the weak point.
