A cooling shampoo that soothes a sensitive, uncomfortable scalp
Kérastase Specifique Bain Vital Dermo-Calm is a soothing shampoo for sensitive, easily uncomfortable scalps, suitable for all hair types. It cleans the hair and scalp thoroughly while calophyllum oil helps soothe the scalp and piroctone olamine helps keep the scalp feeling comfortable. A menthol derivative adds a fresh feeling and glycerin hydrates, leaving hair clean, soft and shiny.
How it works
A clear, fluid gel that lathers well and spreads quickly through wet hair. You feel a gentle cooling effect on the scalp during the massage, then it rinses out cleanly without leaving the lengths heavy.
Who it suits
- Scalps that feel uncomfortable or tight after washing
- Sensitive scalps that react to harsher shampoos
- Normal to slightly oily hair that needs frequent washing
- Anyone who likes a fresh scalp feel
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains sodium laureth sulfate, parabens, denatured alcohol and fragrance. If your scalp is very dry or reacts to sulfates, the richer Bain Riche Dermo-Calm is a gentler match.
How long one bottle lasts
Used three to four times a week with a walnut-sized amount, the 250ml bottle lasts about six to eight weeks.
