A gentle fortifying shampoo that helps reduce hair fall
Biorga Cystiphane Shampoo is a fortifying shampoo for occasional or chronic hair fall in men and women. Its Cystiphane complex combines a cystine precursor (acetyl cysteine), zinc, hyaluronic acid and wheat protein to reinforce the hair fibre from the root and protect it against breakage. A mild, sulfate-free cleansing base washes without irritating the scalp, so hair is left with more volume, resistance and shine. It is a long-standing French pharmacy reference from Laboratoires Bailleul.
The texture
A clear, lightly foaming gel with a fresh, mint-like feel from menthol. It rinses out easily and leaves hair light and easy to style.
Who it suits
- Seasonal or stress-related hair fall
- Fine, weak hair that breaks easily
- Men and women
- Sensitive scalps that dislike harsh shampoos
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains hydrolysed wheat protein, so skip it if you avoid gluten on the skin. It reduces hair fall and helps hair look fuller; it does not regrow hair. For best results, pair it with the Cystiphane lotion or supplements.
How long one bottle lasts
Used two to three times a week, a 200ml bottle lasts about two months.
