Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product The Blonde IQ 8 Calibrated Anti-Brass Cream Lightener has been a great addition to my professional color routine. As a hairstylist, I appreciate how smoothly the cream consistency applies and how evenly it lifts while helping control unwanted warm tones during the process. It gives reliable lift without feeling overly aggressive on the hair, and the anti-brass technology definitely helps create a cleaner blonde result. It’s easy to work with, stays manageable during application, and leaves the hair looking brighter and more balanced after lightening.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good product with good results I like the creaminess and consistency of the product. Leaves hair in good shape and lifts cleanly. I like the oil based developer as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good I discovered that this product provided a pleasant lift and an even distribution of lift. I appreciate that it’s a creamy formula that blends seamlessly. It doesn’t feel too harsh on my hair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product This is a great product for highlighting. Don't let the small container fool you either, a little bit of this goes a long way once mixed. I have used other cream lighteners that I wasn't really happy with in the past but this one is much better. It has a great consistency and spreads easily throughout the hair. After the service the hair feels soft and healthy which is a must have. I can definitely see this being a staple in my salon. I received this product in exchange for my educated review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hair looks amazing I am getting used to it! I’m used to a different consistency for my highlight retouches so it takes some getting used to but great for lighter hair blonding!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this stuff! This lightener exceeded my expectations! I received a 10vol developer in addition to the lightener in exchange for an honest review. I LOVED this product! I have been using Redken a long time and this is very reminiscent of their BlondeIdol line from some time ago. It gave a great, consistent level 9 lift on level 5 hair with only 10 vol and 45 minutes! Will for sure be using again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow I've worked with redken for a long time and im always impressed with the oil delivery systems. This one is my new favorite the lift was smooth, saturation even, and lift was I mean just wow! Def. a must try.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great I was sent the cream lightener with the 10vol developer to try and review! After using it on a few highlight touch ups I’ve come to love the product! Reminds me of blonde icing but not as creamy. It provides great control and consistency! I would definitely recommend this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible Lift and Clean Tones on a Level 6 Base I recently tested the Redken Blonde IQ 8 Calibrated Anti-Brass Cream Lightener on a client who had previously been told she couldn't achieve a clean blonde due to persistent brassiness. Starting at a Level 6/7, I used only 10 volume developer for 45 minutes. The results were incredible—we reached a perfect pale yellow with zero stubborn warmth. The consistency is beautifully creamy and easy to apply, and most importantly, the hair felt healthy and looked amazing. This is officially a new staple in my kit for high-lift results with low-volume integrity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Lightener!! 💛 I was sent the cream lightener with the 10vol developer to try and review! After using it on a few highlight touch ups I’ve come to love the product! It works great especially on my level 7 girlies! I was skeptical about the cream texture but it provides great control and consistency! I would definitely recommend this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 🖤🖤🖤🖤 Loving this lightener! I’ll be honest—I was a little skeptical at first since it’s so different from what I’m used to, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The creamy texture is everything. It glides onto the hair so effortlessly and gives you so much control, making precise application super easy. Definitely impressed with this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Creamyyyyyy Loving this lightener! At first I was skeptical because it’s so different from the norm. But I was so surprised how much I loved it! The creamy texture is everything!!!!!! It glides on the hair with ease & the creamy texture makes it easy to be very precise with your application.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from IMPRESSIVE!!! Tried the L’Oréal Blonde IQ 8 Cream Bleach today and I’m seriously impressed 🤯✨ I was able to lift through 10 years of box color and bring my client all the way to a clean level 8 blonde using just 10 volume oil developer; which honestly speaks volumes about the strength and efficiency of this lightener. What really stood out though? The integrity of the hair. It felt incredibly soft, healthy, and conditioned even after that kind of lift. Zero scalp sensitivity for my client, which is huge when you’re working close to the root. Powerful lift + gentle on the hair and scalp = a win in my book. Definitely adding this to my go-to lineup 💯

Rated 5 out of 5 by from fantastic raw lift The raw lift from this is fantastic!! Used on my level 6 natural client and couldn’t have skipped the toner all together. The consistency is great and no swelling.
Date published: 2026-04-29
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fantastic I received this product to test and review. I'm actually surprised how much I like this cream Lightner. I was really nervous at first as I think is normal trying something new. I really like the results. It lifted exactly to the level I wanted normal was easy to spread and control. I would definitely use more often on my clients and also myself for highlights.
Date published: 2026-04-29
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good. But takes times to learn and get used to it I did find the texture mixed with the developer was a little bit harder to work with and not very easy to use for balayage like it states.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love I received the Redken Blonde IQ 8 Cream Lightener for free in exchange for my honest review, and after testing it I was pleasantly surprised by the performance. The cream consistency is one of the standout features. It mixes smoothly and stays creamy during application, which makes it easy to control placement without worrying about it drying out too quickly. I also noticed very minimal swelling, which helped keep the lightener exactly where I placed it. In terms of lift, the Blonde IQ 8 delivered consistent and even results. It lifted cleanly without creating excessive warmth, and the hair maintained a healthy feel throughout the processing time. The formula spread easily through the hair and provided good saturation without feeling overly heavy. Another thing I appreciated was the predictability of the processing. It lifted steadily and allowed me to monitor the lightening process comfortably without sudden overprocessing. The texture made it suitable for techniques where precision matters, like balayage or controlled highlighting. Overall, I found the Blonde IQ 8 Cream Lightener to be reliable, easy to work with, and capable of producing clean lift while maintaining hair integrity. I would definitely consider incorporating it into my regular lightening routine, especially for applications where a cream lightener provides better control. Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are based on my personal experience using the product.
