Apex Matte Cream draws inspiration from our bestselling Río Texture Cream. We added activated charcoal to give the product a bit more grit, dryness, and texture, and we varied the combination of waxes and clays to produce a product that remains exceptionally smooth and easy to use - but with increased hold and endurance over its predecessor.

Apex is easy to use in all hair lengths, delivering a lightweight and airy texture when used in dry hair, or tighter controlled hairstyles when used in damp hair. It’s got a medium to firm hold to keep your hair in place and keep you looking great throughout the day. Need more hold? Use a bit more product to dial it up.

🌱 Vegan friendly with no animal-derived ingredients.

The holy grail of creams!

Finally found a product with medium hold, a true matte finish, smooth scoop out, and easy application! Astra was a bit strong but the scent wears off. Glad I gave Apex a shot because I'll definitely be back for more.

Fantastic product.

Holds really well! Astra is a great fragrance but it's not too overpowering. Application is easy and has a wonderful matte finish.

Good alternative to Aurora

Unlike others, I don't come from using Rio - I primarily use the Aurora pomade. What I really like about Apex is that the hold is comparable, but application is much easier, less pulling on the hair, and the feel is more natural/less tacky. It does appear to have a matte finish in the hair as stated. I'm happy with it and will probably go in for another. Note the product is gray in color, so when you open the top, don't be surprised.

Good stuff

I just got my jar of apex in the mail and I'm really impressed. I have longer hair that I style back and it hits the perfect sweet spot. Enough hold to keep everything in place but still easy to apply and doesn't feel heavy in the hair. It's light, dry, and with solid texture.

I found the halcyon scent a bit too strong but that's just personal preference. I prefer just enough to cover up the base smell of the product and it's definitely noticeable when I'm wearing it. Not a deal breaker, but it's something to note. Fortunately the scent is alright but I would like something a bit more subtle.

Apex

Apex is the answer to people that like rio but doesn’t have enough hold for them. Astra is a fantastic addition to her fragrances. Every time Kathy releases something new you can expect great things, her products are all solid. Apex is the perfect product of texture, hold and dryness. Highly recommend grabbing a jar.
