Most Helpful Positive Review Best Hair Product I've Used I'm a male, 22 years old. I wear my hair either as the old school slicked to the side or I spike it up and messy. For the past couple years I've been using pomade for my hair for either style but I never liked the way the pomade made my cowlicks worse. I also wasn't crazy about the shine that pomade had.
I am quickly becoming an insistent customer of Kiehl's meaning I will only use their products. The first product from Kiehl's I bought was the scalp treatment because I was getting very dry, flaky, and itchy skin on my scalp. After the first use I was extremely pleased; the flakes were gone, no damage done to the hair. The second product I bought from Kiehl's was the men's facial scrub because, similar to my scalp, I was getting dry flakes on my face. Same as the first product, this product did the job and left me extremely impressed.
Since I was so satisfied with my previous purchases I decided to buy this product, the Creative Cream Wax. I wanted something that made my hair look natural but controlled the annoying curls and cowlicks that I have. This product is amazing; when I slick my hair to the side it looks natural (no unwanted shine), controls my curls and cowlicks, and it will stay in place all day. I have not had a problem with the product "wearing out" at the end of the day. If I feel like changing the style up, I use the same product to mess my hair up and it looks great and holds well.
Bottom line: best hair product I've used and I will probably never choose another hair product over this one.
Most Helpful Critical Review It's No Malleable Molding Paste Getting on the band wagon here ... Please, please bring back Malleable Molding Paste! This cream wax product isn't terrible, but it's not nearly as good as the molding paste. I'm actually looking at other brands of hair styling products, in the hopes of finding a suitable substitute for your wonderful, amazing Malleble Molding Paste. Why was it discontinued? Again, please bring it back, exactly as it was before, which was perfect.

Thomadrew2212 from San Francisco
I've tried almost every hair product (from $-$$$$) with strong hold and little to no shine and this one takes the title by a long shot. It's not even close. Absolute blow out. Been using this product for 5+ years. Every now and then I get a little bit of a wandering eye, thinking maybe, just maybe, there might be a new product out there that could be better... but I always end up coming back to the Creative Cream Wax
For the best outcome, use on hair after shower when hair is about 93% dry
Pretty perplexed about how this is only rated 3.5 stars....are reviewers thinking they're getting a high-shine pomade? What's going on here? Bewildering...even my girlfriend is obsessed with this wax as a tool to keep stray hairs out of her face.
Please do not discontinue 5
WestSeattleGuy from Seattle
I used to buy 4-5 at a time because this was by far the best product for my hair anywhere. Nothing else like it.
Best! 5
Yon57 from Cowtown, Texas
I have used this cream wax for years & it is the best because it is not greasy, is pliable, does not leave a heavy residue & easy to work through hair. I have short hair & one container lasts me a year.

Time to find a new brand 1
Screwed from Sarasota, FL, USA
This was a great product. So great that Blue Mercury in Sarasota still has the sample to try in the rack. Too funny.
great product 5
marksgo from ohio
this product is a great medium hold product that is not sticky and does not have too much shine ... it does not leave your hair feeling full of product .. if you need a strong holding product this may not be for you, but dont leave a negative comment when its not designed to do what you want it to do ...
Please bring back the... 1
Teabag from Huntington Beach, CA
Please bring back the malleable molding paste!!!
This cream wax is not even close to it. Why discontinue a product that everyone wants??!! I will be spending my money elsewhere unfortunately.
BRING BACK THE MOLDING PASTE! 1
chaserich21 from New York, NY, USA
This is not a good substitute! The malleable molding past was the best product for my hair ever and unfortunately the creative cream wax isnt even in the ballpark.
Please BRING IT BACK!
Terrible replacement for the Molding Paste 1
bodekkc from Los Angeles, CA, USA
This is not even close to the same thing, bring back the Molding Paste like everyone wants!
Best 5
Edman from undisclosed
I've been using this product 10+ years. Light-weight, non-greasy, light to medium hold. This product is amazing in adding body and volume, and rinses right off with water. It also smells great. I highly recommend it.
No good 1

Bring back Malleable Molding Paste!!
Will have to go to a different brand...
This cream wax not even close to the paste!
The Best Hair Cream Wax product out there in market! 5
Shashi from Nashville, TN, USA
I love this product! I have been using this product every single day and night for more than 8 yrs!
It cleanly holds your hair. It doesn't make you look like dark hair gel look. It gives you a very classy clean look. The best part, It doesn't have fragrance which i absolutely love it!
Thank you kihels for this lovely product

Bring Back the Malleable Moulding Paste!!! 1
Antetr95 from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Tried the Cream Wax and did not like it! Did not come close to the Malleable Moulding Paste! I dont understand why the moulding paste was discontinued. I've been a loyal customer since 2001 and have been buying several Kiehls products. PLEASE BRING THE MALLEABLE MOUDLING PASTE BACK!
Not a very good replacement 2
GaLee from Atlanta
As others have stated PLEASE bring back the Malleable Molding Paste. I have tried this and the clay wax but they are not comparable! Disappointed!
Thank you.

Bdkie12 from undisclosed
This is a poor replacement and nowhere nearly as good. I created an account just to leave this review. I always got MMP as it was a great product and now with this substitute - not awful but seriously lacking - I am probably going to check out some products elsewhere. Bad decision and the hair products for men were already a bit limited before.
Not the same as Malleable paste! 1
Lovekiehls16 from New york
I bought 6 of this like 1.5 weeks ago. The hair gets kind of hard and not soft like malleable paste. Not a good product. Not the same results as malleable paste. I dont even want to use the WAX!!! I spent my money on nothing.
Want the malleable paste BACK!!!!
Why? 1
KinkyandCurly from Oakland, CA
This is no substitute for Malleable Molding Paste. Insufficient hold for kinky curly hair. Maybe your executive decision makers who decided to discontinue MMP are unaware of the challenges of this type of hair. I will need to look elsewhere for a hair styling product.
Please let me know when you bring it back.

Another plea for Malleable Molding Paste 3
mabrva from undisclosed
Honestly, I have rarely seen such tone deaf responses from a brand like this. As others have mentioned, the wax is in no way an appropriate substitute for the Malleable Molding Paste. It was the reason I became a loyal Kiehl?s customer in the first place. I understand that brands reconfigure products and selections, but without a suitable replacement, I am definitely going to take my business elsewhere. Bring back MMP, and I will be back with money in hand.
Had to give it a good review... 5
MediumLengthCurls from Denver, CO, USA
Totally understand everyone else's sadness of losing their favorite product... BUT i'm new to the brand and also growing my hair out for the first time as a man.
I'm the guy that literally has a dozen hair products and experiments with what works, when. This product is currently my favorite! Most others in Kevin Murphy or American Crew lines are too much hold.
I love this one because it's more of a cream and I can get a natural look. So yea I get everyone's frustration... I didn't even buy my first jar of this. My boyfriend didn't like it (wants more hold) so I was gifted it.
But please don't discontinue this one since it's also unique... annnnd you might as well bring back the malleable paste for all your loyal customers too :)
Not a replacement for malleable molding paste 1
Nantucket208 from LA
Since you discontinued malleable molding paste I have tried creative cream wax and all your other so called styling products. Not one is even close to the same. They are either too flaky, no hold or too dry. Time to move on from Kiehls.
What happened to the Malleable Paste?? 1
BeeTee from Commerce Twp, MI
Finally found a styling cream that worked for me and this is what attracted me to Kiehl products and now you discontinued. Pleas bring it back!
Awful Replacement for Malleable Molding Paste 1
